u have to rip the DVD's into a video format like DivX, WMV, or something else. Than convert that into the Ipod .mov format

File > Add folder

or

File > Import

I think

If you do that, kiss quailty goodbye. I've tried tons of software, and the encoding is very sucky. Too bad iPod doesnt read AVI files. AutoGK FTW.

you gotta download a dvd ripper that rips them to your computer then you gotta get a program that converts the file to Mpeg4 which is the format supported my Ipod. Videora works great for converting. It takes a while to convert it but its a good program

it's a valid point. i have gotten some good ones off p2p, but i've gotten some real crap as well. i usually download 2 or 3 of the same movie at once to up the possibility of getting something decent.

the biggest problem comes when people try to download movies that aren't even out on dvd yet. otherwise the chances get much better that you'll get quality vids

I've had some P2P movies that I put on my ipod, it looks pretty good. Keep in mind this is like 1.4gig for like a 2 hour movie.

Thing that sux about the ipod I dont think the read buffer is big enough or something, if u have a really big file the video will sometimes play outta sync with the sound.
