Putting Downloaded Video on new Ipod

So its actually pretty simple to make this happen. Basically you need a couple pieces of software, a fast internet connection and some time. First you need to find the content. There are a few "Legal" shows that you can put on your video ipod now. Most of those come from the Itunes store and cost $1.99. Another way of getting content onto your video pod is by using bittorrent to find a tv show that you want to watch. For the sake of showing you how to Hypotheticaly use this I'll just pick a show that you "could" download using bittorrent. Say you were a huge fan of "My name is Earl." You could type that into google and find a bittorrent feed. After you have downloaded the episode you could open it using quicktime pro. Then assuming you have the right plugins for quicktime you can either watch it on your computer or export it to watch on your ipod. This is very easy with the new update to quicktime pro. After exporting (which take a while) you can then double click on it and it will be added to your itunes video library. Then plug in you video pod (which none of us have yet) and sync it. Then just watch. Indextop20051013

Hey Lars, I want to comment on like the last five posts. Sorry to hear about your laptop. That makes me sad as well. I have toyed with the idea of switching to apple here soon but I just have so much data that I need to keep on my PC.

I am sure at least one of your boys will compete in the X games 2025. Soren is fearless!

As for the Ipod, I feel like they are short changing us a bit by with holding recording and radio capabilities that are standard on other players. Okay, God Bless. ... Oh, I am going surfing this week in Corwall England! Newquay here I come!
