<p>Video ipod for Christmas. So, anyone know of any free converters to transform other movie files to mp4s? I see plenty of shareware online, but they limit movies to 5 minutes.</p>
<p>I googled it and came up with this... having the same problem.

maybe that will work...</p>
<p>Try <a href="http://www.pqdvd.com/%5B/url%5D">http://www.pqdvd.com/</a>. Converts dvd's quickly (about 35 mins.) to the mpeg-4 format. Inexpensive and idiot proof. Make sure you use the high resolution and 24fps settings or else the picture really jumps around a lot. Watched movies on a recent plane trip and it was great!</p>
<p>do any of u know how to put the videos onto the ipod? i tried the "add file to library" but that didnt work. thanks!</p>
