Answer 2

HandBrake is your friend, your very, very good friend.

Make sure you set to "iPod low-res" or "iPod high-res."

Not really illegal if you own the DVD, per the "Betamax decision" by the US Supreme Court.

Answer 7

u can but it is illegal

Answer 8

you can't. you must buy the dvd from iTunes if you want to upload it to your iPod.  

Answer 9

You need two programs:

1. Slysoft AnyDVD, which is legal to purchase. This overrides the encryption which is standard on all DVDs. It runs in the background and kicks in whenever a DVD is inserted.

2. A program from ripping the DVD to iPod. Just Google, there are tons. I use "ImTOO DVD to iPod Convertor" personally.

By the way, this is assuming you're on a PC. Handbrake I've heard is good for Mac, but I don't know if it breaks encryption also. NEVER waste money on a digital-only movie from iTunes.
