Ipod nano

I am Ipod illiterate. I am wondering if you can somehow download movies you own on DVD onto your ipod and not have to rebuy them from the internets.

Thanks!

Re: Ipod nano
Heh. No, I like to listen to movies while I'm doing house renovation stuff. I see the movie in my head while I'm getting things done. I'm really a geek and love to have LOTR blaring while I'm painting and such and DH doesn't like it so much. So I thought a video ipod would be beneficial to all concerned. I also thought imagining Aragorn in a few of my favorite scenes would make my runs fly by. I also like to "view" Gladiator this way.

Thanks,
Jello

You can take your own dvds and get them on your ipod. It will require some software to do it though. The decent stuff isn't free.
You'll need something to remove the copy protection and then a program to convert the movie to the format the ipod can use.

Go to ilounge.com where they have detailed tutorials on how to do it.

If that's all you're doing, you might have an easier time with copyright protection if you can find some audio software and just record the movies - I used to do that when I was in radio to use sound clips, and I don't recall having any protection issues.
