How To Copy DVDs to iPod using free software for Windows

Hi,

I followed the tutorial and the movie converted but the sound loses synch about 5 minutes in. Has anyone else had this problem, or know of a solution.

Also, has anyone used the www.Makayama.com/DVDtoiPod software yet?

Cheers.

There are several discussions about how to convert DVDs to your iPod. The software and converting process is different with each one. Some more successful than others. Does anyone have a proven and successful (less hassle) way of converting DVD's and downloading them to your iPod? Thanks everyone.

Once i have the movie on the ipod can i erase it from the computer?

If i can, do i just send the file to the recycle bin, or is there a process?

Thanks

Is there any way to use videora w/o an internet connection. My computer in my room doesn't have one, and when I went to install videora, it said I needed an internet connection.

Jamie,

First off you've been great in answering questions- but do you have time for one more? I followed your advice and downloaded the videora ipod converter and the dvd decrypter as well as watched the tutorial. But, i got lost with all the steps- is there like a step by step list somewhere i can look at using the software? Im not the most computer literate person, but i figure you can help me.

I downloaded the program. It works great, but it does take a while. I got it to my ipod and it played really well. Once I hooked it back up to my computer the video was erased. I tried putting it back on my ipod but it said that the ipod does not recognize the video or something like that. I then tried it again and it never went into itunes. So basically it lets me play it once and then gets deleted after I hook it back up. Please let me know what is going on.

Did you convert more than one movie? Cause I did, and i forgot to change the file names, so the second file overrode the first file, so I lost the first movie. I had to decrypt and all again, cause I had deleted those files. I hope you can understand my rambling.

I was able to successfully convert and add a video to itunes and then got it onto my ipod. However, now when i try to add the converted file to my itunes library, nothing happens. I try it over and over again and the file just wont get added. Any solutions?

I have to say thank you for the advice, everything on it works great

I followed all those directions . then i went into libary and went to add file . I added it then it showed up and all that happend was a quick preiwview as if it was fast forwarding and that was it ? Did i do somethign wrong

I downloaded the videora ipod converter onto my comp but when i go to open it, it says that the publisher cant be found so i cant download it
what do i do?

Im having a problem, i went through all the steps and itunes thinks its a video file but the video doesnt play and it only plays the sounds, its not working, except 4 the sounds

I followed the directions to a T but I wound up with three files instead of one. What gives?

hi, ive decripted and obtained my .vob file and have converted using the suggested software, but after converting i end up with a .ifo file not .mp4 or mpeg file as it says its producing. Ive followed all directions properly as far as i can tell. Although, i am using win 98 for the decrypt and convert...any problems here? decrytion tutorial says win 98 will not work if you select NONE for when "file spliting" in IFO Mode, but the decrypted file .vob is still produced. any suggestions? Win Media player will not play .vob file. Im planning on transfering MPEG file to itunes (win XP) later.
