The use of mp3 players and Apple iPods is so prevalent throughout today's society, and virtually anything and everything can be placed on one. Movies that are in DVD format can also be placed on mp3 players and iPods that allow video files, but those files usually need to be converted to a specific file type first. In the case of Apple iPods, "mp4" format is usually the format that's required. One of the popular file converters to do just this is the iSkysoft DVD to Mp4 Converter. Of course, this software is used on a Mac system, so if you have a Mac here is how to use this software to convert your DVD files to place them on your iPod or other player that uses mp4 file formats.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

    Select the "Video_TS" folder in the DVD folder you opened in Step 3.

Tips & Warnings
  • To prevent having to sit in front of your computer through the whole conversion process, you can choose to shut down the computer or open the converted files' folder once the conversion has been completed. This can be done by checking one of the option buttons in bottom of the conversion window after you have clicked "Convert."
