QFT, It's fast and it works...just don't update your ipod to the newest firmware. You can also download something called fairplay to convert dvd's to divx and then use videora to convert...
 
If you have a 60GB do NOT upgrade to 1.1 if you plan to use videora to convert your videos. Apparently Nero Recode works fine but the majority of people don't use it.
 
Have you seen any videos on the iPod video yet? If so can you comment on the watchability, colours, etc...? Is it worth it?

Thanks

QFT.

I bought a 30 GB iPod Video last Saturday. Podcasts are an easy way to get some preformated and nice content on an iPod. If you use iTunes, there's a Link in the iTunes Music Store to the Video Podcast section. I never got into audio podcasts though.

I've subscribed to three video podcasts so far, iTunes automatically checks them for updates (that typically get online once a week). These are not links for iTunes, they point to the normal website of the podcasters, so everybody can download the content and view it with the Quicktime compatible movie player of their choice:

Happy Tree Friends Good old cartoon violence. Now portable. (NSFW)

Vintage Tooncast A cartoon from the 30's or 40's once a week. (If 400 people sign a petition, the site owner will release a 72 minute long cartoon of Gulliver's Travels. Just in case somebody wants to initiate the ATOT effect). (NSFW according to the podcaster)

Ask A Ninja Homemade humor. You mail questions. The ninja answers. My favorite so far 😀

I've also downloaded the one-time release How It's Made about the fabrication of technical items. But I don't know if it is interesting yet.



About the Display: It surprised me that the brightness is significantly higher than on my iBook (but then again, the iBook's display is far from bright by today's laptop standards). The view angle is good in my opinion (two persons don't have a problem watching a movie on the same iPod). The display isn't very big and I have yet to test if I can stand a 30 minute movie, but the dpi is high and I only notice the pixels when I touch the iPod with my nose, so to speak 😉 The video feature needs much more power than just listening music and the display is, like the entire iPod surface, sensitive to scratches. After a few unprotected minutes in my (empty) jeans poket I already registered some tiny scratches. I always thought some iPod owners are scratchophobians but now I know better.

Does anybody know other good Video Podcasts?

A bit small, but very watchable. I download a lot of quicktime videos online and convert them to iPod video format using QT Pro. I also downloaded a couple TV shows from the iTunes store for free during their promo. Battle Star Galatica and Monk. Good stuff. I'm gonna try the Videora ipod converter tonight for full length movies and TV shows.
