Answer 2

I believe these are technically .mpg files.  You can rename the extension from .mod to .mpg and it should play.  That's what I do with my camcorder videos.

Answer 3

Use iSkysoft DVD Ripper for Mac to help you. It can rip HDD.

iPod accepts mp4 video detail as follow

MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per sec., Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48 kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats.

You need a converter to help you convert the DVD to MP4 format.And then transfer the video that be converted to iTunes.

I recommend iSkysoft DVD Ripper. It's a great one-click solution. For whatever reason, the video and audio of the output files that are converted by some dvd ripper are not synchronous. But iSkysoft works really well, default encoding is 192/44 and the quality is excellent. The trial version should be fully functional for what you want to do.
