converting from a DVD

[^Tommi^]

can it be possible to convert movies from a DVD disk??
i tryed it put the when i open the movie file i see first two differend folders. for VIDEO and AUDIO..
if i open the Video folder, i see loads or differend video clips.. how can i convert the whole movie from the DVD so both folders( aduio and video) will be converted and i can watch the movie from my iPod video 30GB easily and i think the video clips are VOB files...

oh.. but i looked at the audio folder, and it seemed to be empty.. but anyways.. can somebody help me???

You have to use a separate utility called a ripper to copy the DVD to your hard drive... removing CSS encryption and other little uglies lurking out there...hopefully in one chunk instead of 4 or 7... so it can be encoded into a single movie.

Do a web search for DVD Decrypter.

can u give me a link where i can download one..?
i tryed to google it, but i found loads of em, but didnt know wich is the right one.. :D

[Midiman]

The right one would be the one titled "DVD Decrypter".

[^Tommi^]

i didnt foud a match for DVD decrypter, but i downloaded a software called DVD shrink..
is that a right program.. i tryed to make the movie a image file, so i could use it at the DVD shrink.. should the movie be then one big file??
oh powerISo couldnt somehow make the movie an image file.. it gave me some error.. :(
if DVD shrink isnt a right program for it.. can u give me a link for the right DVD decrypter.. thanks..

I`ve just downloaded dvd decryptor and tried to decrypt a music dvd. but it had two layers and in the instructions they said that if it said one layer you could start rip but it didn´t say what to do if the dvd got two layers. sholud I just rip the dvd or is it impossible if the dvd got two layers? (i suck at computers and stuff)

[^Tommi^]

can u give me a link to the DVD decrypter u downloaded.. thanks..

Single layer, dual layer... doesn't make any difference.

You don't want an ISO file. You want to end up with a VOB file.

[^Tommi^]

ive downloaded 2 differend DVD decrypters.. DVD shrink and DVD decrypter.. but still i dont know how to get all the vob video files from the dvd to a one big movie, and convert the one big movie to my iPod.. I have PowerISO, DVD shrink, DVD Decrypter and videora iPod converter downloaded to get the movies on to my ipod but how?? i suck at computers.. :( :mad: :confused:

[Midiman]

http://www.videora.com/en-us/Converter/guides.html#1000

DVD Shrink is not a decrypter... and anything called ISOanything, will not help you.

[^Tommi^]

now i read the instructions but when i get to the spot where i have to quit DVD encrypter and open videora and thenpress the Transcode New Video button..
i dont have that button! infact, the videora iPod converter looks soo much different at the picture than mine is..

[Sketch]

That's because the guide uses an older version. The button you want is "Convert Video" on the Current Conversion tab.

[^Tommi^]

oh okay.. now i think it works.. btw. some of the videos i convert, goes to itunes library and into my ipod, but the video quality is veryvery bad.. big squares everywhere.. how to fix it?

[Sketch]

Do they look back in iTunes/Quicktime as well? If so, the easiest way to improve it is increase the bitrate in your profile.

[^Tommi^]

yes, it looks as the same onto my ipod and itunes..

[^Tommi^]

btw..
is there any way to have the movies at my ipod, but not on my computer,, it works ass long as i dont put my iPod connected, but if i connect the ipod oonto my computer, and the movie file whats on my ipod but not in my computer, will be removed out from my ipod??
how could i put it so that movies stay at my ipod whitout keeping the big 6gb movie files in my computer, coz the movies slows my computer down!!!! :(

If you delete the file on your computer, it will NOT automatically delete it from your iPod. However, when you are in iTunes and select that file, you will get an ! next to it. Just don't delete it from iTunes and it won't delete it from your iPod.
