Video iPOD
 

Hey guys! Anyone know if it is possible to get my videos from the Greatest Hits CD onto my video iPOD?

as i don't have a video ipod, i have no clue...but there should be a way with itunes. pop the disc in and open itunes and see what happens...i would think there would be a way to.

oh, forgot, if not that way i mentioned above, you'll have to find out what kind of extension the files are that go on the video ipod. then you can rip the dvd and convert to that type of file and you should be able to put them on.

it doesn't register with iTUNES when I put the disc in - and I can't figure out how to rip the CD cuz it won't let me find it with iTUNES and it auto-plays with Windows media player and neither one of those will let me add any of the files to the library but I get no error message or anything - just nothing happens - so I don't know if that means it is a protected disc or if it just isn't workin?

Re: Video iPOD
 

the file format for the videos to be in is mp4...you most likely will need a video converter to do so...there are no good free ones unfortunatly...

Well ok. Since I dont have the greatest hits CD I cant tell you with a definate yes or no. But I have VH1/Alcatraz videos on my video iPod. I had to convert them using iPod Movie Converter from ImTOO. I recommend thier products. Now, in order for this to work we have to assume that you can successfully copy the video to your harddrive in standard video formats (.mpg, .avi, etc). If you can do that, then the program will work. The program is self explanitory and easy to use. Once you get them converted, just drag and drop the converted video files into iTunes just as you would with any old song. Bada ding!

Again, since I dont have the greatest hits I can't give anymore advice than that. I hope I didnt confuse you any further.
