how do

just got my shiny new iPod Video and want to convert some video files for it:

i downloaded summat called Videora (this a good app to use or are there better) - so how do i use this to convert the dvd files from one of my dvds i just ripped using DVDShrink? (or is this not how to get your movie collection onto the pod?)

what a cool device this is

cant talk about it im afraid as its illegal.

SooTyLaD · 17 Jan 2006 at 22:19

whats illegal?

i said i am ripping my OWN dvds... same as my whole mp3 collection is ripped versions of my own cds???

Even if you own the dvds it's still illegal, so is ripping any music cds you own.

still illegal

aaaaanyway who cares tbh, lets just assume you OP was a typo and you are ripping a DVD you made yourself

yes videora is the best, thats what i use too

i havnt used dvdshrink myself, what format is the rip in? Try to add it into videora (open it up, click transcode new video, and browse to the rip and select it, then press start on the right) and it will convert it to .mp4 which you can put on the ipod

Sorry for slight kidnap, but I have an original music cd single with the video on it also

I have riped video to itunes and it plays the video in the corner as usual and audio works, however as soon as I try and put it on the ipod, it loses the audio?

Any ideas?

what are the alternatives to videora? SURELY there are better more slick ways of doing this?

videora just plays me up, either it doesn't encode or the output judders or this or that...

cant i have summat where i just click go and it turns it iPod compatable?

unfortunatly we cant help you, the most you will get out of us is "illigal" i think.
However tbh its utter BS, everyone who owns an ipod or mp3/4 player is breaking the law :rolleyes:

your going to have to google your problems mate, but then again its illigal to type a copyrighted name on a keyboard.

Am I missing something - to put a shop bought cd single or album onto an ipod is legal , but putting a video version of the same single from the same cd is illegal?

Neoni · 25 Jan 2006 at 11:47

no your not suppose to rip, or copy mp3s or videos.....fullstop.

FrankJH · 25 Jan 2006 at 21:49

sorry the law HAS been changed, you cannot sell the copies ( or otherwise make profit from playing them) but you CAN listen to them ona home made tape or mp3 player

and just for the record - sony especially wouldnt sell mp3 players with one part of the company while the other side (Sony BMG)saying primary use of these devices are illegal!!!

Iw ould say Videora is the best out tere that IU have tried tbh, I had to download videora, then another file so it would transcode I think, can't quite remeber what the file was tho :O I think you click one of the pics on te main page of videora

ok well when (initailly) i didn't get a response out of you guys becuase of legal reasons i had a look around myself and stumbled across ImTOO iPod Movie Converter... way more refined than Videora i think but maybe less powerful due to the lack of custom scripting... but i couldn't care less about that anyway...

its encoded everything ive asked it too with no hiccups at all, and they all trasfer to the iPod no probs...
