iPod Video

I ordered my video ipod off amazon recently and was wonderin what file format the videos have to be to put onto ur ipod?

H.264 (.m4v) and MPEG-4 (.mp4). I use Videora to convert videos and it's worked perfectly so far, no complaints about it at all...

Yeah i use Videora to convert my videos aswell..

I also have PQ DVD Converter to rip DVD's.. Its pretty awesome, it rips an entire movie down to around 200mb.

I use all of the Imtoo tools. They work better than great and i have been able to put a few dvd's and video clips of my pod.

£173 and 30GB. Thats like a little more than $350. I am downloading videos off youtube as .flv so could anybody tell me a good program that I can use to convert the files into MP4 or M4V

I use the 3GP converter, free and easy. Once you have it to a version itunes will accept, you can use itunes to convert it to the kind that will actually go on your ipod. Or you can convert it directly with 3GP

I play videos/movies on my Nano. The shitty thing is that it only supports uncompressed AVI files, so a movie occupies almost all of the iPod memory (4GB).

some guy i know is selling me a 30G Ipod Video for $230 is that a good deal?

and now a very important quesiton, say you have tons of mp3 in your computer already, could you transfer them into your IPod Video? I heard that only music you paid for in Itunes are transferrable ... correct me if im wrong.

That's wrong, you can transfer any MP3's over to it.

Does anybody know any good programs to convert .flv files to mp4 files for my video ipod?
