I'd use DVD Shrink to rip the movies from the DVD to your computer, then use videora ipod converter to convert that file into a format importable into itunes (and onto ipods).
However, I'm sure there's an easier way to do it. There's probably some freeware out there that can rip the DVD directly into itunes format.
u get a free 5 dvd download trial. and u can put the dvd into any format u want. ipod, psp ect. the real one costs like 35 bucks. but after u download the 5 dvds, uninstall. wait like a few days then it usually works again.
for handbrake, i think i'm having trouble with getting my movies full quality. I recently put ssd on my comp at "normal" and it was only 800 mb. doesn't seem big enough
