I bought the iPod video a while back this year in the winter, and are planning to buy an updated iPod next year (Boy, iPods may be popular, but they sure do go obsolete so quickly, as Apple may introduce a 120-gigabyte iPod with improved video resolution.

But the problem is that I can't rip DVDs without circumventing the copy protection scheme for backups and importing the movie or a few episodes of Star Trek, or other protected DVD content onto my iPod.
