On my iPod video why can't I DL any videos?

Question

Why cant I put any DVD's on there?

Do I have to buy certain DVD's or can I only purchase from iTunes?

Answer 1

iTunes won't let you rip any DVD's because of legal issues that Apple would face if they did.  The only way you can put movies on your iPod is if you buy or rent them off of iTunes.

And should you want to delete any of your videos from your iPod, all you have to to is delete them in iTunes and then the next time you sync your iPod, the movies you deleted will be gone.
