  Can you believe it! I’m watching The Forbidden kingdom on my iPodnow! This movie just made
its worldwide premiere, and I rushed into the theater the day before yesterday, as if fighting for
a ticket to beat Jet lee and Jackie Chan. Then you may guess that after seeing it in widescreen, I was
still left feeling unfulfilled. So the DVD of the The forbidden kingdom soon adds into my DVD collection.
the fight between these two super kungfu star fascinate me, and I begin to think of ripping this funny and
exciting clip onto my ipod, to make sure I can enjoy it whenever I can on the go.
       After trying on about five dvd to ipod rippers I free-downloaded, I finally found an easy and inexpensive way
to settle this dear DVD movie.That’s a fabulous DVD movies to iPod conversion tool,PQ DVD to iPod Converter Suite. It’s a superb software, and allows
me to set the start time and end time, producing the exact clip I want. Meanwhile, the speed is really as fast as you
can imagine.
 
  Of course, I have something to say about the film itself.It’s said that all characters in the movie
refer to lots of other Chinese movies or legends, and I believe the movie will seem much funnier to us if we
know more about the China and its people. On the other hand, it’s really a  harmless outlets for the impulses repressed
in the hearts of about 13-year-old boys whose parents won’t let them rent Once Upon a Time in China or
the Kill Bill movies.

    Anyway, Such a easy access to watch The forbidden kingdom on  makes me overjoyed.If you wanna
see The Forbidden kingdom on your iPod or psp or pocket pc, or watch Sex and Death, Deception, etc. on these handheld devices,this PQ software is really a good choice.

        Here is review I searched out on this superb tool of convert movies to ipod.

      “ I am so excited to find an easy and inexpensive way to watch movies on my iPod, the only high-tech thing I have. No doubt, a lot of movies to iPod converters are queuing up for me in Google. But as careful as I always am, I first searched some pieces of reviews on converting movies to iPod from some “insider” sites and took time to chew them over, and finally decide to use the free trial of PQ DVD to iPod Converter Suite, a software continually praised by other users. After trying it on several DVDs and video files in my hard drive, I have to admit that this movies to iPod conversion tool is a clean, and very easy to use. You will never be annoyed by audio, video or spyware problems as long as you finish the output settings in the right way. The speed I care most, due to my impulse for batch conversion, is super fast, and I even wanted to convert all movies I can imagine to my 30GB iPod. Though other softwares for movies to iPod conversion may be good too, but I’m too lazy to lift my finger to try. Whatever, give it a try, and try converting your favorite movies to iPod, you may want to keep the software as well as the converted movies forever.”

Step 2: Complete the output settings.

Tips: Here comes the key step, because these options are of crucial importance for whether or not your encoded video will work on the iPod. So it’s to be discussed in great detail.

Choose Codec of video: Select MPEG-4(fast conversion, larger file size) or H.264(slow conversion, half the size) for the same quality as you like.

Bitrate: The bitrate refers to the number of bits per second devoted to storing the final product; the higher the bitrate, the greater the audio resolution of the final product. Bitrate (kbps) needs to be below 768 for H.264, and below 2500 for MPEG-4. PQ DVD Software recommends using lower-than-maximum numbers here, just for safety. If you’re really picky about video quality, you’ll need to test some clips to determine what looks and works best here.

Frame rate (fps): The frame rate is the number of frames or images that are projected or displayed per second. At least according to Apple’s technical specifications for the iPod, frame rate cannot exceed 30 fps regardless of whether you’re using MPEG-4 or H.264. In additionyou can also choose “Disable screensaver when recording” or “Shutdown the computer when the work is done”.
