Please remember that it is illegal to copy a film or movie onto your device if in fact you do not own the original DVD disk. Every country has different copyright laws so please check to see what you can and cannot do.
The first step is to download a DVD movie/film convertor for your iPod, there are many of these currently available on the market and a quick google search will quickly point you in the right direction. For the puropses of this tutorial Im going to use Lenogo convertor.
Step one
Download the movie convertor onto your PC and follow the instructions to install the software.
Step two
Place a DVD into your DVD drive on your computer and launch the application.
Step three
Click the open button and a dialog box will appear, simply click OK if you wish to convert the DVD movie/film into an iPod file and continue to the next step.
Step four
You will now be presented with information on your DVD file and most likely a table of contents of the DVD movie to be converted. A simple click on the plus sign will expand the tree and you may (depending on the software you use) have to change the DVD title. To do this use the edit box to input your desired title, this will also be your filename for your iPod file. Again to choose a subtitle simply select the corresponding title item, (most likely the longest chapter) and repeat the steps for selecting a main title. Audio selection is just a case referring to the operation of title and subtitle selection.
Step five
Next we have to save the file and the usual selection is save as this will store your movie file onto your hard disk, to change the filename or directory location just select browse.
Step six
Lets convert. Hit the convert button to star converting your DVD to an iPod file onto your computer. Most applications also let you see a preview on the right hand side of the pane.
Step seven
After a few minutes (depending on file size and the speed of your PC) your conversion will be complete. The folder where you stored your file will automatically open and if you wish convert another movie simply select the edit option in the menu and go to step three.
Step eight
To import your file to your iPod you need to launch iTunes and select File and Add file to library. Locate your MP4 file on your hard drive, load it on your iPod and now you can enjoy your movie on the go with your video iPod.

Professionals do not content themselves with making plans. They implement them and follow through on them.
Writing the script is not exactly planning. However, the resulting script forms the basis for all decisions that have to be made to prep up production. Having no script will prevent you from costing the program, designing its look, determining the crew and equipment needed, listing the locations or sets, budgeting the production or setting a schedule. Only a true script can provide the means to plan as opposed to an outline no matter how long it is. Non-fiction programs typically use a two-column (audio and video) formatted script to include complete narration and essential audio as well as the visuals.
Contrary to popular belief that special effects belong in post production, the most convincing effects are fully planned in pre-production so that every detail can be seamlessly integrated by implementing the plan. That is why it is important to develop these special effects before you start scouting for locations and budgeting props. Compositing and computer graphics can only do so much without the right foundation.
Budgeting and scheduling come together. Whereas scheduling brings the right cast members, crews and equipment to the right location at the designated time, budgeting is equally crucial no matter if the people are paid by the hour, day or simply donating their time. Good planning allows for considerable savings as being able to shoot all scenes that require the use of a prop that costs $200 a day back-to-back so that it can be returned as soon as possible.
A contingency plan should always exist. This is about being able to shoot something else if certain problems are encountered such as inclement weather or absence of an actor. Good production planners budget the show on an itemized scale. Very few people have the luxury of having unlimited funds and even if you do have such funds, it is not wise at all to be spending it on unnecessary things.
Through experience, you will find out soon enough that not everything happens exactly the way we want it to. That is why it is very important to pay attention to other details that might lead to some unwanted effects on the finished product and the budget. Mistakes mean lose of money. Always check your subjec background, foreground, balance, tension and consistency. The color composition is a major part of many motion pictures and it is a bad idea to neglect to put it to good and maximum use.
The size of the project and the budget determines the type and source of talent. Another consideration would be the demands that are to be placed on the talent in terms of acting ability, memorization of lines and other artistic needs. There are about 5 major pools of talent from which to get one from. These are family and friends, members of the organization for which the project is being done, professional in the fields being portrayed, theatre and media students from local schools and theatre groups and professional actors and voice talents.
