Can the 30GB Apple iPod play full length movies?

Answer 1

here's how to put full movies on your ipod:

step 1.
go to this web address (do not include the spaces):
www .xilisoft. com /downloads /x-dvd-to-ipod-converter .exe
and download the xilisoft software.

step 2.
install it on your computer.

step 3.
unlock the program by opening it, going to the help tab and entering the following registration code (do not include the spaces):
F71DC344F73424E44D8538B9- 56E7 -92E2- 5D6D

(I have to put spaces in the links and registration code because yahoo will block this type of info otherwise)

step 4.
insert the dvd into your computer (you must have a dvd-rom drive on your computer to put dvds on your ipod)

step5.
on the xilisoft application, select profile and select the appropriate ipod.

step 6.
click on the dvd button on the xilisoft screen and select your dvd drive as the source.

step 7.
select the destination by picking which folder you would like to save the video to.

step 8.
once all the information has been gathered from your dvd, click the red record button to start ripping the dvd. this will take several hours because it must also convert the files to mpeg4 format.

step 9.
once the dvd has been ripped, open the folder you set as the destination and select the files you wish to put onto your ipod, you may want to preview these files first by playing them with quicktime.

step 10.
drag and drop the selected video files into your itunes library or use itunes to add the files to your library.

step 11.
plug your ipod into your computer and put the videos onto your ipod!

good luck!

Answer 2

Depends on the length of the movie and the condition of your iPod battery. I understand that Apple only advertises "up to 2 hours of video playback" for the 30GB iPod.
http://www.apple.com/ipod/specs.html

A movie like Pirates of the Caribbean is 143 minutes or 2 hours, 23 minutes long, presuming you can get that movie onto your iPod. So, an iPod 30GB player may not be able to play back a full length move as long as Pirates.

That's one of the reasons I got the Creative Zen Vision M instead. It advertises 4 hours of video playback on a single battery charge.

Answer 3

Yes it can. Get a program called Cucusoft Video. Ive got a lot of movies and plan on getting more.

Answer 4

Well, they say the 60GB can hold _150_HOURS_ of video; so half of that would be _75_HOURS_

The average movie is ninety minutes to three hours in length, so the answer is: YES.

Answer 5

Yes, as long as it will fit on the iPod itself. Just load it on and press play.

Answer 6

yes, it matters how many movies you put on there and after watching one movie the battry life is dead.
