Thank you to everyone who responded with help on transferring videos from the United Streaming web site to a video iPod. Many asked for a "hit" and I am more than happy to share that information. The first step is to download the video in Quicktime format--that option is on the left side below the video you are downloading. Once you have it saved open up iTunes and import the file. After the file is imported select Update from your file menu. If a message pops up that the file could not be transferred because the iPod cannot support the video, you will need to "convert" the video. To do this, select Advanced from your Tool Bar and Convert from the drop down menu. My video was 4 min. 46 secs. and the process took just a few minutes. Then, select Update and it should be on the iPod. To play the video on the TV you will need the cables specific for this purpose (Radio Shack, $19.99). On your iPod, select Video Settings. The first option, TV Out should be either ! Ask or On. You may also need to check the TV Signal. Mine played fine on NTSC. Connect the cables to the TV and turn the TV to channel 3. Interestingly enough, the volume control worked on both the TV and the iPod. I hope this works for you. Please let me know if you experience any problems. I am excited to show this to my colleagues as this eliminates the need for a projector. Now, we just need to get iPods for everyone! Thanks again for all of your quick responses. -- Carolyn Wert Librarian Charles Boehm Middle School 866 Big Oak Road Yardley, PA 19067 Phone: 215.428.4220, ext. 30870 Fax: 215.428.9605 cmwert@comcast.net -------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note: All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.
