d18set

Have just bought an iPod video only to discover you never extra software to convert DVDs into the required format to download ono the iPod.

Anyone know if any of this software is available free or if not what is the best value?

It's not clearly stated on the HandBrake site, but there's a guide for Windows users too.

There is a lot of software out there, if your looking for free software, Videora iPod Converter, here: http://www.videora.com/en-us/Converter/iPod/ will do the job, but otherwise if your willing to fork out some cash, then I'd recommend you use imtoo DVD to iPod Suite here: http://www.imtoo.com/dvd-to-ipod-suite.html

I use the following:

It's really easy to use, free, and does exactly what it says on the tin!

Hope that helps

Just having a go on this but am slightly confused. How do you know which files to select (there are about 10-12 on each DVD)? Do I need to convert them all separately?

If it is a movie that you are ripping, it will be the one with the longest time length most likely. You should be able to tell by looking at the time length.
