iPod video converter

Recommended Posts

I managed to run over my 6 year old iPod with a tractor, and the iPod came out on the losing end of that encounter, so I just picked up a new one. I would love to be able to start ripping some of my DVDs. Curious what folks are using for DVD ripping/converting.

I saw a couple older threads, but this technology changes so frequently I thought I'd start fresh with this one.

I'm on a PC (for now).

Well when you move to Mac Jason you could use mac the ripper.

This is a good fast ripper.

Then use mpeg straem clip to convert the vob files to iPod format whcih is mp4.
I find the convertor in iTunes too slow.

Hope it helps

Thanks everyone. I haven't downloaded anything yet, mainly because I'm afraid my P3/700 pc will just crash. In a few different forums online I've read about a lot of the dvd ripping taking hours upon hours on machines WAY better equipped than mine, so I'm a bit hesitant. Picking up a new Mac is definitely in the plan, but more of a long range plan at the moment. The Mac is on a wish list along with Lasik surgery and a motorcycle, so it's got some pretty stiff competition.

Keep the suggestions coming if you use anything different than what has been mentioned. I'm sure I'll give it a try sometime soon, but at the moment I realized that I really don't have any use for watching a full length movie on my ipod! Now I've shifted gears over to trying to find good podcasts to subscribe too.
