You probably have dozens of home videos and favorite movies burnt on DVDs. Wouldn't it be nice if you could watch you little sister's wedding, your high school graduation or even re-live parts of your backpacking trip to Europe on your Zune player? Or maybe you could make the train commute to work less boring by watching your favorite movie!
The Microsoft Zune player is one of the best handheld multimedia devices today. It is probably the only media player out there actually giving Apple's iPod a run for its money. With the Zune, you not only enjoy your favorite MP3s, but also the latest innovation of Microsoft that lets you play videos while you are on the go.
However, you need to understand that the Zune will only play a specific video file format. This means that your average MPEG-1, MPEG-2,DivX, MOV, QuickTime, MP4, and AVI video file format will never play on your Zune. So, if you want to play your favorite videos on your Zune player, you may want to get a software program that will be able to convert your computer video files to the video file format that Zune can play.
If you would like to convert unprotected movie DVDs to Zune format, there are many video conversion products that are capable of converting DVD video to a format that can be played on the Zune. Many of these products are general purpose toolkits. They can convert almost any kind of video to almost any other format, but the number of different options they offer makes the process a bit complicated.
Some conversion tools perform the conversion in two stages. They rip the video to an uncompressed video (usually AVI format) and then convert the AVI video to the Windows Media WMV format used by your Zune. This takes twice as long, and also requires a lot more disk space, since the AVI file produced by the first stage of the conversion is much larger than the final output.
With only a couple of clicks, a Zune Video Converter can convert movies and video straight to Zune Video format then move them directly to your Zune.
There are dozens of programs available, making it hard for the die hard Zune consumer to know which one they should spend their hard earned money on.
You should look for a program with:
#an easy to use interface
#a fast conversion rate
# that produces good audio and video quality
The manufacturers are now offering video (DVD) to Zune converters and Zune to DVD converters in the same package, giving you more bang for your buck!
