Downloading free videos for ipod?/Converting video file for ipod use?

Question

Where is a good place to download free videos for my ipod. Or what program is good to use to convert videos into the proper format for playing on my ipod? P.S what is the format called?

Answer 1

download from

http://www.limewire.com
http://www.bearshare.com

or rent a dvd and rip it

then convert using xilisoft.

here's how:

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.
to add a dvd, 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.
or for a video on your computer select the appropriate file you wish to convert.

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

Quicktime Pro is good for converting stuff like home movies and downloaded movies, but it costs 30.00$. Look it up and read about it at apple. I use a program called Xilisoft DVD to iPod Converter for converting my DVD's into iPod format. It's a good program that you can test with a trial.

Answer 3

well it depends on what kind of videos you want. and i dont think theres like a program u need to use. bcuz i got this video that was like nt the right file and i just followed the instructions and it worked... so u just have the video on itunes right? well then u right click on the video and then theres a thing called convert to ipod format? or sumthing like that and u just press that and then u can watch it on ur ipod

Answer 4

the proprietary format itunes uses for downloaded music store videos (protected) is .m4v. That format can be protected, or unprotected, and is no larger than 320X240 resolution. .mp4 can also be used for the videos on the video ipod. .m4a is unprotected mp4 audio and .m4p is protected mp4 audio.

videora ipod converter converts most anything to mp4. tunebite platinum converts protected itunes and windows media videos to wmv, which can then be converted with videora.

Answer 5
