    I got myself a Touch, 16GB, which I found at a super bargain price. I replaced the Apple headset, which was of poor quality, and replaced them with high end ones. It's absolutely perfect for me. I already filled 3GB of music, and till I go back to school I'm going to fill it completely.

    Does anyone know what format for videos iPod supports?

    Been to:

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

    All of the iPods with screens can handle MPEG-4, or better yet H.264. Here's a complete guide.

    -edit-

    Nevermind, that guide is way out of date. Here's a more recent how-to primer.

    This appears to be the best one-stop-shop for converting video in this way.

    I believe most of the videos on my iPods are .mov files, including all the low res Red vs Blue episodes. I'm sure Apple has some drm format for the videos they sell too. Offhand I don't know of any other supported formats.

    edit: Lemur preceded me with better info, thanks for the link. :)

    Since Divx is becoming the de facto standard for storing your own video, here's a converter from Divx to iPod-friendly formats.

    Would you happen to know of a freeware/open source one?

    The only one that I've managed to find converts in real time...and if I ever look like I'm going to sit and wait for 40GB of divx to convert in realtime, please shoot me

    EDIT: Think I've found something, though this is reminding me why I should have got a dual core

    Besides pqdvd-to-ipod, Imtoo is pretty useful/popular. IIRC, they've got a whole suite of thingies... Afraid it's not free, although it's been a couple of years since I've used anything like that. Don't remember how fast it was... think something of the order of converting 250-300MB in a few minutes (i.e., pretty slow, if you've got 40GB to cover).
    Anyhow, I'll say again that the last time I looked for something like this was two years ago, and I'd hope more stuff has popped up in the meantime.

    Sorry if this post isn't very useful, I thought I'd share the little I know about this.
    Therapy helps, but screaming obscenities is cheaper.
