Since Apple released its iPod 60 Gigabyte, I have been wanting one for so long. Apple states that no commerical DVD will be able to be converted to the iPod. I have done this successfully and very easy. I will this the proper things needed in order to do this successfully below.
Programs needed (must be registered leaglly in order to do so) Slysoft Anydvd Slsysoft Clonedvd Mobile Quicktime 7.0 iTunes latest build Hardware Excellent computer meaning AMD 2800+ or above and fast harddrives DVD reader that is unlocked (no region, no limit firmware cracked) iPod and original cables This next part comes directly from Slysoft. Very handy never mind the first picture, since it it is very old and new mobile devices have surfaced. CloneDVD mobile - Apple iPod Video The User Interface is very simple and you will notice that CloneDVD mobile does not have any menus. It is a Filmstrip that takes you through all the settings step by step, until the copying process can start. All the settings you need to adjust are in the Filmstrip! You cannot overlook anything! If you have not selected any necessary information, you cannot reach the next screen of the Filmstrip. The “Next” button will remain inactivated until you select all of the required information. [img]file:///C:/Program%20Files/SlySoft/CloneDVDmobile/manual/shared/mouse.gif[/img] HINT: Use the right mouse button! Apart from the context sensitive help, some additional functions can only be selected via the right mouse button. The symbol on the left will call your attention to right mouse button context menus in this manual. Start Please make sure that you have everything needed for copying:
[img]file:///C:/Program%20Files/SlySoft/CloneDVDmobile/manual/shared/shots/start.gif[/img] First you are asked to what format you want to convert your movie. Choose the format you want to continue. Severeal other information can be found in the start screen.
HINT: You should visit our website to download existing updates. To do so, click the Slysoft logo in the bottom left corner which takes you automatically to your internet browser. Title Configuration Put the original DVD in your DVD-reader, or DVD-writer. Now choose the drive where the DVD is in. You'll reach the explorer for browsing to the DVD drive by a click onto the small button with the orange arrows. Select the Video_TS folder.The data will be loaded. NOTE: You will see an error message if your DVD is CSS-encoded and CloneDVD mobile cannot load your DVD, (please refer to the information under “What you should know”). [img]file:///C:/Program%20Files/SlySoft/CloneDVDmobile/manual/shared/shots/title.gif[/img] On the right hand side you will see the title selection and on the left hand side either the movie preview (which is started by default) or an overview about the available data.
Audio Settings Most movies offer different audio streams. In this window, the available audio streams are shown. Select the language you want to have in your movie. [img]file:///C:/Program%20Files/SlySoft/CloneDVDmobile/manual/shared/shots/audio.gif[/img] A click onto "next" will lead you to the next window. Output Method On the lefthand side, you will find a summary of your selected title and properties. On the right-hand side, adjust the output file settings. [img]file:///C:/Program%20Files/SlySoft/CloneDVDmobile/manual/shared/shots/output_ipod.gif[/img] Movies cannot be written directly on your iPod. You need iTunes to transfer them there.
Click onto "Go!" to reach the last chapter of the filmstrip. Transcoding the movie On the left hand side you can either see snapshots of the movie during the transcoding process, a final summary of the selected settings, or log window which shows the processing tasks. [img]file:///C:/Program%20Files/SlySoft/CloneDVDmobile/manual/shared/shots/process.gif[/img] The following tabs are available:
Transferring the files from your harddisk to the iPod To transfer the video files to your iPod, you'll have to use iTunes. Please refer to the manual of your iPod for more detailed information. Yeah Right what manual. Now here comes the tricky part. Which I found on apple's site. But I want to show what is said on their site regarding dvd's. Straight from Apples site Can I transfer my DVDs into iTunes and sync to my iPod? iTunes and QuickTime Pro do not support importing content from DVD videos. YES YOU CAN IDIOTS after reencoding them to m4v. ![]() ![]() With QuickTime 7 Pro, you can create your own videos that will play on the new iPod. Already have great home movies you want to play on your iPod? No problem. QuickTime 7 Pro helps you easily convert them to a format that iPod understands.* Just follow these easy instructions and you'll be watching your own video on your iPod in no time. Step 1 Make sure you have updated your QuickTime software to version 7.0.3 or later. If you don't have QuickTime 7.0.3 installed, [color=#0000ff]get it now[/color]. Step 2 Open QuickTime 7 Pro. If you don't have it, get [color=#0000ff]QuickTime 7 Pro[/color] today. Step 3Choose "Open File..." from the File menu. Select the movie you'd like to play on your iPod, then click the Open button. If you haven't yet recorded your movie, see our tutorial on [color=#0000ff]Creating Movies[/color] (Mac only). Step 4Choose "Export..." from the File menu. Step 5Choose "Movie to iPod (320x240)" from the export drop down list and click the Save button. The Export progress bar shows you how much of the export process is completed. The longer your movie and the larger its frame size, the longer the export will take. Once the export is complete, QuickTime Pro will place on your Desktop a new version of your movie that will play on the iPod. Double-click the new file and play it to make sure it looks as you expect. Step 6 To get the movie onto your iPod, launch iTunes 6. If you do not have it, [color=#800080]download iTunes 6 now[/color]. Step 7 Drag your new movie file into your iTunes library in the folder or playlist of your choosing. Step 8 Attach your iPod to your computer and synch the iPod with iTunes. For detailed synching instructions, see the [color=#0000ff]iPod tutorial[/color]. To play the movie on your iPod, select "Videos" then "Movies" from the iPod Main Menu. Movies will be listed here alphabetically. Click on the desired movie to play. * By following the steps in this tutorial, QuickTime 7 Pro will automatically create an .m4v file containing H.264 video and AAC audio that is optimized for iPod. iPod can play the following video formats:
I hope everyone enjoys this who have a iPod. I broke down due to iPod Killer from microsoft has not been released because it is still in the beta testing (Heck it might get a virus). Enjoy pete

BTW, Pete, I don't mean to rain on your parade as it's a nice tutorial, however, have you tried Handbrake? It's a freeware program, and runs under Mac OS X, and there is a Linux version too (the Windows version is in the experimental stage at the moment). THIS tutorial will take you through using Handbrake. Great thing is that it's just one program. You will still need to use iTunes to transfer the file over to the iPod though.
