Underwhelming November 19, 2008
A bit of an odd one this, unlike some other reviewers this software gave me no moments of horror - more a feeling of pointlessness. I've used freeware for movie conversion in the past and thought this may provide the same functionality but with a bit more polish. I thought wrong. It's as rough edged and clunky as most freeware and no where as good as some.
Initially things seemed promising, it installed fine but then the automatic update did not work. Hmm. Downloaded update from website myself. My first effort was thwarted by the fact it wants your iPod to be attached while it's converting files - mine was at work. The following night I converted an AVI to iPod format with little trouble, but it does appear to hang for a moment or too. Next I try a non-copy protected DVD. No joy. I simply could not get it to work - then it crashed itself and iTunes (which it runs alongside itself). After restarting my PC I decided I'd had enough.
Movies on iPod 2 may be cheap but it doesn't really do what I'd expect it to and is 'fussy' in use - I recommend you look elsewhere if you want movies on your iPod. In a word: underwhelming.
bit disappointing November 19, 2008
unfortunately the program doesnt do what i imagined and was very excited about! I had dreams of transfering all my dvd collection onto my ipod so i could 'watch my movies on the go' but i didnt realise that it does not allow copyrighted dvds, so basically all dvds.....and therefore that was that! Have discovered i can download youtube for my ipod, so have been searching on there for things, but i dont know if it is my computer being slow or the program but it does take ages and you do have to be very patient! not quite what i had in mind unfortunately, maybe they can change it and release a better version, the concpt of it is fantastic though.
 An effective conversion tool...... November 19, 2008
I already owned several software applications which converted video files to mp4 (which the iPod plays). This is no more or less effective than the other readliy avaiable conversion software titles and like the others won't convert purchased copyrighted dvds. The user interface is a little sleeker than the others and the software is very easy to master. Ideal for converting avi files which are readily avaiable for download, you are given a choice of compression settings and audio playback - the higher the compression the lesser the quality of the finished file. Recommended.
Very good! November 18, 2008
I was a little worried about using this after reading the negative reviews but I tried it on my Vista PC and had no problems whatsoever.
The installation is easy and, although it does take a while, the DVD-to-iPod transfer is very straight forward and the picture and sound quality on the iPod is great.
 Didn't work! And I did try! November 11, 2008

Can't do anything but say this product installed OK on Windows Vista but when I tried to rip a basic DVD it just hung the machine and crashed.
I did try the support forums and got nowhere fast, I realise it could be my machine but had no problems with any other applications therefore I can only recommend you avoid this product unless you have seen it working elsewhere.
