Anyone know of an easy way to save video clips from limewire, redtube, youporn, etc. to your video Ipod? I've mamnaged to save a couple into Itunes, but it's telling me it cannot sync the files. Maybe needing conversion?
Thanks!

Most of the online services encode their video files as .flv (redtube, youporn, youtube, etc.) or .wmv (most files on limewire will be in this format). The ipod displays videos using the .mp4 format. You need to find a utility that can convert your files from flv or wmv to mp4. You can buy the pro version of Quicktime (from apple) http://www.apple.com/quicktime/pro/ for about $30. It should be able to convert most codecs.
Alternately you can google "convert .flv to mp4 free" and see what offerings there are. I don't have any recommendations on the free software.
Good luck

I don't know of any sites that do mp4 porn, but I use Handbrake to do my coversions. It works for Mac, PC, and Linux. Super by Eightsoft is another good free conversion program for the PC.

Kink on demand lets you download sets that you have purchased on their site strait to your iPod, and they are worth every penny, IMO! But year Handbrake is a good one for free.

If you have a Mac, get Toast 10. It'll save any video file it can convert into a video iPod-ready file. I've watched stuff on my Nano no sweat.
Also you can download a free program called Any Video Converter that does the same thing, without the additionals that come with buying Toast. I've had no problems with it so far. Just Google it up and you'll hit the site to download it.

Thanks! I finally figured out how to use the iTunes "Create Ipod Version" option, but it takes FOR-EV-ER! A short video clip takes overnight if not longer!

A good one on Mac is mpeg streamclip.
basically anything that can create files using either Apple mpeg-4 or h.264 files, no higher than 1000 kbps is what you want.
it can make a movie for ipod in less than half the time it would take for quicktime.
hope that helps!
