IPOD Video

[The Wanderer]

I have just bought a 30GB Video Ipod. Can i put DVD films on this? I tried last night using DVD Shrink but couldn't drag and drop the file in the library even though I Tunes said this is how to do it? Can anyone help please?

If you're using an OS other than windows, use this guide:

If you're using windows (I suspect you are), then try this:

fo3nix comes up trumps again - thanks.

If you're prepared to pay (or hack) and want an easy way, then look at imTOO or Clone DVD mobile among others.

As wideboy says, there are other ways to do it that are easier, but this costs you. The guides above are free. Personally I don't think you should have to pay to get the full functionality out of the iPod you have bought.

You should make sure the video is MP4 or H2.64 video for iPod. Here is a step by step guide about converting DVD, Videos, Flash and Youtube videos to iPod
