i just got an iPod for my birthday today. it is an 80gb. i just could not figure out how to put some of my dvd movies on this thing. i came onto this forum, and read and read for about 4 hours. downloaded a program, CloneDVD mobile, and it works great. i just wanted to say thanks for all the information you all have placed here. still do not know much about this wonderful little machine, but will be working on that for the rest of the weekend.
