Movie to iPod Converter

[sooobs]

Hi, does anyone know any good Movie to iPod converters for free that actually converts the whole movie? The ones I've searched on Google only downloads portions of it.

I would really appreciate help with this and links to download them!
Thanks

I've been looking for a good and free convertor for my zune. All the others seem to be trials and not get the job done.

Then pirate it

xilisoft video converter is very good, but it isn't freeware.

I needed a video converter too for my Cowon D2, and found this topic with a program made by elviselvis. It can convert videos for iPods too. Check it:

I have just finished video and subtitle converter for Cowon D2 :-)) , and it is FREE and OPEN SOURCE !!

features:
- videos and subtitles are inserted by drag and drop, you can also use CTRL + V or insert whole folder(s)
- subtitles are searched automatically if they are named same as video
- support for more video tracks and subtitles which are directly in video (usualy .ogm and .mkv uses this)
- you can insert subtitles directly to application with or before video, or by dropping it directly at the video in list of momentaly converted videos (the line in this list will then change color from red to green)
- SUPPORT NO RECOMPRESSION OF AUDIO, if the source is mpeg-1 layer 3, useful for videos from YOUTUBE.COM without recompression of audio - it is inteligent, automaticaly switch from "no recompression" to "compression" if soucre audio isn`t mpeg-1 layer 3
- using ffmpeg for muxing, and -async 192000 command (there is no A/V sync problems)
- it can monitor a folder on your computer and everytime when new video is inserted into this folder then it will automaticaly start conversion of this video (if this video is locked(for example by other application), then will wait until this video is unlocked and then start conversion))
- support zoom video to fullscreen (you can set if you will see black borders on your portable player or not), also support zoom which can be set in %Â (you can set how much will be black borders removed)
- based on mencoder and ffmpeg, NO A/V SYNCHRONIZATION PROBLEMS, WITH QUALITY SET TO MAX, it using Lanczos 10 tapes luma 10 tapes chroma filter for resizing, using quantitizer instead of video bitrate, for mp3 you setting quality instead of bitrate - this mean that you will have videos always in the same quality
- it will inform you about success (or not succes) in finding of subtitles by a special nice transfluescent window that show in the midle of the screen (the great thing is that for example when you browsing internet with your browser and this window appear, then when you click on that window then the browser will not loose focus - only thing that happen is that the info window dissapear), or after conversion finish then it will show you how many subtitles wasn`t found in the middle of application
- support videos without file extension (useful when you download video from youtube without any extension, there is no need to rename in)
- it is OPEN SOURCE - FREE - WITH NO RESTRICTIONS
- can be started hidden or rolled down (this is good if you want to use it as a WIDGET)
- automatic deinterlace if the source is MPEG2 (it using Donald Graft Kernel Deiterlacer), because there is 95 % probabilty that it is from interlaced DVB or Camera (nothing happens when source isn`t interlaced, because it deinterlace only interlaced parts of movie (it is inteligent))
- it has encoding queue - so all parameters like "output folder", "video bitrate"Â or "target machine" are saved for each inserted video personally - it is good if you converting videos for 2 or more type of players at the same time - THIS DIFFERS THIS APPLICATION FROM OTHER CONVERTERS
- if you try to shutdown Windows while converting then application will stop this shutting down and ask you if you realy wan`t to shutdown Windows
- start of encoding and lenght of final video CAN BE SET BY MOUSE WHEEL (at least for me it is extremely timesaving), and every slider in can be also set by mouse wheel
- if you pause the starting of new convesions and you forget it, then aplication in five minutes will (if there is no mouse activity over application) disable this pause and start conversion (this is good for always absent-minded people like me); the window with avaiable audio/subtitles tracks will also dissapear in 60 seconds automaticaly
- subtitles are autosizing - for example in resolution 640x480 they take 2/3 of width and in resolution 320x240 they take also 2/3 of width
- everything what you set in application is SAVED (this takes me a LOT of work)
- help is integrated directly in application, just stay with mouse for example on button or checkbox - the help window will appear - AND IT NEVER DISSAPEAR FIVE SECONDS AFTER SHOWED LIKE IN OTHER ANNOYING APPLICATIONS (disappear time is set to 100 seconds)
- conversion running at idle priority (it will not slow down your computer, you can do anything while converting)
- support multicore PCs (1-4 cores)
- it have TURBO button, if clicked then conversion is about 5x faster (at the cost of quality)

supports:
- Cowon D2
- iPod Video 5/5.5/6G (5G only with the newest firmware)
- iPhone/iPod Touch
- the new iPod Nano with video capability

planning to support :
- Cowon A2/A3
- X7 if it will support video
- any older cowon if somebody tell me the conversion parameters and knowledges
- computer (my brother want this, for converting his hockey DVB-T recordings to H264)
- iRiver Clix 2

here are screen shots:

this will show you application if not all subtitles for videos was found:

this will show you application if all subtitles for videos was found:

this will show you application for each video personally if subtitles for momenally converted video wasn`t found:

this will show you application for each video personally if subtitles for momenally converted video was found:

if you insert video with more audio tracks or with subitltes which are directly in video then it will automaticaly ask you which you want:

it can monitor folder in your computer and everytime when you add new video into it, then it will start conversion:

it will also show you information about count of non founded subtitles in application after convesion:

try Media Coder , it's free and it converts an assload of formats really nicely with a tonne of options

 

[Darkforce]

If you have actual DVDs you want to convert check out Handbrake. Great bit of kit and has presets for ipod video.

It has a ipod setting on it. Such a great converter, so many features.

 

[sooobs]

Cool! I'll try those converters

Thanks!

one more vote for handbrake
Im on a mac, but I think it's for windows as well. I think they also have handbrake lite which can handle stuff other than dvd's...
