Since DVD files are so large, it is best to store them on 30 and 60GB iPods. If you use an iPod shuffle or an iPod with a lower storage limit, you may not be able to store many videos, if you are able to store any at all. You should also be aware that the more DVDs you store on your iPod, the fewer songs you will be able to store.

There are still legal implications involved with copying DVDs to iPod. Ripping the content from videos by bypassing the copyright-system used on DVDs and is illegal under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. However, the law doesn’t specifically state that it is ok to copy the content from your own personal collection for your own personal use. It may seem that you are well within your rights as owner of the DVD to copy the content to a portable viewing device. There have been some court rulings that have said DVD copying is ok as long as it is not used for infringement purposes. However, the Motion Picture Association of America holds that it doesn’t matter the reason, any content ripping from DVD violates the DMCA. Since the law does not specifically state whether DVD copying is legal if used only for personal reasons, it is necessary for each user to access their views. Many people believe that copying DVDs for personal reasons is legal until there are laws that state otherwise.

Perhaps in the near future DVDs may be available in a digital format that can be purchased and downloaded directly from the Internet to your iPod without using a third-party utility. For now, you will have to use a utility to rip the content and then add to your iPod.
