	->> Thanks Mark. Netflix is great, but it won't work on the Nook yet. It is great streaming on the iPhone, but no download.

	->> "Free or otherwise?" Free - don't know where to download, but as PJ mentioned, Hulu is "the" place to watch online. Otherwise - iTunes

	->> Yes, legally. I don't trust P2P networks or illegal stuff.

Especially good for Mark Rebilas because they have EVERY episode EVER of Family Guy.

Not that I have ever used it, but I hear that as long as you don't agree to download the garbage they try to get you to use and just play the videos, this is a wonderful resource. I mean, this is what I have heard... ;-)

	->> I have a ton of movies on DVD - I guess I could rip a few and convert them to MP4s. I'm on a PC, so do you know of any good freeware DVD rippers? If not what is a good paid one? thanks, A-

	->> I would also love to hear about a good tool for ripping DVDs on a PC. I've tried a couple in the past and they didn't seem to work very well. Very clumsy interface and not worth the hassle in the end. It looks like there is a Handbrake download for Windows. anyone ever use it?

	->> I use "Mac the Ripper" to rip my own DVDs and then compress to iphone using "Popcorn". Works great.

	->> Yes, I've used the Windows version of Handbrake to rip DVD's for my ipod Touch though it's been a while. It was pretty straight foward and there's also a fair amount of help on the web since it's widely used. I've also had success with AnyDVD which isn't free but works like a charm.

->> For you Windows users, you're gonna want AnyDVD:

http://www.slysoft.com/en/

This application runs in the system tray and disables CSS (copy protection used on DVDs) on the fly. That way, your system - as well as any other program - sees the DVD in your drive as being non-protected.

You'll also want AVS Video Converter:

http://www.avs4you.com/AVS-Video-Converter.aspx

This will take the contents of the DVD and reformat them to fit your portable media.

	->> Handbrake has a PC client as well. I used it to back up my 150-odd DVDs to a media server about six months ago, a two week process that was well worth it.
