The iPod Video Pack by Jesterware includes two separate programs—DVD to iPod and iPod Video Suite. DVDs are converted into chapter files, so you can transfer the whole disc to your iPod or just specific chapters. You can also select the video size and quality, but you can’t manually crop the picture or name the output file.

The iPod Video Suite has a helpful feature that shows you what your videos will look like on a life–sized graphic of an iPod.

The iPod Video Pack converts DVDs into high quality video files, but the program does not have as many features as our top rated software and the conversion speed is slow.

A unique feature of Jesterware’s software pack is a direct program link to YouTube. You can copy and paste the URL of your favorite videos from YouTube and download them to the program and then onto your iPod.

Jesterware also works with Windows Vista.
