as long as you got the 5th generation iPod video.

first you gotta get a dvd to iPod converter, I recommend you try or buy the intervideo iVideoToGo (( http://www.intervideo.com/ivideotogo... )) this is very reliable. but on the free trial, it takes a while to convert an hour and half movie; longer if its like LOTR: return of the king. and it might freeze up on you, just press ctrl + alt + delete to unfreeze it. it only cost about 20 dollars. plus it only takes you to convert the DVD in 3 easy steps: 1. find the dvd file 2. find a destination folder 3. convert as mpeg4 file and press CONVERT (the little button on the bottom right-corner) by the way, the dvd has to be an mpeg4 file and in quicktime version. so the file will read "[title of movie].mov"
that's why you need a converter for the DVD you can't just import the dvd to the ipod. that violates the copyright of the DVD.

second: once you convert it. put the file into a folder where it can be easily found. then go to your iTunes (if you don't have it yet, get it at http://www.apple.com/iTunes ) and go to file > import file > select the movie file > and click ok to import file.

there you have it. you got a movie to watch. enjoy it with a bowl of popcorn.

I agree with Titans Fan...I use Videora and it works great. If you get also download a dvd ripping program you can copy some of your dvds to your computer and use videora to convert them to mp4 and watch them on your ipod

Handbrake will copy your DVD's to MP4
and iTunes will convert your MP4 to M4V (iPod format)

Answer 6

Apple use a form of mpeg4 with aac audio for the iPod.
It is rather fussy & annoying :(
But there are many mpeg transcoders available on the web.
