MadZ Software has announced the release of version 2.5 of its DVD to iPod / PSP Video Converter software, an application that rips DVD video files and converts them into the appropriate format for uploading to and viewing on an Apple iPod Video or a Sony PSP.

According to the company, the app can convert almost all DVDs for play on an iPod Video or Sony PSP, including purchased DVDs, original DVDs, DVD copies, even downloaded DVDs. The input video can be in either NTSC or Pal format. For multilanguage DVDs, you can even choose which soundtrack language to convert. You also have full control over which titles and chapters are converted. Also, you can control the output format such as setting a custom sample rate for audio and custom resolution and bit rate (quality vrs. size) for video.

DVD to iPod / PSP Video Converter also features a preview function that allows you to preview DVD title and/or specific chapters prior to conversion or monitor the video during the conversion process.

The software works with Windows XP and 2000 and retails for $24.95.
