You can try Video to iPod Converter. It can convert mov to mp4. You can download free from here http://www2.dvd-ripper-copy.com/video-to-iPod.html I wish it is useful to you

That program is for PC. I'm on a PowerBook. Anyone have any tips on how to convert .mov files to an iPod compatible format?

The problem is partially that there is no such thing as a generic ".mov file" -- .mov files are in reality a sort of wrapper. The actual video and audio can be in a variety of form…

I've broswed around that forum a bit. I'll prolly look around there deeper for some answers. Thanks for the advice!

I tried to turn on my mini this morning at the office only to discover that it wouldn’t work. Thinking this was the result of a dead battery, I plugged it into my work PC. Not ge…

Take it to your local Apple Store, if you're nice they may replace/repair as a courtesy even though you're out of warranty.

Hey. So I have The Simpsons, Family Guy, That 70s Show, and a few other shows on DVD. I was wondering if there was a way to rip them to my HD, seperate them out into individual e…

Just use handbrake. It's by far the easiest way to do what you want. The only problem is that you have to resize the video to the iPod's dimensions (320 x 240) for each episode you…

Cinematize ! http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/12587

Cinematize looks PERFECT! Any cheaper/free alternatives? hehe I've been looking for a long time for a program that will extract sound/video clips from DVDs.

I've never used or heard of Cinematize, but a casual glance at the feature list shows that it doesn't even decode encrypted DVDs, which means that you would have to rip your DVDs w…

So could you help me figure out how I seperate a DVD that has like 4-6 episodes of a TV show into 4-6 sseperate MP4 files using HandBrake, rather than converting the whole disc...t…

Most TV DVDs are divided up so that the different episodes are in different "titles" on the DVD. So all you have to do is set up handbrake with the proper settings (more on that la…

Also, I use Mac The Ripper to decrypt and compress DVDs, then of course HandBrake to convert them to mp4. Is there a way to compress the file size even more without sacrificing to…

You don't need to use Mac The Ripper with handbrake. I would use h.264 if you're concerned about quality vs. size. It gives a better picture than MPEG4 at a lower size. You can al…

I think I can figure that out. Thanks for the tip! I'm currently ripping Anchorman DVD with HandBrake right now. I ripped it once but it only ripped the deleted scenes and not t…

I'll try h.264. Is there any reason why that isn't the iPod standard? Seems like mp4 is more so the standard. Smaller file size and better quality should be the standard to me.

It is the standard in the sense that all of the iTunes Music Store videos use h.264. h.264 is a variant of MPEG4, though, so if you were to look at the videos in iTunes, they would…

Ahhh, makes sense. Well thanks for all of the good information man, I really appreciate it!

I had the same issue with the Pink Panther Cartoons. Handbrake took care of it all. It does batch conversions, so I can see each episode based on the time chapters (about 6 mins ea…

I got it all figured out using HandBrake finally. Works great!

Ok, so I have my iPod set to sync my address book and photo albums right now. I hate having it sync the entire music library. However, I would like it to sync a few playlists. I…

What are you afraid of? Even if it deletes something, it'll just recopy it to the iPod. It's not going to reset your ipod to the factory default or anything.

You don't need to check the "selected playlists only" box unless you have less space on your iPod than you have music in iTunes. Just let it sync. It'll be OK.

Well I'm afraid it will delete my entire library of music and videos and recopy them because it took forever to load them on in the first place, and I've since deleted all of the i…
