Comments on: Your DVD’s - To Go http://www.jasoncoleman.net/2006/02/04/your-dvds-to-go/ All the makings of a real web site, plus my stuff.

On the Mac side, however, I've tried two different apps so far: Handbrake and FortyTwo-DVD-VXPlus (worst name ever!). They both will rip a DVD directly to iPod-preferred format. Neither are perfect. It takes like 8 hours or more to rip a movie with either of these. I can deal with that, but the main thing is: videos ripped with FTDVDVXP (not even a short abbreviation!) don't seem to have perfectly sync'd audio and video. It's really annoying. And Handbrake is better with sync, but its interface is not nearly as nice and I get little skips/pops in the audio. Still looking for the ultimate utility for DVD->iPod. I'd really like FTDVDVXP if they would only fix the sync issue. Maybe in a future version. PS- The main thing I'm using this for is to copy live music DVDs to my iPod. This allows me to listen to the concert in audio mode, or watch in video mode, or listen (in video mode) in the car while Stacie watches the video. Looks like a good thing for PC people.
