 If
you want to copy a DVD to your iPod, you
will need special software, which will perform the conversion for you.
Most such programs perform the conversion in two steps –
first they download the DVD to your computer and then they upload it to
your iPod via iTunes. Alternatively, you can buy a DVD to iPod
conversion utility and thus make your life a bit easier. When you are
looking for a one-step converter, the most important things to bear in
mind are the conversion speed and the quality of the video and audio.
If you are a newbie, you may also want to get a converter, which is
easier to use, so in this case the one-step converter might not be your
best choice because it is more complicated than the two-step
converters.

instructions. But the fact that there are many programs to choose from
is hardly comforting when you have no idea about the criteria for
choosing such a program.
Probably the first thing you should do is make a list of your
requirements. After that, use Google to find a couple of high-quality
programs, which can copy an entire DVD to Zune. If you are lucky, you
will quickly find sites with comparisons of the various converter
programs. Such comparisons are very useful because they compare several
programs feature by feature and you can quickly see which program is
best for you.
If you are new to computers, the one-step converters from DVD to iPod
are not the best thing to start with. These one-step converters usually
have a lot of files and folders, which is pretty confusing even for
more experienced users. This is a good reason to start with an easier
converter, so that you can convert your DVD movies without worries.
Also, iTunes must be already on your computer because this way you will
transfer the DVD to the iPod with less effort. After you have
downloaded the DVD, add them to your library and choose which items you
want to transfer.
Depending on the program you have chosen, there could be some extras,
such as drag and drop of subtitles or audio track selection. Some of
the programs for DVD to iPod conversion are really easy to use and the
job can be accomplished with a few clicks only. This way you can easily
transfer your favorite DVD movies to your iPod and have them with you,
no matter where you go. Transferring the movies is not rocket science
and even if you have no technical skills, if you follow the
instructions, you will do it successfully.
There are several video crop modes and sizes, which you can use when
you copy your favorite movies from DVD to your iPod. Most of the
conversion programs offer post-sales support, so if you have
difficulties with the conversion program, you can easily contact them.
