Movies on your iPod
I've been watching a bunch of movies on my iPod recently - the "boys movies" that I can't watch at home when my girls are around - the Matrix trilogy, War of the Worlds, Fast & the Furious, etc.
It's pretty easy to convert a movie to an iPod with Videora but there are some settings that need to be tweaked in order to keep the sound in sync with the vision for anything longer than 5 minutes.
Here's what I do
1. Follow the steps from the Videora web site. Easy!
2. Add movie to the iTunes library & sync the iPod. Done.
However there are a few settings in Videora needed to make things work. I use two profiles - one for 4:3 and one for 16:9 (widescreen). The settings are the same for both, except for the resolution.
Here's the 16:9 settings (for Region 4 DVD's):
Mode: MPEG-4->CBR
Resolution: 320x180
Passes: One
Bitrate: 768 kbps
Framerate: 29.97 fps [Important]
Custom FFMPEG flag: -async 1 [Important]
Audio:
I hope that helps :-)
