Permalinks to this entry: individual page or in monthly context. For more material from my journal, visit my home page or the archive.

Want to play home movies or other video files you already have on a new iPod? Apple tells you how. If you don't want to pay for QuickTime Pro (or have an older version, as I do), scroll to the bottom of the page for the specific specs for H.264 or MPEG-4 video that you should export to using other software:

For H.264 video:

• File formats: .m4v, .mp4 and .mov
• Video: Up to 768 Kbps, 320 x 240 pixels, 30 frames per second, Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3
• Audio: AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 KHz, stereo audio

For MPEG-4 video:

• File formats: .m4v, .mp4 and .mov
• Video: Up to 2.5 Mbps, 480 x 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile
• Audio: AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 KHz, stereo audio
