coverting film files to put on my i pod

hollywoodnails

Hi all Ive had my i pod classic for nearly a year and can do most things with it but the one thing ive never learn t to do is put films on it .I know you need to convert them to mp4 but i dont know how to do this.
Ive download two convert packages but both of them leave a water mark on the film saying sample . This is because its a free trail.

can any point me in the right direction please. Is there a free converter out there that wont leave a big sample sign right through the film or is there a easy way i can convert it my self.

thanks in advance:beer:

It'll take a little setting up, but you can set up Staxrip to encode to something the ipod can play.

iPod can play the following video formats:

• H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 x 480, 30 frames per sec., Low-Complexity version of the H.264 Baseline Profile audio up to 160 kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
• H.264 video, up to 768 kbps, 320 x 240, 30 frames per sec., Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
• MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 x 480, 30 frames per sec., Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file format

edit: http://handbrake.fr/ appears to have an ipod profile built in, so that'll probably be easier.

Their is also a program called 3GP Converter available freely. Its a simple drag and drop interface and works very well.
