Our Review

We downloaded, installed, and tested CucuSoft DVD to iPod Converter to run on two test computers. One computer was "Home-Brewed" with an Athlon AMD 64 X2 4800 Dual-Core processor running at 2.4GHz, 1GB of memory, 100GB hard drive, and a Sony DRU-510A DVD/RW drive 32X (CD) and 12X (DVD). The other computer, a Gateway E06500D, with an Intel Pentium(R) running at 3GHz, 1GB of memory, 100GB hard drive, and a Plextor PX-708A DVD/RW drive (40X (CD) and 12X (DVD).

Installation and Test Results

The installation was flawless on both test computers. The original DVD movie to be converted was "Troy" (2004), a Dual-Layered DVD-9 movie starring Brad Pitt. The movie runtime was 163 minutes. 

We have found that CucuSoft DVD to iPod Converter is an easy-to-use and fast DVD to iPod converter software for Apple iPod Video devices. It can convert almost any kinds of DVD to iPod video format.
