    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.

I would do a Command-I on the files and compare image size, total bit rate, video codec, profile, etc.

There are limits to what an iPod will play so try finding that information and comparing it to your files. Since I don't have a iPod that does video, I've never had to be concerned with this issue.
