there must be a way...

After upgrading to iTunes 7 I noticed that I had a "video" section on my iPod. I don't have a video iPod, but I was looking around and my Ask A Ninja stuff was in the video section and it played. So, my question is: What else will this play? I tried encoding a movie clip to H.264 and the iPod wouldn't play it (iTunes did, of course). So maybe this is a stupid question, but if a video podcast will play, there must be a way to get other videos to play. ... right?

 

erm... what ipod is it?

if its a nano get linux

 

I have a 30 gig ipod, 4th gen (I think). Color display, click wheel.
Further information to add: I downloaded a TV show from itunes and my ipod played it.

 

is this it (4th gen)


or this (5th gen)

 

He says he doesn't have the video iPod. But this is really weird that it plays video without any problems or anything....I've never heard of this without Linux installed.

 

yeah, thats why i asked what 1 it is ( photo or video )

it is weird if its the photo

 

If it is a Photo than we have just discovered something amazing lol.

 

well people have cracked the photo with ipod wizard to play videos... without linux...

 

iPodWizard?????? That is a program that allows you to change the themes/fonts of your iPod, I'm 99.9% sure you can't get videos on the iPod with iPodWizard lol.

Post some pictures man Im dying with anticipation!

 

this is a shot of my ipod playing The Office. Do you want a shot of the menus? Huh. So I'm the only one with this happening. I guess I'll have to keep messing around with it.

 

Oh damn. That's embarassing. Guess there's a reason it says (newbie) next to my name...

 

@kwiktrip

Heres how to post your photos here. Go to a image-hosting site such as photobucket.com and setup an account. Upload your photo(s) and then put the url you have then into the your photo should appear then.

 

OK, lets try this again.
I'm also waiting for youtube.com to process a video of it. I'll put the url up when it's ready.

 

dude, maybe it plays because its a VIDEO!!

 

it's a little blurry, but here is a youtube link:

LOL!!! Yes, this is an iPod Video. I'm surprised you didn't know that.....

 

Were you stoned why you bought your iPod man??? That iPod is meant to play Videos, it is the iPod video. It's ok bro, I have had some blond moments to.
