Introduction to MediaFork

NOTE: This step-by-step guide is no longer valid, as MediaFork and Handbrake have merged into a single piece of software, though it's still valid for older versions of MediaFork. For the latest version, see the Handbrake guide.

You may be looking at your iPod and your DVD library and wondering how you can get those movies onto your iPod. There are a number of programs that can help you do this.

One of them is called MediaFork. It’s related to another program that does the same thing, Instant Handbrake. In fact, they share much of the same code, but they perform their tasks differently.

MediaFork is a more powerful, but also more complex and somewhat harder to use, version of Handbrake.

MediaFork is a program that extracts video from DVDs and converts it to iPod format to make it playable on the video iPod. This guide tells you how to get video from your DVDs onto your iPod using MediaFork.

NOTE: Be sure to only use this process with DVDs that you own. Doing this with someone else’s DVDs is theft.
