need help with Ipod

[BigAznDaddy]

Ok I just got an 30 gb Ipod yesterday and Now I have about 2000 songs on it. I was wondering how in the hell you put videos on it. I tried getting my dvd's and dragging the Video_TS folder into itunes. I tried dragging other stuff i got off the internet Ie. Avi files. can someone help me?

Videora iPod Converter.

Once you get them into an iPod-acceptable format you need to add them to your library via iTunes then you can add it to your iPod from the software.

Like trust said, import the video into itunes, and then there's the option in the a right-click menu that boils down to "convert video for ipod."

However, I like Lord's solution more, personally.  It's a more direct way to solve the problem.

Videora iPod Converter.

Super Troopers, which is about 680mb once converted to MP4 format by Videora, transfers in about 2 minutes.  I'm using Anapod Explorer, btw.

No what I'm saying is that he needs to import the video to iTunes in order to put it on his iPod. I didn't realize in his original post that he was trying to put a DVD on it, I thought he was just trying to drag and drop a video and it wouldn't go onto the iPod.

Anyway, I recommend MoviePod for conversion, it's great.

[Sidoh]

That's what I said with the same assumption..

Does MoviePod take nearly an hour to convert movies as well?

lol at your sig screenor.  was it... iago?!

MyndFyre. Fucker's using 1280 x 800 and bitches to me about the sig being "too wide". I SAY HIS RES IS 224 PIXELS TOO SMALL. 

THIS IS FOR YOU MYNDFYRE -

[MyndFyre]

lol at your sig screenor.  was it... iago?!

Nope, me.  My laptop is 1280x800.  I go by the rule of thumb that, if your signature takes more than half of my screen's height, I send a polite message asking you to change it or make it smaller.  Apparently someone just likes to be dumb.  

When I did sustained transfer with Anapod Explorer the other night (uploading Season 6 of Star Trek: Voyager, Super Troopers, and Star Trek: First Contact, I was getting a sustained transfer rate of 112mb/s (that's megabits, not megabytes, so about 14 MiB/s).  The videos transferred very quickly - much more quickly to my iPod than across the house over my wireless network (I did a two-step transfer).  At that rate, a 680-MiB file should take about 50 seconds to transfer.

Incidentally, using Anapod Explorer avoids the need for having iTunes or QuickTime on your system.  I use QuickTime Alternative to watch any .mov files in Windows Media Player, do playlist organization, and the like.  It's got Windows Explorer integration - pretty nice.

How am I being dumb?

[Furious]

Your signature sucked, don't get butt hurt over it.

[Newby]

Haha. I liked it. Just needed to be shrunk.

Anapod Explorer is incredible. It's the one piece of software I've purchased and been completely satisfied with.

It is incredible, so is Anapod Copygear...it made life so much easier when I got a new iPod. It's great.

I disagree.

My signature was fucking amazing. You're probably one of them you dirty little beaner.

[trust]

What was his sig?

[Newby]

Haha. He still took one of our jobs! :p

[Joe]

I agree fully with his signature, minus one point. My beef is with the Brazilians, not the Mexicans.

But yeah.. I'm running at 1600x1200 on a 19" montior and it was still too big.

[BigAznDaddy]

So anyways after all my Ipod shopping sprees i have nearly spent $400.
Ipod:$260
Ipod Case: $20
Ipod Screen protector: $10 (this was a jip cause i thought there was going to be more screens but it turns out there was only one )
Ipod Ihome: $100

Now I am Broke after saving up for nearly 2 months. O well it was a good investment.

[Newby]

All for a product that will be phased out once Microsoft decides it is time to end Apple's reign at the top.

[Joe]

For $20-$30 you should have gotten one of those leather (synthetic? oh well) cases that has the built in screen cover.

iHome is a piece of shit -- just take the base and run it into the aux on your stereo. You don't have to pay any extra ($3 to RadioShack for the cable, fine) and you get more boom for your buck.. quite literally, unless your stereo sucks, in which case life.exit(-1);

I like the iHome.

[trust]

I have the leather Apple case. It's pretty sweet but definitely not worth the $100 price tag. (Woo, I got mine for $31!)
