You need software to rip content from DVDs out to your computer. You can find freeware to do so, for example Handbrake, etc. And them convert the ripped files to the formats that iPod support (MP4, M4V, etc.). Also there is freeware can manage that like SUPER. But I prefer to use paid software like Aimersoft DVD Ripper and Aimersoft Video Converter for they are more powerful, high efficiency, etc. Actually Aimersoft DVD to iPod Converter can help you in one breath.

Because your rent video are in DRM protection. What you need is a DRM-remover M4V Converter Plus recommend for you.
