    I dont know if I should get a 30 or 60 gig ipod video after you convert a dvd and put it on the ipod is it the same size as it was on the dvd lets say 4.35 gigs on the dvd would it be 4.35 ggs on the ipod?

    thanks

    No. By encoding it to fit the iPod spec. requirements, it is reduced dramatically. It can totally vary depending on your chosen video & audio requirements. But it will definetely be smaller than the origional DVD :)

    i converted shrek from a DVD and has only used 500mb (1h 30m) but this will vary on the length of the film.

    i have the 30GB video and i have put over a days worth of music and VIDEOS and only used 5GB in total so you can fit a fair bit on it.

    Hope this helped

    i use a converter called IMTOO DVD TO iPOD and its pretty simple to use. it has never let me down with the video or sound quality and is custom built to the iPod. get a free trial at http://www.imtoo.com/dvd-to-ipod-suite.html. it isnt free but there is a free trial on it.

    iPod_Luva, you cannot openly offer pirated material in the forums, it's against the rules ;-)
