Guide: How to use free DVD to iPod video converter to rip DVD to iPod MP4 for Mac BeOS?
- Insert a DVD movie of your choice.
- Run Handbrake. Select Detected volume.
- Click Open. Handbrake will detect all the titles on the DVD movie. If you're ripping
a DVD movie, just select the longest title in the list. If you're
ripping a TV show or something with multiple episodes on one
disc, then select the episode you want.
- In the Destination section, set File Format to MP4 file.
- Set Codecs to MPEG-4 Video / AAC Audio.
Note: A previous version of this guide suggested using the AVC/H.264 Video codec, but that does not work because the Apple Video iPod can not play the H.264 files that Handbrake produces. The first-hand reports that the MPEG-4 Video codec works correctly. As an added bonus, MPEG-4 encoding is much faster.
- For File, enter the full pathname where you want to save your movie.
- In the Video section, set Quality to Average bitrate and enter 400.
This can be as high as 768, but unless you squint you probably
won't see much difference. Higher bitrate = higher quality video
= larger file size.
- Optional - Under Quality, select 2-pass encoding. This
takes twice as long to encode, but it improves the video quality
and doesn't make the file any larger.
- In the Audio section, for Language 1, select the audio track in your preferred language, as shown in Figure 8. Given the choice between MPEG and LPCM, choose MPEG.
- The Sample Rate is entirely up to you. Higher sample rate = higher quality audio = larger file size. The video iPod is compatible with any of the sample rates supported by Handbrake.
- For Bitrate, you can keep the default of 128, or select a rate up to 160. Higher rate = higher audio quality = larger file size.
- Click Picture Settings. In the Picture Settings dialog, decrease Width until either it reads 320. Handbrake will auto-adjust the height to match. For a full-screen movie, the height will end up at 240; for wide-screen movies, it will be lower.
- Close the Picture Settings dialog and click Rip. Encoding time depends on the speed of your Mac, the length of the DVD movie, and whether you selected 2-pass encoding. Handbrake will display a progress bar.
When encoding is finished, quit Handbrake.
- Run iTunes. Find the MP4 file (MPEG-4 format) that Handbrake created and drag it into your iTunes library, or select Add to Library from the File menu and select the encoded movie.
