    1 - buy/rent films from the iTunes store and put them on your iPod
    2 - convert your films from whatever format they are in, into the format that is compatible with the iPod.. (can't tell you how to do this, as you don't tell me what computer you have!)

    If you want to convert films to use on your ipod i recommend downloading Videora ipod converter, it's free, it's easy to use and it'll convert your films and add them into itunes so all you have to do is plug your ipod in :)

    £6.99 to buy a film! Will cost a fortune as you wont want to keep watching the same film over and over. I assumed you could take the films off your DVD but appears that you cant as theyre all protected.
