What is the ideal application to convert video for iPod? Here are some factors we should take into consideration when considering choosing video software for IPod.
Steps
- Look for those with the best bang for the buck. Some applications are free.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Think about ease of use. If you don't know much about computers, consider software without very many settings and parameters.
- 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.
