iPod Problem

[ddubois]

I myself have also ordered a 60gb video iPod. It's hard to imagine I would ever use it to watch video, but bought the more expensive video option "just in case". If I find that I do want to watch video on it, I anticipate that the vast majority of my video content will come from one of two sources:
1) Ripping Netflix-rented DVDs, that are re-burned to DVD-Rs via DVD Shrink + DVD Decrypter
2) Home movies made with my Canon Powershot s400, which saves in the Motion jpeg (.AVI) format.

Given this information, is Videora iPod Converter a tool I will need to make the above content viewable my new iPod, will it work for both types of source video content, and is it the best choice available?
