How Do I Configure MacTheRipper for iPod?
If you've purchased a DVD and wish to transfer its contents to your iPod, the MacTheRipper software is able to copy the disk onto your Macintosh computer. As a free program, MacTheRipper is a DVD-extracting application that bypasses copy protection and region codes that normally restrict you from copying the DVD to your computer. Because of copyright laws, transferring a DVD to your iPod should only be used for movies you have purchased, and these cannot be shared with others.
