My neighbor wants to take DVDs she owns and upload them into itunes, for play on an Ipod. Is that possible? If she has a mac, there is a free application called Handbrake that can rip the DVD to a iPod friendly file on the hard drive, then you just import it into iTunes (I believe there's a windows version in Beta). There are a variety of applications for sale for both platforms that do the same thing. But, theoretically does that matter- can you just copy onto the windoze file system and then move No, without a DVD drive, the file structure on the DVD can't be recognized. In theory, you could grab the contents off the DVD into your (DVD-equipped) computer, and then move it to her computer (Via email or shared network), but it would take a LONG time. She can replace her CD-RW with a combo drive for $20 these days: geeks.com

Wow, lizzie, you know all those times I listened to your completely off-the-wall technical excuses and explanations, and how you claim to have founded several tech companies and i believe taught computer science at some point- and now you completely blow away ANY DOUBT I HAD THAT YOU ARE FULL OF IT. You actually just asked if a CD drive can read DVDs. I knew there was a reason you worshipped apple- you wouldn't know technology if it jumped up and bit you on the nose. All you know is marketing and press releases and silicon valley hype. You don't have the even the slightest concept of any underlying tech. Even a one mouse button is probably stretching the limits of your technical capabilities. WOW. JUST, WOW. -------- But, theoretically does that matter- can you just copy onto the windoze file system and then move?
