What are the differences between the trial version and the registered version?

The trial version can be used without charge for a period of 30 days. However the created movies will be watermarked. The registered version has no time limitation and makes no watermark on the created movies. If you want to continue using this software and convert DVD movies without watermark, please order and register this software. Click here for more information.

I How can I speed up the conversion?

There are several ways to speed up the conversion: 1, Set smaller Dimension; 2, Define lower Frame Rate. 
No matter what the settings are, converting a DVD to iPod videos is always time-consuming. However, Sothink iPod Video Converter can do it faster than most other software when the settings are the same.

What should I do after the conversion is done?

After the conversion is done, the program will automatically activate iTune and load the created videos to iPod. Please make sure your iPod is connected to the PC. Then you can click "Finish" to back to the beginning panel, and continue to convert other files. You can also click "Exit" to close the program.

What is CSS? How can I remove it?

Content Scrambling System (CSS) is created by the Hollywood Studios to prevent DVD movies from being pirated. The CSS encrypts the data on a DVD and requires a special key to decrypt it. Therefore before you convert a DVD you have to rip the protection from it first.

 

Sothink iPod Video Converter does not integrate any decryption function inside. But it is not hard to find a good decrypting application on Internet using a search engine (like Google). They are developed and distributed by independent third parties; none of which is affiliated with SourceTec Software.
