You may be looking at your iPod and your DVD library and wondering how you can get those movies onto your iPod. There are a number of programs that can help you do this.

One of them is called Handbrake. It runs on Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux and converts DVDs to iPod and iPhone-playable video formats. This guide tells you how to get video from your DVDs onto your iPod using Handbrake.

NOTE: Be sure to only use this process with DVDs that you own. Doing this with someone else’s DVDs is theft.
