Re: [ARSCLIST] DVD video to iPod



Sorry, I just looked a little further and found "cucsoft" as a separate entity.

I just Googled it, and I think it's "cucuSoft", right?

I have PC software that does this easily, even with 'protected' DVD's,
but they even say in the literature that to get around being sued over
it, they had to make it into two separate programs. It is a Cucsoft
product. It has worked perfectly for me. I know that you are running a
MAC, so I know that doesn't help you, but might be of interest to the
list....

Hi Rod:

This is a good Plan B for sure. But I already recorded the video to a
DVD, so I just want to "rip" the DVD onto my hard drive and then convert to iPod video with
Quicktime.


Just out of curiosity -- why aren't there a gizillion pieces of software
to do this? Is it all because of Hollywood user-hostile copy
restrictions? Are those restrictions placed on a DVD I record in my JVC
machine? If so, is there a way I can turn them off? Sorry, showing
glaring ignorance about the DVD format. I usually work in audio only.

Hi All:

Is there any relatively easy way to get DVD video onto my iPod? This


isn't even a Hollywood

movie, it's a dub of a U-Matic tape that I made myself. I Googled and


found lots of text-line

kind of stuff (ie made for people far more expert in computers than


I). I have the full version

of Quicktime, so as long as I can get the DVD video and audio to a


format that Quicktime can

handle, I can save it to iPod format in Quicktime.

This is the unit I suggested to my brother-in-law, and he has found it


works well to input

video/audio into his desktop. It will do frame captures as well.


I'm probably going buy one in

the near future, too, since I've got some BetaMax, S-VHS and 3/4" that


I want to make into DVDs.

I don't know enough about the input capability of an iPod, but this


unit has a USB output and

generates MPEG4 which is the highest video resolution currently


available unless you want HighDef.

It has both standard composite (RCA) and S-Video inputs, and the


latter gives the best video

quality when you're feeding from a deck that has that kind of output.


It has multiple uses for

the future, since the USB connection allows you to input audio as well


as video into any kind of

computer. Also, the accompanying software may give you more options


to create a more

professional end product.
