Video Conversion Software for iPods Chapel Hill NC

Steps

1. Look for those with the best bang for the buck. Some applications are free.
2. Try to find a converter with DVD ripping enabled. The ability to convert the whole movie to one iPod video file, or convert every chapter to one file, can be very handy.
3. Consider video quality if you're going to use the iPod to watch movies. Enjoying good quality video is great, but takes up more space on your iPod.
4. Make sure it has solid audio quality. Since the main purpose of the iPod is playing audio, the sound needs to be just as good as the video.
5. Determine how important conversion speed is to you. Converting video often takes time. A one-hour movie takes around thirty minutes to convert to mpeg-4. If you have multiple videos to convert, a high speed application will be your best bet.
6. Think about ease of use. If you don't know much about computers, consider software without very many settings and parameters.
7. Think about personal demands. If you need to convert video to other formats (for websites, PSP, etc.), consider an application that will output to more formats.

Warnings

• If you download a video converter from the internet, make sure you trust the source. Software applications can contain viruses.
