MoviesForMyPod is a program i personally use when i am not in the mood to use iSquint! It has a very nice interface, and is very productive in getting the job done, and getting it done right! You have the ability to change the Quality, the sound issues, and also allows you to choose what format you want to pick! Here is a picture of all the formats you can choose from, With all those options, it can really help in almost anyway possible. I also think that unlike iSquint, MoviesForMyPod has many more options on what to convert too. You can convert for a podcast, you can convert for a phone, you can convert for your PSP too! (PSP's can and do use .MP4's and .M4V's). Overall, i really do think that if you are looking to get the most out of your video converter, MoviesForMyPod might just be the thing for you!

MoviePod is a program that i dont use often, but when i do, it comes in very handy! MoviePod simply converts files into .m4v's. These files do play on the iPod, for those who dont know what an M4V is. The reason why this app is just so great, is that when i rip a movie from Handbrake, Instant Handbrake, or even Handbrake Lite, the video size is huge. Not to mention i can't use iSquint to make the file size smaller due to the file already being in .MP4 format. So, what i like to do is send that .MP4 video file right on through MoviePod, and try and get the size of my video file smaller. I dont lose any video or sound quality, the only thing i lose is how big my video file is. For those who want to maxamize the amount of video's your iPod can hold, use MoviePod on your .MP4's!

When it comes to ripping DVD's with more than one file on them, Handbrake is your program. It has all the features that one could ask for when trying to do multi-ripping! Now, production on this app, last i have checked, has not been so fast. It seems that this apps production has not really come along, and still does have some problems. The problems this app has though, are not too significant, and should not be worried aboput when ripping! The pluses to this app are very simple! You are able to rip more than one video off a DVD at a time. Meaning, that instead of having to come back to your computer every other 1-2 hours, it will just do all of them, and you can return whenever you want! This app is great for people who want to rip TV Shows off their DVD's. I have used this on TV Shows such as: 24, Scrubs, King of Queens, and many others!

You can't really read more about Instant Handbrake, being that there is no specific site up and running for this program. If you want to download it, you can from this site: http://handbrake.m0k.org/?page_id=8

Handbrake is hosting Instant Handbrake on their site, and I highly recomend downloading this freeware app!

Handbrake lite, which is a better/more fool proof version of Handbrake, is one of my favourite ways of ripping DVD's. It is simple, has a great interface to it, and really is fool proof. The conversion times are not as long as Handbrake's but there are a few downsides to lite. One is that you dont really get to control the quality of your rip (normally, it is just set on standard!) This app is a good app, dont get me wrong, but if you are looking to have more control over your DVD Rip, then Handbrake would be better than Lite. I personally use each Lite and Handbrake about the same amount, there are some videos that i will try and want to change, and then there are others that i really just dont care as long as the quality is decent, and has good sound! Overall, this app is good, and worth getting, the only other really bad downside is that this app is not being updated anymore :( So, this version (1.1) is this highest it will go for right now!

iSquint is another great converting tool that i use very often. Instead of ripping and converting, this app converts video files right off your computer. Now, this does take awhile to accomplish, but iSquint does a really great job at making a file small, and making it into a .mp4 that has great quality. Take my scrubs episode, i put it through isquint at about 175 mb, i leave it on standard video quality, and standard sound quality, and i end up with a .mp4 version of my scrubs episode, 64 mb big! That is one hell of a converter right there. iSquint still does not support ever single sort of media file out there. If you want an app that does support pretty much every video file, you can buy Visual Hub, which can be found on the iSquint homepage!

Handbrake is a simple way to make video converting for the iPod Video easy! This app is used in a very simple manner! You need to just have a DVD inside you computer, and the program really just does the rest for you. You can adjust the quality of the video, the sound source, and view pictures that the program itself produces off the DVD. Handbrake earlier this year had a brake off, where people working on this app decided the process for updating handbrake was moving way to slow. They produced a different application called "MediaFork". I downloaded mediafork, and let me tell you, it took the app 2 and 1/2 days to just rip the Departed off the DVDm and after it got to 100%, the program froze up and quit. I put the video through handbrake and it worked just fine! I am glad that the two sides have come to an agreement, and are now working together once again! Handbrake has come out of it's so called "slow production" and is probably going to speed things up a bit! Out of all the DVD Rippers out there for the macintosh, i have truly fallen in love with this app!
