Re: [Apple iPod] Transfering movies from a DVD to my iPod

Hi All!

Thanks for the responses!

To settle the dispute what type of file does Handbrake produce?
MP4? If so, that is a fast import into Itunes (less than 5 seconds
for me on Windows Vista). The transfer to my 30 gb iPod takes a lot
longer (20-40 seconds), but that hardly puts my hair in knots.

I've seen elsewhere on another ipod forum that people like another
program, but it's name escapes me. It starts with a V??? I'll post
it when I get home. Someone explained a complicated way to overcome
the new copy protection blocks, if audio-video are not lined up.
