There are a lot of pre-made tools out there to put your DVD's on your ipod. even free ones. I saw one tutorial the other day on how to install the ripping softwere onto your ipod so you could run it from any windows PC.

I am all for reinventing the wheel for the sake of learning. But this is not exactly an easy task ahead of you. To play the dvd you can use a mediaplayer control, but to rip, reformat, and encode the dvd is a long way from playing it... and int about 20 min on google you can find 5 tools that do it for you. (Granted you may have to pay for some of them).

Not that I mean to be a nay-sayer
