Is there a way to put a feature length movie onto the new 40 Gig iPod Video?

Yes. You have to reencode it (which can take up to several hours, depending on how fast/slow your computer is).

How many of these movies would fit on it?

You probably could compress a movie down to iPod sizes in as little as 800MB (probably less... i'm not up on my h.264 quality and bit rates), so approximately 40.

shit, more like 1/2 that.

You could fit 60 or more movies on a 40gig video.

The real question is WHY would you?

if you have a video ipod

why not get its full use

It's not really a "Video iPod" though, it's just an iPod that happens to be able to play some videos.

^ i can't wait for the "real" one.

lack of google search strikes again. seriously, you'd save alot of time just asking google instead of asking a message board

putting 60 movies on a 40gb video ipod is impossible

3/15/2006 9:01:54 PM

want to bet?

3/15/2006 9:20:23 PM

as long as you dont want tv playback its really easy to get a full length movie under 250mb

i mean its a 2.5" screen people, you can compress it a lot without being able to tell

i've got a ton of television shows / movies / music videos / music on my 60 gig video and i've only used about 1/3 of the capacity

Let's do this by the numbers. This iPod has a 320x240 display and 40 GB of storage, right? And it does H.264 video? H.264 at 320x240 has a maximum required bitrate of, like, 768 Kbps. Assuming the average movie is 90 minutes long (5,400 seconds), that gives us:
