Though the mp4 technology had come into the market, it wasn’t so famous and well known over the world. But with the advent of the iPod the video version of it the format mp4 has become well known. Mp4 is that format which is supported by most of the portable players and also by the well known iPod.
Now users convert their movies into the mp4 format to store and view them on their respective players whenever they want at leisure. Users are often confused as to how to convert these videos for viewing on their iPod’s. The process is very simple and easy and one can easily convert them without any hassles.
The Digital Versatile Disk or the DVD, which has the capacity of 4.7GB stores videos in an encoded format, which is the .VOB format. If you open the contents of the DVD you will find two folders –
VIDEO_TS
AUDIO_TS
If one opens the VIDEO_TS folder there will be lots of files, but there will also be files with the extension .VOB, which is the format in which the DVD stores the video. In order to convert the video one has to copy these files onto the hard disk of the computer in any folder. The simple reason for this is that in case the software or the DVD gets hanged while the conversion is going on then there might be a problem, so to be on the safer side one has to copy the DVD video files on the computer.
Then after that the process is as simple as 1,2 and 3. One can open the converter installed on the computer. After the converter has opened then one can drag or import the video files into the software. After the files are imported then one has to select the output option as mp4. Other settings can also be changed such as the frame rate or the bit rate for the audio etc. After the files are converted which would obviously take time one can add it to their iPod. That too can be only done through Apples trademark software iTunes. After opening iTunes one has to add the files and then from the left hand pane, from the movies tab and drag the files on to the iPod, which will also be on the left hand, side pane.
One has to keep on mind that though the task is easy it is a time taking job and consumes up a lot of time, so when the conversion is large ie.movies then one should just add the files and leave it for conversion. A feature film may easily take up 40-50 minutes. The conversion also depends upon the priority of the converter. One has to keep in mind that all other programs must be closed so that the converter can take up most of the memory and convert at a very fast rate.
