    I got an ipod video, when I use video function I can watch the first 30 to 50 sec of the movie and then automatically gets in pause and restarts after few seconds but without sound
    If I press play again reestarts but only last 30 to 50 seconds with sound
    what should I do to watch a full movie or video without this problem?

    Firstly, does this happen with every video, or just the one? If it is just the one, it may be an isolated video issue. However, it is more likely to be a firmware issue..

    Which version of the iPod firmware are you running? (To check which version you are using, from the main menu on your iPod, go "Settings" --> "About", then next to "Version", it will tell you which vers. you have installed :)

    I have the same problem with my iPod, (Ver. 1.1)

    I cant figure out how to fix it, and am horrible at computers, is there a really EASY way to fix the audio portion of the movies?

    Yeah, it's extremely simple. Downgrade your firmware to version 1.0, or upgrade to the latest (version 1.1.1, I believe). The v1.1 is extremely buggy, and video playback is one of the main issues.

    The easiest thing to do would be to upgrade your firmware, as the latest version (v1.1.1) hasn't thown up any video playback issues thus far. You can download the latest updater here;
