    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.

Strange Handbrake-->iPod Touch problem

Hey guys,

I have been using handbrake for quite a while, and was often using it to convert dvd's to movies for my iPod Classic (320x240 screen), but recently I have tried to convert a dvd to the format and screen resolution for my iPod Touch. I have tried it with 'Hancock' and 'You Don't Mess With the Zohan'.

It seems to convert, but when I play it back on my mac the pictures is really really distorted (like you sometimes get when there is a bad signal on freeview) and becomes very blocky. It is unviewable, although the sound is fine.

I have tried it with the iPhone/iPod Touch preset as well as just putting the settings in for it.

This is the newest version of handbrake, and I have had it for quite a while and it used to work fine.

Need some help please guys!

Cheers

Mike

It is against forum rules to discuss how to copy protected movies or videos. I am guessing this is why you are not getting much of a response to your question seeing as both the movies you mentioned are copy protected.

Oh ok, thanks didn't realise. I thought it was ok, as they are my movies that I bought on dvd and I only want to rip them for personal use on my iPod.

Thanks though.

Mike
