Dunno but its Mac... have added another free one.

Most of my stuff is on divx so I use Daniusoft - http://www.wmatomp3-converter.com/digital-media-converter.html

AVS do some free stuff as well - http://www.dvdvideosoft.com/free-dvd-video-software.htm

I use the Videosoft programme and it's great

Also look at Handbrake. It was originally made for Mac and then ported to Windows. Rips directly to Ipod and my cousin who watches 90% of his movies on Ipod while travelling swears by it. It's also free...bonus

I use Handbrake on the Mac. Does a 2 hr dvd in about 2.5 hours. All the windoze progs i used in the past took upwards of 5 hours. It would be interesting to know of windoze Handbrake is any better.

Tried to install it on my old mmc but no joy... 10.3.9 not supported.

So installed it on my PC.... No good as it can't copy my "write protected" dvd..

So I read the FAQ and it says I need a ripper first... WTF....

Any user friendly advice... Cheers

This one is supposed to do it all... DVD, DIVX, TVIO etc to iPOD... Also supposed to be fast but I have not used it. $39

The site also has a neat little video of an iTablet in action...

But I'd still prefer Clone2Go DVD to iPod Converter. As I know, it can rip all kinds of DVD movies and convert videos from various sources to iPod Touch, iPod Classic, iPod Nano compatible video/audio formats with high output quality at fast speed.
