So I was curious, I know there are a few of these Ipod Movie Download site's
ie)
Feedmyipods.com
unlimitedipodmovies.com
myipoddownloads.com
ipodnetdownloads.com


but I was curious - are these a) worth it? and b) which site is the best to download/backup your dvd collection to your ipod?


thanks, hope someone knows!

they all sound and look a bit dodgey tbh. they don't tell you what's available to d/l before registering and they feel the need to provide testimonials in order to make you believe them

If you want to back up dvds, there is free software that can do that for example Handbrake
 
Can't say that these sites look particularly legal.... as far as I know none of the major film distributors have done anything about iPod formatted films being available for download, which would imply these sites are illegal....

Don't be too surprised if this thread is wastelanded....

i'm not promoting it. it's just a question - i'm sure there are many people curious about such sites, ya know? hopefully it wont be deleted because someone else will make a thread that may be similar and the circle will continue....

but yeah, i was just curious - how these things work? if they aren't legal, how do so many exist and have so many users?
 
Stay Away from MyIpoddownloads!

They are a ripoff! I read all kinds of reviews (which they had to have posted themself) and then I joined for life-time membership. I entered the site expecting something more than the 10 junk movies that they have. The movies they offer wouldn't make it a Z quality film from Antarctica.

Stay far, far away!
 
easiest way is just to use bittorrent. find a movie with a lot of seeds and bam. Then you can use Handbrake to reduce the filesize if you want
