How do I transfer legally Owned DVD's to my iPod Video?

I got a new iPod Video for christmas and I want to know how to take my own personal DVD's and transfer them to my iPod. I've read lots of threads about this subject but I haven't been successful in transfering anything. I downloaded Videora and DVDFab Decrypter but I don't know how to use them. I also found a lot of feedback saying that it would be illegal to transfer DVD's to the iPod and all I can say to that is, that's absolutely ridiculous. I bought the DVD's legally and should be able to transfer them. I paid for them and I don't plan on selling them to anyone else so explain to me what's illegal about it. I think that preventing us from transfering DVD's is just another way for Apple to make money. Eventually they'll come out with a Movie library in iTunes that you'll have to pay for, they already have music videos and tv shows. The other thing that really ****** me off is that in no way do they make clear that you're not allowed to transfer DVD's to your iPod. I think that a lot of people assumed along with me that you can transfer any movies you wanted to the iPod without a problem and the fact that you can't is a serious question in my mind as to whether or not Apple has committed fals advertising. Apple products are already priced much higher than they should be and I feel that this is just another way for them to make money. Sorry I needed to rant. Can anyone help me transfer my DVD's to my iPod? Or direct me towards some other 3rd party programs that might work easier?

"Why would anyone want to stare at that little screen for 2+ hours... I dont think apple false advertised at ALL...
Watching a movie would just kill your battery and waste a lot of space on your iPod which was first intended for music..
Pretty common sense if you ask me."
whowhat I think that a lot of people want to watch movies on the new iPod otherwise the software that transfer DVD's to iPod's wouldn't exist. And I'm sorry but what is the point of making an iPod video if you can't watch movies on it? so that you can watch a music video for 3 minutes? or your choice of 5 tv shows or however many there are? I don't think so. I just feel that if I pay $400 for a new iPod and I spend $20 on a movie, I shouldn't have to pay an extra $30 just so I can get the software that puts DVD's onto my iPod. Obviously if I'm at home I'm not going to sit and stare at the iPod but the whole point of an iPod is that you can have all your music and all your videos on the go when you're on a plane or a train or a long car ride. I just think it's bull **** the way apple does business making everything overpriced and all I'm saying is that when I bought the new iPod I expected that I would be able to put my own movies onto the iPod. And even though when you buy a DVD you're buying the right to view it, not the rights to it, all I would be doing is viewing it on my iPod, how is that wrong?

    presuming you mean home made dvd's, not commercial dvd's....Handbrake is a great program to convert file types. You then sync those via iTunes to your device.
    If it's commercial dvd's, you're on your own because no one here can help you break the encryption on those.

  • How do I transfer my music and apps from my ipod touch 4g to a new computer?

    The hard drive on my old computer failed so I no longer have access to my itunes library that was saved onto that computer. Is there anyway I can transfer my music and apps to my new computer? I would prefer not using one of those shady online tools... I don't want to lose any of my music or apps since I have some paid ones on there. I'm afraid that if I connect it to the new computer then everything will be lost. If that happens the I'll never be able to get any of my music and apps back (or at least it'll be real difficult). Can anyone please please please help me?

    Is there a way to put my own DVD movies on my iPod touch?

    Are these home-made movies or commercial? If commercial we cannot discuss here
    For your movies, you can use handbrake to create a file (there ia an iPod Touch preset) and then import into iTunes and sync over.

    You should be able to transfer iTunes purchases as described on the page that you posted from i.e. File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. For music from other sources (e.g CDs) then if you don't have them on a backup that you can copy them from, then there are some programs listed half-way down this page that might be able to copy them from the iPod : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

    How can I transfer a system recovery dvd to create a bootable system recovery usb. I have another pc.

    Do you have only 1 dvd or several? I have seen others attempt this with a multiple dvd set and fail miserably. With 1 dvd you might have a chance. Create an ISO from the dvd with something like ImgBurn or other cd/dvd burning tool that can create an ISO file from a disc.
    Once you have the ISO file use Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool  to create a usb Recovery. It was created for Windows7 but works on other ISO files.

  • How can I transfer a purchased dvd to my iPad?

    How can I transfer a DVD (that I purchased) onto my ipad to watch at a later time?

    You really can't.
    Technically, you'd need to crack the copyright protection software to rip the DVD. Since that is illegal in the US, we can't tell you how to do that.
    The recommendation we can give here is for you to purchase an iTunes copy or a version of the DVD that may have a digital copy and then sync that onto your device.
    Anything beyond that you'll need to look elsewhere.

    How can I transfer music from my iPhone to my iPad.?
    I no longer have a PC. Mine died and cannot be restored. It had iTunes with my entire music library on it.

    If you are running an OS of 5.0 or higher, you should be able to use the iCloud to sync both devices together & share music.