Friends and family is the cheapest and most convenient option but not necessarily the easiest group to work with. The use of members of the organization for which the project is being produced can be rewarding, successful and easy on the pocket. Extreme care should be taken when selecting the talent as he /she should be one who can accept direction and occasional criticism. Casting real people engaged in the profession supposedly played by the character is always a good option. They can probably provide real characterization to the role instead of training an actor to do the work.
Community theatre groups, high school and college theatre groups are usually willing to work on projects at a lesser cost, a copy of the finished product or even for gas money. A thing to remember about theatre students is that they tend to project their voices and gestures to an audience that is far away. Adjustments may have to be made to adapt to the intimacy of the video screen.
Professional talents are paid to do the work they do. Thus, there is an often an implication that they are more experienced and more talented. However, there are some that actually do not even have the experience of local theatre members but are nevertheless considered professional talents by virtue of their membership to an Actors Guild. You can take the time to check their performance credentials just to be sure.
Casting can be a very tedious process especially if you do not go in prepared with an idea of what you want. There are times that you may need to give in to certain compromises if what was originally desired cannot possibly be had under certain circumstances. Hiring a good voice talent is just as important as the on-camera talent. The voices used in the film can make or break your production.
While youre at it, why not do some camera exercises to help make your work more professional looking. The key lies in practice. Running a camcorder is a tricky balancing act that demands a wide range of skills both physically and mentally. The first thing to practice is how to have the camera rolling in time for the big moment. The next is to simulate a classic trouble situation by running an obstacle course just to see how steady your grip remains. Finally, get some practice with manual focusing for advanced variations.

The title was a lie, but whoever believes that a number of titles mentioned in article in a dating website can in fact mend a broken heart has not had her heart torn in several parts enough to understand that not even surgery can fix that. However, as wounds are theoretically able to close up by themselves, and as the platelets are bound to crowd skin openings, then so does a broken heart heal over time, and it’s great to have help while waiting for that time to arrive.
Lots of people claim that chocolate has a chemical substance that raises the level of happiness in a person. Some even volunteer the name of the substance. Whatever. As long as it’s chocolate, it’s good for your emotional health. Perhaps it’s no coincidence that the variety of chocolate matches the transition of a healing heart: darkness, bitterness, peace – that corresponds to white chocolate, if you must know. In the darkness of your room with only the glare of the TV screen to guide you, any color of chocolate will taste just fine.
Be sure to get enough blankets and to dress in your rattiest pajamas. Never mind the Kleenex: with clothes as ratty as yours, facial tissue will look too divine to blow on. Besides, with a nose as runny as yours, nothing but 100% cotton will do.
When you’ve got junk food and your DVD player all set, you’re ready to watch:
Bridget Jones’s Diary. This is the ultimate breakup movie. Chubby girl, as chubby as most of us feel after being dumped, suffers through major fuckups she has brought upon herself. She says and does the wrong things and manages to hook up with her playboy boss. The dialogues in the movie are so honest and hilarious you can almost always point at a specific moment in your life when, you swear, the same thing happened to you. The opening number by a tear-stricken, drunk-as-hell Bridget singing “All by Myself” is particularly interesting and familiar. You’ll see Bridget stumble and pick up herself all over the place.
The best thing about this flick is its honesty. You can never ever say, even if she does fish out two gorgeous men in the entertainment business, that it only happens in the movies. Bridget is such the average type of girl that everybody can relate to. And with a Mark Darcy waiting for you somewhere out there, who wants your ex-boyfriend?
True to its chic-flick promise, Bridget Jones’s Diary leaves you with a feeling that despite everything, somebody can and will still love you, ratty pajamas and all.
Mean Girls. It’s always fun to be a girl again, and what better way to look back at girlhood than to revisit high school? Mean Girls is the good old teenybopper take on the life of angst-ridden, depressive young adults who only care about clothes, boys, and boys. This film is a good way to spend time looking down on their shallowness even when, deep inside, you know you were one of them.
