iPod Videos

Black Fire · Post by **Black Fire** » 24 Mar 2007, 00:25

Hey I have an iPod Video and it seems like the only place I can put videos on it is from iTunes. My friend has videos from other places and I don't know how to! I want to know if I could get videos from http://www.gamespot.com that I have downloaded and if I can download videos from YouTube and put them on there. Can anyone help?

I suggest getting hold of a piece of PC software called "ImTOO iPod Movie Converter".

I can't say where I got hold of my copy (it's against this site's rules

) - but it will allow you to convert just about any Windows video format to the iPod video format. In fact, I was watching the British comedy classics "Bottom" and "The Young Ones" on my iPod Video earlier today...

Try Googling it. Hope this helps!

Open your MP4 movies in iTunes, and dump them on your iPod?

I say just dump the iPod and go for anything else.

Maybe you should quit on the bullcrap.

IMO, iPod videos aren't the best use of $300+. I just can't see why anyone would want to watch 3 hour movies (The batteries on an iPod video can't even last that long) on a tiny little 2 inch screen. That's why there's 62" Plasma home video systems

Is that why you have a Zen on your sig?

Stereo · Post by **Stereo** » 05 Apr 2007, 03:34

Zens are way better and there's factual proof and people's opinions. =O

And no, I didn't make my sig just for this thread.

Yeah, they look better (not just some bland white/black shape), have some more features than the iPod and plus...Why pay $300 for something called "iPod"? Whats the meaning in that? I know Zen means peace, and thats what I will have on meh birthday when I get my Vision:M

how much are zens running now days ? ive been getting tired of the itunes program to put music on my nano

S2000_Skyline12 · Post by **S2000_Skyline12** » 05 Apr 2007, 06:27

A Vision M is around $295, Microphoto- $180, Micro-$150...

Any other would not be of your time.

darknight788 · Post by **darknight788** » 05 Apr 2007, 07:07

ooo the microphoto looks interesting. whats the main difference between the microphoto and the M besides size and capacity or is the microphoto a scaled down version of the M ?
EDIT -- off the creative website the M is going for 250$ and the microphoto for 200$
EDIT 2 -- i just bought a Zen V plus 4GB. for 150$ judging from all the features it will smoke my 2 gb nano the nano may become the truck mp3 player now http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6855102010

S2000_Skyline12 · Post by **S2000_Skyline12** » 05 Apr 2007, 08:13

Well the prices of the Microphoto varies..

Stores:$185 for the 8GB (Just pictures, no videos, radio)
Site: $200

Vision M: $200 (30GB, videos, picture, radio)
$300(60GB, videos, picture, radio)

Did you have more than just $150 to spend? If you did, then you shouldn't have settled for a V Plus...You should have at least gone for the microphoto...Just don't drop it too much...my cousin did that with hers (Microphoto) and now when I turn it on, all i hear is the clicks from the HDD and it freezes at the startup screen.

darknight788 · Post by **darknight788** » 05 Apr 2007, 17:05

exactly i read reviews on newegg and i learned it was HDD based, the touch keys are very sensitive, and it is kinda thick. i want something that can take some abuse and isnt HDD based so i got a vplus

Yep

I love any Mp3 player what plays music im not into the detailed ones with Videos and other stuff i love the SRS Wow on my Mp3 player thats the best thing about it

I love my iPod Video and you guys aren't going to change my mind

It's got a 60GB hdd, and I can drive all the way from Southampton to Norwich and back (about 400 miles) and still not have heard even all my Motorhead collection

let alone even started Nirvana, G'N'R, Blondie, Status Quo, Roxy Music... etc etc etc

Only slight pity is that there are too many FM radio stations in the UK - very difficult to find a free part of the band for use with my TuneCast II fm transmitter (which is now finally legal in this country).

Steve Jobs said it himself. The iPod is successful for being a easy to use mp3-player, with a easy program (depends on what you do with it) that automatically synchronizes your music.

How easy is that? Features only doesn't make a product successful.

Stereo · Post by **Stereo** » 05 Apr 2007, 22:36

Zens are very easy to use aswell. I could use it outside of the box. Never took a look at the manual or support either.

Pretty much any .MP3 player is easy to use; Windows Media Player identifies the .MP3 player when it's plugged in, and with a few clicks, you're synchronizing your music. I'd rather use WMP than iTunes any day because iTunes is nearly impossible to get rid of once you've installed it.

Well, doh. Everybody recognizes a play button I guess..

I'm kinda getting tired of people that don't understand why ''inferior'' looking products are more successful. This thread never was meant to shiznit on Apple and iPod anyway.
