Hey guys...I've been using several software to convert DVD movies into mp4 format (compatable to iPod). The best I've found so far is ImTOO DVD Mavie Converter and it's not free but you can look for it by using LimeWire or other like that. This software can even catch the audio from DVD files (excellent if you wanna have mp3s from a DVD Live Concert).I wouldn't recommend RedChair 'cause it messed all the art of my albums' covers... I hated that software.Hope this info is useful for you.

M. Jeltema, which one(site) did you choose to convert the movies? makayama, videora, or redchairsoftware? and how much space did the movie use up on your ipod?

Mine works just like the one in my computer, just plug in USB and computer assigns it a drive and just play - record, burn, etc. My DVD RW had gone out on my computer, but now it's fixed so have two burners now. When portable player is plugged in and you want to burn something, like at itunes, you are prompted to select which burner. I was just stunned at how well it works, just like the one built into computer. But be careful with the software that comes with it, for it is just promotional - NOT needed to operate the unit. It will instruct you to put in disc to install. P.S. The portable floppy 3.5 works great as well if you have old stuff still stored on floppies.

I've played many moves on it but perhaps they've all been regular DVD. I know I've successfully burned many BluRays (for iTunes sharing to Apple TV, which is the primary reason I bought it) but when I just tried to play a BluRay on the computer (VLC Media Player installed Win8 Bootcamp on Mac Mini hardware) I got an error, so maybe there is an issue playing BluRays. I'll mess around with it and see if I can get it to work and let you know.

I have no problem using my iPod Classic on this, as long as I watch whatever videos I want on the iPod's screen and not the DVD player's screen.

You have to use iTunes to load cds onto your iPod. Got to iTunes.com and download the software. There is a walk-through that will help you.

I have no idea regarding Apple. I'm going to guess that if there is a burner for DVDs then it should work. Try it and see.

Yes, kind of. The unit only plays MP3 files, so you need files in that format. If you download iTuneMyWalkman (ITMW) (shareware), it will convert songs from itunes to mp3 and load them into the player (follow directions, or the software will erase stuff on the walkman) If you want the album art transferred to the player, the art needs to be in jpg format. Apple/Itunes tend to use png format which won't work. Also, forget video on this device. Three sony software products do not convert video properly. No third party software converts the video either (apple or windows) spent hours with sony support- They do not know how to get video to work either.

YES... which is one of the features I was looking for when I got mine. I am able to add music to iTunes from CDs, and watch DVD movies using the drive.

Yes. In most cases you'll have no other choice. Whether your device plays the movies, though, is up to the device. The camera lets you save the hi-def videos to the AVI file format and some DVD players will play these, but most play only the XVID AVI format. There's a program called Mov Converter that should let you convert many files to playable DVD formats.

I'm having the same issue. I have an Ipod 80GB classic. I tried to use it, and couldn't get it to work after following the directions. The audio plays, but not the video. I called Philips support and was told that Apple was blocking the video on the Classic. I called Apple and was told there was no issue of which they were aware, but I should try an Apple retail store. In short, everyone wanted to pass the buck. It's a shame because the unit is very nice, but if I can't use the Ipod feature with the Classic, it's not very practical.

I tried the USB with videos I downloaded from Youtube,I feel it would work fine with Itunes ones,and if not,they can always be converted to a different format.

Just remember that you can't use the SD card to play videos bought on-line. Neither Amazon's nor Itunes will work. They must be loaded in the internal memory.

the simple answer is yes, you can load them. you dont have to pay for what you already have on cd. and its very easy. also, i recommend using limewire to download music. i have more than a thousand songs on my ipod video and i've never paid for anything on itunes. you just download. and its legal. technically.

but for some reason, I didn't like iTunes software, many times, it does not work the way it suppose to. my wife has IPod touch and for some reason, it is not allowing to transfer videos even though we un-install the software cleanup registry and iTunes location. :(

I haven't tried doing that. I just download my itunes music/ movies onto it.

It should work. The problem I had after I bought this is that iTunes wouldn't play movies on my apple Cinema Display it was saying it's incompatible or something(I don't remember). So I basically bought it for nothing.

If you have an iphone or ipad you can try to look up. VLC app (plays almost any vid format) or any video converter (to convert your movies to the accepted format for iphone or ipad and router.
