Putting DVD's onto my iPod video

Lawrence · Jun 24th, 2006, 11:19 AM

Just got a Video iPod 30 gb and was wondering how to put DVD's onto the iPod,
These are DVD's that I bought and want to watch at my leisure on my way to work on the Toronto transit.

Can I just drag and drop the DVD movie into iTunes?

I find Instant Handbrake to be the best solution. It is like a simpler version of Handbrake that only converts for the iPod video and PSP.

I found a beta version of "iPod Video Converter" here:
http://www.download3000.com/download_15051.html

Just trying it out, Handbrake takes a long time, Maybe this one will be faster.

The listing for the Mac version link is a bit confusing on that webpage,
Here is the beta software link on a mirror:

Really? Handbrake converts a DVD at high H.264 quality in around 45 minutes on a 2.0 ghz imac core duo.

Takes almost all day on my eMac G4...
Guess I should have gotten the G5 computer first before I bought the Video iPod.
