Right going up to Liffey Valley to get me an Ipod
Whats the best? I was going to get the 40gb one it'd 280euro
Can you download full length movies onto the Ipod?
And this is probably a really silly question but is there a random play function on the Ipod?

Bought myself an iPod.Right i have no problem getting music or pictures onto it but i can't put some movies on it
Any ideas?
When i go to file then import and then pick the file i want sometimes nothing happens
What type of movie file does the iPod play? I've been trying to put mpeg files on it

You need to convert the files to .mp4 format.

Download this super bit of software at www.videora.com which will compress and convert the .avi or mpeg files.

Also handy for uploading to youtube as it plays .mp4s and they reduce the size of the video files considerably.

Have been searching the internet myself for same software and only thing i could find of any use was this

its a 14 day free full trial of their software so in fairness two weeks is plenty of time to get a good few dvds onto your ipod

I plugged my Ipod into a mates Itunes on their PC and got all there music sent to my ipod, does anyone know how I can get it from my Ipod onto Itunes on my own PC.

[Kerry Mike]

RedBoots: I recently upgraded my PC and had to do a ipod transfer without reloading all the music.

It was fairly straight forward, I found a good link in google on how to do it, I might have a copy of it in my favourites at home and will stick it up tonight if I find it.

In the meantime be careful not to sync your iPod with your PC as it might wipe the music copied from the other PC!!

The World is changing fast, Rugby and Soccer in Croke Park and KM on an iPod. Whatever next....

The iPod is fine but its costing me a f**king fortune in hamsters on the auld dynamo wheel to power the f**ker.
