How To Convert AVI Picture Files And Watch Them On Your Portable iPod Player

If you have an iPod with a video player and would like to load it up with additional movies, the movies have to be converted into the MPEG 4 file format that is recognized by iPod. Some movie download websites have iPod ready movies that have already been converted. Movies that are not converted can be done so by downloading a free files conversion software program.

MPEG 4 file format is the standard used by all iPod movie players. Movie that you choose to purchase from sources other than iPod ready website like iTunes must first be converted into MPEG 4 file format before you can watch the movie. The software you will need can be easily found by searching for movie conversion software in one of the major search engines.

It is never enough to convert a movie for your iPod. Ipod systems use a 640 by 480 screen resolution and therefore, the movies you convert should also match the same resolution. If the resolution does not match, the picture quality will look awfully distorted.

Some people seem to be okay with a slight distortion and the iPod system does have a little bit of leeway, but not a lot. If you have a movie that you really want to enjoy on your iPod system, it is always better to use a screen resolution of 640 by 480. This is the same resolution that all iPod ready movies come in.

Ipod video players are also great for storing and playing home movies and videos. You may have a recent video of friends, family or loved ones that you took while you where on vacation. These movies can easily be converted into MPEG 4 file formats by using QuickTime 7 Pro that is available for download.

So how do you transfer home videos to you iPod? It is very easy. Once you transfer the video file from your digital camcorder to you desktop computer, download QuickTime 7 Pro and start the program. You will see the title of the video that you want to transfer and convert in the top menu.

The file conversion starts as soon as you click the title of the movie and select convert. The computer will then complete the process for you. If you want to monitor the progress of the file conversion, QuickTime 7 Pro comes with a progress bar so you can monitor the conversion.

When the file conversion process is complete, all you have to do is synchronize the movie file the same way you do all iPod movies and songs. This program will work on standard desktop computers and on laptops. Start transferring your home movies so you can share them with friends and distant relatives when you are away on vacation.
