Putting video from TV onto iPod

I want to record live TV and put it on my computer so I can then put it on my iPod.
What can I do to record live TV and what do I need to buy to put it on to my computer?

For starters, it is outside of the scope of this discussion forum to be able to tell you how to record live television. As much as I can say to that you may be able to find some third-party software which will link between your television and PC or use an existing PC/TV tuner card to capture video. Again, it is simply outside of the scope of discussion.
However, I can tell you about the next step after you figure out how to get video from your television to your computer. You will need the following items: a fifth generation iPod, a high-powered USB port (USB 2.0 recommended), iTunes 6 or later to transfer video to the Fifth Generation iPod, and lastly, video content that is in an iPod compatible format I believe you can use Quicktime Pro 7 or above to 'convert' the video into an iPOD-usable format.
Now as for what type of video content should play on your iPOD here are some suggestions for use: video content purchased from the iTunes Music Store, videos that have been converted for iPod with QuickTime 7 Pro using the Creating Video for iPod tutorial, and videos that have been converted for iPod with iMovie, Final Cut Pro, and others.
Below are some additional and helpful video-related guidelines and formats that the Fifth Generation iPOD should be able to play:
H.264
File formats: .m4v, .mp4, and .mov
Video: Up to 768 kbits/sec, 320 x 240, 30 frames per second (fps), Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3.
Audio: AAC-LC up to 160 kbits/sec, 48 Khz, and stereo audio.
MPEG-4
File formats: .m4v, .mp4, and .mov
Video: Up to 2.5 Mbits/sec, 480 x 480, 30 fps, Simple Profile.
Audio: AAC-LC up to 160 kbits/sec, 48 Khz, stereo audio.

  • How to put video from camera onto itouch

    Hi. How do I transfer video/movie files taken with my camera, from My Pictures to my itouch? I've tried opening them with itunes, but no success. I've also put them in a folder and tried to sync with photo folders. Again no success. Obviously I'm not doing something ..... but don't know what!! Any advice? Thanks

    Hi .. I've downloaded videora, and it works well ... in spite of the watermark .. .
    The problem with converting the video with itunes is that I can't get the video INTO itunes until it has been converted. Anyway, videora converts them quickly, but they're only short clips ... I certainly wouldn't convert hours of video!

  • Having trouble putting tunes from ipad onto iPod ?

  • Putting videos from dvds onto itunes

    how do i do it, cause i want to put my rolling stone conserts onto it.

    search on tucows.com/softpedia.com/download.com for ripping software and also you'll need software to convert to mpeg4 format. I got it to work though I can't recall the name of the software that I used. I had to try a few before I found one that worked.
    You may need to purchase software to put a whole dvd on there...
    take luck!

  • Problem transferring video from iTunes to iPod

    I can't transfer video from iTunes to iPod. DVD movies converted to MP4 using Cucusoft software and a TV show purchased from iTunes Music Store won't transfer. The only video that has tranferred successfully is a video podcast called "Tiki Bar". It did ok.

    Connect the iPod and go to edit-->preferenes. Click the iPod tab. Click the videos tab under that. Make sure automatically update all videos is selected.
    Note: Your preferences may look slightly different.
    Also, try playing the video you purchased from the iTunes Music Store for a few seconds on your computer.

  • Playing videos from iTunes onto a TV from my iPad

  • Why can't I transfer video from iphoto onto an external HD?

    Can anyone tell me why I cannot transfer my iphoto video onto an external hard drive from imovie? Basically I am trying to transfer all my video from imovie onto an external hard drive to clear up space, but I cannot seem to find a way to do the video under iphoto. It let's me transfer all other video, but not the video under iphoto.

    Have you tried the Export function in iPhoto? Since there is one with choices including Quicktime, I would guess that it has to be rendered first. So, you could try that and save it to your desktop and then copy it over (or, if available, directly to the external).

    Have you launched and tired Image Capture? When it's launched with the iPad connected the photos will display in the window.  Select those you want to upload and use the Import to: menu and select Other.  Navigate to the Desktop and select the folder you created to hold those photos.
