The software is called Cucusoft iPod Video Converter Suite,
It is pretty simple actually,
It can even put the movies on your PSP
when you have it installed, all you have to do is click on the shortcut
then select the Run DVD to iPod Covnerter (its actually spelt that way)
when the screen pops up, click on open dvd, the dvd should be labeld so you can find it easiely
then sometimes the dvd will have more than just the movie to install, so you click on the ones that you dont want, usually the actuall movie has the most frames, but you can check them if you like, by pressing play on the screen.
when you have all the ones that you have selected then you can choose if you want subtitles or not, when your all done, just click on the big CONVERT button, then watch tv, cause it takes awhile and you wont be using the computer while its doing this cause it slows down the computer alot, o if i seems that the screen has frozen after awhile, its just that its going to screensaver...its just that slow.
so once it is done go to iTunes and select Add File To Library, then go to the folder you save them in, and click on the dvd you just converted, once you update the iPod it should automatically transfer it to the iPod, if you went to iPod options and have it automatically do that.
Also, before you start converting the DVD you might want to go ahead and label it so it saves time later.
I hope this helps you.... and that it doesnt put you to sleep.
Goodluck with the iPod
