I'd rather dump it to my hard drive over letting the DVD drive spin throughout the entire encoding process (which takes a looooonng time).

I've been doing some experimenting with the method outlined in the link above. The iPod is supposed to play both MPEG4 and h.264 video, so I did some test encodings using both code…

A couple other observations:
Queueing in handbreak doesn't seem to be implemented yet after all.
Going into the Energy Saver preferences and changing the setting from "Automatic"…

thanks for the trial run, Icruise. Pan & Scans always results in a larger file size over the Widescreen versions.
Time to get a faster Mac so I can do some faster encodes....

Another update:
From what I have read from people who are now getting their iPods, this encoding method does not work on the iPods (at least the h.264 encoding). And people using …

This is similar to converting your music library to AAC/MP3 - it takes a lot of your time. I remembered sittting for nights on end slowly feeding audio CDs to my Mac. It was excrut…

I have no doubt that a number of "one click" solutions for encoding DVDs to the iPod will crop up soon, although it will still take a long time to do the actual encoding.

yeah, I've always felt like I had to wait a long time while all the good stuff appears on a Windows PC first before finally getting over to the Mac side. Games, in particular, come…

Saying that, there's a Windows app out which does the job:

It's just a mod on the PSP Video 9 app they already had.

Does the videora app's h.264 encoding actually work on the iPod? I've read reports that it does not.

Well, here's a newsflash I found. I bought the 3ivx QuickTime codec ages ago and used that to make QuickTime movies of my DVDs.
When I go out-of-state, I usually bring my 12" Powe…

So I'm curious then. Has anyone successfully transferred a DVD to a video iPod? If the Handbrake method described in one of the above links does not work, then is the only option…
movies from dvd's to an ipod — #18
Well, Handbrake should work if you use MPEG4 (from what I understand). It's the h.264 encoding that may be the problem, although I'm still reading conflicting reports about this. I…

I ripped an episode of Futurama from DVD last night using the ( http://diveintomark.org/howto/ipod-dvd-ripping-guide/ ) instructions and it worked like a charm. Took about 20 minut…

Yes, he's changed the instructions so that you use MPEG4, which should work as I said.

Maybe there's an opening for TV/movie studios to add value to DVDs by offering an iPod-ready version of the movie on their discs.
I remember that Terminator 2: Extreme Edition had…

That would be very cool, but if I know the movie industry, they're much more likely to try and sell it to you for $20 or something ridiculous (just look at UMDs -- they're more exp…

I use DVD Backup for decryption/ripping to HDD, and Handbrake for encoding. 2 pass takes about 35-40 minutes on my dual 2.3. Luckily I had already ripped most of my collection. I h…

Well, encoding movies to H264 is faster on my 2GHz Dothan laptop then it was on my 2GHz iMac G5. Pretty straightformward comparison.

Not that it's going to stop me buying the new 20" iMac, it's far more than the sum of it's parts. I can't wait to get my hands on it.

My iPod still hasn't arrived, but a little more experimenting has led me to believe that using handbrake with two-pass MPEG4 encoding will give you quality that is pretty comparabl…
