AVI Format on Ipod

I have some tv shows that I would like to put onto my Ipod. They are in AVI format and on a CD, which I know is incompatible with the Ipod. Is there any software I can use to change the format? I have a MacBook.
Thanks,
T

I would have a look at your iPod's User Guide for assistance on the different syncing preferences you can set up with your iPod and the different content that can be synced to it.

How to format an iPod on a MacBook Pro?

I plugged my iPod into my new MacBook Pro. The menu did not have a choice to format the iPod. Previously the iPod was hooked up to iTunes on a PC. I formatted the iPod on the PC.
Now I would like to format the iPod on my MacBook Pro. How can I do that?
Thanks in advance for your help and support.

Restore the iPod in iTunes for Mac. Restoring will erase and reformat the iPod's hard drive, reload the software with the Mac version and put it back to default settings, so if you have songs on your iPod that aren't on iTunes you will lose them if you have no back up. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions to name the iPod and automatically sync your songs and videos onto the fresh installation. Press Done and the iPod will appear in iTunes and start to sync. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists uncheck the box beside the sync automatically instruction and press Done, it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes

Do I need to format my iPod on Windows to use it as a hard drive on a PC?

I use my iPod on a MacBook with my iTunes library, but now want to ALSO use it as a simple hard drive on my PC for files transfer.
In the Windows explorer, I am told that it is not formatted and I am proposed to format it, which would erase all data on it.
Do I need to format my iPod on Windows to use it as a hard drive on a PC?
(I don not have iTunes installed on that PC currently)
And if I have to format it, will all my music be gone, but can I simply then synch it again on my MacBook with my iTunes library?
Thanks a lot in advance.

To use the iPod Classic on both the Mac and Windows PC, you need to format it in FAT32 filesystem structure, which both OS can recognise.
Yes, formatting it in FAT32, using iTunes, will erase all music and data in your iPod, but that is no problem if you have all the music in your Mac iTunes library.
So to do this,
Install the Latest iTunes in your windows PC, run itunes and check that all is in order (you can navigate, play some sample songs in itunes.)
Connect your iPod to the Windows PC, USB 2.0 port (please dont use USB hub with iPod Classic, -my bad personal experience, freezing itunes and windows)
iTunes will pop a windows asking you to reformat it in FAT32 and Restore
Click ok. (HERE there maybe some problem, if your iPod hardisk is not in tiptop condition)
When Restore is complete, eject the iPod
Connect it to your Mac and sync iTunes library.
If you want to use the iPod in Windows as an external hd, you have to set it in Disk Mode. first then Windows will recognise it as a portable HD.
Good luck! on this big undertaking.

HT204382 what software do i need to play movies on avi file . have connected a external memory disk and all the movies are in avi format.

What software do i need to install in order to be able
to play movies in .avi format.
have connected an external memory and all the entertainment
files are in .avi format.
Ansver i get : does not support

VLC is a good choice. While I don't know if it will play your files, Perian is a helper app for Quicktime which allows you to play a lot of things in the Quicktime Player.
There is also Flip4Mac which allows you to play windows media files in Quicktime.
Finally, note that the extension on a video file doesn't really tell you what you need to play it. The .avi, .mpg, etc. is only the wrapper around the actual video. The video is encoded by some means and needs to be decoded. The video inside the .avi can be encoded in one of many different schemes.
VLC, Perian, Flip4Mac, and many others, are all able to decode various flavors of encoding. Having all of those in your toolbox will help to allow you to play most of the things you'll find.

How do I format my IPod Shuffle to be used on Windows?

My computer doesn't reconise my IPod is there, and I think I hav to format my IPod to workon Windows instead of Mac...how do I actually do this?

I am extremely interested in resolving the same issue. I think I have exhausted my options and I believe the issue I have is exactly what is described here. Nothing seems to work since both the windows explorer and itunes do not recognize the iPod shuffle so I can't "get to it" to fix it. My daughter's friend gave her the iPod shuffle and we believe it's been formatted on a Mac. We use PCs in our home. When I plugged in the USB docking station, the iPod blinks orange light for about 4 times and then absolutely nothing happens. I tried the device management options and I can't seem to find/locate where the iPod "drive". Can someone please help with detail instructions on how I can reset/restore this iPod shuffle so I can use it on my PC based iTunes?

