Follow these steps:

1.Google search the latest version 'Wondershare iPod Video Suite' The latest version is 2.6.5. Click DVD to iPod Converter component to launch the ‘DVD to iPod Ripper.'

Import/Rip DVD files.

2.Rip your DVD files from DVD-ROM drive by clicking "Open DVD". This process is called ‘Ripping'. Additionally, ripping DVDs is somewhat illegal. This software helps you rip DVDs automatically. You don't need to know how to break the css protection. You will not be confused by the complicated operation of ‘DVD Decrypter' or ‘DVD Shrink'. I really love this function.

3. Or Load .ifo files from your hard disk by clicking "Add ifo".

4. Or right click on the blank area in the center of the main interface to import video files from your hard disk or DVD-ROM drive.

5. Select the content you want to convert. As usual, the longest title is the main file of the movie. You can remove the title you don't like to convert by choosing the title, right-clicking and "Check All" or "Uncheck All". Additional, Wondershare iPod Video Suite supports batch convert. This helps you increase efficiency. And you can select the function ‘Shut down computer when conversion is complete', then you needn't stand by the computer until all the tasks finished.

6. DVD movie often has a black border on both the top and bottom, if you want to cut it and watch your DVD with full screen on ipod; you can click the "cropping" button. Then a window will be popped up, on this window, you can drag the yellow frame to cut any parts you don't want when you preview the DVD movie, or you can use the crop window which set in advanced on the top of the window.

7. Option setting. Click "Option" to set conversion parameter.You can customize "Resolution", ‘Frame rate', ‘Codec', ‘Bit rate', ‘Channels', ‘Frequency', ‘Volume' here according to your need. Or you just use the default setting.There is something I want to explain. As to ‘Codec' setting. There are two choices for you—‘H.264' & ‘xVID'.‘H.264' provides higher quality with less size. But the conversion time is longer than ‘xVID'. If you care about the video definition. ‘H.264' would be your choice. I prefer ‘xVID' to ‘H.264'. Because it's difficult to distinguish the tiny difference between ‘H.264' and ‘xVID' on iPod's little screen.

8. Subtitle, Audio, output directory setting.

9. DVD provides multi languages Subtitle. You can click the drop-down menu to select anyone you want. Select ‘Audio' is the same. To 'Save as', enter the full pathname or select the path where you want to save your video files by clicking the icon in the right side.

10. As for "format" option, this software can convert DVD to MP4 format for watching on iPod, it also can extract audio track from DVD movie and save as MP3 or M4A format which can be boardcast or listened on any other MP3 player.

11. After all the thing done, click the ‘START' button to begin the conversion.

Convert Regular Video to Ipod

1. After installing the 'Wondershare iPod Video Suite'. Click 'Video to iPod Converter' button to launch it. Its interface and operation are similar to 'DVD to iPod Ripper'.

2. But compare with ‘DVD to iPod Ripper', there are two parts that are emphasized:

a. In ‘DVD to iPod Ripper', you click the ‘option' icon on the top to open the option window. In ‘Video to iPod Converter', you can right click the video files and click ‘Params Setting' to open the option windows. This function let you set different options to different tasks. For example, you set the conversion format for the first video in xVID, and you can set it for the second video in H.264. So you can import multi files at one time and set the suitable option for each task and then go away to do any other thing. It's really good, I love it.

b. With ‘Video to iPod Converter', you can capture any lovely pictures from the videos. Either be your cool desktop or print it. There is a small ‘camera' icon on the right part of the interface. Click it while previewing the video; it will save the current picture of the video for you. More over you can save it in .JPG or .BMP.

3. Import video files by clicking ‘Add files' or right click the blank of the main interface to ‘Load Videos…'

4. Option setting. It's the same as ‘DVD to iPod Ripper'. So I'm not repeating it. You can refer above details to manage it.

5. Select output directory. The default out put directory is C:\Program Files\Wondershare\iPod Video Suite\video2ipod\Output

6. Go, Go, Go. Click ‘Start' button to start the conversion.

How to update video to your ipod through iTunes

1. Connect your iPod to PC, launch iTunes.If you don't have iTunes. You can download free from here:http://www.apple.com/itunes/affiliates/d... We recommend that you create a new list to place the file you converted.

2. Find the mp4 file you have converted, directly drag into the playlist you created just now.If you have added the file to the library of the iTunes, you can drag it from library to the new playlist directly.

3. Update your iPod. Click ‘File'->'update your iPod'.After updating, you can see the file list on your ipod. You can change the file name showing on iPod. Please right click the file, choose "Get info", and change the info of this file at "Info". You are done and enjoy!

Answer 9

Find out which video format does your ipod plays.

Download a free software for converting formats , for ex search 'Xilsoft 3gp conventer' (i use it) , or type 'video converter' and such things at google , download it , convert your dvd video to mp4 or the format that your ipod supports , and send it to your ipod.

And , i think you must have a CD with software for your ipod from it's package , there must be some software for that.

Good luck.
