Im looking for a little help please, im trying to convert dvd to ipod or even divx but dont seem to be getting it right and sometimes im only getting part movie, i have been trying this on the star wars movie hoping to get all on my ipod but no matter what i try im picking the wrong settings somewhere:confused: Ive got nero 7 ultra edition and an allok converter which converts to ipod and zen format also running vista home premium and its just getting it to that stage i cant seem to do:o

Im looking to buy the full prison break series for my holiday viewing is there anyhere legally i can download it from as ive downloaded mp3s (amazon) just wasnt sure if possible for films and i am looking to pay not use the torrent way.

    I would recommend Handbreak to convert DVD to DivX. This can be found at (handbreak dot fr)

    I cant post links :D


    Or alternativley, if you want to convert movies to .mp4 formatt for iPhone then something like virtualdub might be a good idea. Although it does need the codecs on your system to be able to do it, maybe a bit advanced I'm not sure.

    (virtualdub dot org)


    Alternativley I would finally try using "DVDFlick" if you google it I'm sure you can get the website to download it!

    Both good bits of software for doing what you want I believe!

    Perhaps check out DVDDecrypter
    and then
    Super© - "does for FREE what other encoders CAN'T do for money"

    Can't post links either!

    Happy Days

    It's Handbrake.

    DVD Flick provides exactly the opposite function to what the OP needs.

    Even with Handbrake, unless you're using MacOS, you still need something to deal with CSS. It's a thorny issue at best: see what happened to RealDVD.
