I just bought a 30GB Video iPod. So far Ive gotten all my songs from my computer on there but now I want to get some videos for it. Is there a way for me to copy my DVD's onto my iPod? Or, does anyone have anyway to share some movies/videos with me?

Basically im iPod retarded and I would like to learn more. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I don't have an iPod, but if I were you, I'd use a wonderful searching tool called "Google." Into the search box, I'd put "iPod movie tutorials" or something of the like. I'd stop being a bitch if I knew. If that were the case, I'd just tell you.

it's going to require some work on your part, to rip your DVDs to your iPod.

if you have a Mac, i think this is a good tutorial:

otherwise, as e-ray said, prepare to do some reading up:

If you have a Mac, give iSquint a shot. Just drag a video clip into iSquint and choose Optimize for iPod.

check out Handbrake to rip and encode into ipod format. although I have had trouble getting the video onto the ipod, because the handbrake encoder isnt right. So I used the afformentioned iSquint. Works great. Also, the new quicktime pro has updated converting ability for ipod video.

Man, thats kinda harsh. I would have thought with the great collective minds on this board, google wouldnt be needed. Ass.

Return it and get a creative MP3 player (cheaper for the same size, plus a tuner built in), then I can help you D's.

I had 2 previous Creative players before I got an iPod. The only reason I got an iPod is because I bought an Apple Powerbook G4. I never would have gotten an iPod if I hadnt have gotten an Apple computer.

I hate people who use ipods with windows. They clutter the apple store and waste time at customer service , when there are people with legit problems.
