Convert DVD and video files for your handheld device |
Convert DVDs and Video to play on your iPod Video or Apple iPhone
To convert for the iPhone and iPod touch follow the same procedure as for the iPod Video, simply select the Apple iPhone / iTouch in the Pocket DVD Wizard instead of the iPod Video and the Pocket DVD Wizard will create the correct file for your phone.
Converting DVD content for the iPod Video or iPhone
The actual conversion is very easy. If you don't already have the Pocket DVD Wizard, download and install it, then simply start the Wizard using the icon on your Desktop.
You will see a large 'Select DVD' button, which you need to press, then you will be asked to select the DVD drive and choose a track from the DVD. Once you have selected the DVD you want to convert, the Wizard will take you through a few more options, step by step, explaining each one on the way (you do not need to be a technical genius!)
At the stage where the Wizard asks you which device you want to convert for, select the 'Apple iPod Video' option.
The software will then process the DVD (it usually takes 'real time' so a 90 minute track will take about 90-100 minutes to complete) and create a new video file for you. If you have a long DVD to convert you can leave your PC processing the DVD overnight, there is an option to turn off the pc on completion.
Adding new video files to your iPod or iPhone
Once you have the newly converted video file, you will want to add it to your iPod Video or iPhone.
Again, this is very easy, you just use iTunes. Start up iTunes, click on the File menu, then select 'Add to Library' and pick the video file created by the Pocket DVD Wizard.
iTunes will then load the video file, and next time you connect your iPod or iPhone to your PC (or Mac) the video file will be transferred to the iPod for you.
