Our iPod Video and DVD Quandary
Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009My wife just bought a high priced iPod Touch for her personal gift. She received one with a caboodle of space capable of holding all her songs, photographs and even many of her precious films. She was initially really thrilled about the video benefit, but was subsequently disappointed when she figured out that iTunes did not provide a means to rip DVDs to the iPod device.
She came to me and stated she was going to have to re-purchase all of our movies from iTunes in the proper data formatting for iPod playback. I felt that was ridiculous, we already paid more than a thousand dollars on our movie collection. I assured her I would research a way to get our existing films on her new iPod.
I began exploring using Google and eventually located a handful of highly graded computer programs made specifically to rip DVD to iPod data formatting. These computer programs were called iPod DVD Converter software package. I read umpteen consumer review articles and finally settled on the Avex DVD to iPod Converter. It was obviously the preferred program when it came to the DVD to iPod reviews.
I liked it because it came with a no cost demo version. I tried it out with a video and was flabbergasted how simple it was to use and the high quality of the outputted picture and sound recording. Buying it was a simple choice. I went onward and paid the full price, which was just a paltry $30. It was a huge savings equated to the thought of having to buy each movie we already held once again!
Subsequently I purchased it, I spent a few seconds teaching my wife how to use it. She is not the most PC savvy soul, but she was easily effective to use the package. If she can do it, I have no question anyone can (just do not let her know that I pronounced that!).
Next time I will tell you about my cell phone problem. What we need are cell phones with two sim card slots to be able to handle mutliple carriers.
