Ipod Video Converter Software Reviews

Apple has done its best to make Video-iPod-compatible video content available for purchase and download through its online store, and a number of other companies and vendors have adopted the format. But most users already have material that they'd like to watch on their new video ipod - files such as iMovies, DVDs that they own, TV shows that have been recorded with a Mac-based digital video recorder (DVR), etc. Can these be played back on the new video iPod? The answer is: OF COURSE THEY CAN! converting them is easy.

Below is the low-down on the top software programs that allow you to rip DVDs to your iPod.

Now, you can bring your favorite movies along with you and watch them through iPod whenever, wherever.

It’s an excellent program for beginners. You don’t need to have any media know-how to get this thing started.

The program will automatically load the disc, allowing you to select the file format to play on your iPod.

And the software can support almost all types of media files out there, such as, AVI, DivX, Xvid, MP43, MPEG1, MPEG2, .asf, .wmv, .mov, .rm, .rmvb, Video DVD disc, .VOB, .IFO, VCD, and SVCD. In addition, for people who are looking to do more with their movies, the Converter Suite supports various iPod video sizes including H.264 video (up to 768 kbps, 320 x 240, 30 frames per sec, Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC up to 160 kbps, 48 khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats), MPEG-4 video (up to 2.5 mbps, 480 x 480, 30 frames per sec, Simple Profile with AAC-LC up to 160 kbps, 48 khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats).
