iTunes - Any way to get DVD's onto iTunes?

[Tristan]

Hey, I want to put a DVD onto my iTunes so that I can get it on my iPod Touch.


Is there any way that I can do this?
Thanks.

Yes, download an application called "Handbrake"
Export it as mp4

[Tristan]

And it doesn't ruin my DVD or nothing right?

[Recursion]

No it doesn't.

[Tristan]

Right thanks, are you able to tell me how cause this is incredibly confusing and I don't have a clue as to what I'm doing.

[Recursion]

Just download a program called HandBrake, it is very simple to use :P

[Tristan]

It seems that I need to rip it first.

[Minstrels]

Rip the DVD, download the application. Use.

use this guide: http://www.habboxforum.com/showthread.php?t=371235

then convert the avi file to mp4 using videora (http://www.videora.com/en-us/Converter/iPod/)

[Tristan]

Right don't like Handbrake, lol.
Took ages, ended up with no audio and also made my computer mess up lol.
I'll try videora cause I've got it into .avi.

Thanks.

Right, every time I try to open or do something with my MPEG-4 file, my computer freezes and crashes. Why is this?

Does it take years to convert a film?

[Tristan]

er dno.
Not really.
Perhaps about 1hr half.
But mine isn't working so I don't know...
Can anyone help?


EDIT: Got it to work - wahoo!
