Ipod 5G and making it play DVD's.

Darkies Gem · 09-06-2006, 13:05

I just got a very sleak and funky black Ipod 5G 30GB. It says it plays videos and stuff, but I'm having trouble getting DVD's into a suitable file to transfer over to my Ipod.
I googled it, and found loads of sights, but a lot of them weren't all that helpful. I found one that said to use nero to copy the DVD to your computer (I think) But Nero won't do it

Any ideas?

i use an ImTOO product to do similair things but not to iPod.
They have an iPod product http://www.imtoo.com/dvd-to-ipod-converter.html
Not free but might do the job for you.

If you have the full version of Nero, the latest version of Nero Recode will do it. Obviously you need something to decrypt the DVD first.

Handbrake for Mac & Linux, with Windows on its way...

Cheers for the suggestions guys

I have managed to do it with a couple of programs. One that's a decrypter, and one that turns the files into MPEG4's. It takes it's time doing it. But I've managed to get the main title screen on from Donnie Darko, and the quality is excellant! Just need to download a codec pack now for the rest of the files. But it seems easy enough to do, with there recomendations

I seriously couldn't be more impressed with my Ipod.
