This article will teach you how to rip DVDs to iPod Classic on Mac OS X. IPod Classics have smaller screens, but they have super-large storage space (160GB/120GB/80GB) so that you can put dozens of DVD movies to your iPod Classic for watching to kill time while travelling for long hours. Furthermore, you do not have to worry that your physical discs may be scratched or misplaced after copying movie DVDs to iPod Classic hard disk.
However, you cannot transfer a DVD from the disc to your iPod Classic directly because the Classics video player app cannot read the VIDEO_TS files.