My ipod no longer can be formatted by IPOD UPDATER.

My ipod no longer can be formatted by IPOD UPDATER. It gives me a Cant mount ipod error now as well. It shows up in device manager as Player Recovery Device Class, and other pc's and macs cannot recognize it. Ive tried multiple ports and it does not work. When it is connected to the port it beeps as it should but then it will randomly beep as it is connected.
Also it does not work at all disconnected from the computer. The light doesnt work on it at all and there is no response whatsoever.

Hi Clayton and everybody.
I got same problem with my Shuffle: the iPod doesnt play, it doesn't response to any button, no LED works. When i plug in the USB 2.0 port i've always used before (with any problem), WinXP Pro says "the device would work better in 2.0 usb" even though I have 2.0 usb, and i need to install a new hardware as a player recovery to get the iPod Updater recognizing it as a "recovery mode".
As you said, there is only option to do a Recover, but when it starts the proccess, the USB unmount (DIDU sound argh!), and the iPod Updater tells me "Error when trying to write disc" after a few minutes stuck in the recover proccess. I've tried in 3 different PCs, and same error...
I've been without using my Shuffle for 1 week (since it suddenly stopped playing music, due to low battery I thinked)...much more than 24 hours! And it doesn't work!
Should I keep trying the "recovery mode restore" expecting for a miracle or what? What can i do? Please help, i would like to do anything possible before aplying the warranty...
Thanks! And sorry for my bad english!

I need to format my iPod but I don't want to lose my files!

Hello, obviously I'm here looking for help lol.
The problem is this; I purchased my iPod mini December 2005 and never had any problems until several weeks ago. When I plug my iPod into my computer, it always says it needs to be formated. Seeing that, I do believe that it needs to be formated. However, I DO NOT beleive that all 435 songs including ones I purchased for should be wasted.
Someone might say I need to back everything up onto a data DVD from iTunes. The only way you can do that is if you're using the home computer of your iPod. Time went by and I have a different computer so I don't have all of my songs on my current computer.
Seeing how the computer recognizes the iPod (despite the fact it notes it needs to be formated) is there any for me to transfer ALL of my files from my iPod to a data DVD disk? It gets really frustrating to have an iPod that costs alot and knowing it's not working how it's supposed to & knowing music that I purchased are about to be whiped out.
So just wondering if there's any tricks or program/s I can use or do to solve this problem to transfer my files from the iPod to a DVD so I can format the iPod without losing everything. Thanks.

there are 3rd party applications that will do what you need. Use the search function or google.
That said, the fact you didn't back up your purchased songs to CD/DVD or external hard drive when you moved computers or just as a practical matter is irresponsible.
Those songs are files just like a Word document or anything else. If you don't back it up and your only copy gets damaged then its your own fault for not backing up.
In this case your iPod is not to blame for having the only copy. All hard drives die. Period. You are lucky you have time to back up your files off the iPod now before everything went. You need to have more than the copy on the iPod of your purchased songs. Back up or waste $400 bucks of music

You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import.

Which software I should install to view video file AVI format on my Imac?

Which software I should install to view video file AVI format on my Imac?

It's hard to say. AVI doesn't exactly describe how the video was encoded. AVI is a package that contains the video content.
However, VLC can play just about anything. That's the first thing I'd try.

How do I import movies with an AVI format taken with a digital SLR?

How do I import movies with an AVI format taken with a digital SLR?

If you cannot import using File Menu > Import Movies... You'll have to convert them on a Mac.
You will need to use a free app called MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5.
Basically, you drag the .mts file into MPEG Streamclip. Then use FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME and choose Apple Intermediate Codec as your codec. And it will save out to a .mov file and iMovie will edit this format like there was no tomorrow
