Firstly you would need to download a copy of 1CLICK DVDTOIPOD
1CLICK DVDTOIPOD
converts DVD movies to video files compatible with
Apple iPod® Classic, Nano, Touch and iPhone. Download 1CLICK DVDTOIPOD

If you want to copy a DVD movie,
we recommend either 1CLICK DVD COPY or 1CLICK DVD COPY - PRO.

If the DVD you wish to convert is encrypted, you'll also need to install decrypting software.

   
1CLICK DVDTOIPOD is very simple to use. Insert a DVD and click the "START" button.

Now that you've downloaded a copy of "1 click dvd to ipod" you can configure your software
by clicking on the "Options" button. There are hints (popup captions) available for some
options, which you will see when you hover the mouse over the check box or title.

You will also find several other options in the popup menu, which you can access by clicking
the right mouse button anywhere on the application. You can open this user guide by clicking "?"
(help) button or by clicking the F1 keyboard key (while the application is in focus).

Zoom: If you convert a widescreen movie and play it back on a full screen device (like "iPod Classic" and "iPod Nano"), you will see black bars on the top and bottom of the image. You can remove these black bars by using the "Zoom" option.

The example shown below (see Figure 3) demonstrates each Zoom setting. The default setting for Zoom is "Half", which provides the best compromise between field of view and output display utilization.

Note: The "iPod Touch" and "iPhone" have zoom capability built into the device, so the "Zoom" option is not necessary for these devices. To zoom in with these devices, tap twice on the screen during playback.

Resolution: The video resolution is automatically adjusted to fit each zoom ratio. A higher resolution may result in better video quality. If you are only viewing the movie on a hand held display, we recommend you choose the lowest video resolution which will result in good overall viewing and smaller file size.

Source: Select the DVD reader or hard drive folder that contains the movie files. The software will attempt to choose your DVD reader at start up. If you have more than one reader, you may need to select the preferred reader.

Destination Folder: Select the destination where you would like the movie files stored.

Quality: Choose the quality factor (default is 20) which results in the desired file size and video quality.

File Name: Choose the name of the output file. When episodes are detected, a separate file is encoded for each episode. Each episode file will have an episode number appended to the file name. Episodes will appear grouped together in a sub-folder named after the 'File Name'.

   

Additional Options:
If you click the right mouse button anywhere on the application, an options menu will be displayed
as shown below:

Additional Options:

Refresh Source detection: Re-scans the Source DVD. Use this if you change DVDs and the information in the Options window has not refreshed to show the new source material.

Toggle Log Window visibility: Show or hide the log file window for the current copy session. The log file contains information about copy settings and DVD burning. NOTE: You can also open the entire log file (including previous copy sessions) using the F8 keyboard key. This will open the entire log file ("1clickdvdtoipod.log") as a temporary file in Windows Notepad. This is helpful if you want to quickly locate and save the log file to send to support in an email attachment. It is important that you include this log file with your email correspondence when requesting support.

Open Registration window: Launches the Registration window where you can enter your Registration ID or offline Activation Code. You can also determine the software version number in the window title bar. NOTE: You can also use the F2 keyboard key to open the Registration window.

Enable popup Hints: Show or hide the pop up hints that appear each time you hover over a control on the "Options" window.

Enable update notification: Launch an internet browser window to the website download page when a new version of the software becomes available for download. We strongly recommend you leave this option enabled to ensure you will be notified of bug fixes and changes to CPRx which are essential to handle new DVD movies.

Turn off computer after encoding: Enable or disable automatic shutdown of the computer after a successful encoding. This is useful if you wish to leave the computer unattended to convert a DVD and you want the computer to shut down after the encoding is completed.

Enable CPRx error correction: This option is enabled by default. CPRx error correction is essential to deal with DVDs which have bad sectors or bad structure. Many new DVD releases now require CPRx error correction to copy correctly. We recommend you do NOT disable this feature unless you have a third party utility which is capable of doing it's own error correction in concert with 1CLICK DVDTOIPOD.

Warn before erasing output file: Enable this option if you want the application to warn you before overwriting an output file that already exists with the same name. This option is enabled by default.

Preferred Audio Language: Select one language as your preferred audio language. When a DVD is detected, only the audio languages available on the DVD will appear in the drop down list box. To set your preferred audio language to a language which does not appear in the list box, remove the DVD and select from the list of all possible languages. If your preferred audio language is not available on a DVD, the default language of the DVD will be selected automatically.

Preferred Subtitle Language: Select one language as your preferred subtitle language. When a DVD is detected, only the subtitle languages available on the DVD will appear in the drop down list box. To set your preferred subtitle language to a language which does not appear in the list box, remove the DVD and select from the list of all possible languages.

If your preferred subtitle language is not available on a DVD, a warning message box will appear offering you the option to choose a different preferred subtitle language. Subtitles will only be encoded if the preferred subtitle language is available on the DVD.

Note: In some rare cases, an original DVD will list subtitle languages which are in fact not actually available on the DVD (you can confirm this by playing the original DVD).

Save Quality Factor: A Quality factor has been introduced to enable you to select the video quality which suites your taste. Increasing the video quality also increases the size of the file. Once you select a Quality factor, any change to video Resolution or Letterbox Zoom results in an automatic adjustment of the video bit-rate (bits per second) to ensure the quality remains constant. If you wish to save your preferred Quality factor, you need to enable this option. The default Quality is 20.

Encode Movie for this DVD: The feature movie is detected automatically. If the program did not detect the movie on your DVD, you can force the detection of the movie with this option.

Select Television Episodes: Television episodes are detected automatically. If the program did not detect episodes on your DVD, you can force the detection of episodes with this option.

Select All Titles: Special case DVDs are detected automatically. Any DVD which does not contain a feature movie or television episodes is considered "Special". A couple of examples are: music video DVDs and home made DVDs. If the program did not detect all the titles on your DVD, you can force the detection of all titles.

Choose episode to convert: If you only want to copy a single television episode (instead of all episodes by default), you use this option to select a particular episode from the list of all episodes.

Select Portable Video Device: This option permits you to select the portable video player you want to create files for. The default is: Apple - iPod Classic.

Select Application Language: This option permits you to select the language that will be used on all windows of the application.

   
The following are important for success:
  • If you are using a third party decrypting utility (such as "DVD43"), ensure you have the latest version.
  • To ensure your DVD writer is able to read at maximum speed, please ensure that DVD writer does not use a read slowdown mechanism often referred to as "Quiet Drive", which is designed to reduce drive noise when playing a DVD movie. This mechanism will often reduce the read speed to as low as 1X speed. Refer to your DVD reader/write documentation to determine how to disable this feature. Some manufactures have not provided software to disable this feature and in these cases you must download a modified (patched) firmware to disable this feature.
   
1Click DVDTOIPOD uses mencoder (a subset of mplayer) for encoding.
You can download the source code for mencoder here.
