"Had it coming to them"?!?! What a priggish statement! Are you the same guy that says that when a woman wearing a short skirt gets raped she "had it coming"?!?
I use a program called PQ DVD to IPod Video Suite for converting my DVD's and other media to IPod format, and it coverts the files in half the time it would take to watch them. The program costs less than this gadget and does a great job.
