DVD to iPod Ripper??

[JRCampy]

Sorry for the completely random topic...

I received an iPod Touch from my wonderful fiancee for Christmas and am interested in copying DVD's from my personal collection to it. I have been unable to locate a suitable freeware application to do this. I've been trying to use Xilisoft DVD Ripper Platnium 4, but have been having major video to sound syncing issues. Does anybody out there know of a free program that would be able to do this for me?? Thanks in advance!!

I don't know any freeware but CloneDVD Mobile from Slysoft is a really good, cheap solution.

I haven't used this yet, but a friend swears by it:

The best thing out there by far is Handbrake. It's available for OS X, Windows, and Linux. It has really handy presets built in for the iPhone (among others), which is what you need for iPod touch videos. Download, install, hit the "iPhone" setting, and let it work. Don't mess with any other software; this is the best you can get for what you need to do, and it's free.

Not free, but well worth the price...Magic DVD Ripper. Has default profiles for everything and great customization settings.

Windows media player will work. Rip it to your PC and then sync it to the Ipod.

I asked the same question a while ago on this site....and was recommended Magic DVD Ripper, and have been using it since. It also has a nice free trial.

I the best way is to get DVD Decrypter and use videora.

Videora iPod Converter - Free iPod Video Converter

I do basically the same thing except with a psp and it is flawless.

DVDFab Decrypter - Platinum

Free for 30 days and its money. When they update to a new version its free for another 30 days then too.

I have the touch as well. These instructions are very easy and include links for free downloads of the two software packages you will need.

How to convert DVD movies for the iPod or iPhone in Windows

It takes a roughly an hour and a half to rip, convert, and load each movie. It took me a couple of tries, but once I became familiar with the process it has worked every time. I am far from a tech geek, so if I can do it, anybody can.

I'll second Videora.

I'll third it, pretty fast, always gives me a good output, and free.
