DVD movies to IPOD Transfer Software Needed

[cjwct]

Greetings All,

I need a no frills, hassle free, easy to use software program which will allow an older couple (mid 60's) to pop a DVD into their computer, open some type of software and transfer it into their video IPOD without many complications. I do not mind buying it for them and would prefer not to be directed to Free or Trial Software.

Thank you!

Craig

That's what I use too. It's built on top of ffmpeg and probably AviSynth too. I'm not sure that it will meet your ease of use requirements, but it's pretty darn easy to use. It even adds the resulting video to your iTunes library at the end.

Videora requires a second software program to do the decrypting of the dvd first that's called dvd decrypter. If your going to use them then be sure to follow the instructions the videora gives for setting up the other program and pay close attention to the included pics regarding the language options. Basically you should only select english and only one english at that and no subtitles.

I have used imtoo.com dvdtoipod converter for mine. It rips the DVDs and makes an MPEG-4 that works with ipods.

I use Cucusoft's ipod converter, but it isn't free. It does a good job.

DVD Catalyst (free version).

Insert DVD, select device (for screen size), select main movie, click Start. No other software or processes necessary.

Thanks everyone . . . I went with PQDVD; the only problem now is that DVD's have that copyright protection; any suggestions?

You probably won't find too many commercial (or free) apps that will do this all in one step due to the DMCA ([ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Millennium_Copyright_Act"]Digital Millennium Copyright Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia@@AMEPARAM@@/wiki/File:US-GreatSeal-Obverse.svg" class="image"><img alt="Great Seal of the United States." src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/be/US-GreatSeal-Obverse.svg/140px-US-GreatSeal-Obverse.svg.png"@@AMEPARAM@@commons/thumb/b/be/US-GreatSeal-Obverse.svg/140px-US-GreatSeal-Obverse.svg.png[/ame]) making it unlawful to posses, sell, or make available any software that can circumvent any type of Digital Rights Management (in the US). The encryption on DVDs is considered a form of DRM and therefore it is unlawful to circumvent it in any form, even if that circumvention results in a "Fair Use" copy of that DVD (for example transfering a DVD that you own to another format for portable viewing). Stupid law that really limits a lot of ways that we could use technology today. The US Government is the best government corporate money can buy!!

VLC will do it. It's free. It's easy. It's versatile.

I've never run into any copyright problems with DVD Catalyst. It's made a copy of every DVD I've run through the program.

AnyDVD plus CloneDVD mobile... best combo out there (also does bluray)

DVD TO iPod converter will convert the DVD files to iPod and you can edit with it... then use Nero 7 or ULeads Movie Factory 6 ... all should have free preview periods...

There is also a rumor circulating now that iTunes 9.0 might rip DVDs for you. The speculation of course is how Apple keeps the studios happy doing it.
