Thanks, I finally figured out how to use videora to convert the formats and get the videos to my ipod. It took a few days playing around, but I got it.

Hi there zimer...

I downloaded(and recieved update on nero pro, $29.95 version) and used nero reocde 2...then I imported a limewire music vid file, added it, then pressed burn...saved it, then dragged anddropped it and I also tried importing file with the same results...it finally transferred to my ipod, but the file did not transfer properly and I can barely see the video? is there some setting I need to press to get the proper video transfer..i even tried running a second pass with no imporvement in the vid quuality? I even tried 2 other videos with the exact same poor results..I assume it must be with some setting when it transfers tot he mpeg4 file?

thanks for your help
Joe

Use Nero Recode, choose "Recode DVD/Videos to Nero Digital". Go to afterdawn.com and look guides or search "ipod". Yes, settings must be set to work.
If I look videos, I always look for mpg or mpeg. I converted "Madagascar" and several other Music videos.
Entire Guide is listed on afterdawn.com
If no luck, message me and I will find for you.

Hi zimer...

thanks so much for your help !

when I go to "afterdawn.com", and find the codes for the ipod..then what? where do I install them or whatever? I apologize fro being so simple about it, but my computer savy isnt the best(but getting better allt he time). I do download only mpg pr mpeg vids also..so it should be easy?

thnaks again
Joe

There are no codes to install. Go to guides and search for "Ipod".
Here's what I have:
Open Recode2
Click "Recode Video Files To Nero Digital" (4th option)
Click Import Files on the right
Go down the list and select file (where you saved the mpeg/mpg file)
Click add file
Click More at bottom left
In drop-down box to bottom right "nero digital profile" select portable (meaning ipod)
Unselect Fit to target
Click next
BURN
--------
Click Nero Digital Settings to the left
Then check the box Expert Mode
Encode method "High quality encoding - 2 pass
Quality/Speed, select Extra quality in performance/quality box
Advanced, check simple profile box
Click burn.

Depending version of Recode, menu/boxes will differ.
I tried above on Recode2, was able to burn "Madagascar", Music video etc.
Give this a try or send me your email address I can send the guide what I found from afterdawn.com.

Zimer with nero u can convert to the right format for your ipod vid? like if i download a movie from limewire will nero change my format to the ipod 1?

I guess aim to download mpeg/mpg & hope it's mpeg 4. As quoted from the iPod forum: "your movies have to be in Mpeg-4 or H.264 format"
So if you aim for mpeg at least it will increase your chances for automatic acceptance rather than having to convert an avi file. Since all those I imported as suggested earlier were in fact mpeg4 despite an incorrect reading by a graphic converter (older version I hadn't updated!) So chances are if it's a music video clip, it will already be mpeg 4. For movies, you should aim for mpeg unless you have a converter or you have enough sources to downld mpeg. If not, then get avi but consider what you'll need to do to convert it. Think ahead! If you downld an alternative format then you'll obviously need to convert it if you want to play it on your video capable iPod. Don't forget to see the lower section of page 1 here How to transfer music to my iPod (& iTunes)

can u please tell me how to get videos from limewire to itunes

this is a lil confuseing

how do I transfer video from lime wire to my itunes

Drag the video to desktop then drag to i-tune playlist of your choice/i-tune might have to convert video/be patient.
