iPod video

[Meysha]

I hope everyone had a good christmas and is now looking forward to an excellent new year! My xmas was awesome. Age came up from Brisbane and well it was awesome.

My question (yes there is one).... Does anyone else have an iPod Video? I got one for Xmas and I'm having a little bit of trouble getting video onto it. Specifically how the hell does quicktime pro work? I've got it but I can't open my files and so I can't convert them or whatever.

So how do I get non quicktime files converted into ipod format?

Try the Apple site first.

It might be that you need the right Codec's to convert the video's. Try here

Thanks Hertz duuude. I actually figured it out pretty much straight after I posted. I found a great program that does it... and now I have Anchorman on my iPod!!! Woo Hoooo.... I'm such a nerd.

hmm I'm still having problems with my version of quicktime though - for some reason it's not exporting. weird. And these quicktime files wont work with this other converter I downloaded. grrr this is so frustrating.
