Hi everyone, I used to watch DVD’s at home with ease but since now it’s become a little difficult to watch them at home I have been using an iPod.But the problem is that they do not support the DVD format and if I convert them somehow with software they mess up the quality of the movie. Does anyone know of better software to convert dvd movies to ipod format?

What do you mean mess up the quality? Any converter is going to have to reduce the quality so it can play on an ipod. Why not just get a cheap, compact, portable DVD player so you won't be breaking copyright laws?

Check out this free program to convert to ipod.

If you own the DVD, what laws are broken by converting from DVD to ipod? And there is a huge difference between the size of an ipod and the smallest DVD player.

You own the DVD, but not the movie and its copyright. For instance, this software...

...has the following warning:

You may only use this software to copy material in which you own the copyright or have obtained permission to copy from the copyright owner. If you do not own the copyright or you have not obtained the permission to copy from the copyright owner, you may be violating copyright law and you may be subject to claims for damages and/or criminal penalties.

I'm pretty sure nobody is going to come after you for making a copy of the DVD your purchased to play on your ipod. It's not like you are distributing it.

Good news for you…..I too use my ipod to watch DVD movies and have been using *removed* for a while now. It has great converting features and is easily useable for a newbie. I think that this will be a better choice for you as you are new to conversion and this is user friendly.

All the Best.

Another spam duo posting, one user asking the question, 2nd user w/ the answer (most likely the same person). I do believe this thread may soon be closed, edited/deleted, maybe bust out the banhammer. :P
Here's another forum w/ the same word-for-word postings of Isaac & joycee here:

Way to go spammers.
