I looked around on the internet for a good program to transfer DVDs to mpeg4 format to put movies on my iPod. I found Apollo DVD to iPod was a great program, but it cost me $34.95 to unlock the full program and use it to its fullest potential.

Finally decided to go with videora as an ipod movie converter. Yes you can watch movies on the tv with an av cable. I've never tried it, but I doubt it would be up to dvd quality.

No, it will not burn DVD. Also Apple does not support older operating systems, therefore you cannot install and use software. Beautiful and functional, but limit to what you can do with it.

I USED to be able to do that but it no longer is working. I was wondering if it were my iPod but nothing seems wrong with it. Using my iPod to play music through this unit is still working fine but I bought it for the precise purpose of using it as a larger screen for watching videos from my iPod. Anyone have suggestions? I loved it when it was working properly.

Thats two questions, yes if you use this device (which I recommend for mac, I have problems using it on my pc) you can transfer video to a dvd from your computer. the licensing problem I would answer as to say you are not technically suppose to make copies or transfer movies at all that are copyrighted. That decision is up to you.

I'm a big fan of my iPod touch as well (in fact, I'm typing this on mine right now). To download movies or TV shows, I normally just use iTunes. It's not only easy, but it's also legal. Paying two dollars per episode is outrageous for some, but I don't mind because of the ease and convenience...Just my two cents :-)

I was curious about the same thing? Have you been able to find out yet? Also? Although this may sound like a stupid question, are you able to download these movies or music then take them with you in the car for example and let the kids in the back seat be able to watch them on their kindles?

Hi Mely_May, I recently purchased the 32GB Ipod Touch 5th Generation, Wow What a machine, Yes you can create Playlists with the device or on your computer and just drag then to your device I recommend doing it this way so you have the playlist available for your computer and your Ipod, I would also suggest the 32gb version if you plan to watch movies, or Tv shows since they can be stored on the device. Hope this Helps. Brian

How do I even get the video onto a dvd? When I play it in Quicktime, it plays sound but no movie. When I use Windows Media Player, I get video but no sound. What am I doing wrong?

I don't know how you configured your system to watch movies. I used iTunes to create a library of movies, TV shows, and music on the drive, which is connected via USB to my iMac. I then have an Apple TV device connected to my TV (Yes, I also have a Visio) using an HDMI port. The iMac and Apple TV can converse with each other to play movies through my Wi-Fi system (I have an Apple Time Capsule, but your Wi-Fi could easily be something else). Just bring up iTunes on the computer and select the library on the drive and you're good to go.

Great Queston! My Wife gave me an Ipod for Christmas, I have around 1,000 cd's, I've almost loaded all of them on my computer. My Ipod is less than half full, my computer is maxed! I want to load more!

Hey, I had the same problem getting DVDs onto my Vision. What you need are two programs that work with one another. AnyDVD and CloneDVDMobile. Do a Google search for them. AnyDVD actively disables the Copyright-protection on "any DVD" and CloneDVDMobile lets you choose what model MP3 player you have, what size you want to make the video, and what chapters off the DVD you want to convert. They give you a trial period that lasts about 20 days, so you'll have plenty of time. Check it out!And about getting videos period. I've aquired all my videos from media sites like extremefunnyhumor.com, ebaumsworld.com, and killsometime.com. Those sites typically have a link to be able to save the video onto your hard drive.

The unit has an AV input jack, so the short answer is yes. The longer answer is that the video out on IPod Classic will only work with cables and docs that have a special chip in them. Previous IPods didn't have this requirement. Currently, the only availble cables I know of come from Apple and cost about $50. They have both component video and composite RCA cables(which is what you'll need for this player). Since this unit unit only has a single AV input jack, you'll need an adapter to plug the red, yellow, & white connectors into the included cable. Simple video connector cables should do (RCA female on both ends). You could also purchase a dock that's compatible with the IPod classic and use the included AV cable. With the IPod classic, there's no real reason to get this specific unit. The dock on this unit is not compatible with the Ipod Classic and the AV input solution I outlined above would work with any portable DVD player.

Yes, video saves to sd card then can be transferred your computer, then to a DVD. Just like taking a picture from a digital camera, transferring it to a computer then backing it up on a disc or flash drive. It really is a good device. You won't be disappointed. Hope this helps

Yes you can copy from your CD's to iTunes and then sync it with your iPod. You could probably find instructions for doing this on the internet or at Apple Support.

I haven't tried doing that. I just download my itunes music/ movies onto it.

Mine works just like the one in my computer, just plug in USB and computer assigns it a drive and just play - record, burn, etc. My DVD RW had gone out on my computer, but now it's fixed so have two burners now. When portable player is plugged in and you want to burn something, like at itunes, you are prompted to select which burner. I was just stunned at how well it works, just like the one built into computer. But be careful with the software that comes with it, for it is just promotional - NOT needed to operate the unit. It will instruct you to put in disc to install. P.S. The portable floppy 3.5 works great as well if you have old stuff still stored on floppies.

I do not use iTunes, or Apple products, but this portable hard drive could easily be used to install anythinf from a dvd to your selected device. It might be batter if you would installyour music to your computer, then connect your device and download the music to your device. Then you can load your selection again at anytime easily.
