Getting Videos Into Your 5G iPod For Free

This was bound to happen : People everywhere have describe how to get their videodisc movies and TV shew onto the new video iPod for free . And really , it ’s not that dissimilar from rip a movie onto the PSP , except for a different transfer process . For fledgeling , we found this fantabulous HOWTO from Mark Pilgrim on how to rend DVD movies to your iPod on the Mac side , which require a download ofMacTheRipperandHandBrake(Look ma , no Quicktime Pro ! ) . The former will pull the DVD , while the latter will change over the movie to an iPod clear format . There ’s also this trick on how to do it on the Windows side from dapreview , which is essentially the same method as with the PSP ( usingDVD DecrypterandAutoGK ) , but ending with usingQuicktime 7 Proinstead ofPSPVideo9 . But it turns out you do n’t need Quicktime Pro anyway — we received this e-mail from reader David on how to get TV display from his ReplayTV to his video iPod using just PSPVideo9 ( we ’re assuming you’re able to do the same with TiVo To Go with a few minor changes ) . Instructions after the jump .

Because of my defeat with QuickTime Pro process , and because I have a PSP ( I love new appliance ) , I decided to try and use the output signal PSP format and see if it would act for iTunes and IPod guess what … … … .. it did . ( The software will also work to convince any MPEG-2 format to IPod , you do n’t want to have a PSP for this to work ) .

Here is the formula for mere success

Mission Impossible 8 Underwater

1- Download your video from your ReplayTV using DVArchive ( shareware on Sourceforge ) or just find some MPEG-2 Video you have hang around

2- Use PSPVideo9 ( shareware – donate if you may – I am not in anyway affiliated with them ) http://www.pspvideo9.com/

( you’re able to choose the best setting ie . 30fps + best audio setting ( or you may choose less quality for little file sizing you have a boastful IPod drive go for it )

3- Use the File Open and point to the converted video

4- pull and drop to your new IPod ( video version )

I used highest quality recording setting on my ReplayTV , and used highest conversion place setting on PSPVideo 9 software a result Seinfeld episode was about 630 mb ( which is nothing for my 30 GB IPod ) .

The TV is arresting and while many may remember they could n’t check a show on the screen , it is absolutely incredible .

One other quick insight to share . Apple suggest you apply QuickTime Pro ( 29.99 ) and then purchase the MPEG-2 fireplug in ( another 19.99 ) . Inform hoi polloi do n’t try this . I did both and the existent issue is that you involve to select a “ export to IPod ” option and whether it is a .MOV or an MPEG-2 , 1 second of video took me over 45 minutes to change over on a Windows personal computer with 2.8ghz Pentium 4 processor which was unsufferable . The above conversion using PSPVideo 9 software for a 30 instant video was 16 moment .

Now was n’t that insightful ? You could also expend this freeVideora Converterthat will convert any video you have into the H.264 data formatting ( for Windows only ) . There are also many other places you may download pre - formatted videos for your iPod , via several bittorrent server for example . So there you have it : You ’re no longer draw to video recording podcasts , euphony videos , and $ 1.99 TV shows that you did n’t like much anyway . Go ahead and stick it to the man .
