A-one DVD to iPod Ripper is program with a name that perfectly explains its purpose - it allows you to rip DVD videos and prepare them for iPod devices (MP4).

The app is wrapped in a plain and simple-to-use interface. You can import a DVD clip by selecting its source drive or by using the folder view. Unfortunately, you cannot work with multiple DVD videos in a single session.

So, all you have to do is specify the output directory and initialize the encoding procedure with the default settings.

If you are an experienced user, then you can modify audio and video parameters when it comes to the size, frame rate, bit rate, aspect ratio and channel mode. Too bad you cannot restore settings to default or create output profiles.

Additionally, you can preview clips in a built-in media player and trim them by marking the start and end position, select the audio track and subtitle language, as well as set A-one DVD to iPod Ripper to power off the computer automatically after conversion and to preview the DVD scene picture.

A-one DVD to iPod Ripper needs a moderate amount of system resources to finish a task in reasonable briefly. It includes a help file and generally delivers videos with a good image and sound quality. However, it failed to copy the audio stream in several examples during our tests. Also, you cannot specify the number of CPU cores in use.
