Can you rip a DVD right onto an IPOD?

Thinking about buying the new Ipod Video.
Can I only watch video that I buy off of Itunes on the IPOD, or can I use other video sources as well?

you can rip dvds, but it requires the use of third party software. handbrake is one that seems popular, but it cannot rip certain dvds. there are a number of options out there, though.

videora is one that i have used with good results

DVDFab works great. Be sure to download the CSS version or you wont be able to rip your encrypted movies. I've only been using it for a week, but I've been very happy. There is a 30 day trial too, so you can give it a very thorough workout before you decide whether you want to buy.

I use AnyDVD and CloneDVD Mobile from Slysoft. I've used everything and the slysoft stuff is my favorite. All it takes is a few clicks.

Cucusoft is what I use.

Handbrake is what I use too. For tricky DVD's, I use MacTheRipper first (for macs obviously!) for extracting to the hdd first, then encode to ipod using handbrake.

No!
Videos can only be uploaded to the iPod through iTunes, and iTunes don't support DVD ripping/compression. Hence you need at least two applications...
