ive got a 30GB video ipod.. first off
i cant figure out how to get damn video's
on it.

h*LL

annnd, if you import a cd when your not connected
to the internet, it usually shows up
Track 01
Track 02
Track 03 etc...

Just making the obligatory "Have you read the manual?" post.

It doesn't take any longer to rip a cd in itunes than it does with any other program. With the whole tracks thing you need to be connected to the internet because it pulls the CD info from a database online. Not from the actual CD. If you don't like that then use another program to rip the CD then add the files to itunes. (fyi windows media player does the same thing)

Can't help with the video thing. Never used one.

manual... No, dont really have enough patience honestly to sit there and read it,. i was on the apple support website didnt do me much good. they have alot of question and answer stuff but i thought to try here see if any other ipod users had any info...

For the video files, you need to convert the movies/videos to mp4 format. Search for a converter, then you simply go to File --> Add file to library, and it should put it in there. I tried it with a Family Guy episode with my friend's iPod Video, and it didn't work. Why, I don't know, but it should work for you.

i have the same one you have strtracer and i dont think it even came with a manual.

My friend has tried uploading some videos and he says if your uploading a dvd you have to convert from the DVD format(forgot the file extension name) to an MP4. Not sure if thats it but he usually knows what hes talking about.

thanks guys ill try it and see if it works... if anyone else knows anything feel free to leave it [img]smile.gif[/img]
Do you know if i can get those Track 01, Track 02 titles to the actual file name,..
in iTunes there is an option that says get cd track names but i tried that and it didnt work..
thanks for the help so far though.

DVD's are in mpeg 2 format.

To rip a DVD to an ipod, you'll have to rip the DVD to an mpeg.

Then convert to an MP4, I think quicktime will do this. BTW, who would want to watch a movie on a tiney 2.5" screen?

[97rs4life]

videos need to be converted to mp4 (download a converter)

track name info, you need to be on the internet before loading the cd

I love watching movies on my tiny 2.5" screen before bed or on the road. ;)

I have like 12 movies on mine and 3400 songs so far.

lol i have 150 songs on mine... but then i just have one of the nanos.. and dont really need that many songs

[shenanigans]

Its broken, Mail it to me and I'll fix it.

yeah for some reason I cannot convert to mp4, I have quicktime pro, but i dont get sound with my video
I just download the files
I search for ipod in the video section on limewire
i got anchorman, napolean dynamite, wedding crashers, and a couple others

hit me up on AIM (steveyd88) tonight and ill send you the program that i have. all you need to do then is go onto mscracks, and you can get a serial code, and youre all set.

i actually think that its faster putting cd's onto itunes than wmp or any other program. are you sure it isnt just the cd that doesnt have the tracks labelled? a lot of the cheaper/older cd's that i have dont have the data on them. it just takes a min to go through and type it in.
