So I just got a 60GB iPod Video and from what I gather, transferring videos to it is a PITA. Does it have to be a certain format or something? How do I go about it?

Thanks in advance. :cheers:

i believe it has the be WMV, u can use a video converter to convert Mpegs and such, and its not hard u can use the ipod program or just open up the folder through my computer and copy and paste all the music and vids u want, i did it through trail and error by putting them on it and then playin them and deleting the ones that didnt work.

hope that was helpful.

Just use this free software called Videora Ipod Converter, it will convert it to the right format.

If you have a Mac there is a free program called Handbrake that rocks. I'm not sure if there is a port for windows though.

Thanks guys. Does converting it to the different format mess with the quality anymore?

It'll fuck with it some, but it shouldn't hurt it too much.

Almost all converters will let you choose the quality settings.

Thats not right, Ipod video formats are .mp4, or .m4v

Reps to those that I can. :cheers:
