Transfer DVD Movies to iPod Touch 4G from Mac Snow Leopard

While I was looking for purchasing a MacBook Pro, I notice the back to school promotion "Buy a Mac for college, and get a free iPod touch" with educational discount and a free iPod Touch. However, this promotion is only for a college student, a teacher or a faculty member of grade level, who would like to purchase a new Mac between May 25 and September 7th. iPod Touch 4G was released early in September, 2010.

iPod Touch 4th gen is available with thinner design including two cameras for FaceTime and HD video recording, Retina display from iPhone 4, Apple A4 chip. The new iPod Touch is like iPhone 4 to playback 720p MP4 videos on 960-by-640-pixel resolution 3.5-inch multi-touch display. With the slim design, there is no DVD player on iPod Touch, and we need a Mac DVD to iPod Touch 4G converter to transfer DVD movies for video playback on the trip or during the time on bus. Aunsoft Blu-ray Ripper for Mac is the best iPod Touch converter I find with functions to rip DVD movies with main title and hard-burn subtitles for playback on iPod Touch.



Follow the steps below and you would find it easy to backup DVD to iPod Touch and even play movies with subtitles.

Step 1. Add DVD movies to Aunsoft Blu-ray Ripper for Mac.

Free download Aunsoft Blu-ray Ripper for Mac as the first-class DVD to iPod Touch 4G converter on Mac Snow Leopard, and insert DVD disc to iMac DVD Rom. Click the "BD/DVD Folder" button, and choose the DVD movie from the DEVICE to load the whole disc, which generally will include trailers, extras, deleted scenes and so on.

Step 2. Choose iPod Touch MP4 format.

Click the "Format" option and choose iPod > iPod Touch 2 H.264 640x480 as output profile to rip DVD to MP4 for iPod Touch 4G. As iPod Touch 4G supports H.246 MP4 videos in 720p, you may also customize the video resolution to 1080x720.

Step 3. Choose subtitle. (optional)

Select a title or chapter, and click the drop-down box of "Subtitle" option to choose the subtitle language. If the DVD disk includes alien language or forced subtitles, just check the box for "Forced Subtitle" to show the forced subtitle only.

Step 4. Convert DVD to MP4 for iPod Touch 4G.

Click the convert button on the bottom-right corner, and the conversion from DVD movies to iPod Touch 4G MP4 on Mac Snow Leopard will start immediately.

After the conversion, just sync and transfer DVD movies to iPod Touch 4G via iTunes.

Tips:

The Mac DVD to iPod Touch converter also import DVD movies on Apple hard drive in DVD-Video file structure with VIDEO_TS and related .bup, .ifo, and .vob files. If you would like to batch convert multiple DVD movies at a time or convert other videos from TiVO/MKV/MTS/M2TS to iPod Touch 4G, you may try the Aunsoft iMedia Converter for Mac as your iPod Touch 4G video converter.
