alloutmacstoday Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 i just got an ipod video so, i'm ripping and converting movies for it. when i use toast to convert for "ipod/apple tv/iphone (best)" my cpu is always running very high/loud. i have a macbook 1.83 w/ 1gb ram (getting 2 soon). is there something wrong with toast, or is everything ok? bump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alloutmacstoday Posted June 7, 2007 Author Share Posted June 7, 2007 sweet, how bout visual hub? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
errandwolfe Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 I use VisualHub 1.22 all the time. Works great no only for iPod/iTunes but also converting video to upload to my Tivo. Has built in profiles for both so makes conversion a snap. MUCH quicker then using Toast to convert my video to iPod/iTunes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danyel Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Hi AllOutMacsToday: I don't have a video iPod (I have nano) but I use HandBrake to convert my movies to play on the computer. Best of all, it's free (!) http://www.podcastingnews.com/articles/Rip...s_for_iPod.html --danyel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drunknbass Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 what ripping progs have a batch option. or like a list setup? cause ripping takes a decent amount of time and id like to rip all vids in a folder or at least add a few files to a list and leave or go to bed and have it rip through my list of files. instead of doing them 1 by 1 after each one finishes.

Mebster Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 I didn't think iSquint neither Quick Time pro ripped movies. Only converted them. Also do you guys know what I could use to rip+convert movies to mp4 for my N95? Also what can I use to convert divx movies to mp4 also? Ideally i'm looking for small good quality outputs. I don't know much about converting and ripping so I appreciate any help here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
