How to get videos on your iPod video

The iPod video is known as the last generation of iPods, which surprised the market and sales since its appearance. Basically, this new device to play videos. If this seems like fun, the technical part need some guidance. 

First you must know that both PSP and iPod can play H.264 / MP4 encoded videos with AAC audio tracks. Because of this fact, the decision is quite limited, with the limitation of bitrates, you can use your device. For the new iPod video, limits this way (for the H.264 video) up to up to 768 Kbps, 320 × 240 and 30 frames per second. For MPEG-4 video, are the limits up to 2.5 Mbps, 480 x 480 and the same 30 frames per second. Even more, AAC audio bit rate is around 160 Kbps. After establishing these limits, the next step is to determine the source of the video, which can be either from a DVD or a video on the computer. 

In other words, the company Apple claims, in a purely informative ad which is posted on the official website that the new iPod, which they call the new iPod video, can store 15, 000 Songs, 25, 000 photos and not less than 150 hours of video. 

If want to get a video from a DVD, so the first thing you need to do is insert the DVD into the unit. After that, open (if not it does not immediately open by itself) the DVD using the file and open the DVD menu. Check the settings in the DVD menu to set everything up as you like, meaning language, subtitles or chapters. Start playing the movie using the DVD menu to navigate. When the videos begin, press the record button and select the folder where you want to save the recorded files. When you want to stop recording, simply click the stop button and if the recording goes well, there will be a screen confirmation that you have converted your file successfully. 

If you want to convert a video from your computer to your iPod video, so the first thing you should do is go to the menu file and click open video file. After this, your video should start playing that perfect moment to adjust the video you want. Furthermore you can set the perfect time to start recording using the bottom playback. Once you've decided to click the button record and feel free to stop it at any time. After recording just in case of import videos from a DVD device, there will be a message on screen saying that everything went on successfully. 

If respecting these basic rules, the videos and movies stored carefully in your iPod and you will be free to see them anytime. Still, be aware of the fact that the iPod offers limited space and resolution, which means that you must be choosy when deciding what to keep and what to delete. The new iPod video is a challenging and innovative product that combines music with images, offering, for the first time the possibility of playing video on such a small digital device.
