iPod video, the ****ing cheek!
Discussion
Bought one of these over the weekend and was told by the shop assistant all I had to do to download movies/shows/videos was go to iTunes, purchase them and bobs your uncle. To my annoyance, the only country that can do this is the US at the current time; no one else has it yet. What's worse is they don't know when the rest of the world will be getting it. So I'm going to do the honroable thing and ask if there are any websites anyone knows of where you can get movies/shows for free and upload them to the iPod?
I just discovered this one too. 
But at least iTunes has a set of Brainiac video podcasts (free!) and a set of Pixar shorts for a couple of quid each. (Get "Boundin'" and "For the Birds" if you haven't seen them - great stuff!).
Other than that, I was going to ask this question too. Along with "What software do I need to transfer DVDs to my iPod?"

I accuired films and then converted them via Videroa

Seems to work fine as I had Casino Royale on there for a little while

Not sure about websites but assuming you've laid hands on some films in non-iPod format...
I use a program called Handbrake which lets you copy a DVD (which you of course own...) and convert it to an iPod friendly format which is pretty good. Also, MPEG STreamclip and Quicktime Pro both will allow you to take movies from your hard drive in other formats and convert to iPod. Basically, all the iPod movies are, are MP4 videos at a given resolution so anything that lets you do that. Once converted, simply drag into iTunes and you're there.

I second that - Handbrake is just the ticket, it allows you to rip owned DVDs to h.264 format for the Apple TV as well as the iPod. If you're copying off DVDs you've bought but have nasty protection schemes, then Mac the Ripper is your friend.I use a program called Handbrake which lets you copy a DVD (which you of course own...) and convert it to an iPod friendly format which is pretty good.
