4Media DVD to iPod Converter can help you rip DVD contents to iPod-compatible profiles. The application has a nice and intuitive interface, although probably too similar to those of many converters around.
Fortunately, this ripper supports practically all types of DVD input, such as standard discs, DVD folders, IFO files and ISO images. It also displays a list of the chapters and titles, from which you can select those you need to convert. Additionally, in case the source contains multiple streams, you can decide which subtitles, angles and audio tracks to keep. A built-in player can help you make this selection by previewing the contents, and while you do that, you can also take snapshots of your preferred scenes. It is a pity that no editing function is available, which means that you will not be able to extract just a segment or crop the visible region of the frame, for example.
Most output profiles are intended to be compatible with various iPod models, like iPod Nano and iPod Touch. A very practical option is to transfer the resulting files directly to your iPod. However, there are some additional profiles based on such common audio and video formats as M4A, MP4, AIFF, MOV and WAV. In all cases, these profiles are easily customizable and you can even create new ones by modifying them. Finally, if the storage capacity available is limited or if you want the resulting clips to have a given time length, it is also allowed to split the files accordingly. more
