Well then, if you really want to do this, what video file does Ipod
support besides mov. Cause it sounds like that is what you will need
to do. Convert VOB files into whatever supported video files you need.
The copy the single file onto the IPOD and play it. Can be done but
time consuming, you have to rip to remove protection, then re-encode
into a single file using software that supports VOB files which will
take even a fast PC hours.
Actually, that's exactly what DVD Copy 4 will do when combined with
AnyDVD. It spits out to a bunch of formats:

My problem is that the audio quits at some point on the DVD I'm working
with now. The video looks fine. For .mp4 it doesn't take that long.
For .h264 it takes longer. I'm trying to output to Dvix AVi now. If I
can get AVI to work, I can convert that to iPod format, I think.
When attempting this I have found it easier just to play the DVD back
and capture it with a capture device that isn't affected by
protection. Either way one movie is a big effort.
Yeah, but iPod is even smaller and i can take more richer content
(Podcasts, AudioBooks, Music, photos, Movies, etc) and no DVDs/CDs.
Plus, I already have an iPod and plenty of PC power sitting here with
nothing to do. So the hours don't cost me much. And on longer trips
I'll drag my laptop with ripped movies loaded.
Probably makes more sense just to buy one of those small DVD players.
They can't be very heavy.
They aren't, but see above.
