The fifth generation ipod created the buzz since its release. Many users have enjoyed television shows, movies and music videos played on their beloved iPod video. Hundreds of software has circulated the market to rip DVD and so users can upload their favorite movies, tv shows, music video, games and other multimedia clips. iPod movies are now the latest trend among iPod fanatics. Once you've gone to the iTunes music store, you select what movie (or episode) you want to see - most cost between 99 cents and $1.99; there are a few free trial offers as well. You can then download them onto your Mac or PC, and synchronize them with your iPod like any other media purchase. Buying your movies commercially through the iPod store ensures that they'll be of the highest quality for play back, and guaranteed compatible with the device. For most television programs made after 1964, every time a repeat airs (on Nick at Night, or just as a re-run during the season), the company broadcasting it pays a small amount of money to the studio for the right to rebroadcast it, and a very small chunk (half a cent on the dollar) gets stashed away into a fund called the residual fund, where it's used to pay the writers who created that show or wrote that episode in the first place. If you still want to rip an existing DVD movie on to your iPod video, start by downloading software available on the web but be careful! Choose only those that support the iPod video format. Look for features that are easy to use and fast,brief interface and design The iPod video converter should be able to integrate with all video/audio encoders/codecs. It should also support a preview function so you can be sure that the iPod movies turn out well. Examples of these are PQ DVD to iPod Video Converter, Handbrake or ImTOO iPod Movie Converter v2.1. Each of these software converts all of the popular video formats to iPod Movies MP4 (iPod video format MPEG-4) and they also convert audio files to iPod supported MP3, AAC, M4A file format. The conversion process happens automatically so all you have to do is set what format you want the movie converted then set the volume and the directory to save it in. Presto! You now have an addition to your iPod movies. There is a coming storm about distribution rights and payment of creatives for digital media. The current WGA writer's strike that's shelved most popular television programs is just one example. Be aware that at some point, there may be tracking bits put into DVDs to prevent these kinds of rips, or to track down pirates to bring them to court. For now, iPod video economics are set by the Hollywood production companies, because the cost to produce and create those programs is very high, while the cost of distribution can be very cheap - and they want to make sure that they make money doing their jobs. This is an area that's going to change rapidly over the next ten years. Once the digital video stream has been converted, you just drag and drop the file to your iPod and it'll show up on the digital playlist, and you're good to go. Now, be sure that you're only doing this with DVDs you legally own, and be aware that there's a movement afoot to make DVD copying software illegal, or harder to use. People getting paid for their work is a touchy issue - don't be a pirate. To fully enjoy your iPod movies, there are accessories available for your iPod video. With its TV OUT and wide screen option, you can share you iPod movies with friends inside your living room. The video quality will somewhat depend on the file compression but over-all the resolution is a great. The licensing agreements made are there to keep everyone afloat - producing television shoes costs nearly two million dollars an episode for a lot of them, for example, so shooting an entire 22 episode season is 44 to 45 million dollars invested, and the investors want to see a return on their money.
