No doubt about it but the iPod and iPhone are the hottest gadgets in the individual electronic widget world today. In truth in excess of 220 million iPods have been sold as of September 2009. It allows you to run your music to enjoy, and show your photos to make you reminisce about the moments and give you video to see and let moments pass pleasurably, anytime, anywhere, while as the batteries last. Pleasure is guaranteed if you have the correct ipod parts and your iphone screen are authentic products, because there are iPod rip-offs masquerading as the authentic. They appear almost alike with virtually identical features, but way off in utility.

At the time the video-capable iPod Nano was initially released, it can run video solely from iTunes store, the iPod shop for music and videos. It is unable to play other videos as is, although a third-party software was available to transform these videos into iPod-playable materials. Today the later-version iTunes 6.0.2 could convert videos in MOV, MPEG and MP4 set-ups into clips that can be read by iPods in H.264 format. Because the video clips are merely 320 pixels wide, they are nice when watched in iPods but not so when seen on TV or personal computers.

To convert an finished video file into iPod playable material, you need to first access your iTunes library. Then you can include the videos to the library by drag-and-drop method into your iTunes library window. Pick out the clips for conversion then right click your mouse to open a new pop-up window where you select the ‘Convert Selection to iPod’. The chosen files will be routinely converted to iPod-readable format. The conversion process may be seen by clicking ‘Source’ and afterwards ‘Converting Songs’.

Two files of the identical video now exist in your library. You can check the viewing of their Properties and see the ‘Date Added’ rank. If you wish you can erase the original file and keep the iPod-ready file, or you could save both. Either way, you can transfer the iPod-ready file to your iPod and make it viewable anytime and anywhere of your convenience or need. You can do this to as many files you can cram into your iPod library.

To convert videos using iTunes, choose the video and select Advanced> Create iPod or iPhone version. Abide by the instructions. When using QuickTime player, choose the share>iTunes and select the iPhone/Ipod version. The video will be routinely altered to iPod readable format. Then, of course, there are many third parties who have clips for iPods and you can access them also.

So you now have your well-liked videos you can watch in your iPod and you can get pleasure from them as you desire. But, it must be remembered that iPods and iPones are unable to play videos that are in high definition (HD) formats, only in standard definition (SD). But if you purchase videos from iTunes, your package should have both an SD format video for your iPod/iPhone and an HD one for the video player or computer.
