Question Posted Saturday January 28 2006, 1:53 am

I tried to download software that allows you to convert DVD and other video formats to the iPod video format, but after I did it, it wouldn't open. What do I open the software up with? Like there's no shortcut on the desktop or under "start" or anything..I use bitcomet.

ALSO: what is the best software for what I'm looking for?

ONE MORE THING: we're getting a new computer soon. I don't have an iPod video but I still buy (and will be converting) videos for iTunes. How do I transfer the videos from the iTunes of an old computer to the iTunes of another without them both working at the same time.

Thank you.

Well, I think the software you need is DVD ripper or DVD to iPod converter. Aimersoft has this kind of software that I usually use. They are really powerful. Actually you can go to the homepage of Aimersoft to search the software you want. [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
I’m sorry for the iTunes question that I have no idea.

well i cant really help you with your first or second problem, but i can help you with your third. What you need is a portable harddrive or flash drive. The flash drives are the little sticks that can go on key chains or strings.I reccomend getting those because they arent very expensive and the portable hardrives cost over $100. You can get them (flash drives) at any Staples, Circuit City, Best Buy etc. What they do is hold memory from your computer so youll always have it, even if sometihing happens to the computer. They can hold as much space from 128MB to 4GB. Most are under $100.

heres a link to the page at staples.com with flash drives.

For your first problem, I would suggest Videora: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

Download that program and follow the easy steps: You'll find the video you want...
Transcode the video and wait for it to format...
Find the videos under the folder you saved Videora under (probaboy C/Program Files/Videora [look for this through My Computer])...

Hmm. Hopefully you already have an iPod that can hold the storage for the videos. If you do, try this:
Plug in your iPod
Open the folder(s) that has the videos you want to transfer
Go to My Computer and open up your iPod as a hard drive and click and drag videos into the iPod drive next to all the folders like Notes, Contacts, Calander, etc.
Wait for the videos to transfer onto your iPod as a regular file, then when you get your new computer, reverse the process and drag out the videos onto it.


Now if you don't have an iPod, then all of that was useless. So lets see...If you by any chance have a memory card, like one for digital cameras [like the memory duo disk or w/e its called] you might try putting that into your computer and load a video or more depending on how much it holds.
If that doesn't work, try using some kind of removeable disk, that you plug into a computer (usually through the USB Port). I doubt it would work if you tried burning it onto a CD, but you can definately tried - I havn't yet. See the thing is, it doesn't seem like you could use a CD - R/W, but you could always try it. Chances are it would be a DVD one...and if thats the case you would need a DVD RW burner.
Hope that helped and good luck, drop one in my inbox if you have any other questions.
