Download movies and videos to your Ipod can be a pretty tricky task for two main reasons-1-Most people don’t know how to get the movies from their DVDs to their Ipods, and 2- Most people have no idea where online they can download all the free movies and games etc for their Ipod. Don’t worry though, I’m going to lay out the answer to both of those problems in a few simple steps below!
The first thing you will need to download movies from the DVDs to your Ipod is some decent DVD ripping software. This is software that takes the image of the movie from the disc and allows you to save it to your computer. Once it’s on there, you can put it where you want. It’s outside the scope of this article to tell you which software is best, but two of the most popular kinds of ripping software are the ones from Imtoo and Xilisoft. Learn more from a Google search.
When you’ve made your decision and gotten yourself a DVD ripper, you simply need to follow their instructions and rip whatever movie you want on your computer. Sometimes these software programs will give things odd names, so be sure to save it somewhere easy to remember and with an obvious name.
You’ll find that most movies will be ripped into AVI format-good luck with getting your Ipod to play that! To get it to play on the Ipod you’ll need to go back to the ripping software and convert the ripped AVI file into a MP4 file. The Ipod will be able to work with this just fine.
Now that you have the movie as an MP4, the rest is a breeze. Open Itunes on your Imac or whatever computer, connect the Ipod, and load the saved MP4 onto the Ipod as you would any other movie. It’s pretty simple to download ipod movies and videos using this method.
Ah but what if you are looking to download some free ipod movies and videos? That’s a different story. It’s very easy and straightforward if you know how. Most people think they can just get free movies and videos from P2P sites and things like that, but they are illegal, and what’s worse the files will often have errors or even viruses on them, so you may damage your computer or your beloved Ipod.
Thankfully there are a few legal fee download sites springing up at the moment. These sites offer very fast downloads of anything you could want for your Ipod-music, games, movies, tv shows etc. I’d really recommend these over the illegal sites. To keep the downloads fast and clean, they do charge a small admin fee at the start of your membership-it’s usually between $20 and $50, and from there it’s all free. Do you think you could download more than $50 worth of free movies etc? It’s very easy to get much more than your money’s worth with sites like this.
Hopefully those pointers will help you download all the free ipod movies and videos you could want, but in a safe way-avoiding breaking the law and nasty viruses!
