iPod getting my movies onto an ipod

[Heiro]

so with the new ipods ability to handle video i need to know, can you change dvds into a format recognized by the ipod? you can for the psp with various programs, xcopy9 (http://psptransfer.com/) comes to mind, but i want to be sure before i order one. cuz you know its a lot of money, thats like 3 weeks gas! (okay its not $10 a gallon yet, emphasis on the yet)

I don't know for sure, but would DVDxDV do the trick (http://www.dvdxdv.com)?

I haven't used this software, but I might end up getting it if it will work for this purpose...
