How To Save Cash Purchasing iPod Films Online To Load Your Apple iPod System

By Potts Joseph

If you have an iPod with a video player and would like to load it up with additional movies, the movies have to be converted into the MPEG 4 file format that is recognized by iPod. Some movie download websites have iPod ready movies that have already been converted. Movies that are not converted can be done so by downloading a free files conversion software program.

MPEG 4 file format is the standard used by all iPod movie players. Movie that you choose to purchase from sources other than iPod ready website like iTunes must first be converted into MPEG 4 file format before you can watch the movie. The software you will need can be easily found by searching for movie conversion software in one of the major search engines.

It is never enough to convert a movie for your iPod. Ipod systems use a 640 by 480 screen resolution and therefore, the movies you convert should also match the same resolution. If the resolution does not match, the picture quality will look awfully distorted.

A 640 by 480 screen resolution is the best resolution for delivering crystal clear pictures on an iPod. If the movie does not match exactly, you will still be able to watch the movie but in less quality than it would normally be. It all depends on your personal preferences when it comes to quality and clarity.

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.

Once you download QuickTime 7 Pro, install the program on your computer. Next transfer the home video from your digital recoding device onto your hard drive. If you have not done so already, head over to Apple and download QuickTime 7 Pro and download and install the program.

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
