Video Ipod is fantastic for kids in the car

Your video ipod can be used by your kids if you are going on a trip. Its pretty simple to convert a DVD into a format that you can use on your ipod.

Looks like a windows version of the open source Handbrake will do the job, no GUI or anything, but beggars cannot be choosers. Heres the link to the handbrake forum that has all the info if you are interested. http://handbrake.m0k.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=210

This is the command line to run for future reference, some experimentation may need to be done with the output formats. hbtest.exe -i "H:\dvdtmp" -o h:\temp\hpot.mpg4 -e x264b13 -w 320 -l 240 -b 384 . The executable appears to scan the directory for the sound and video folders then starts doing its thing.
