I got for Christmas the new 5G video iPod. I have some music concerts on DVD
that I would like to copy to my iPod.
Is there any freeware/shareware that will do the job?
Thanks
Lisa
I am running windows XP, service pack 2 with all the updates.

The best DVD to iPod converter I've ever used!

Many converters suck, such as Cucusoft software. They just can't work as advertised. I was a stupid guy that I bought two converters, and the first is Cucusoft DVD to iPod converter.It doesn't work for me and I cannot get the refund. I finally bought Avex DVD to iPod Suite. And it works great!
