<p>I know this isn't really a college life question, but I know a lot of college kids are pretty tech savvy. </p>
<p>Ok, so I recently upgraded my ipod because I was running out of memory on my old one. Part of this was because I couldn't add a movie since music took up so much space. </p>
<p>So, I'd like to add some movies to my ipod. However, I don't really want to pay itunes $10 a movie for movies I already own. </p>
<p>What do I have to do? I'm pretty sure my computer has DVD burning capability, but I don't have a program to use it. </p>
<p>What converter program should I use to make them readable/viewable on my ipod? </p>
<p>How much money will I have to spend? I tried a free program, but it didn't work so well, it crapped out halfway through and iTunes wouldn't load it. </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Uhhh, thanks? Except I was looking for testimonials from people on CC, since I tried a couple programs already that didn’t really work and my friends just re-buy from itunes, so they didn’t really know.</p>
<p>I’m really sorry that I can’t be of any assistance, but if you don’t mind could you tell me what program you used to transfer music from your old iPod to your new one? I’m thinking of getting a new iPod myself soon (one ear works when you plug in any type of ear/head phones and I got an 8GB iPod which isn’t enough space I realized). I would really appreciate your feedback.</p>
<p>Oh, you can just do it through iTunes. (In fact, I think you have to use itunes).</p>
<p>When you plug your new ipod into your computer, you will have to register it and one of the questions is something like “Is this a new ipod or is this replacing another one”. </p>
<p>I clicked replacing another one and after registration, it automatically began to sync my music, apps, games, etc…</p>
<p>About 14 gigs of music and everything else took less than an hour to transfer, so it wasn’t that bad. </p>
<p>Hope that helped.</p>
<p>Oh cool. So did you have to have both iPods in at the same time? I remember a while back that iTunes didn’t allow iPods to transfer content.</p>
<p>I’m not sure. I still have the other one, but I don’t think it was needed in order to transfer the files. I didn’t know itunes didn’t allow that before, kinda strange.</p>
<p>I use “DVD Decrypter” and “Videora Ipod Converter”. They’re both free, and you can find directions online. It does take a while though.</p>
<p>Download the movies as torrents if you’re into that. Or rip your dvds, but I’m not sure why you’d want a movie on your iPod that you have on DVD. Then use Handbrake to convert to mp4. You don’t have to spend anything.</p>
