Ipod Trouble

[Freeman]

Hey I'm just wondering, does anybody know how i can download the software that converts your videos from digital cameras and on your computer into the format that can be loaded onto your ipod? Ive been looking everywhere and cant find anything except places in USA charging $50.

Thanks everybody,

First off, what is the format for Ipods? And what format does your video camera use?

[predator]

Quicktime Pro... but unfortunately you do have to pay for it.. I think $40AUD

Its a very slow painful process for longer videos. If it was faster in converting from other formats, it would make the whole ipod video more versatile as a useful video player.

The video for ipod is in .m4v, which is an MPEG4 file, with Apple's own protection algorithm built in.

Crap sounds a bit too hard to be done. Thanks for your help

Hey good news i found Cucusoft Ipod movie converter and downloaded it from CNet. It works really quick in converting the files into Mpeg 4 but now i dont know how to view them. I dragged and dropped the file into my music list, and it copied to my ipod under 'Movies' in the video section but it only plays the audio, not the visual. Does anyone know why? This also happened when i copied come music videos off my friends computer. Ive got no idea

you need quicktime seven

and not the pro version

im on a iBook with iTunes 6.0.1 and quicktime 7.0.2 (or something like that) and all i have to do is open the videos with quicktime and/or add them to my iTunes library and it does all the conversion for me

iTunes is the best music program there is

ive tried many (both on macs and pc's) and found that iTunes is the easiest to use

it does have some issues on some pc's, but that the reason why u should all go to macs :)
