Watching Video On The iPod

[jyl]

I've ripped a couple of TV episodes off DVD and into the wife's 5G iPod. It's more painless than I expected - using freeware HandBrake, getting 30 fps on the iMac - and it's surprisingly fun to watch video on the iPod.


Anyone else using the "video" part of their iPod?

Ive watched a few clips on the one that my dad has. While its better than I thought it would be I still dont see where it would be really useful to someone unless they spent a lot of time sitting down without anything to occupy themselves. But to each his own I guess.

Here's an absolutely kick ass mpeg utility that's completely free.

Been using it for a year now and it's fast.

Thanks for the links. I will pass them on to my brother.

I got him a 30gb Ipod with video... since I had to bring it to him from Dallas to France, I "had" to make sure that it functioned properly before he got it. Sitting on my 9 hour flight with a broken IFE system, I was really glad I had uploaded about 5 tv shows into his Ipod. Picture quality was really good. I used Videora which you can find here.
