[HOW TO] rip DVD's to iPod

[UpQuark77]

You can try HandBrake... that might do the trick although it is no speed demon.

iSquint is another iPod convertor (not direct off DVD though), don't have an iPod to tell you how well it works, but they do play well in iTunes

I downloaded quicktime pro but haven't used it for the iPod i have use Handbrake it works great haven't had any problems (there are some setting you have to know you can look them up online or i believe they have Handbrake lite which is all set for iPod videos)
good luck

Flanjoo:

I had that problem as well. I fixed it when I changed the framerate to 24fps; then it worked just fine.

However (and maybe this is just me), I used this method to rip some music videos from DVD (one I owned!) and the process worked fine; everything imported to my iPod, but every 20 seconds or so there's a slight hiccup in audio. It's annoying enough where I'm not going to rip any more videos until I figure this out.

Anyone have any ideas?

Is there a hiccup in the _video_ at the same frame also? If not, maybe you have to look at those 24fps again... What was the framerate _before_ you changed it? What are you using to rip? (handbrake?)

[JflipB]

Yes (using Handbrake), the hiccup occurred at the default frame rate as well (I don't know what that is offhand). 24fps fixed the import problem as stated above, but the hiccup was always present after I changed several of the variables after initially using the default: H.264 vs. MPEG-4, frame rates, even played with the audio. Other interesting things happened, but never could fix the hiccup.

Would hardware be an issue? Mac Mini 512MB RAM, superdrive.
