imtoosoft

ImTOO DVD to iPod Converter is a super DVD to iPod transfer software for Apple iPod that can transfer DVD to your iPod directly. Here is the guide:
1. Run DVD to iPod Converter and load DVD. Please choose "Add DVD Folder" in the 'File' menu or directly press the "DVD" button in the main interface, then select your DVD Drive in the pop-up window and press the "OK" button.

2. You can choose to convert either any chapters within a file or the entire file at will.
* If you want to convert the entire file, please follow this way:
(1) Set output format:
In "Profile" drop down list box, you may select output format. The software allows setting different output formats according to different files.

Tips: There are 2 optimized settings for iPod video conversion, iPod (60G) MPEG-4 Movie (*.mp4) and iPod (30G) MPEG-4 Movie (*.mp4). Selecting any of them, you will get iPod MP4 formats directly.
(2) Set conversion mode (Optional) After selecting certain output format, the right column will show its general standard. Clicking certain settings such as 'Zoom', 'Split', 'Destination' and 'Title' etc, you may set it.

Tips: you can set "Bit Rate" by choosing the rate given, such as "512". And the higher the Bit Rate you choose the better the picture you will get. Certainly, you can keep all the above options default without any change.
(3) Start conversion:
Finally, selected the chapter you want to convert and start conversion by right-clicking the file name and selecting 'Rip Selected' under the menu.

* If you want to convert just a chapter, here is the way: After your DVD is loaded into the program, please select the file name and click the "Show Chapters" button in the main interface and then you will see all the chapters within this file. Please select the chapter you want to convert and do the same as the above (1), (2) and (3).

3. And then you will get a file that is ready to be played on your iPod. But how do you add it to your iPod? Here is the way: (1) Please click 'Open' button after the conversion is completed.
(2) Find the converted file in the destination folder and pull it to your iTunes.

(3) Drag the file onto the iPod logo in the iTunes and then release the mouse when "+" appears around the cursor. The file will be transferred to iPod automatically.
Finally, you are able to enjoy your beloved movies on your iPod breezily!

Hello

When converting a Movie from a DVD I found that with movies that have a 1:85 aspect ratio, the picture on the IPOD is in Full... However when converting a movie with a 2:35 aspect ratio it some how creates the borders. Thus producing the letter box view even when selecting (Full Aspect Ratio)

Is there anyway of expanding or amending the settings in ImToo to allow the conversion of 2:35 aspect ratio movies to appear in the general 1:85 allowing full screen on the IPOD??

Thank you

Sorry for delay!
I think that you should change the "Zoom" under the interface, select the "Full", you will get the what you want

What is the most important thing in a DVD to iPod Converter

Today, iPod is very popular in our world.,,Many young man and woman are the fans of iPod ,of course ,I am the one of them,.There are many 3rd Part support software for iPod,for example:Imtoo, xilisoft , Wondershare and so on.So,let us talk about What is the important of a dvd to ipod converter ?
everyone knowsthat ImTOO DVD to iPod Converter is very popular in iPod user, I am one of the software user,too. I like this tool. I can use it easily to ripping dvd ,and transimit the files to the iPod, I feel that the best advantage of this product is the ripping speed, the cpu of my pc is Dual Core, Hyper-Thread processor,imtoo ,and ImTOO DVD to iPod Converter support Multi-threading,so I can get the fast speed.

But one day I hear these following words : I don't think ImTOO DVD to iPod Converter is a good DVD to iPod Converter software. Because it doesn't support MP4 AVC/H.264, which is more better than MP4 format.

Wondershare DVD to iPod Ripper can help you convert your DVD movie to MP4 AVC video file.You can get his meaning in his sentence, if a dvd to converter can not support MP4 AVC/H.264,it is not a good DVD to iPod Coverter;if a converter support more format,even it can not support Multi-threading and has slower spend, it is a good DVD to iPod Coverter .in his eyes,the formats of a converter supported is the most important thing of a a DVD to iPod Coverter
I can not agree what he said , .everyone knows that as a DVD to iPod Converter , the speed is very important, if you take very long time to ripping DVD to MP4 AVC/H.264. what about the value of your time? so the format of MP4 AVC/H.264 is useless in DVD to iPod.Or,we can say that speed is the most important things of a DvD to iPod converter!!!

sallon

I admit that MP4 AVC/H.264 have a good quality than MP4,but don’t forget that you watch your movie in iPod, But when you are watching movie in your ipod , how do you to differentiate between H.264 and Mp4 format?
what's more?,

if you want MP4 AVC/H.264 foramats for Tv(use the line out of iPod) , you can use ImTOO iPod Movie Converter or other video converter do this job, if you get ImTOO iPod Movie Converter(I use this tool) ,it supports APE, CUE, AVI, MPEG, WMV, MOV, MP4, RM, RMVB, H.264, DivX, ASF, VOB, 3GP and so on。
In my opinion ,speed is the most thing in a DVD to iPod Converter,because time is limit and time is the money.
