How To Put A DVD On An iPod Correctly

The freedom that the iPod has given us to view and listen to media anywhere at any time is of prime importance in today's incredibly fast and mobile society. However the world of media is not perfectly compatible yet and while CDs can be converted to Mp3s easily enough, how to put DVD on an iPod is not as simple.

The process of converting DVD movies to a format that can be used on an iPod is not installed within itunes of windows media player but must be done through third party software. This software can convert movies to the correct iPod format and will allow you to then copy it to your device for viewing.

To do this the conversion software must read the DVD through your DVD ROM and convert it to MPEG4 format which is what an iPod can read to display video and sound. Poor quality converters lose a lot of detail and sound quality however so you must be careful in which you choose to use as many are sub standard. You must also ensure that you set the resolution to 320 x 240 which is the native iPod or iphone resolution or it will not display correctly on your device.

If you setup your converter to these specifications you will usually end up with a MPEG4 file that is about 500 to 700 megabytes big that you can import to itunes and to your iPod and you can view it straight away!

For those of you worried that putting a DVD on an iPod is illegal this is not the case. As long as you are not distributing the movie by uploading it to the web or by selling it to others this is perfectly legal as you own the master copy of this disc. The companies that sell movies however do not want people doing this because they would rather you pay them more money to download new copies that are iPod friendly so you have to pay them more money. So go ahead and copy your DVDs and enjoy them on your iPod ... it is ok!

So if you want your movies on the go and do not want to fork over even more money to apple for another version you need a great DVD converter.
