Converting Your Own Videos to Work With iPod
You can view other video files on iPod, such as videos you create in iMovie (on a
Macintosh) or videos you download from the Internet. Import the video into iTunes, if
necessary convert it for use with iPod, and then download it to iPod.
iTunes supports all the same video formats that QuickTime supports.
To import a video into iTunes:
m Drag the video file to the iTunes library.
Some videos may be ready for use with iPod once you import them to iTunes. If you try
to download a video to iPod (see “Updating iPod Automatically” on page 34 for
instructions), and a message says the video can’t play on your iPod, then you must
convert the video for use with iPod.
To convert a video for use with iPod:
1 Select the video in the iTunes library.
2 Choose Advanced > “Convert Selection for iPod.”
Depending on the length and content of a video, converting it for use with iPod can
take several minutes to several hours.
Note: When you convert a video for use with iPod, the original video remains in your
iTunes library. If you still see a message saying a video can’t play on your iPod, you may
wish to delete the original video from iTunes.
