movies from dvd's to an ipod — #12

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: http://www.videora.com/en-us/Converter/iPod/ It's just a mod on the PSP Video 9 app they already had. I encoded Garden…

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…

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…

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." It certainly is, now that you've specified …

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…

While browsing the Handbrake forum, it appears that Handbrake uses h.264 Main profile but the iPod's decoder prefers h.265 baseline profile. At the same time, mp4s seem to work. I…

i think i'm gonna stick with mp4 because 1. It doesn't take as long to encode as h.264 2. I'd like to have the ability to watch it on my laptop screen and iPod as well. I don't wa…

Why couldn't you watch h.264 on your laptop screen? It should look better than MPEG4. Unless you mean you will be encoding at a larger resolution?

movies from dvd's to an ipod — #35

ok i found a way to get it working, after you encode the movie as h.264 with handbrake it will result in an .mv4 file, open the file up in qt7.0.3 pro, and export to ipod video... …
