To convert your DVD to your iPod in a MP4 video file format you must use a good DVD to iPod converter program such as Cucusoft’s DVD to iPod converter program. The full process of converting a DVD to iPod is very timely and can be difficult if the proper steps are not taken. You can spend up to several hours in wasting your time and energy in ripping a full length DVD and saving that file for conversion to an MP4 for your iPod if you use manual conversion procedures by use of manual ripping and converting processes. Video MP4 files are playable on the 5^th generation video iPod classic as well as the new 6^th generation video iPod classic.

If you have a big DVD collection you will want to use a reputable DVD to iPod converter program to produce a high-quality iPod MP4 video file for playback in your iPod classic. Your iPod classic video version whether it is a 5^th generation video iPod or the new 6^th generation iPod classic, will play movie files but they must be converted into a valid MP4 format for the iPod to recognize the file and play the movie. iTunes supports the MP4 video file format as well as the audio MP4 file format. By use of the MP4 file formats iTunes can seamlessly transfer your video file to your iPod in the same way that iTunes transfers MP4 audio files. Loading raw data from a DVD or a different video file such as AVI, FLV, WMV or others into iTunes does not do any kind of conversion. These types of files will not be recognized by your iPod video version and cannot be played on any iPod.  

All iPods have a set of software instructions it runs as its own operating system to allow the iPod to function correctly. The built in software will only read MP4 video files for a movie or podcast file to be displayed on the color LCD screen with stereo quality audio. By using a DVD to iPod conversion program it will allow you to create the readable MP4 file for your iPod to play movies on your iPod. If the MP4 file is written with low quality or low resolution video then your iPod will play the MP4 video file with low quality video and audio tracks leaving you with a difficult to view and understand movie or show. iPod video versions generally have a high quality output of displayed video and audio being the best selling portable movie and audio device around.  

If you use your iPod video for displaying movies on a TV by use of the TV adaptor for your iPod then you want to look for a DVD to iPod converter program that supports a resolution of 640 x 480. This resolution is needed to display a quality picture on a TV screen from your iPod.  

Other features you want to look for on a DVD to iPod conversion program to save you time and frustration are:

2. 320 x 240 and 640 x 480 resolution support – allows you to playback your movie on your iPod in high quality and by use of the TV output adaptor for playback on a TV screen.
