Some iPod questions

[iMav]

guys i just bought myself an ipod (30gb video) and have a few questions ....

1. What format videos can it play and sofwares for converting mpg and mpeg files

2. how do i find a track in my pod (wen not connected to the PC)

3. can i have the images play like a screensaver when my songs are being played

..... my first review after spending 2 hrs with it ..... it aint as good as ppl hav made it to sound .... only good thing is the scrolling system and sound rest is all $h!t

no boss...d sound rokz! ull fall in luv wit it. ipod only playz .mov n .mp4 files. download free ipod video convertor from : http://www.download.com/Free-iPod-Vi...-10498771.html

yea d battery is a problem,mine lasts abt 11 hrs. n if i play only video, den hardly 2 hrs . ne more questions...ask away man. how much did u pay?

[Dipen01]

2 hrs is way to less yaar..!! ek movie dekho and battery down..!!

[iMav]

wtf i paid 14.5k for this man and i cant even find tracks in the device lucky for me that i kept the id3 info of the tracks proper else it would hav been hell for me ..... the worst part u cant even sort the songs in folders .... iPod is seriously not good in features who cares abt the sound yaar if basic things like search and folders are not there .... nokia offers folders and iPod doesnt ..... u cant even put background images (f all) .... zune and creative are way much better in features

mAn it sorts according to artist and album..

u can find ur way though it if ur muzik files are updated!

@mAV3...stop cussin man...ipod renames d trackz 2 sum cryptic 1s,wich u cannot make out wen u r viewing the songs n vids in disk mode. if u want drag n drop functionality, u can try out Rockbox,wich is an open source jukebox firmware. rockbox can be found here: www.rockbox.org

[vinyas]

[gauravakaasid]

2gb nano prolly around 8-8.5k

5k for 2 gb are u sure... i like that black model.... i am not interested in videos ... also wats is difference between Shuffle & Nano ? ... quality in playback is different ?

[iMav]

hacker bhai i think u r slightly mistaken ..... nano cannot be for 5k .... wat u r talking abt is shuffle ....

nano small in size with screen ...... shuffle smaller in size no screen

bte i downloaded itunes 7 and came to know that ther is an update for my ipod (currently version 1.1.2) and the upgrade is 1.2 .... any1 successfully updated their pods .... if yes let me know .... i downloaded the update when i try to install it on my ipod ..... the ipod automatically disconnects from i tunes and itunes gives me an error

[Dipen01]

Dude...sorry for repeting same question...

Isnt 2 hr Battery life is way too less.!! :O

[gauravakaasid]

2hr battery for videos,specially fpr a video ipod is decent enaf.

@mav3, rockbok is stable,wil gv u updates l8r man

[iMav]

updated my pod to version 1.2 .... to major updates is that when you connect the pod to the pc the display on the pod is illuminated allowing you to see the do not disconnect message properly and also while scrolling thru songs alphabets appear on the screen as u scroll thru them there by giving more ease to scroll ..... enjoy and update ur itunes as well (though very unstable)

[hackers2005.3721]

mav yes yarr u jst update your ipod u get more better thing and it rocks man u get more features and other thing is i am telling u getan ipos nano of 2 gb at 5000 in mumbia at hera panna i am nt joking but u should be careful while buying bass bc they can fool u so take a perso n who is having an ipod or knows about it and see that at the back side an apple logo is there u see that it is full orgin if u wnt more info u can pm me and i wi give u my id
and the good store where u get for 8000 rs max saw it 4 months back

[iMav]

the only problem is the battery .... somehow if that can be changed by apple to a more efficient one wud be good

[hackers2005.3721]
