I'm interested in knowing more about how MC handles DVDs and encoding the DVDs. I experienced a taste of bliss when I took a video and dropped it onto a 3g Nano. It essentially automatically took the movie and converted it. When syncing the same DVDs from a playlist, it didn't work at all. It gave an error.
I noticed a new field called "DVD Rip" that appeared when syncing the DVD from dragging it to the iPod. I couldn't edit the field. If I was able to edit it then theoretically it would be easy to sync any part of the DVD!
I'm having difficulty holding back my cries because if what seems like a minor bug was fixed, it would be so incredibly beyond what I could have ever asked for! Imagine the ability to sync any DVD that quickly!!! I also noticed the time estimator was way off and started with ~10 minutes and gradually increased until it said 3.5 hours. It then finished several minutes later. It might have taken 2-3 hours or so. The second time I got it to work no audio got copied over. It would be nice if a playlist could be used to sync, too. Any idea what is going on? Is this ability intended and built in to MC? I would greatly appreciate assistance! You're almost there! And with iPhone support, my portable video experience will be blissful as well! I'm hoping for the best on the 14th at Macworld!
