Is it legal to rip a legally purchased dvd onto an iPod in Canada?
asdfghjk asked:
I want to put some of my dvds on my iPod, but I don’t know if it is legal to do it in Canada using a program such as Handbrake. They actually sell programs like this in retail stores, but I am still unsure.

hi, if you use it for yourself only, it is legal i think.
here i recommend you Aiseesoft DVD to iPod Converter.
it can convert your DVDs to iPod video/audio formats.
and it can also do many video editing works, such as trim, crop, merge and so on.
Free download it here:
here is how to ues it:
Step 1: Install and run Aiseesoft DVD to iPod Converter.
Step 2: Place the DVD into your DVD drive and click the “Load DVD” button to load DVD.
Step 3: Select iPod video formats from “Profile” drop-download list
Step 4: Set the special settings such as “trim”,”effect”,etc to cater to your need and click “Start” to start your conversion.
Just have a try and I hope it can be helpful to you! Sonixten

iPod accepts MP4 format, so you just need a converter that will go from DVD to MP4, and then transfer the MP4 files to your iPod with the sync of iTunes Library. I always use Clone2Go DVD to iPod Converter. It combines the following features into one program:
1. Rip DVD to iPod
2. Convert video to iPod
3. Download YouTube video to iPod

Yes, it’s legal but you can’t use for commerce.
if you want to rip the dvd to ipod, I recommend one tool for you, iSkysoft DVD to iPod converter, supports ipod touch 2 and ipod nano 4. It can rip and convert DVD to iPod video formats (MP4, m4V) and audio formats (MP3, M4A, ACC)
only four steps:
1.Load dvd or load files to open dvd;
2.click “trim” or “crop” to edit video;
3.click “settings” to set the output options;
4.click “start” to convert dvd.

I think it’s legal as long as you do it with only personal use.
