Blu ray ripping options

Anyway, my laptop crashed and I now want to get my ipod music onto my computer desktop. But how? I do not know about computer well. Please give me details about what to do step by step. Any simple tool is appreciated!

DOES YOUR PRODUCT DO EVERYTHING THAT NERO16 PREMINUM  CAN DO,,,

What is the difference between HD DVD Player and Blu Ray DVD player? I have a Toshiba HDTV 1080 P DVD player, but am considering a Blu-ray DVD player. Will the Blu-ray player play my regular DVDs better than my DVD player now?

I am making a couple copies of my DVDs to give to my friend as a grad present. I was wondering how to make the copies using a windows computer. I still want mine to work and have a copy if that makes a difference.

The YouTube page in download mode does not display.. there are only a few grey squares / shapes on screen. It also appears a new version of the downloader is available to download however when I click on download, a dialogue box appears stating the web address / link could not be found

You state on your web page your Total Media Converter will take itunes videos and convert them to, for example MKV format. I would like to take videos I have purchased, convert, and put on a media drive to watch on TV without having to use a Apple device as the play source.
Does your software perform as your web page states? If so what is the trick?
If you tell me I have to purchase the product to enable that feature it undermines a trial of your product.

I need a simple to use all in one dvd copying program that will rip, decode, shrink ,decrypt, whatever. Free would be great but I don't mind paying if I have to.

I downloaded all the episodes of Bluestone 42 from BBC iPlayer and I want to put them onto my 4th Gen iPod touch but I can't find any decent video file converters. Anyone know any?
