Videora iPod Converter - Videora iPod Converter is a free iPod video converter that converts video files, YouTube videos, movies and DVD's so you can play them on your iPod. The software, developed by the creators of Videora, can convert all types of video files (avi, divx, xvid, flv, x264, vob, mpeg, DVD's, YouTube, etc.) into the proper video formats (MPEG-4, H.264) that play on the iPod.



Converting DVD movies through Videora iPod Converter is a straight forward process. It requires the use of two seperate programs. A DVD ripper prorgam to decrypt your DVD and turn in into one big file and our iPod video converter to convert this big video file into the iPod playable video format. The steps to do this are provided below. To view a larger version of any of the screenshots, simply click on the screenshot desired.

Remember do not copy DVDs that you do not own! It is illegal to make a copy of a movie for use on your device if you do not own the original.

The legality of DVD ripping will vary based on your country of residence. Red Kawa Inc. does not in any way endorse violation of the valid rights of copyright holders, and strongly recommends that you consult your country's copyright and fair use laws before copying any video content.

Download Required Software - You should already have a copy of our iPod video converter. If you do not, simply Download Videora iPod Converter now. Next you will need a copy of DVD Decrypter, a popular DVD ripper prorgam.

Step 1. Place the DVD you want to rip your video from into your DVD drive.

Step 2. Launch the DVD Decrypter software.

Step 3. Go to the Mode menu and select IFO I mode. This will give you access to two new tabs; Input & Stream Processing.



Step 4. Go to the Tools menu, select Settings, go to the IFO tab, then under Options, change File Splitting to None and press OK.





Step 5. Go to the main screen and click the Stream Processing tab. Enable it and only select the first video listed. Note that home encoded movies do not support subtitles of any kind and that your file can only have one type of audio.





Step 6. Before you begin ripping your video, note the destination of the video file. This is where your raw DVD rip is going to go and it will be rather large in size. If you want to change the directory that DVD Decrypter will output to, click on the Browse button and navigate to the folder you want and press OK.



Now that you know where the movie file is going, click on the Decrypt button to start decrypting the DVD to your hard drive.

Once it is done, close DVD Decrypter. Expect a 4 GB to 6 GB movie to take about 12 to 18 minutes.

Step 7. Convert the file that you ripped using DVD Decrypter like you would any other video file in our video iPod converter.
