How to Put DVDs on an iPod
http://live.pirillo.com/ – IConverting a DVD to play on your mobile device (like the PSP) is much easier than trying to push really hard. All you need is the DVD and some free open source software.
HandBreak will allow you to recode your DVD video into another format, such as MP4 – which can then be played on your mobile device (PSP, iPod, AppleTV, whatever).
HandBrake is an open-source, GPL-licensed, multiplatform, multithreaded DVD to MPEG-4 converter, available for MacOS X, Linux and Windows. What software do you use to convert your DVDs into other formats?
(And no, Chris isn’t constipated, he’s just trying to cram the DVD case into his PSP – honest!)

Why didn’t you actually SHOW us how to use Handbrake to convert our DVDs into iPod formats?
Last time I tried to use the Windows version of Handbrake it did NOT work at all. I’m hoping this version works better, but it would be nice to know that I’m not alone. I always have this sneaking suspicion that I’m just not doing it right.
If your video had shown me how to install and use the software on the Mac, PC and Linux, THEN it might be link-worthy or embeddable. As it is, your video was just humor.

Windows XP Error Code: Handbrake cannot be installed on systems with .NET framework version smaller than 2.0.
To a normal human being, that just makes Handbrake on Windows USELESS.
Sorry folks, they’re not ready for primetime…
Bad call, Pirillo, bad call.
It’s working just fine on my Mac, though.