Mean Girls is about the new girl Cady, who tries to fit in high school – the first time she ever attends an actual school as she has been home schooled her whole life. The most elite group of girls take her in, but the problem is she likes the ex-boyfriend of the “Queen Bee”, and coming on to him would apparently defy the rules of feminism – big time.
She gets rejected anyway. And she tries all sorts of pranks and plans to inflict some sort of pain upon Regina (the Queen Bee) while keeping her “cool” status. This she does to the point of losing her real friends.
Mean Girls is a critical peek into high school. It is fun, entertaining, and peppered with handsome football jocks. Everything turns out right in the end, of course, a must for every movie you watch after a breakup. It says that you should be accepted for what you are and not for the people you hang out with or the length of your skirt. But aside from that, the flick’s got a good and well-written story, courtesy of Tina Fey from Saturday Night Live.
50 First Dates. Now once you’ve accepted that what has happened to you happens to practically everyone, and once you’re sure that you won’t be throwing stones at the TV anymore upon seeing couples make out in movies, 50 First Dates is the movie of choice to, yes, reminisce the good times. Cry all you want as playboy Henry falls in love with Lucy, who has memory that lasts only a day long.
Henry decides to make Lucy fall in love with him everyday. The idea alone makes your heart melt, and at some point you might go back to this article and throw stones at it instead for making you miss your ex more. Cry this movie may make you, but crying is good for the health too. It doesn’t end a fairy tale romance, but it does in a more plausible manner that can possibly be more romantic. And it leaves you with a positive attitude towards love so that you won’t have to drown in your bitterness for the rest of your life.
Wallowing in blankets, chocolates, and ice cream in front of the TV is not cliche. It’s just a girl’s way of recovering and recharging in order to get back into action after some time. These movies will help you cry, laugh, get mad, and finally get over the past – that, along with a good set of friends and junk food always by your side. After all three you might want to see The 40-year-old Virgin, if only just to laugh and to be thankful that you’re not this poor, poor guy.

Producer Sharon Schaveet: owner of Biblical Productions "I took Jerusalem and transformed it into a business" by Tali Heruti-Sover, Ha’aretz, September 9, 2008
Sharon Schaveet believes that rocks are one of Israel’s great resources." People don’t understand the potential hidden in our history", she says, "nor that the exportation of architecture can be a major financial sector. It is actually a broad entrepreneurial base that remains, for the time being, unexploited." Just as it should be. Schaveet, a proud resident of Jerusalem and an enthusiastic initiator of projects, already established one prospering venture, not surprisingly named Biblical Productions, for international film projects, and is planning yet another – a portal titled "I Love Jerusalem".
She has already registered ILJ as a trademark and invested 100,000 NIS of her own personal funds; she has no doubt that within a couple of months, the website will be seen by everybody interested in visiting Jerusalem, as well as in purchasing a wealth of products with the new logo. "At this point I’m looking for strategic partners, and I’m certain that this venture will make me very wealthy", she says.
The fact that Jerusalem is loaded with virtual international information (the municipal website, or Nir Barkat’s Go Jerusalem) doesn’t bother her. "With all due respect to Nir Barkat, the content I bring is entirely different. There’s not a rock in Jerusalem that I don’t know and this fact is reflected in my work. The website in question will be interactive, and will contain the experience and information I’ve accumulated in the last 15 years, through both international work and the web".
Schaveet, now 43 and recently divorced, has one child and spent her childhood between air-force bases. Her father, who was a pilot and a well-known commander in the force, is now a businessman. At one point, her family spent some time in the USA on a mission, and during that time she became familiar with the local language and culture – assets that would subsequently serve her well. She served on the air-force operations staff during her army service and, after her discharge, studied International Relations in the Hebrew University but wanted to work in a production company. "I did everything, from coffee girl to research assistant. I took anything I could get." She spent three years working as an employee and when she felt she’d learned enough, she opened her own company. "I never liked bosses", she says, "I have initiative in my blood. It’s difficult and wonderful all at once."
