It's been a long time since I've written a blog, mainly just because I've been so busy.
My life right now pretty much consists of school, work, and sleep (with the occasional chance for relaxation).
Anyways, one thing that has been awesome is that I finally got my iPod (actually I've had it since Christmas).
It's completely awesome, a black, G5, 30 gig, Video iPod.The problem is; I can't figure out how to put videos on it. Being a huge movie fan, I want to get the trailers to some up coming movies on my iPod, but I can't get the videos from my computer to my iPod.
Apparently, they need to be in a certain format, and the only way I can find to get them into said format is to go online and buy quicktime 7 pro for about $30 bucks.
Now I know what you're saying, "But Desert Rat, $30 isn't that much money, why not just spring for it and get videos on your iPod?"
You make a valid point, but personally, I'm getting pretty damn tired of Apple seeing a $300 iPod, then charging you $80 for a car adapter, $35 for a decent case, $30-$200 for a speaker attachment, and $30 for any other feature/accessory you want.
So, ok, maybe those things are a little over-priced, but they are add-ons, and you can use the iPod without them, but You'd think that for $300 you would at least be able TO USE THE FEATURES ON THE IPOD!
So if anyone knows how to reformat videos for the G5 iPod (on a PC, not a Mac) please let me know. Thanks.
