The Zune is a small hand held media player. It is capable of audio playback, video playback, and photo viewing. Video formats supported by the Zune are H.264 (MP4), MPEG-4, and WMV. Any video in those formats can be transferred directly to the Zune device. To transfers video from a DVD, you will need to first extract the video from the DVD and re-encode it so that it will display properly on the Zune. This can be done using any number of free conversion software (such as DVD to Zune Converter). The video can then be transferred to the Zune using any conventional method.
