Convert Video Files Before Creating a DVD

Many times a video file that you want to use to create a DVD is in a different format than the other video files you are using for your project. For the vast majority of DVD projects, it is best to convert all of your video files to the mpeg2 format.

There are many free programs that will convert your video files to mpeg2. One of the best is a small program called Handbrake. Use it to convert each of your video files to mpeg2 first, and then import these newly converted files into your DVD creation software. It will make for a much easier time making your DVD.

Handbrake

Handbrake is a free video software program that allows you to import footage from a DVD and convert the video footage into the MPEG-4 format. It is available for Windows, Mac and Linux.

Handbrake will rip your DVD video footage to your computer and then encodes it in the MPEG-4 format so you can then transfer it to an iPod.

The program does not circumvent dvd video copy protection, but if you have your own DVD video that you made of family and friends, it will allow you to rip, encode and transfer this footage to your iPod.

Go to your favorite search engine and search for Handbrake if you wish to download the program.
