If you have an iPod with a video player and would like to load it up with additional movies, the movies have to be converted into the MPEG 4 file format that is recognized by iPod. Some movie download websites have iPod ready movies that have already been converted. Movies that are not converted can be done so by downloading a free files conversion software program.
Most popular video conversion software programs available on the internet can handle this for you. These programs convert file formats from WMV, MOV, VOB, MPEG, AVI and other popular files formats used by many movies. Some programs are free of charge while premium programs require payment.
Aside from covering movies and films into the proper file format, you should also check to see if the movies are in a 640 by 480 video format. This is the format that all iPod viewers use. If the movie is not then the picture quality will be poor. Believe it or not there are software programs that can handle this too.
A 640 by 480 screen resolution is the best resolution for delivering crystal clear pictures on an iPod. If the movie does not match exactly, you will still be able to watch the movie but in less quality than it would normally be. It all depends on your personal preferences when it comes to quality and clarity.
Ipod video players are also great for storing and playing home movies and videos. You may have a recent video of friends, family or loved ones that you took while you where on vacation. These movies can easily be converted into MPEG 4 file formats by using QuickTime 7 Pro that is available for download.
So how do you transfer home videos to you iPod? It is very easy. Once you transfer the video file from your digital camcorder to you desktop computer, download QuickTime 7 Pro and start the program. You will see the title of the video that you want to transfer and convert in the top menu.
The file conversion starts as soon as you click the title of the movie and select convert. The computer will then complete the process for you. If you want to monitor the progress of the file conversion, QuickTime 7 Pro comes with a progress bar so you can monitor the conversion.
Once the conversion is complete for your home movie, you will be required to synchronize the movie on your computer with the iPod software before it can be transferred to your iPod. The synchronization process works the same way with home videos as it does with storing songs on your iPod.
