Converting video to watch on ipod

[shari schultz]

I have a concert dvd (bootleg) that I would like to be able to watch on my ipod..........how do I do this? File is in Mpeg right now.
Recommendations on freeware? Anything?
Thanks

Are you on a Mac or a PC?

Oh, I suppose that would help if I shared that info...........
I am a PC

Get a converting program that first, encodes and converts the dvd (VOB) into something more common like avi, then convert that to mp4. Just google and you'll find converting programs

Can you import it to iTunes and then right click - convert to iPod?

That doesn't work very well... at least the last time I tried it.

I'd try using Videora. It's free and probably the most reliable iPod conversion software I used on a PC.

i use handbrake. it's got a setting on it for videos to be created in the ipod format. it works for me and i know they have both a mac and pc version, though i've only used the mac version.

I forgot about the PC version, and it works well.

I have Bruce on my ipod thanks to Videora. Thank you LMP
I tried to go Handbrake but I have an older computer and the not enough RAM message kept popping up.
Thank you for the tips one and all

Having lunch with Bruce was priceless.
