DVD to iPod conversion software really takes DVDs and converts them to MP4 format. Then from iTunes, you simply select those files to load to your iPhone, iPod, or iTouch (or other mp4 device).

Many companies promote software titles that make sense to consumers like 'DVD to iPod'. They can sell more because they know you type in DVD to iPod, not DVD to mp4 in the search engines. The bottom line is this: Any device that can download and play MP4 format can be used with the DVD to iPod software listed on this site. Sometimes companies will make DVD to iPhone software which is the same as their DVD to iPod software, with just a different title. Both of those pieces of software could convert your DVDs to your iPhone AND your iPod (or iTouch for that matter). They are just naming their software to match common search terms. The following devices can be used with the DVD to iPod (mp4) conversion software listed on this site:

• iPod: Works with all Video iPods including Nano
• iPhone
• iTouch
• PSP

This feature enables the user to select the subtitle language desired (ie. Spanish, English).

Batch Mode option allows the user to specify which portion or episode of the DVD or video to be copied. This also allows the user to retain or omit bonus materials and extra scenes.

This means that the software will support multiple formats of DVD and video.

Most of today's DVD's are encrypted with a Content Scrambling System (CSS) to avoid duplication. Be sure the software you purchase has the ability to override this encryption. While some DVD to iPod programs have this built in, others will provide a link to download a separate program which the software uses to process the decryption.

Some DVD and video to iPod programs enable you to modify the video's audio language (ie. English, Spanish)

Movie companies include the bad vectors in their DVDs so that your backup software cannot complete the process. CPRx ensures backup and DVD conversion will be a success.
