To select a video you would like to convert hit the
Browse... button next to the
Input File Name field. In the opened Windows Explorer Window browse for the necessary DVD folder:
Note: when your input is a DVD Disc, you will need to select the path to your source file: X:Video_TSVideo_TS.IFO. "X" stands for your DVD-ROM or the hard disk drive folder where your DVD is stored:
It is usually safe to select the
IFO file, rather than VOB file, because the IFO file contains the information about the entire DVD structure and this way you will avoid audio and video de-synch problems when converting. Also, most DVDs have several VOB files (files with actual video) and if you convert VOBs instead of IFO, you will have to merge them afterwards, which is not the case with the IFO files.
After you have selected the
VIDEO_TS.IFO file click the
Advanced >> button. Normally the program will select the longest DVD title that usually corresponds to the main movie on the disc. You can check that clicking the drop-down arrow near the
Video -> Track box:
If you prefer to convert files that are located on your hard disk drive, please make sure that you copy not only VOB files, but IFO files as well.
After you have selected the video input file, press
To MP4 button on the main panel. In the list of
Profiles (
MP4 Profile Field) select one of the offered iPod profiles. You can also click
Edit Profile button to manually set the iPod profile parameters.
For novice users it is recommended to select one of the default iPod profiles:
- Apple iPod - (H.264, 320*240)
- Apple iPod - (H.264, 640*480)
- Apple iPod - (MPEG4, 320*240)
You can also click
Edit Profile button to manually set the iPod profile parameters.
Click the
Browse... button next to the
Output File Name field and select a location on your HDD for the output video file.
Note: when you select a location for your output video file, you should save the file to your personal computer HDD.
After you have set up all the conversion parameters, hit the
Convert Now! button to start converting.
You can visually judge the DVD conversion process if you hit the
Advanced>> button.
The result of the conversion should be a video file with .m4v extension that can be transferred to your iPod with the help of the AVS Uploader service. It will be launched automatically when the conversion process is over.
Connect your iPod to your computer with the help of a cable. Turn on the iPod.
The
AVS Uploader service application will be launched to guide you through the upload process so that you could send your converted video file to your Apple iPod with no difficulty.
If the Apple iPod is not displayed in the
AVS Uploader window you should press the
Find Devices button to search for your iPod:
When you click the
Upload>> button the upload process itself will take place. It will take some time depending on the output video file size.
Now you can enjoy your favorite home video DVD and video files on your iPod!
