Warrior, the "terms of use" of these forums prevent any discussion of how to rip commercial DVD's. Sorry.

So we can't import a DVD that we legally own (just like a CD) onto a video capable iPod?

It's 2 different things. You have to break the encryption on the DVD which is illegal in the US & I've said more than I should. As I said, the "terms of use" of these forums DO NOT ALLOW any discussion of how to do this.

Clarifying why it cannot be done cannot be construed as saying more than you should. I couldn't find anything in the help to explain why iTunes wouldn't even reckognize the file.

That's all I needed to know.

Is this a commercial DVD or a DVD you have made yourself? You really need to be very specific when asking this type of question as the "terms of use" only apply to commercial DVD's.

I am a small time movie producer and produce my own low budget movies and I wish to transfer my own personally produced movie collection on to iTunes so that I can then put it on to my iPod.

Warrior, my apologies for you thread being thread-jacked. Anyway, I'm hoping you will find the information on this link helpful.
