Handbrake help please....

Please help. I use handbrake to legally copy movies that I legally own off dvd and onto my macbook.
Now, when I copy a movie from the dvd onto my macbook, it usually goes to the desktop. Once it's on the desktop, I drag it into my itunes and itunes copies it, etc... Here is when the problem comes into play. I try to sync my ipod touch to get the video on there and it says that it is unable to copy it onto the ipod. I don't have permission. This happens with every single movie I try transferring over to my ipod with this method. I actually purchased a movie from Apple for 9.99 just to see if the problem was my ipod. That movie went onto my ipod no problem. So, my question is, how do I get a movie that I legally own on dvd onto my ipod touch?

P.S. If it matters, I am using a unibody macbook, 2.4ghz...OSX 10.4.6, and handbrake 0.9.3.
Thanks for your help.

This is a topic that is against forum rules to discuss. I realize you legally own the movie, but that does not mean that ripping the movie is a legal action. Please see the forum rules.

WOW< Ok My apologies.

Just for the sake of clarification, regardless of whether you own the movie, the US DMCA forbids the breaking of encryption or any protection mechanism, including that which is inherent to commercial DVDs. So, you may own the movie, but you don't have the legal right to break the mechanism that keeps one from copying it.

See this thread for more details.
