Default Video Ipod question

Hi all,

I contemplating getting a video ipod and putting films well cartoons to be precise on for my son for when we travel abroad later this month.

Is it a simple case of saving the dvds onto itunes and draging them to his ipod? Or is there more to it?

I want to decide if this is the best course of action as 30 gig players are going for a good price at the moment or better to use another video player with a HD.

Hope you can help.

Regards

Esh

You need to convert the file to mp4 format then import it into Itunes.

you never need to "buy" software !

The screen is VERY small on the iPod I've got one and never use it for videos!! Probably be best buying a portable DVD player, or one of the creative Zen media center things

dvd decrypter is what you need - followed by psp video 9.

I ripped the animatrix for mine using those 2 and it works a treat, can take a little longer then expected though.
