 If you’ve got a 5th-generation iPod (“with video”), one of the things you probably want to do is put movies on it. After all, despite the small screen, movies really do look great on the iPod, and it’s a lot easier to carry around than a laptop or portable DVD player.
In this guide we will explain how to rip video off of any DVD and get it onto your iPod (DVD to iPod).

FAQ - When I watch the output files on my iPod, every certain minutes, the video would freeze for a couple of seconds, and then the audio will disappear when the playback resume. I have to rewind the iPod to get the audio again. Why? It does not happen on iTunes and QuickTime on my computer.
Please check the version of the firmware of iPod you're using. If it's V1.1, you would have such problem. Please upgrade it to V1.1.1 released on Mar 23 2006 by Apple. Here is the download link: http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/. After that, the playback will be smooth on your iPod. |
