Convert digital Camera video to ipod?

Philip624

I have a short video on my digital camera that I would like to transfer to an Ipod classic. Does anyone know of any free software that will allow me to do this? I understand i need to convert the video before transferring to the ipod.

I have an application called Any Video Converter which is really good and free.

I always use this: http://guspaz.blogspot.com/2006/09/ipoddrop-15-released.html

It's free.. you just drag your video file onto the ipoddrop.exe file, then a black box will appear showing the progress of the conversion. No options, nothing.. it just converts most video formats to ipod-sized/compatible files

I personally use jodix, and it's been perfect.

I always use HandBrake for converting video files for the iPod. It's free, open source, and runs on Mac OS X, Linux and Windows.

Is it possible to convert these video clips into a format that could be put into Windows movie maker or any other software so that you could have the clips fading into each other rather than all seperate and then put them onto a disc?

Probably asking for far too much :o:o

Try using HandBrake to convert the video to an avi file.

Thanks Marty, will try that.

I agree with Marty, I use that tool a lot also.

If you can't use that then I don't I don't know what will work lol

Hi,
Downloaded Handbarake and converted a .movie file from my digital camera into a .avi.

Got this error message:

The file C:\Documents and Settings\Hall\My Documents\My Videos\Garden Test Video.avi cannot be imported because the codec required to play the file is not installed on your computer. If you have already tried to download and install the codec, close and restart Windows Movie Maker, and then try to import the file again.


I am not very computer literate and have not got a clue what the above is about. Could anyone give me full instructions on how to do the above please?

You can add the movie to your i-tunes library without converting it then under the advanced tab select - Create ipod or iphone version
