Let me know, I'd be interested.. -----Original Message----- From: Association for Recorded Sound Discussion List [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Tom Fine Sent: Sunday, April 29, 2007 1:10 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [ARSCLIST] DVD video to iPod Hi Scott: Thanks. For $50 I decided to try out what Angie recommended, DVDFab. It gets around CSS by being published and sold in China! Downloaded it just fine and it already copied a DVD. As soon as I close the e-mail program, I'm going to see how well it crunches a movie down to iPod. -- Tom Fine ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott Phillips" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Sunday, April 29, 2007 2:44 PM Subject: Re: [ARSCLIST] DVD video to iPod ---- I thought you were running a MAC, Tom, so perhaps this information is a help... -----Original Message----- From: Association for Recorded Sound Discussion List [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Scott Phillips Sent: Sunday, April 29, 2007 12:00 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [ARSCLIST] DVD video to iPod I have PC software that does this easily, even with 'protected' DVD's, but they even say in the literature that to get around being sued over it, they had to make it into two separate programs. It is a Cucsoft product. It has worked perfectly for me. I know that you are running a MAC, so I know that doesn't help you, but might be of interest to the list.... -----Original Message----- From: Association for Recorded Sound Discussion List [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Tom Fine Sent: Saturday, April 28, 2007 5:59 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [ARSCLIST] DVD video to iPod Hi Rod: This is a good Plan B for sure. But I already recorded the video to a DVD, so I just want to "rip" the DVD onto my hard drive and then convert to iPod video with Quicktime. Just out of curiosity -- why aren't there a gizillion pieces of software to do this? Is it all because of Hollywood user-hostile copy restrictions? Are those restrictions placed on a DVD I record in my JVC machine? If so, is there a way I can turn them off? Sorry, showing glaring ignorance about the DVD format. I usually work in audio only. -- Tom Fine ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rod Stephens" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Saturday, April 28, 2007 6:57 PM Subject: Re: [ARSCLIST] DVD video to iPod > Tom Fine wrote: > >> Hi All: >> >> Is there any relatively easy way to get DVD video onto my iPod?
