Downloading iPOD Music Videos

Apart from the iTunes store, where can I download music video's for my iPod?

Are there any alternatives, where I can pay or download free material? :confused:

    As far as i know there are no other legal sites for doing this, don't think, if you buy videos from elsewhere they wont be compatable and if you wanted to put them on your iPod it would probably mean removing the DRM which is illegal and not allowed to be discussed on these forums.

    Other option is to recrod the video off the telly onto dvd and use one of the free convertors out there to make it iPod compatable.

  • Cheers Woo - thanks for your help.

    Might have known that Apple would have tied up the market. Just a bit disappointed that their music video store doesn't stock what I want !

    Any idea why I cant download from the Apple US store ???

    Because you need a credit card with a US billing address.

    Someone could make a fortune if they let us use their card for buying stuff from ITMS US and charging a few extra cents for the privalige. I know there are loads of stuff I want but can't get over here...

    Although; because you are not the person who bought it technically you are transferring the music to someone else which is against the terms of the license, I remember in that documentary where they were trying to get itunes music from france where it is cheaper and coming across all these problems. Apple have wrapped things up pretty tight, their lawyers have obviously been burning the midnight oil.