Schaveet was aware of the market when she started her career. In 1993 there were already quite a number of production companies doing what she did – documentary and international co-productions. "There’s always been an amazing documentary industry in Israel", she says, "but I’m not afraid of competition. I’ve learned that where there’s competition – there’s money."
Her distinctiveness is geographic – "The entire industry is concentrated in Tel Aviv and I thought that Jerusalem has a lot to offer. The international industry is interested in the capitol in particular. I realized that this niche was neglected, and decided to specialize in it. I transformed Jerusalem into a vocation." She also did a strategic about-turn and went on from production to providing logistic services for international production companies. "I realized that I hold a treasure in my hands", she says. "I know production processes but I’m also familiar with any imaginable location, all the authorities who provide licensing, all the hotels, photographers, work teams…why not transform all that into a small company that provides services to big companies? International TV networks and independent production companies that come to Israel to film documentaries need excellent production logistics partners. If they have a positive experience, they’ll come back."
“My clients are my priority”
How does a self-employed woman market herself in this world? She sets up a website in English that describes her as a One Stop Shop: Biblical Productions provides for all your needs in Israel. She invested six full months in research for the project, learned how to set up a website, what content to put up, and also how to successfully promote it. "It was innovative at the time", she says, "Competitors hadn’t yet identified the Internet potential and I was alone. The site served me marvelously. I made sure it had exhaustive quality content, it was like announcing to surfers: I am a professional and you are in good hands". Now all she had to do was wait for her first customer.
"Americans only work with letters of recommendation, and I needed someone to break the ice". Redemption appeared in the form of a small Los Angeles firm. "I was ready to work for free, to pay them for the privilege", she recounts, "I was so excited! I gave it all my heart".
The rest, as they say, is history. One thing led to another, her name was passed on and requests started coming in; clients such as Discovery and the USA History Channel became satisfied customers. The fact that she had spent time in the States established her business approach. "I always aim to stay within the budget as this is extremely important to the client and to me", she says, “but sometimes changes in the schedule can have an impact.” “But I respect my clients enormously”, Schaveet adds, “and I always try to work things out the best and most affordable way for their production in Israel. And you need to be professional to the end. Aside from the production work, I make an effort to introduce them to Jerusalem’s culinary highlights and beautiful corners".
Looking to the distant future, when she won’t be able to rush about between locations, she is working on additional developments, such as the large film archive she owns. Documentary shorts on archeology that she produced are available to all buyers. A large firm recently sought to buy her out. "It’s flattering", she admits, "but it’s not what I want right now. What good would that be?"
Schaveet’s feverish mind is already at work in a new direction – the Grand Jerusalem Tourism portal. The commercial potential, she believes, is immense, but her nightmare is a sudden Intifada. "My business ventures require peace and quiet", she says. "There should only not be any wars".

Film producer Steve Nguyen profiles Quentin Lee, an Asian gay film writer and director. He is most notable for Ethan Mao (2004), Drift (2000), Flow (1996), and the film short To Ride a Cow (1993).
Lee also co-directed Shopping For Fangs with Justin Lin, known for his controversial film Better Luck Tomorrow. Lee’s films are noticeable for containing male lead characters who are Asian and gay, two minority groups generally not seen as lead characters in mainstream Hollywood films.
Born in Hong Kong, Lee immigrated to Montreal, Canada, when he was 16. He attended UC Berkeley, Yale University and UCLA for his B.A. in English, M.A. in English and M.F.A. in film directing respectively.
Lee’s first foray into documentary film, 0506HK, premiered July 2007 at the Vancouver International Film Centre Hong Kong Stories film series, commemorating the 10-year anniversary of Hong Kong’s handover to China. The film explored his personal and political perspectives on whether to return to Hong Kong, as well as the evolving cultural and social climate, through interviews with family members and friends living and working in both Hong Kong and Los Angeles.
Lee is currently in the post-production process of his new feature film titled “The People I’ve Slept With” alongside Koji Steven Sakai which stars Karin Anna Cheung, Wilson Cruz, Archie Kao, and James Shigueta.
