i used the dvd decryptor and it worked fine, first time i used the Videora, the download wouldnt stop even when it said 100% so i just reinstalled it and it had no problem, now whenever i try to put my converted videos on iTunes it won't show up when i use the add file to library method or the drag and drop. It didnt work even the first time i had Videora.
I also have a second generation iPod Touch if that helps at all.

I had the same problem with many DVD's I converted. I tried everything, drag and drop, re-installing Videora, re-decrypting, etc. In Windows Explorer, files that have not yet been converted to iTunes, have an icon beside them that looks like Quick Time, files that have been and/or are already iTunes files have the iTunes icon beside them. Out of frustration, I double clicked a file I had converted with Videora thinking maybe, like other video files, if I tried to open the file, the appropriate program file would open as well. What happened, is iTunes opened, opened up the video screen, and began playing the file and after that, the file was in the library.

I have no idea what happened or why. I am not a computer expert and had to read a lot of computer blogs to figure out how to decrypt my DVD's and then convert those files. I read a lot of articles before deciding to use DVD Decrypter and Videora and although I've had some problems, I think they have been my lack of knowledge for the most part because I have an external hard drive with tons of DVD files, TV shows I've purchased from iTunes, and podcasts that I want to keep, and just sync into my iPod what I want and every time I have trouble getting the file into my iTunes library, I just go into Explorer, double click the file, and somehow, that seems to do it. the new version of Videora doesn't seem to have that problem though so you might try making sure you have the new version.
