When I was PC, I used PQDVD converter to make video files compatible with iTunes and my iPod. Now that I'm Mac, what program do you use for this? Also, what do you use to rip DVDs to an iTunes compatible format?
Got a tip for us?

Thanks, I knew you could use it for ripping DVDs, but I didn't know if it would convert other files.

Yes it can, but MPEG Streamclip might be the better choice, as it does video converting a lot longer than Handbrake and gives you more options.

I use MPEG Streamclip (http://www.squared5.com/), Handbrake (http://handbrake.fr/) and QTX
For anything .avi I use QTX with the "Share > iTunes". It's easy and quick.
For almost all others I use Handbrake.
MPEG Streamclip I use only for uncompressed MPEG.
Of course this is all preference, not standard.

well, i always try Pavtube Video Converter for Mac to help me do this job. It can convert any video files to mp4 or mov so that the itunes can support, then u can sync to your ipod.

40USD for some poorly designed piece of software. Google will tell how it looks. It smells a little bit like spam.

Yeah, I just got done reading a bit about it... seems like a "cheaper" version of Toast with Blu-Ray support. I don't see why anyone would pay for it, when there is Handbrake and or MPEG SC out there. Although I paid for Toast 10... it's a little different!
