bought an ipod video today ...help!

[pyrocam]

me and buggy had a chat about this the other day. easiest solution is to get the latest version of quicktime and spam serial numbers into it until you get the right one. a mate of mine did this (I dont condone stealing from apple) and went through about 25 keys before getting the right one.

ooh, you must be L33T!
is that us iPod owners pwned?
strike now, you've really got us on the ropes.

Haha...I don't actually have anything against them. They do seem to be the cool thing to have at the moment, kinda like drinking short blacks or red wine...I sometimes wonder if people actually like using iPods (or drinking short blacks or red wind) or if they just do it because they perceive it as the cool thing to do. There's a woman just like that at work, she'll do anything if she thinks others might think that she's cool because she's doing it.

And the post was really to try and understand why this thread was posted here and not "rave on".

Download this, this is what I use
Videora Ipod converter

thats what i am trying to use just now...but it's going funny:S it does the vid too fast for the audio so it plays the video like 4 times during length of the song ...do i have to set it up or something? :S can't find any obvious settimng for it what mode do i have to set it to convert to or is there another setting to stop it doing this?

[Suney]

i think you might have the wrong birate or resolution
ipods use 384kbps with 320x240
i can't remember
goto www.ilounge.com and browse the forums there, theres heaps of articles there n stuff
what colour did you end up getting?

[skidMark]

black because i bought a white phone earlier this year...scratched like crazy...also figured the black would make the video stand out rather than the distraction of white

[skidMark]

i wouldve thought that would affect the audio also though?

[DogBreath]

ok so i buy my new ipod video today.....

and get ìt home....video won't go onto it wrong format...so eventually find on ipod website..

you need to have quicktime 7 PRO and on the cd they give me quiktime 7 ...which doesnt vhave the export feature to change it into the correct format...

use pretty much any converter, on a mac use ffmpegX, on a intel use ffmpeg, should be free (ripped) for windoze machine. $50 on mac.
Pay attention to macroblock explanation, this is important.
Also note hi res may not be necessary if you do not want to play back on TV, so go for lower res, more vids/disc eh.
Have fun
