The iPod Touch 5's screen may not be huge, but it's definitely a little nicer for watching movies than the old screen. Consequently, you may want to rip some of your Blu-ray movies to take advantage of the extra screen estate. If so, you've come to the right place. In this article, I will show you how to put Blu-ray movies to iPod Touch 5 and what my software setup was. If this is something you're interested in doing, read this full guide below.

First, the most important piece of the equation is that you have a Blu-Ray Ripping software hooked to your Windows or Mac PC. Most of you are likely familiar with the excellent Handbrake for ripping standard Def DVDs, but while the latest version of the software has added SOME support for reading Blu-Ray folder structures, it cannot yet decrypt the Blu-Ray discs yet copy-protected DVD discs the way it can with regular DVDs, so you'll need to add an intermediate step. The software you'll need is called Pavtube Blu-ray Ripper (Currently on sale - 40% Off).

Overall, the program can be used as an excellent Mac OS X/Windows Blu-ray to iPod Touch 5 Converter utility for ripping videos from Blu-rays (DVDs included) and saving them in various formats -- including MP4 files that are playable by the iPhone/iPod Touch. It has been updated to include the ability to generate iPod-Touch-5-compatible anamorphic video at its full size. It also has outputs for all the other iPod models, as well as the Apple TV, iPad and iPhone. (Alas, the fifth-gen iPhone isn't on the list, though any of the iPhone 4 preset outputs should work just fine.) Just download it and follow this quick guide for moving Blu-ray video to your iPod Touch 5.

If you like, you can click "Settings" to change the video encoder, resolution, frame rate, etc. as you wish. Keep in mind that bitrate higher results in big file size, and lower visible quality loss, and vice versa.

Step 3: Start to convert Blu-ray to iPod Touch 5 MP4 videos. After all of preparations have been done, you can just click "Convert" button on the lower right side of this program.

After getting the converted movies files, you can transfer the converted Blu-ray videos to iPod Touch 5 via iTunes. If you don't know how to sync video files with iPod 5, just follow the steps to realize it:
