Where do you get videos to put on your mp3 media players??

by iwantamp3player Oct 21, 2007 10:12AM PDT

I've been looking for an mp3 player for a while, and have been interested in either the creative zen or the sony walkman A818. They both play video, and i was wondering where people get the videos that they put on their players. I know itunes sells videos, and so does amazon unbox. I don't think either of those sites sell videos that work with the walkman. Where else can i find videos?? Where does everyone get their videos? (by videos, i'm referring to tv shows, movies, etc. The kind of stuff that itunes sells)

I rip my dvds

Although technically illegal in the US, I prefer that over getting content through bitorrents and other file sharing sites (such as limewire). I think most of these companies expect you to put user created content if you can't buy through legal means.

where to get video files

by zoloftdan Oct 21, 2007 2:21PM PDT

I have been looking into Archow players. Large hard drives I can have up to 100 movies, and it has a dvr. I don't want to pay 3.99 to download a movie off of WiFi. I thought, can I connect my Direct TV DVR and all my saved movies and upload them to the Archos? Cool. Millions of movies, easily transferable?, and free. Can I do this?
