Okay, it’s not so much a hack, but it will save you money. If you want to watch movies on your iPod, it’s worth looking into Videora iPod Converter. It will encode your DVD movies to fit on an iPod’s screen. Space is hardly an issue. I have 2 movies on my iPod and it took up less than 1 gig for them.
It is also suggested that you buy a video cable for your iPod so that you can hook it up to your TV. Rather then shell out 20 bucks to get a 3 foot cable from Apple, go to Radioshack and get this cable. It will work out of the box only if you switch the red and yellow connectors when you hook it up. I relabeled mine with new stickers to curb confusion. You save 3 bucks and get a ten foot cable (roughly 3 times longer than Apple’s Video Cable).
When you hook ‘er up to your television, do not forget to set iPod into video out mode. This is easily accomplished by going to Videos > Video Settings > Video Out > On or Ask.
Play your movies.
If you want to put your DVDs on iPod, visit this website. You will need DVD Decrypter, Videora iPod Converter and some DVDs. Follow this good guide to get going. Beware, though, althought the movies are small when your are completed, the entire process can take anywhere from 4 to 9 gigabytes. I do not advocate the use of pirated movies.
