The advice I'm providing I have not personally tried.

Use MacTheRipper to rip the DVD to your hard drive, then use HandBrake to convert video from DVD to iPod (you can read the directions - 320 X 240 works well or 320 X ZZZ works well for wide screen). Once the video file is complete and in mp4 format, use QuickTime Pro to save the file in ONLY audio fomat. After the file is created, use iTunes to transfer the movie to your iPod.

Personal Rant: DO NOT STEAL MUSIC OR MOVIES. Don't 'borrow' movies from friends and family to rip to your iPod or to your hard drive. The RIAA and MPAA are rather unfriendly groups, you don't want to learn how unfriendly from first-hand experience. Use good judgement.

You don't need MacTheRipper AFAIK. HandBrake does that job good enough.

You've revived an old thread to spam? But to answer the question correctly, handbrake can be downloaded for free here: http://handbrake.m0k.org/ ... Apparently, the handbrake project and the mediafork projected have merged by now.
