Can someone please tell me all the good software fro converting mpg,real, wmv, divx, etc... to be viewed on the ipod video.

I just tried PQ DVD. It's good! But the full version have to pay USD29.

maybe u can just get Quick time Pro
price, i'm not sure

isquint or visualhub for mac ; then for videora for windows.

both gives good quality

I tried videora, but nothing happends when i click the convert button. Did i miss out something?

I love iSquint, been using it since I got my iPod Video. Good stuff

But I'm using a Windows PC. Does anyone know a good freeware to convert video? Currently using PQ DVD trial version and it's quite good. But need to pay USD 29 to convert more than 7 minutes of video.

hmm.. not too sure why that happens . but did u make sure u have choosen all the correct settings like the input source n the output source ???

coz i've been using it for sometime & doesn't face this problem at all.

maybe u can try Allok
but also need to pay

So far, I have found Xilisoft IPod Video, the easiest to use 3rd party converter and it is able to convert virtually any video format. For details and to download a free trial copy click www.xilisoft.com/ipod-video-converter.

I've tried it! It's good i think! But also have to pay to convert more than 5 minutes...

i m using total converter ...
normally convert to divx or rmvb to avi ..no problem at all

but convert to MOV.. the sound will lag 0.5 second than video...

i m using K-lite codec pack lastest...

anybody got any quite time converter without any lag ??

i want to ask which converter is the fastest to convert your movie file. I use iSquint and it was faster than quicktime pro. any other suggestion, does not matter free or pay, just want to convert movie double quick time.

For freeware you can try out XviD4PSP, it works for the Ipod too! Click Winnydows

Maybe you could compare it to the Xilisoft Ipod Video, its pretty fast too.

thanks for the links guys, I think I like Xilisoft Ipod Video very much.

I've used iSquint, Quicktime Pro and Visual Hub. Visual Hub is basically iSquint on steroids but both are much faster than Quicktime Pro. If you have lots of Macs on your internal network and are compressing many movies, Visual Hub will let you spread the work using XGrid.

However when you plug your iPod to the TV, Quicktime Pro produces far better quality.

I think most would be the same, and the difference would at most be around few minutes for an hour of video. What would determine your speed is your processor. Or you could get a hardware accelerator like the ADS tech instant video to go although that thing is a lil on the pricey side.

hope this help......

Ya i like Xilisoft as well. I'm just curios, there are so many formats out there. Are the difference between format small? (eg. file size, quality for mp4 vx Divx)

@bumz, you can try this
http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html

It's totally FoC. Convert any media to any format as you like..

The simplest converter that I found for OSX:-

Ok thanks! I'll give it a try!

ah.. I tried using SUPER, but why damn slow ar?
converting 1 hour tv episode for 1,5 hours now... and counting...
(convert to 640*352 though... and installing iTunes as well... maybe processor not strong enough... )
later trying the 320*240....

edit: converted 6 avi movies(1 hr each) in 8 hours..
is it always that slow??
