These two new pieces of Windows PC software are designed to quickly convert movies into iPod-compatible files. DVD Copy 4 – here in the Platinum H.264 Edition ($80) – promises to convert DVDs and other movies into iPod format in three steps.
It can also create DivX files, and copy DVDs. You insert a disc and select it in the program, choose an output type (DVD, VCD/SVCD or video file) and format (iPod), then press the burn button.
iVideoToGo for iPod ($30) is streamlined for iPod conversion, taking DVDs or video files in numerous formats (AVI, MPEG, WMV, MOV, MP4, DivX, ASF, DVR-MS, 3GP) and converting them into MPEG-4 or H.264 format with ease. Free trials of both programs are available through InterVideo’s web site.
