I have a video ipod, and I cant rip dvds to my computer in a format playable by my ipod, so is it legal download them from a file sharing website as long as i own the actual DVD ?

I would say no. There is little proof that you legally own the material in one form, nor that the person you are downloading it from legally owns the material. You're much better off not touching or downloading any copywritten content off of the internet unless you have purchased it directly (like a song from itunes).
There are alternatives:

These are a few of many, many guides available that explain how to rip DVDs to a video Ipod.

If you do not purchase the rites to own the movie then it is piracy.

They could still bring about a lawsuit against you for this, yes. I know it's retarded - but they can.

Hi. No. The industry will still sue if they catch you.

it is still illegal
have you tried uploading the video to youtube, or itunes, its also possible that you are not able to upload it to your ipod, because they want you to only buy their moveis
