Also presumably studios would have more time to perfect the quality of the rip. ... still, I have a creative zen, so I'll continue to rip my own too :) Also to Kathmandu: “since anyone can easily rip and transcode a DVD to a file that can be played on an Ipod” I think the advantage are twofold. 1) to the majority of i-anything users (especially the newer ones, e.g. dad) that it requires virtually no knowledge about computers or formats or anything like that

I'm surprised the movie industry isn't doing more to move away from apple/i(etc). The music industry was too slow and now apple have them by the balls and I could seriously see the movie industry going the same way. Still, although I would have preferred to have seen a divX copy on the dvd, there's no point in complaining about free gifts... Apple are taking over the world!

Or are they just providing the iPod files because they don't have much choice? Not to mention the fact that if I want to play the file on my PSP I'm SOL... I'll just rip my own files, thank you....
