Re: [ARSCLIST] DVD video to iPod
Frankly I have wondered about that. Why would anyone want to watch a movie
on a DVD? They are often too large in scope to even enjoy on a TV screen.

I have used software/instructions found at
video-2-ipod.com
It costs $34.95 and works fine on a PC, although it takes a while. Part
of
it is a decrypter and part of it is a transcoder (freeware called Videora)
that converts the decrypted file to a file that the iPod reads. I think
the
sticking point is the decryption, which would seem not legal. I also had
problems with the sound. The version of Quicktime/iTunes that came with
the
iPod was fine, but I downloaded a new version of Quicktime/iTunes and
during
playback from the iPod, the audio portion of the movies stopped after
about
20 seconds, although the video continued. Re-loading the Quicktime/iTunes
that came with the iPod restored the audio. Quicktime strikes again. I
only converted a few dvd's, because it is devilish hard to view a movie on
the iPod screen.
