• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    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.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

A friend told me he would put a dvd in his mac then stream it to his ipod Touch via wireless to watch in bed. I didn't delve any further but it seemed pretty cool. Now I have a new imac, how would I go about doing this?
Any extra software needed? I have a wireless hub up and running.

You can use AirVideo. The lite version allows you to view 3 videos at a time. You would have to have your Mac on though.

Or Pogoplpug. You would have to buy a pogoplug for $120 and download the app but it would allow you to convert an external HD into a server of sorts. The beauty of using the pogoplug is you wouldn't have to leave your computer on.

I have and use both and both work great.
