I am getting frusterated with this.... I also am have a butch of a time download quick PRO 7 to convert my movies. and i am not paying 30.00 bucks for it...HELP

Yes, of course it can play the video as well. Can you tell us how you are accessing the shows on the iPod? Make sure it is through the "Videos" menu.

Also, there are better options for converting video than Quicktime 7. It's too slow.

What are those better opinons I have a windows xp comptuer and I seen some sites where videos can be converted in ipod format but are there any windows programs I have quick time pro and it is so slow it takes like 7hours to convert a 4mintue movie into the ipod format

Before you roll your eyes, remember that these are the MACNN forums. It shouldn't come as any surprised that we focus on the Macintosh side of things. If you're on windows, check out Videora iPod convertor (www.videora.com). It takes some getting used to, especially if you want to do widescreen movies) but it's free and fast. Also check out the forums at www.ilounge.com for more windows-centric advice.
