What format for films does an ipod touch use

I have an ipod touch 4g 64gb
I want to convert films to watch on it, so what format am I looking for and how would I change the format ?
I have prism and Magic film converters, but they put them in what I thought was the right format, but it comes up with 'cant be played on this ipod'
so what format do I use ?
Thanks

What bluetooth protocol does the iPod Touch use with a keyboard?

Hi...
Say, does anyone know what bluetooth protocol apple is using for their bluetooth keyboards for the iPhone and iPod Touch? It is probably HID, but the people at RIM (i.e. BlackBerry) use SPP. So I would think many 3rd party keyboards use SPP (Serial Port Protocol). But, then, there are many posts about "I wish Apple would support SPP" because people want to build apps that interface with external HW that only supports SPP.
What I want to do? (you ask)
I've one of these nice / expensive Think-out-side portable folding keyboards (good). That only has a serial interface (bad). There are many bluetooth "dongles" out there with serial ports (good). But they only support SPP or Serial Port Protocol (bad? maybe? depends).
See, I know RIM (BlackBerry) people support SPP on their devices. But I haven't heard (found) word one about what the iPod Touch supports. I would hate to spend $80 on one of these dongles and find out it doesn't work.
So, what does the iPod Touch use when talking to the bluetooth keyboard?
-thanks

From page 37 of iOS 4.1 Touch Users Guide:
Using an Apple Wireless Keyboard
For ease of typing, you can use an Apple Wireless Keyboard (available separately;
iPod touch 3rd generation or later).
Regarding the original questions, the BT profiles supported by the Touch arelisted here:

Does the iPod Touch use Flash memory, or a hard drive?

I thought that both the Touch and Nano used flash memory, but people on another board are telling me that the Touch uses a hard drive.
Which is correct?

Should have said Flash memory not Flash drive.

What do I do when my iPod touch wants me to plug into iTunes and asks for a password on the iPod touch and can't do it?

What do I do when the iPod touch asks to be plugged into it ouch and nothing happens. The PC asks to use password on iPod touch and it can't be done.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

TS1702 what is the point of the Ipod touch(2nd generation)?Every single app Is not compatible with it.Seems like a complete ripoff to me.My phone was alot cheaper and does way more.Very frustrated with this device.

There are still some apps compatible, with the 2G. Also, since September, Apple has now allowed download the last version of apps that were compatible with the 2G but have been updated to no longer be compatibles
To more easily find compatible apps:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app

A popular one is the Belkin Tunecast, but I've heard mixed reviews about that one. On the flipside, I've only heard good things about the iRock. See this post for a personal experience.

Does an IPod touch have gps for a biking app

Does an IPod touch support an app that uses gps for distance and time?

No. It uses the location of nearby wifi routers to detrmine its approximate position. You can purchase GPS accessories for the iPod. Google for: GPS for ipod touch.

Why does itunes say i have the latest version 4.2.1 (8c148) for my 3rd gen iPod touch when it should be iOS 5?

why does itunes say i have the latest version 4.2.1 (8c148) for my 3rd gen iPod touch when it should be iOS 5?

Be sure it is really a 3rd gen. Some people with 2nd gens were told they were 3rd gens. Identifying iPod models or Look up specs by Serial Number. If it is a 2nd gen, then you can't upgrade.
IF IT REALLY IS A THIRD GEN iPod Touch, then you first need to upgrade to iTunes 10.5 in order to download iOS 5 because older versions of iTunes don't support and can't sync with iOS 5.

What updates does the Ipod touch 3rd gen 8 gig get?

i was just wondering

Yes, a 3G iPod can go to 5.1.1. However, many users who think thay have a 3G actually have a 2G. A 2G can only go to 4.2.1
Identifying iPod models
iPod touch (3rd generation)
iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.
To update to 5.1.1 if you have a 3G the computer needs iTunes 10.5 or later.

