Not to sound like a Sprint fan boy. but ive had mspot for a couple months now on Sprint tv. Paying like 6bucks a month. Its not anything to be hype about in my opinion. The movie selection sucks, i think. Hopefully they fix this and it will be a great addition to my phone. It runs without freezing on the evdo rev a id like to add.

My thing is that I have no real interest in streaming movies. I'd rather just rip them from DVD and put them on my iPod. If I had a phone that played movies I'd do the same thing and keep them on the flash memory.

thats cool too. i do the same thing. rip them and play them on my divx player on my phone. the thing about streaming movies is they may have a movie that i dont have in my collection. which is a good look.

You need 2 pieces of software. One to break the encryption and another to make the Ipod compatible file.

I use AnyDVD from Slysoft to break encryption. It just sits in your Windows system tray and automatically does its thing when a DVD is inserted.

For ripping, I'm using piece of freeware called Handbrake. It has a bunch of preconfigured formats that you can rip to, including .m4v. It takes a bit of time to rip a movie, but then I have an old PC.

After that's done, you just import into iTunes and sync.

I have to agree with you Crood. I rather Rip them as well. Still, for those who don't know how to Rip, this is a really cool app.

Think of it like Netflix Instant Watch for your Phone. Now, if NetFlix would invest in something like that, I think it would catch on three-times faster. I would get it for sure. a program like Netflix Instant Watch + Ripped Movies = Huge Video Library.

So again, even though You and I rather Rip the movies, its good and welcoming to have other options available. Or, simply put, as TechJunky said;

Like "wow" a long time for you is "two months!" That's two billing cycles, and $12 later. it also sounds like you dont use the service much either..
