07 Dec 09 How To Transfer AVI Picture Files And Play Them On Your Convenient iPod System
You can pack your movie iPod system with a lot of movies from sources other than iTunes. There are many sources for new and old movies online that can be downloaded and prepared for iPod viewing. Before you can watch a movie on your iPod screen, the movie file must first be converted into an MPEG 4 which is standard for iPod viewers.
The software programs online can easily convert most popular movie files formats. These formats include WMV, MOV, VOB, MPEG, AVI and many others. In many cases you may be able to find the conversion software online for free. Some paid retail products are excellent for file conversions.
Aside from covering movies and films into the proper file format, you should also check to see if the movies are in a 640 by 480 video format. This is the format that all iPod viewers use. If the movie is not then the picture quality will be poor. Believe it or not there are software programs that can handle this too.
If a movie does not match the iPod movie system, you will still be able to hear and see the movie, but the picture will be distorted resulting in an unpleasant movie experience. iPod does allow for a slight change in resolution but not by much. It is always better to match the exact resolution required by Apple.
Ipod video players are also great for storing and playing home movies and videos. You may have a recent video of friends, family or loved ones that you took while you where on vacation. These movies can easily be converted into MPEG 4 file formats by using QuickTime 7 Pro that is available for download.
The process of transferring home movies is very simple. Once you download the program, just launch the program on your computer. You should already have the home video transferred to your computer or laptop. After launching QuickTime 7 Pro, click the corresponding title of the movie that you want to convert in the menu.
The file conversion starts as soon as you click the title of the movie and select convert. The computer will then complete the process for you. If you want to monitor the progress of the file conversion, QuickTime 7 Pro comes with a progress bar so you can monitor the conversion.
After the conversion process comes to an end, the movie is ready to be transferred to your iPod player. To accomplish this step, just synchronize you iPod to your computer, much the way you would do for all iPod content, and the file will be transferred. You can store as many movies as your iPod can handle by following these simple steps.
