When you put the file in your video library go to your advance options ans select convert. It will convert your movie file to mpeg4 format. This wont work for all files some you will not be allowed to convert.

You need software that can handle the DVD files, yes. Plus a progrm that can rip them to your hard drive. Try looking on http://download.com/ - the download should be free.

Definitely not.\n\nAll you need to do is alter a few settings.\n\nOpen iTunes while your iPod is connected and then go to iPod options\n\nEnable the option " Allow to be used as a disc drive"\n\nEnjoy!

You'll want to re-encode the video from the DVD to another format suitable for online viewing. Your best bet is probably MPEG-4, as it's possible to read that on any OS. MPEG-4 with H.323 is very efficient.\n\nThere is a lot of software out there to convert DVDs to MP4, because it's the format used for iPods and PSPs. So, look for software to turn a DVD into an iPod or PSP movie, use that, then put the MP4 file online.

Yeah, you should be able to do that easily. Just download or copy all your songs from ipod to your PC using itunes, and then you can use any CD burning software to burn those songs into a CD. There are softwares like Nero7 or Roxio Ease CD creator etc. Try using them.

I have had great luck with the free Videora Ipod converter.  Converts pretty much any video file format to ipod friendly mp4.  Then, just drag the mp4 files onto iTunes and voila!  Any video you have on your computer, now can be on your ipod.\nhttp://www.videora.com/en-us/Converter/iPod/

Is right, DVD shrink will work. I have better solution: Get thou self an external HD and back up to it. Unless you are thinking of playing it on a regular DVD player. I know nothing about how or if that would work

yes but you might have to do several conversions so i'll start at the beginning. you cannot burn dvd files unless they are in .ifo, .vob format.\n\nDivxToDvd is a nice program that takes .avi files and burns them directly to dvd compatible files for you. The easiest way is to make a vcd. Go to Nero and click the Cd tab and click make Video Cd and use the Nero Express interface and drag and drop video files and burn

If they are mpeg and no bigger than 700mb you should be able to burn them onto cd and play them, if they are avi format you will need a dvix codec in order to play them.\n\nYou can do all of that without a dvd burner.

First, put in your ipod.  Give it a minute to load.  Go to My Computer.  Click on your ipod.  Go to tools at the top and pick folder options. On that screen Go to view.  Then in the setting pick show hidden folders and apply.  Now go to Ipod_Control and go to music.  Dont worry thats where your videos are.  Now click the search button on the top.  Go to Search all files or folders. click advanced options and make sure its searching just the ipod.  Then click more advanced options and tell it to include hidden and system files.  Then you just click search.  After everthing comes up click on type to get all the movies together.  They will either say Mpeg 4 or quicktime movie.  The names will look weird though.  Its okay their still the same videos.  Then you just copy them to a folder on your computer.

It all depends... if you want to just burn them on DVD and save them for later viewing thru a COMPUTER then the methods mentioned above should work.\n\nIf you need that DVD to play on your regular dvd player, then it's very very difficult and complicated process.  As the first contributor pointed out, you can go to dvdrhelp.com/videohelp.com to see if there is some free software out there that can convert whatever format these movies you downloaded from the web into a standard DVD video format which is MPEG-2 720x480.  It gets complicated because it depends on the resolution and quality and type of format your movies are in.  If your downloaded movie is of bad quality and resolution, putting it on DVD will look horrible.  Something that looks great on your PC may not look great on your TV as you play that DVD.\n\nLooks for something like converting avi/wmv/mov/mpeg to dvd in the site above

Try BlindWrite.\nUsing BlindWrite, write the movies to an image file and then, write the image file to the DVD disk using BlindWrite.

You open up a 1/2 screen window where the video files are, and a 1/2 screen size window with Itunes file. You drag and drop them into the files stored, then up load them to the ipod.\n\nGood Luck.
