PodDisc was an innovative startup allowing for the transfer of digital copies of movies from DVDs to iPods. At the time, iPods had the capability of showing movies, but videos could only be purchased from the iTunes Store. I created a program that allowed the user to transfer a digital copy of the movie from the DVD to the iPod, using several programming languages: C#,C++, Microsoft .net technologies, and AppleScript. I presented this cross-platform technology at meetings with the seven major studios in Hollywood. This was years before the digital copy was present on DVDs.
