Apple has done its best to make Video-iPod-compatible video content available for purchase and download through its online retail outlet, and a number of other companies and vendors have adopted the format. But most operators already have videos that they want to watch on their new video ipod - files such as iMovies, DVDs that they own, TV shows that have been recorded with a digital video recorder (DVR), etc. Can these be played back on the new video iPod? The answer is: OF COURSE THEY CAN! Adapting them is straightforward. Below is the low-down on the top software programs that allow you to rip DVDs to your iPod.

# Cucusoft PSP/iPod Video Converter + DVD to PSP/iPod Converter Suite

Its name is a mouthful, that's for sure, but all of it is true. Widely considered as perhaps the best iPod converter around, Cucusoft's iPod Converter Suite is essentially four programs bundled together to form an all-in-one video conversion suite.

With this suite, you can convert all your favorite DVDs from your library and almost all other kinds of video files you have stored, then play them on your new Video iPod or even a PSP (Playstation Portable). Now, you can carry your favourite videos along with you and enjoy them through iPod whenever, wherever.

It's an admirable program for learners. You don't need to have any media knowledge to get this thing started. If you're trying to rip movies from a DVD, just place the disc into your computer and launch the Cucusoft iPod Converter Suite. The program will automatically load the disc, allowing you to opt for the file format to view on your iPod.

And the software is able to support almost all types of media files obtainable, such as, AVI, DivX, Xvid, MP43, MPEG1, MPEG2, .asf, .wmv, .mov, .rm, .rmvb, Video DVD disc, .VOB, .IFO, VCD, and SVCD.
