While most of your video iPod conversions can be handled easily by the freeware program Handbrake, there are times when it is not able to get the job done. In the never-ending battle against piracy, some DVD producers are employing copy protection and the Handbrake program cannot scan the disk.

For these video iPod conversions, the solution is to download the ‘Mac the Ripper’ program. Once you get the program, take a peek at the preferences and settings. Check your hard disk before you start and make sure you have enough free space available for the converted DVD, which can use about 10GB of space. Once the conversion is finished, you will be able to delete this folder.

The video iPod has every DVD owner drooling at the thought of having their favorites in the palm of their hand. What they are not so happy about is the hours of conversion time it will take to make this happen. With a full charge, the 30GB video iPod gives only two hours of playback, while the 60GB gives three.

The good thing is that now converting your DVDs can be done in one easy step with the Handbrake program (freeware) that can make DVD compatible with your video iPod. You no longer have to save your DVD to your hard drive and convert the file to video format.

How to Convert your Videos

To start your video iPod conversion, download the Handbrake program, once it is installed, insert your DVD and launch it. Your DVD will be detected as ‘/dev/rdisk#’. Select this file and the click ‘Open’.