Encoding home videos for IPhone, AppleTV and IPod Touch

Hi Folks,
I'm on latest version of Compressor and FCP.
Objective: to encode home video transfers to a format that is suitable for AppleTV, IPhone and Ipod Touch - in an efficient manner (this is key)
99% of the videos would be VHS and camcorder tapes in SD format.
I mentioned efficient manner b/c I tried running and Iphone encode through the presets in Compressor for a 2 hour VHS transfer - nothing fancy, just 12 chapters. I'm on my 2009 quad mac pro with 8 GBs RAM.
The estimator through the 'share' feature said it was going to take over 3 hours before I quit. The other reason I quit is b/c it won't be compatible with AppleTV.
I created DVDs for my client so I tried handbrake using the video_Ts folder and it created an IPhone/IPod Touch file no problem - only 40 minutes. Not bad. I tried the Universal preset and QT gives me an error that the finalized file isn't compatible.
I guess my question is: does it matter quality wise, if I run through Handbrake vs compressor? For this particular client, there are 12 hours worth of videos to compress.
I know about setting up a cluster on my mac pro, but everytime I try more than 1 file in a batch, the subsequent files fail. I can't even set a cluster up with my 2006 mac pro either - yes, I've had discussions with FCP support staff and have tickets. It's a bug
So, any thoughts? 3 hours (at a minimum) seems awfully long to compress.
Of course, I would be charging my client for these videos, but at that length of time, I'm not sure what a feasible cost would be for both sides.
Cheers,
keebler

If you are send out self contained movies to be processed in Compressor with Standard Presets (no adjustment to frame controls) you should be getting decent speed. If you want I can try encoding a two hour DV clip. How far did the encoding get before you stopped it? The estimates are not necessarily accurate at the beginning.
Also if you can get the Clusters working (disregarding the size of the batches for a moment) should help with speed. I run into limits of around 20 per batch so make multiple batches. Not the most optimal way, but could be worth it to get them all going. Set them up for overnight and it should be done in the AM.
Creating off the Video_TS folder is compressing compressed material, so it could (should) reduce quality when compared to encoding original source material, though based on the quality of the source it may be more academic...
I would try to get the Compressor end working myself. (Ignore using share, just open Compressor and put movies into it.)

How to play videos in other formats other than mp4 in ipod touch.

how to play videos in other formats other than mp4 in ipod touch.
I have tried an app named VLC streamer. But I never knew how to use it...
Can someone suggest anything else?

Under "General" in iTunes Preferences, does "Play
Videos in.." allow you to set the playback of videos
as you desire?
kind of. It does spawn a new window, which is great (thanks!). But it seems to be at a lower resolution - does iTunes compress further or display at lower res? What is the function that people are supposed to be able to use to use iTunes as a media center to watch movies?

How much storage does the iPod Touch start with?

I no this may sound like a stupid question but I no from preivous experience that when you buy an iPod you don't the full storage they say you get. e.g. my current iPod (Classic 80GB) only comes 74.2GB of storaage.
*So my question is - how much storage does each iPod Touch model start out with?*
For example, the 8GB model may only have 7GB to start out with.
thanks in advance.
Message was edited by: alangeorge

You will find ALL storage devices act this way. Your computers hard drive is the same (actual storage of a gigabyte sized drive will be 0.93 times what the stated size is).
An 8GB touch will be about 7.4GB.

How long will UK delivery take for a iPhone4s and iPod Touch 5th gen?

how long will UK delivery take for a iPhone4s and iPod Touch 5th gen?

Water damage voids your warranty, so you only option with Apple is an out of warranty exchange. You can check what that fee would be in your country on the support pages.
Note that since Apple does not (and never has) repair iOS devices (they exchange them with factory refurbished units), there is no Apple certified training program for iOS repairs, no official parts supply and hence no such thing as an Apple Authorized repair technician or center for any iOS device. Any repairs you have done by a 3rd party shop you do on your own and you must be prepared to live with the results, whatever they are, as Apple will not accept a device that has been worked on by someone else.
