How To Save Cash Buying iPod Films On The Internet To Load Your iPod Player

By Lancaster Cain

Nowadays, people are fascinated with their iPods. They are the perfect portable entertainments systems that can be taken wherever you go. Movie watching has become extremely popular on these portable viewers. Now because of the internet, you can get an unlimited supply of movies and films in MPEG 4 file format.

Most popular video conversion software programs available on the internet can handle this for you. These programs convert file formats from WMV, MOV, VOB, MPEG, AVI and other popular files formats used by many movies. Some programs are free of charge while premium programs require payment.

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.

Some people prefer to use their iPod movie players as a back up for storing home videos. This is a novel idea since a typical system can store a lot of movies. The added value to transferring your home movies to an iPod means you will be able to watch precious family moments where ever you go. You can use QuickTime 7 Pro to accomplish this.

So how do you transfer home videos to you iPod? It is very easy. Once you transfer the video file from your digital camcorder to you desktop computer, download QuickTime 7 Pro and start the program. You will see the title of the video that you want to transfer and convert in the top menu.

Once everything is in place, you just have to launch QuickTime 7 Pro and click on the title of the home video that you want to transfer. The process is very simple and only takes a few minutes of your time. This program will allow you to transfer all of your precious home videos and keepsakes.

Once the conversion is complete for your home movie, you will be required to synchronize the movie on your computer with the iPod software before it can be transferred to your iPod. The synchronization process works the same way with home videos as it does with storing songs on your iPod. - 30518
