Convert DVD films and video files for the media player(iPod)

           DVD films and video fi les in formats such as DivX can't be transferred and viewed on an iPod or iPhone directly.
           With the freeware HandBrake, films can be converted for iPod and iPhone. However, you may not be able to copy DVDs if they are copy-protected. You will need to install the Microsoft’s .NET Framework. Immediately after starting, set the default path for the task. Open ‘Tools | Options’ and click the ‘General’ tab next to ‘Output fi les’ in ‘Browse’. Navigate to the desired folder and select the fi le that needs to be converted. Through ‘Source’ select the source. Use ‘Video file’ for an individual fi le or ‘DVD/ VIDEO_TS Folder’ to convert an existing DVD folder on the hard disk. As long as the DVD is loaded, it can be selected directly. HandBrake analyzes the source and adjusts the dialogues. The title or chapter to be taken from the source can be selected with combo boxes in the section ‘Source’. On a music DVD, select the individual titles through ‘Chapters’. In the input fi eld for ‘Destination’, defi ne the fi le names for the task. For all additional settings, use the standard defaults for the target device. Right-click in ‘Presets’ on ‘Apple’ and subsequently on ‘iPod’. HandBrake sets the options on the tabs ‘Picture’, ‘Video’, ‘Audio’ and ‘Chapters’ automatically. To convert, click on ‘Start’ at the top. The process is resourceintensive and time consuming. The overall time taken to convert will depend on the computer performance, settings and size of the video. The fi nished M4V file can now be transferred to the iPod.
