Hello. I am thinking of getting Quicktime Pro 7 to use with my new
Ipod video and have a couple questions. I already have a program that
gets my DVD onto my hard drive (DVD Shrink). I was wondering if
Quicktime Pro 7 will be able to export the DVD files as an MPEG 4 video
(and eventually encode it with H.264 to save maximum space on my ipod).
Or do I have to get another program to convert my dvd into an MPEG4
(such as Xilisoft or ImTOO) and export that to my Ipod. Will Quicktime
automatically create mpeg4's containing H.264 video for every dvd I put
on my ipod? Thanks in advance! I don't have a MAC, so I can't
download Handbrake. :(

I haven't tried it, but you can theoretically do this with QuickTime
Pro, if you also buy the ($20) MPEG-2 playback component. However, it
would be really awkward, and would probably involve manually piecing
together video and audio spread across multiple files, as QuickTime is
not really designed to work conveniently with the sort of MPEG-2 program
streams you'll find on a DVD. Actually, it's possible you won't be able
to recover audio at all this way.

You're much better off using a specialized program for this.

OK, so I checked out all the software that does this, but I have a
possibility that needs answered! Is there any program software that
makes H.264 MPEGs from the DVD files?

OK forget that, one more question. If I give Quicktime Pro 7 a MPEG-4
File, will it automatically put it on my ipod with the H.264 technology?
