By Max on Dec 9, 2007 in MP3 Players
The iPod Classic can play videos and bring entertainment to you wherever you are. Videos like podcasts, TV shows, movies and music videos can be bought through the online store, iTunes or Google Video. You can easily import those movies and videos to your iPod through the iTunes software. The updated version of the iPod Classic has enhanced its video capabilities in order to achieve a longer playback time for videos.
iTunes is an American favorite in digital music stores, and soon to become your pick in digital movie players. They have best sellers, new releases, and every movie will be downloaded at almost DVD quality, with a 640-by-480 resolution.
When you first open your iPod, you will receive an account with iTunes. If you have not already looked into all that iTunes has to offer, sign into your account now. You can use your current Apple or AOL account to gain access to buy songs and videos. If you do not have an account, signing one up is free and easy.
iPod Video - Its easy and fun
Once you are logged in, you can browse the many digital items that are available for purchase and download. There are almost 1000 movies from major movie and film studios. You can buy movies, music videos, and TV shows. You can even purchase an entire season of your favorite TV show. After you have decided what you would like to put onto your iPod Classic with video, proceed to the checkout and make your purchases.
With the enhanced video support available with iTunes, users are able to drag and drop any movie clips to the iTunes library from their own computers for organization and cataloging purposes. The video content that used to be available was encoded and protected. They can now be viewed either full screen or in a small frame inside the main display.
You can add the TV shows and movies that you purchased the same way that you would add songs to your iPod. The settings on your iPod let you set it to automatically sync all videos and movies when you connect your iPod to your computer. Optionally, you can set it to manage your lists manually, so that you will be able to add video from more than a single computer while not erasing everything that is on your iPod. These are managed in the Music tab in iTunes.
The default setting for iPod classic is to sync when you connect your iPod to the computer. This is the easiest and fastest way of adding movies and videos to your iPod Classic. All you do is connect the iPod to the computer and it will start adding any recently added videos to your iPod from your computer. So, basically, anything you may have added to your iPod since your last connection to the computer will now be added to your computer. Also, if you have deleted anything since the last connection, they will be deleted from your iPod Classic.
