Ipod Touch

BADGIRL500 · #1 (**permalink**) 04-22-2009, 07:42 AM

How does one go about converting video that is on their computer to load into an ipod touch? Have a couple of videos that I would like to put on Ipod, and I have tried to add the file to Itunes, as well as drga it into Itunes and it wont take. I think the file extension is a wmv and I thing that is the problem. Does it need to be a mpeg4 file?

Go to Apple store download Quicktime 7 (free)+ not sure but you may need Quicktime pro($$not sure how much I paid) that converts to what you need

Yes you are right mpeg4 is the codec.

You will need to convert the files.

Many free shareware programs on the web will do this for you. My favorite is Handbrake: HandBrake

I am extremely frustrated! I have tried nu,erous things and I cannot get that stupid video onto my ipod touch! I tried the software that JTB suggested, would not convert it. Finally converted video and got it into itunes, went to update ipod and it told me video did not transfer because it does not support the video and it was with the extension mpeg4....I am ready to throw the ipod up against the walll!!!!

Do you have an Apple store near you? I'm sure they can help. Put your converted video on a flash drive or cd & take it with you.
