Ripping DVD Movies to iPod Video

There is no *GREAT* way to do it. But I HIGHLY recommend you use three programs.

DVD FabDecrypter - For ripping the DVD to your hard drive.

DGIndex - This program you will use to make an info file about the DVD *.VOB files you select. This info (.d2v) file can be read by MeGUI (with its AviSynth Script Creator). AviSynth (also needs to be installed on your system, though you won't "use" it).

MeGUI - This is the program that makes the MP4 file that your iPod can read. It has a x264 preset for iPod output. You will need to allow MeGUI to update itself so that you have all the stuff you need.

This has to be the easiest, most efficient, and highquality way to do what you want. You will probably have to scour the forums at http://forum.doom9.org for more specifics, however, I can help you with some. I have made iPod compatible clips this way -> here <- and you can try to upload it to your Pod to verify.

Anyway, PM me or post here with questions ASSUMING you use the above programs and try to jump right in and figure it out. I'm not gonna babystep you the whole way .

Just found this << http://www.project357.com/MeGUIwiki/...nversion_Guide >> It's a good place to famliarize yourself. They recommend using DVDDecrypter which is great. But it does have problems with decrypting some newer DVD's which is why I recommend DVDFab Decrypter and using DGIndex. I'd rather learn one way that works with everything, different ways that work some of the time.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
