How to Take a DVD & Put It on an MP3 Player
Most MP3 players are designed to support other media types as well as their namesake MP3 format. And it's their ability to play multiple file types that makes MP3 players great for consolidating physical media like DVDs onto one device. So whether you want to load your video MP3 player with a full DVD or copy the audio track from DVDs where the video track is nonessential, for example, in a video lecture, all you need is several audio/video utilities to transfer your DVDs to your MP3 player.
