I have tried dvdfab 5 & Videora to convert my movies into mpeg4 format to be able to put on my new ipod 80gb, but I dont like how it takes like 6 hours to convert just a hour & half movie. What I dont understand is if I go disk to disk it only take like 30 mins, but I just tried doing harold & kumar 2, first ripped to my comp then thru dvdfab 5 on mobile/ipod (also tried straight from the disk thru mobile/ipod) and it saying gonna take 2 hours at least. is there a best fast setting i should have it on like what should the fixed bitrate or the frameresolution be? I know its only going to an Ipod 80gb so i know it doesnt have to be a super high resolution. my comp is actually pretty old, not even dual core, but dont see why I can burn fast but not convert fast. amd athlon 1600+ 1.41ghz 512mb ram win xp sp2 Can anyone suggest a faster or better program to use, preferably free. Why cant I use anydvd & clonedvd like I do to make the movies? Thanks for your time, have a good one.

It's likely your PC. My 2 year old 1.8ghz Core 2 Duo setup doesn't take that long to convert with DVDFab Platinum. To get NTSC quality Xvids it takes about as long as the runtime of the movie. For an iPod, significantly less, especially if you only do 1 pass.

I just did Doomsday (already ripped and shrunk) and put the settings for audio: 128kbs; dimensions: 720x340; a nearly 2 hour movie took me just over 1 hour. If you reduce the settings, especially dimensions, it will take considerably less time to do. It just takes time.

are you using dvdfab to rip to your comp? and then using dvdshrink to make it smaller, then run it back thru dvdfabs mobile/Ipod option to put on itunes? I know you put the resolution down because its such a small screen doesn't need to be that high, but what about the fixed bitrate, what should that be set @?

I had used my usual process of dvdfab> fixvts> dvd shrink before I ran it thru the 'mobile' option. I left the fixed bitrate alone. Movie came out to 1.19GB. You can adjust the settings (even the file size) to make the file smaller. You can experiment with it to find out what suits you.

thats what I'm trying to figure out, need some help because never had to change the setting or anything. And right now I've only been running it thru dvdfab which is taking hours, not doing all the other things like you are. When the movie is finally converted its fine, but soooooooo looooong to do. I usually just go disk to disk, now I finally got a big enough ipod instead of a lil 2g one and having a real hard annoying time with the length of time it takes. I even tried it on my roommates comp which is newer and faster then mine, but still took almost 2 hours to do Family Guy Blue Harvest, which the main movie is only 45 mins long. I dont get it, it seems that its taking 2 1/2 times longer then the actual film is everytime, when I burn from disk 2 disk, it only takes 20-30 mins. Please someone help me out here. I see videos on youtube of people only taking a few mintues to do it, its just driving me nuts

Are you multi tasking while using dvdfab, as that will slow it down.
You just have to figure out what works best for you. Even if you have to make the resolution smaller, remember it's shrinking it from a much larger file to fit your dimensions.
