Movie downloads other than from iTunes - what is easy and safe?

All of the legal downloading services besides itunes use DRM that is not compatible with ipods. iTunes is much easier to use than any other service I've seen, even if you just want to watch movies on your computer.

eMusic.com (legally) sells music that are both in plain old MP3 format and are not DRM protected.

No experience with them though, so I can not comment on how easy it is to download their stuff and that sort of thing. But I have browsed their downloads and they have a lot of stuff I like, but most of it I already own on CD or I might consider trying them out.

I believe the OP was looking for movies. Has eMusic moved into that area yet?

Well, if you like old stuff (really old), you can always try www.archive.org. Lots of public domain content. You may have to do a little conversion once you download it. However, I was usually able to do it within iTunes.
