4 Simple Steps to Convert Your DVD to Play On Your iPod

For this “how to” we used the Joboshare Ripper Bundle Platinum converter, our absolute favorite DVD converter due to its speed, the simplicity of the interface, the quality of the output file, and its ability to convert DVDs to any device. That said, there are many DVD converter options available - here’s a list of our highest recommended iPod DVD & Video Converters - so whichever one you choose, you should be able to achieve similar results following these steps.

Step 1 : Install the DVD Conversion Program

• Download the Joboshare Ripper Bundle Platinum converter
• Install it to your system
• Mac Users : check out our list of Mac-friendly iPod Converters

Step 2 : Run the DVD Conversion Program

• Put the DVD into your computer
• The Joboshare Ripper Bundle Platinum comes with 2 programs: a DVD ripper and a video converter. Run the “Joboshare DVD Ripper Platinum” program via the desktop icon or the Windows “Start Menu”.
• You’ll find a simple-to-use interface where you can browse for your DVD - select “Add DVD Folder” from the File menu or just click the “Open DVD” icon on the far left of the row of icons and select your DVD.
• Class : The “Class” pull-down menu is used to select your device. For the greatest amount of choices, select “All Profiles”.
• Profile : Choose your iPod setting in the “Profile” pull-down menu. For example: if you have the latest iPod Touch, select the “iPod Touch MPEG-4 (.mp4)” setting. This will automatically give you a great-looking video and take the least amount of conversion time. You can also see the details of your chosen setting at the left-hand side: video size, bit rate, frame rate, sample rate, quality, etc. BTW - there is a very extensive list of devices and formats to choose from in the “Profile” menu.
• Destination : “Destination” is used to select where you want your final video conversion to be placed on your computer. Hit the “Browse” button, choose where you want your final video conversion to be, then hit “OK”.
• Title : The “Title” box near the top-right allows you to rename - title - your final video conversion.
• Start Ripping : When you’re ready, hit the big red “Start Ripping” button on the right and go get a snack. A 90 minute DVD takes about 30 minutes to convert.

Step 3 : Transfer the Converted DVD Video to Your iPod

• Hook up your iPod to your computer
• Choose where you want your new DVD video to go - on your iPod
• Drag and drop your new DVD video onto your iPod

Step 4 : Play the Converted DVD Video On Your iPod

• Show it to your friends and enjoy!
• “Rinse & Repeat” to convert and transfer more DVDs to your iPod
