Can I Transfer a Homemade MP4 Video to the iPod?

How can I transfer a video from a non TV or Movie iTunes source to my iPod Nano 5Gen so I can view it there?
The format for videos the iPod takes is MP4 VGA video H.264 w/AAC 30 fps. I have been able to export videos to MP4 using Quicktime Pro with the criteria below, then transfer them to the DCIM\000APPLE iPod folder and view them so long as I replace videos already in that folder with the exact same name. However, when I add new videos with the same criteria to the DCIM\000APPLE folder, they do not show up in Videos on the iPod.
Quicktime Pro Export criteria:
MP4
Video
H.264
256 kbps, Optimized for Download
640x480VGA
Preserve aspect, Fit within size
30 frame rate
Key frame every 24

As a matter of interest you can load videos of any length up to your iPods hard drive capacity.
I have several 1.5 - 2 hour films which play perfectly.
How long your battery will last if you play them is, of course, a different matter.

No since you can only sync with one computer.

- Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a thrird-party program like one of thos discussed here:
Copy music
- Connect the old iPd to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPOd under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up.
- Restore the new iPod from that backup. You will have to reeenter passwords since they only get restored to same device.

How can I transfer my photos and videos from the iphone to my computer?

I have had my iphone since fall 2010 and I have transferred photos to my computer from my iphone only once. Now I want to transfer my videos and photos but I can remember how I did the last time and I can remember where the instructions are or how I learned to do it. Any help out there? The iphone manual is useless. The Apple help site is useless.

Jim VanLeeuwen has already given you the answer, but (for your future reference), when I saw your comment -- on an RSS feed -- that "The Apple help site is useless" I went to the Support pages and in the search box at the top, entered, "transfer photos from iPhone to Mac". The top result was the one Jim VanLeeuwen offers.

Can you transfer movies from your DVD to the ipod?

Simple question. And if yes, how?

The short answer is: get a third-party converter program, convert your DVDs, add the converted files to your iTunes library, then sync to your iPod as usual.
I use the Cucu soft video suite, and have been very happy with it. Costs forty bucks (though you can get the standalone DVD converter for thirty), but it's easy to use, converts quickly and offers many user-controllable settings. There are many other retail products available, as well as lots of freeware and shareware options. Videora and Handbrake are two that I've seen mentioned here many times.

How can I transfer my pictures and videos from Zenfolio?

How can I transfer my pictures and videos from Zenfolio?

If you have a copy of the photos that are in zenfolio on your computer, then you can upload them from there to revel. If you do not have other copies, then you will need to download the files from zenfolio to your hard drive and then upload them to revel. There is not an interface between zenfolio and revel to do this directly.
Here is information on uploading to revel:

Hello Achates:
I did not read the rather long post. If you wish to reinstall OS X 10.4, use your software install DVD. Backup is essential. To minimize your risk, I would use an archive and install:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
In that way, you will have a fresh copy of OS X and your current settings will be preserved.
Incidentally, I do not agree that the printer problem is best solved by reinstalling OS X. I have had HP printers for sometime and, on one occasion, had difficulty after an upgrade. HP technical support walked me through uninstalling all traces of the HP driver and then reinstalling.

We are evaluating the use of iPod touch devices to record best practice videos on our manufacturing floor and to post to an internal Moodle web site. How can you upload a video from the iPod touch to a site other than YouTube? The Moodle upload interface is expecting a file selection dialog box like windows or OSX. I do not want to have to go through an intermediary step of messing with a pc.
Thanks!

It should be around 7 and a half gigs. In iTunes, across the bottom there should be a bar that show how much storage is being used and by what. (music, movies, apps, etc.) To make music take up less room, you can check the box to make it convert the music to 128kbps AAC. This lowers the quality, but with most earbuds and speakers, you can't even tell the difference.
The iPod touch has parental controls built in. You'll find them in Settings. I think they only work for enabling/disabling Safari, Mail, YouTube, and App Store. Here's an app that does more: http://www.mobicip.com/online_safety/ipod_touch
