hey lethal, ok heres the thing i open Videora, hit convert which brings me to that screen to hit the transcode button which i do, then a window pops up and asks to select a file, it say look in itunes in the box (you where you can choose my documents, etc.) under that where you would select files there is itunes music and previous itunes libraries i click on both and got nothing. then at the bottom it has files of type: media files, i open that and bring it down to all files and got itunes library and itunes music library in addition to the other two. when i click on either of those to open that is when the window closes and which ever one i clicked on out of those two will go into the new transcoding job in the area of title. but i dont get the names of the videos i have. for instance, i have the video of rihanna if its loving that you want, that does not come up or any other video file i have and i did transfer them from limewire to itunes so shouldnt it but in one of those folders???? im not a genious at computers but i can get what i need, but this im just not getting!!!! very frustrating might i add!!!

Don't quote me on this, but I have read somewhere that you should get up to 4.5 hours continuous video

lutkica25 - Nope. you need a dvd burner to be able to even think about converting them for your ipod.
With regards to your renaming problem, I am not sure. Maybe try psp9, which is a similar program and you get to keep the filenames :o)

Don't quote me on this, but I have read somewhere that you should get up to 4.5 hours continuous video minimum
30GB: Up to 14 hours of music playback; up to 3 hours of slideshows with music; up to 2 hours of video playback
60GB: Up to 20 hours of music playback; up to 4 hours of slideshows with music; up to 3 hours of video playback
http://www.apple.com/uk/ipod/specs.html
The 60GB has a better battery life because it has 64MB of RAM instead of the 32MB in the 30GB so it has to access the HD less often.

Hi, I am new to this site and am not too hot on this type of stuff, so please be patient with me? I have a new 60gb video ipod for xmas and have tried the free trial PQ Dvd to convert dvd to mpeg4. I have downloaded the software as suggested and when I insert my dvd into the laptop (sony vaio XP, windows XP business) I open PQDVD and then the open button and nothing happens, it doesnt find the dvd. The dvd I inserted was a DVDRW with a tv programme recorded onto it. Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening? thanks

Hey guys I'm new to the forum. I read around a little but I couldn't find anyone else that had the problem. I just bought the full version of the program. After entering the emailaddress and register code, it gives me a "Please restart program after register" message. I'm not sure what to do but to restart cucusoft. But I get the same problem again. Thanks for the any help!

Lethal_B - I purchased the PQ DVD product and have been having great success with getting DVD's onto my iPod video (60), thank you very much.
One quick question though....a lot of my videos are wide screen. Is there a good way of doing the settings to set these type DVD's up to be full screen on the iPod Video??
I've tried setting the aspect ratio to stretch the picture but this always seems to crash the the program for some reason. Any help or tips?? Or is it even a good idea to try and strech a widescreen edition? I'm new to all of this if you can't tell.... Thanks in advance!!

Battery Power Remains almost 1 Hour when you watch a Movie!!!! Not longer! I've ported 10 Movies to my iPOD 30G and i couldnt watch one movie until its end!!!!!! iPod Movie sucks!
And 14 hours of music means that you shouldnt tip the next button, so the display backlight turns on. you should turn of the backlight of your display then, your ipod works fine for almost 8 hours and not longer!!!!!
Please do me a favour and dont tell me that i should send in my ipod because the battery is damaged, no was this is my second ipod movie 30G. The fist one i already have sent back because of these issues (i thought the battery was damaged).
Yours,
lax

So what exactly do you want? the 60gb has better battery, so that is your only option

well, thats true lethal, but the 60G was (in my opinion) too expensive, so i decided to buy the 30G version. but after all, im truely satisfied,because the ipod is not vor video in the first. its a very good mp3 player with a video option.
but for those who are interstet in converting dvds into ipod videos here a quick guide which worked really fine for me:
Which software do you need?
1. dvd shrink
2. videora ipod converter
Guide:
1. rip your dvd (only the movie) into ONE (this is important!) VOB File (Edit/Preferences/output files/ and deactivate "Split VOP files into 1GB size chunks ...).
2. start Videora and click on convert/transcode new video and select "quality profile" MPEG4/Movie 0-2h
Thats all, now you will get cool movies in correct aspect ratio 16:9 without stretching the movie or something like that.
If you have questions, feel free to post I'll answer or help.
yours,
lax

Laxington - does your above post have anything to do with my last post regarding the letterbox/widescreen movies or are you just screwed with the widescreen movies? Is your way a better option?

Dear lethal,
Your guide has so far been super helpful and we all thank you ever so much for taking the trouble with it, and with this thread. I have yet another question to add to your list of thousands.
I'm trying to use PQ DVD to convert a DVD from the video store into an appropriate format. Whenever I enter *any* DVD I get the following error message after it tries to detect the disc:
"Access violation at address 00406797 in module 'PQDVD_iPod.exe'. Read of address 00000000."
Can you help? It's sounding like an installation problem. Thank you :)
Nic.

thank you lethal, you dont have to mention me actually i was inspired of your guide and did some experiments myself. so, first of all thank you ;-)
hi nolec5, widescreen doesnt screw me up anymore, because when you make it as i wrote above, your ipod will playback your widescreen movies with the black stripes at the top and bottom, so your movieslook normal. its just a quick way to port movies - when you dont have much time and want a quick conversion.
yours,
lax

Regarding the battery life of the 30G iPod, I get an hour and a half of video with the backlight on. And my experience with rechargable batteries is to run them all the way out before charging them the first time and it is very important to charge the battery all the way the first time. When my iPod came it said it was fully charged but the battery lasted 4 hours if I can recall correctly.
My only problem occurs with the video, I noticed someone else asked this question but there wasn't an answer I don't believe. The sound in most of the movies I've converted [with PQ DVD to iPod Video] is a little ahead of the actual picture. Could that be my computer's to slow to convert the video at the same pace as the sound? The only thing that would prevent me from thinking that is that as far as I can tell with 10 minute long movie segments or so, that the audio isn't getting progressively farther ahead of the video.
Thanks for any help you have to offer.

For my Videora Convetor, I have the settings at MPEG-4 > FQ-VBR, QScale: 2 (better quality = lower) Res. 320x240, Framerate: Input, Passes: 2 (can be 1 if you are in a rush) and all other blanks at 1:1 or 0.
And I would like to add (Haven't read most of the thread), converting to over 320x240 is only necessary or useful at all when you plan to connect your iPod to a TV.

You have to pay $30 for that, and I have never heard of that ~ are you advertising?

Lethal B, I am confused!!! I was simply trying to find a way to get DVD video to my iPod and now I am looking at PQ DVD (which doesn't seem to work- same problem as mentioned here), Cucusoft, samrtripper, DVD to AVI, XviD, and AnyDVD, and now Super DVD to Ipod converter and AVS video converter. Any advice on what to choose??

Shinraboy- When you sat 'refuses to open', what do you act mean? does it get to a certain stage then close? will it run? What Version of windows are you using? (assuming you have windows)
duny- Cucusoft is also a very good program. Please check the guide of dkmopq as he covers that program in his guide :)
