Hey all,

I just bought an Ipod Nano 8GB today. Not using iTunes but Winamp (gah it's still buggy though =/)

Anyways, what programs should I use to convert video to ipod format for example? I got a prog from DVDVideosoft but it doesn't support batches, and i really don't want to input each episode of American Dad seperately because it takes ages >.< I've googled for some converters but they all are trials and I'm not going to spend money on those programs.

So if anyone knows or got a program that can convert video files to ipod format in batches please post here


Also can someone explain to me how the "contacts" thing works? And if there are any good games/apps for the ipod (for free).

Cheers,

~Skye

 

Hi, well, off course you should get:

iTunes
podPlayer a little app that let's you play your iPod music on any computer, without iTunes, you can even copy the songs. Best thing: its freeware/donateware.
CopyTrans an app that lets you transfer your music from your iPod to any other place, the good thing is that is also imports the song's metadata (play count, rating) and your Playlists!
For converting videos: Videora works great!, you can even import and convert YouTube videos with it. That one is free too.

 

If you want really small sizes then I suggest 3GP for video. I don't remember who makes it, but it's freeware. It's not the Xilisoft. If I remember where I found it I'll let you know, but all I remember about it is it was called 3GP.

 

Errr... well, Videora can handle a lot of possible settings on reducing space for videos. =)
