there is no easy or legal way to do it. PC or MAC?

I'd use DVD Shrink to rip the movies from the DVD to your computer, then use videora ipod converter to convert that file into a format importable into itunes (and onto ipods).

However, I'm sure there's an easier way to do it. There's probably some freeware out there that can rip the DVD directly into itunes format.

If you are on a Mac use Handbrake, Windows use Videora.

that won't do what he wants. Handbrake is the program you'll want.

For windows, use Magic DVD Ripper. It doesn't leave words all over the movie. Just have the output be MPEG-4.

Windows:
DVDFab HD Decrypter, then Handbrake
Mac:
Mactheripper, then Handbrake

The first programs are only necessary for protected DVD's.  (Most ski movies are NOT protected, MSP's movies are, though.)

u get a free 5 dvd download trial. and u can put the dvd into any format u want. ipod, psp ect. the real one costs like 35 bucks. but after u download the 5 dvds, uninstall. wait like a few days then it usually works again.

for handbrake, i think i'm having trouble with getting my movies full quality. I recently put ssd on my comp at "normal" and it was only 800 mb. doesn't seem big enough

really you just have to file-convert it. and that is illegal, but be a rebel. it's not really easy.

That seems about right. mp4 is a lossy codec, meaning the new file will be smaller than the original no matter what.
