Video on Nano (It is possible!).

Yes, the Ipod Nano can play video. In fact, almost every ipod is capable, by using IpodLinux (http://ipodlinux.org/). Videos need to be formatted and decompressed, but, the videos do work. In fact, I myself use IpodLinux, and am very pleased with its results. The video capability is in its early stages, so there are some bugs (like, video and sound sync going off when the video is paused or skipped), but overall, works just fine. It is open source, so I just wanted to spread the word, so people can take advantage of their ipod nano.
IpodLinux is'nt new, so who else is using IpodLinux?

Here are some pics/videos of some Ipods on podzilla (ipodlinux)playing videos. These are not mine. Sorry for the quality of most of them. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6974467646937874348

How to get youtube watch in video ipod nano?

How to get that youtube in video ipod nano and but i don't know how too make?

The iPod nano cannot use YouTube. It cannot connect to the Internet at all.

Video iPod Nano doesn't work when plugged in anymore

As of recently, whenever I plug my Video iPod Nano into my Hi-Fi the screen locks up. The music still plays through the Hi-Fi, and I can control the volume via the unit however the screen completely is frozen, and unresponsive to any movement on the clicker. It worked fine before, and this now a recent happening, and I have a feeling the latest update to the iPod Nano knocked it out.

I'm not not sure why this question is flagged as "answered".
I'm experiencing exactly the same behavior. If my nano (3G) is put into my HiFi while in play mode, it will continue playing through the HiFi, but the nano screen will freeze and its controls will become unresponsive. Only the HiFi volume can be controlled via the HiFi top buttons. Ditto for the remote - only the volume controls function (although the HiFi green LED responds to all remote commands as normal).
If the nano is inserted into the HiFi in menu mode, it just remains unresponsive. When taken out of the HiFi dock, it will invariably remain unresponsive for 30-40 seconds, then suddenly light up and return to normal.
In fact, my nano (3G) has always acted this annoying way with our HiFi - which continues to work flawlessly (extra menues and all) with the sundry older iPod models that we own.
Yes, I have tried resetting and restoring the nano (now at firmware version 1.1) and the HiFi no avail.
I'm curious to learn whether anyone has actually gotten a nano (3G) to work properly with a HiFi.
P.S. Great product the HiFi - can't for the good of me figure out why Apple discontinued it... It's truly adding insult to injury if this thing of beauty no longer works properly with the newer iPods.

Can I upload videos in Nano?

Can I upload videos in Nano?
Can i watch videos on Nano?
I heard the normal ipod can be used to watch videos.
I have movies on my computer and I was wondering if I can uploaded and watch it on Nano.
Also, is it worth buying?
I am planning on buying a Nano, I once had shuffle but I had to return it because it wouldn't work.

Well if you are going to be running, biking or some other activity l;ike it that may involve alot of you bouncing up and down you will need to get either a shuffle or a nano because the other ipods have hard disks or something like that in them that can be easily damaged by doing that sort of activity. The shuffle and the nano are bopth flash based so they will be fine. And no you can not put videos on it so you are unfortanately going to have to choose. But maybe later apple will make a video flash ipod mabye 6th gen so we'll see.

Music Videos on Nano?

Is it possible to put a music video purchased or downloaded from the internet on your nano? I see there's a playlist for it, but don't know how to use it. I am using 1.3 and would like some help. Thanks.

Trying to download music video to nano

i bought a music video and it will not show up or copy to my music video file can nano 2nd generation view music videos?

the 2nd gen nano does not support any video content including music videos, tv shows, movies, or video podcasts. It never has supported video, THe music video playlist you see on your nano is there by default because the playlist is was created in itunes by default. Simply delete this playlist in itunes for it not to appear on the nano. Then you wont be confused anymore. Only the new 3rd gen nano supports video. If you want video buy the new nano. Any hacks for the ipod will void your warranty and possibly brick it too. Dont use hacks!

2 Ipods (video and nano) on one computer. HOW?

I have a video ipod and a nano. I am trying to get them to share the same library, but am not having any luck. Can anyone let me know how to do this. The video ipod was originally set up on a different library (windows). I de-authorized it, but it won't sync. Will I lose all existing purchased music/videos in the process?

Each of you should create a separate playlist, with only the music you want.
Then open iTunes prefs -> iPod and set it to Automatically update only selected playlists.

Using iPOD video and Nano on one PC

Need help. I just got a 60 gb iPOD video and have been using iTunes on my PC for my Nano. If I download videos from the iTunes Music Store for my iPOD Video, will it cause a problem when I later plug in my Nano to update? I.E., is there a way for me to use my same iTunes library for both the iPOD Video and iPOD Nano without the Nano crashing because of the video content? Sorry, I'm new to this. I appreciate anyone's help. Thanks.

If you are adding a second iPod for your own use, just connect the new iPod to your computer and follow the on screen instructions. It will update from your existing library and in the case of the Nano you will not have a problem with videos as it is not designed to use them. Depending on the size of your library and the type of iPod you choose you can have it update the whole library, selected playlists or you can manage it manually. With the first option it will update everything. With the second option only the tracks in the selected playlists (rather than the entire music library) are downloaded to iPod when you connect. With the manual update option, you manage what goes into your iPod by dragging and dropping selected songs or playlists into iPod:
Loading songs onto iPod automatically
Managing content manually on iPod

A different concept for producing music video's..is it possible?

Hi,
In preparing for a music video shoot this week I wondered if a feature in Soundtrack Pro 2 could be put into FCP 7???
I am recording the music (10 min) of piano and cello for a tango. After editing I will play it back for dancers. It would be incredible if I could play it back in Soundtrack Pro which would sync to FCP capture window, and use the multiple take feature to keep recording over the same timeline space with different video takes. They would line up on different video tracks in FCP and the audio would stay the same. That way you could immediately see if all of your music was covered with footage that you like. It would save a lot of post production time.
Could this be possible in the future?
On another note, I am recording with the Letus 35 depth of field adapter for a film look. Is there any advantage of recording in Prores 422 HQ over DVCPro HD? I'm shooting on a HVX-200 with P2 or I could go into an AJA IOHD. I plan to bring it into Color after the shoot. Any advice would be appreciated

Secondary Video in the Mega180? Possible?

Ok, I have the Mega180 installed. I need an RCA Tv out on a SECONDARY video!!
First, is that possible with the onboard?
Second, when I put in another graphics card in the AGP slot, the ONBOARD DISAPPEARS!!!! Why does it do that? I want the onboard to be my main screen and the AGP video(ATi Radeon) to be my secondary with TV-Out. Can I do this?

you need an AGP card with its own TV-out port, check in your AGP cards driver settings to configure it
if you're using an AGP card then there's no way of using the onboard TV-out or secondary VGA port

Putting videos on nano

I bought a video off of iTunes and tried to put it on my Nano but it tells me my Nano can't play it. Why?

Which Nano do you actually have? Do you have the long skinny one (second gen) or the square one (3rd gen)? Only the 3rd gen Nano will play videos.

How can I add videos to Nano?

I was just wondering. Can I add a simple MP4 video to the iTunes library and sync it to iPod Nano? If not, what is the best video converter I can use and how to add it in iTunes library? Thanks in advance.

If the iPod nano is a third through fifth generation model, yes. Otherwise, no. Adding it to the iTunes library is a separate process which doesn't involve the iPod; if a converter is needed, use MPEG Streamclip.

Maybe you should try to update the driver of your graphics card.
