Tips & Warnings

• Use the converter one movie at a time, to maximize faster conversion.
• Check also the memory capacity of your iPod. You might get so addicted to convert one DVD to another, your iPod’s memory storage might not have the capacity anymore.
• It’s not illegal for you to convert a DVD you purchased to you personal iPod. As long as it’s used for private viewing. It is illegal when you distribute this publicly, and when others pay for what you produce. That’s already video piracy. This is intended for fun and practical leisure only.
