| [HOW TO] rip DVD's to iPod I do not have an iPod, I have a Pocket PC with 640x480 resolution, a 16MB video processor and it plays video pretty good. HOWEVER, I stumbled upon this little tutorial that might be good for some of you guys, it's purely Mac OS X based. Here's the link: http://diveintomark.org/howto/ipod-dvd-ripping-guide/  |

| Now we just need an AppleScript to automate this so you can let the entire thing run overnight. Although for us US noobs I guess the government doesn't want us copying our own DVDs for our own use.  |

| Thanks for the link. That's definitely the easiest way to go. This verifies that there is no "black art" in making iPod-compatible movies. It plays standard mp4 files, the same kind programs like QuickTime, ffmpegX and HandBrake have been encoding for years. You just need to encode it at a proper resolution and bitrate. Good to know.

| Yeah I'm glad I found the link and I'm sure iPod users could get some use out of it. I'm perfectly happy with my Pocket PC, the videos turn out beautiful on it, but too bad I don't have a 60GB Hard Drive though. So, crcr2003, anata wa nihon-jin desu ka? |

| kainjow: What do you need AppleScript for? Just use handbreak, it works in quite a "one stop" way. You just set it up and let it run.

| I ripped two DVDs with Handbrake, it seemed to work fine (played fine on my mac, good quality). The first one I was able to put on my 5th Gen iPod and play quite happily. The second one, however, doesn't let me put it on the iPod at all. It says, "Some of the videos in your iTunes library, including the video "Desperado", were not copied to the iPod 'Dack's iPod' because they cannot be played on this iPod." Now, both the videos are .mp4 format. Both were ripped with Handbrake. So why doesn't one work?
