    I have gone on some ipod forums sites like www.ipodwizard.com and there are talk that you are able to hide your videos with some programs. That programs that I read were "linux" and "rockzilla" or something like that. I want to know is it possible to hide your videos and if so can sum1 please tell me how to do it.
    Thanks

    I've never heard of locking separate videos, but have you heard of the screen lock? On your iPod go to [bold]extras-->screen lock-->set combination.[/bold] Then, you can set the combination to lock the iPod. If you forget your password, then you can plug the iPod into the computer to unlock it. ;-)

    This doesn't technically hide them, though. Anyone who has access to a computer can browse the files on your iPod very easily.

    I read of a way to hide your videos!
    you have to use rockbox or linux and make another folder to put it in ... Or something like that
    Heres the link to where I found the info
    http://www.ipodwizard.net/showthread.php?t=9319&highlight=Hidden+Videos
    I would try it myself but I don't really understand how.
    If someone could test it out and post back that would be great.
    Thanks
    Hope you reply

    IDK, it sounds like it is alot of work for such a simple, worthless feature. I won't use the feature personally, but I can tell my friends to ry it and see how it works for them. I'll post back tomorrow after I ask them.

    KhmerKing,

    By the time my long tutorial is finished, [bold]everything[/bold] will have been covered.. even iPodLinux. However, I cannot just magic these tutorials up and tell you guys things are safe to use.. I do a lot of testing & dabbling, because no matter what some people say about iPod hacks and mods, they can easily wreck a perfectly good iPod up if the instructions are vague or hard to follow.

    Wait, watch & learn :)
