If you only need to view them on the device Dropbox would be one way to go.

How To Copy DVDs to iPod using free software for Windows

To take existing DVDs that you have around the house and put them onto iPod:
You'll need two programs, DVD Decrypter and Videora iPod Converter.
Now, use this step by step tutorial for converting DVDs with DVD Decrypter. Note: Once you reach the part about PSP Video 9, stop watching and use the 'One Click Transcode' option in Videora to select and convert the VOB file that DVD Decrypter produces.
Once you have a converted file, add it to iTunes in the same way as music (drag it into the iTunes library) and it will automatically copy across to your iPod.

Is that an error message coming up when you try to use the program? If not, I wouldn't worry about it.
If you cannot get DVDs to rip then that could be a problem. But to be honest, I have no idea what an ASPI layer is and my copy of DVD Decrypter works fine. I suspect this is probably an integral Windows component and you already have it.

How to copy DVD

After searching the forum, I can't get a clear sense of how to copy a dvd I made with iMovie and iDVD on my wife's MacBook. I made a two DVD's on her computer a couple of years ago before we got a Mac desktop. I would like to rip/copy/transfer (?) those dvd's onto the desktop and synch them to my iPod also. Our desktop is OS X 10.5.8.
Won't you please help the lost and deficient?

use 3rd party apps such as HandBrake or _*MPEG Streamclip*_.
both have presets for iPod and TV.

How to Copy a file from iPod Touch to iMac

I have used the native "Voice Recorder" app on an iPod Touch to record lectures. Generally, when the iPod is synced with the iMac, the files are copied from the iPod to the iMac and are located in "Voice Memos" on the iMac. I have two files that didn't copy to the iMac. They are still on the iPod. I have rebooted both machines several times and tried to sync afterward. The two files remain on the iPod, but aren't on the iMac. I would like to transfer the files to a thumb drive, but I cannot access them on the iPod in order to copy or move them.
From what I've read, there used to be a function in iTunes that was "enable disk use". Then you could view the memory of the iPod and move or copy files.
The iPod has iOS 5.1.1. It is a modelMC008LL. The iMac has OS X 10.7.3, 2.93 GHz Intel processor, 24" screen, and was produced in 2009.

I used iFunBox to access the files. I was not able to copy them to the "Voice Memos" directory on the iMac, but they copied fine to the Desktop on the iMac. That is puzzling to me.
Using iFunBox, I looked at a directory on the iPod called Raw File System. I was looking at voice memos. Several had five or more duplicates. The duplicates aren't visible on the iPod itself. I also found a Quick Time Movie file that I didn't recall. When I launched it, there was only sound. It was a voice memo that I had recorded five years ago. After recording it, I could not find it on the iPod. It appeared to be deleted and I had been careful to not delete it. I don't understand how it ended up as an .mov file as opposed to an .m4a file. The iFunBox app showed that file under the Raw File System and also under the Voice Memos directory.
I like the audio quality of the Voice Memo recordings, but its file handling is quirky.
Thank you for suggesting iFunBox. It allowed me to solve the problem of getting two files off of the iPod that I couldn't do in the normal way and I discovered and recovered a file that had been hidden for five years.

How to copy everything from my ipod, back to my itunes library? Crashed external hard drive- containing all music/media that was linked to itunes.

My external hard drive crashed and that is where I had all of my music/media files. I do have some content on another external drive, but not all (and not my movies, etc).
How can I copy everything, from my ipod classic, back to my itunes on my PC with Windows XP?

The media is laid out on the iPod in a completely different stucture to that used by iTunes. However, if all your files on the iPod have tags (i.e. are not wav files) then you can try the following:
Create a new empty library by holding down shift and clicking the icon to launch iTunes, then select Create. Choose a location with enough room for your media, ideally on the same drive letter your missing media folder used to be on.
Copy the contents of \iPod_Control\Music into the Automatically add to iTunes folder of the new library.
Move the resulting iTunes Media folder into the location that your current library expects to find it. (If you can't do this for some reason move on to the next step, then use my FindTracks script to reconnect your media)
Hold down shift and click the icon to launch iTunes, then select Choose and select your original library.

Please help - how to copy DVD to computer so that it will play on computer

I apologize if this is the wrong forum, but I am stuck. I have a DVD of my son-in-law's memorial service that I need to copy onto my computer in a playable form. The DVD itself works great on both the TV, and on the computer (playing with iDVD on the latter). However, I simply do not know how to copy the contents of the DVD to my hard drive so that it will play directly from the drive, and so that I can place the video file in my .Mac public folder for relatives to download. When I open (not play) the DVD, I see two folders: AUDIO_TS which is empty, and VIDEO_TS, which contains files. I have copied these to my hard drive, and I have also made a disk image of the DVD on my drive. However, neither of these gives me a file on which I can click and get it to play. (If I insert the DVD itself into the computer, iDVD launches and the movie plays). Please help. Thank you!

How to copy music from the iPod to iTunes ??

Hello,
I use iTunes since some months and have bought several songs at iTunes. Now I also bought an iPod and copied the music from iTunes to my iPod.
Because my harddisk was almost full I deleted most songs in my iTunes directory because I thought it is possible to copy music from the iPod to iTunes ... i.e. I thought that the music on my iPod is like a backup.
But now I it seems impossible to copy music back to my computer. Are all those sond lost ?
Dear experts: Is there any possibility to get my music back to my computer ?
I hope someone can help.
Regards
Michael

You can't sync or drag your non iTMS music back directly from an iPod to iTunes. The transfer of non iTMS content is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve individual music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

The transfer of purchased content to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7, look under under File>"Transfer Purchases from iPod". A paragraph on it has been added to this article: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer

How to copy Video files to iPod without using iTunes???

Hi there ..
I have the latest iPod Video 80GB.
If I copy video files larger than 640 pixels iTunes stops me.
But, I don't trust apple folks.
In the previous iPod it didn't matter the width unless you had a total number of pixels inferior to 480x480 (Mpeg4)
Now iPod 5.5G says 640x480=307200 pixels is the max.
If I have a 736x416=306176
But iTunes doesn't let me copy such files into the iPod.
I WANT TO check if at Apple just don;t want me to have such files copied or if the iPod itself can't play them for real!!!!!
SO Anyone knows of an utility or a way to just copy such files to the iPod so that the database is refreshed and I can test them???
thank you.

How to Copy DVDs

I hope that this is an elementary question, so please someone enlighten me on my ignorance.
I would like to :
1) copy DVD's that I created in IMovie/DVD (my own videos, no copyright, so I should be able to do it!)
2) re-edit portions of DVDs that I previously created IMovie/IDVD
Can I do this with IMovie/DVD? Or do I need to buy/download another program such as Toast to accomplish this?
I thought that I was saving so much room by copying all my videotapes to DVD and then I realized that I couldn't copy them! I am a synchronized swim coach, and often need to make multiple copies of previous routine performances for my swimmers, and it just doesn't seem to be obvious to me.

Hi Dale and welcome to the forums!
1. You can clone/copy your own home-made DVDs in Disk Utility, but Toast is much easier to use for this.
2. This requires a bit more work as you are 'retro-engineering' a delivery format not intended for editing!
You need to convert the VOB files back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
which is free, as well as the the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
which is a mere $20.
Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal. (I have to add that!)
If you know you will need multiple (but identical) copies of a DVD, then it is better to save the project as a Disk Image and burn copies from that. This saves all the rendering time from the first copy.
If you need multiple, but all slightly different, copies, then you will have to find room somewhere for the original iMovie project, which you can re-edit before sending to iDVD.
