Silver Member Username: MarcoooPost Number: 342 Registered: Mar-07 | Was wondering if anyone knew what the software to transfer songs from your iPod to a computer was called. And the software that lets you have more than one iPod on a computer without any problems. Was also wondering what I'd have to do to get DVDs, originals, burned onto my iPod. My computer has a DVD burner. Thanks |

When you say more than one iPod, are you talking about multiple iPods all at once? I haven't had any problems with my iTunes and I sometimes plug in 4 iPods all at once. But before you can do that you have to ensure that all the iPod music is being managed manually and none is on automatic mode. Before you can rip DVDs, you first need to get around the copy protection. Having a DVD burner has nothing to do with being able to rip DVDs. Then you need a converter to change what you just ripped to MPEG-4. |

The built in iPod plugin is getting better, but it's still terrible. This is where ML_iPod comes in and saves the day. http://www.winamp.com/player http://mlipod.sourceforge.net/ Now, for DVDs, there are plenty of rippers, but I used DVD Decrypter. I haven't done it in forever, so that's all I remember. |

Silver Member Username: MarcoooPost Number: 344 Registered: Mar-07 | Does anyone know about how many megabytes a movie like say Superbad is? I ask about that one because it seems to be about the average movie time, or a little more (118 minutes) and that's the only movie I'd put on for sure. Thanks |

Platinum Member Username: Project6Post Number: 14717 Registered: Dec-03 | Depends on the compression. If you encode it in DiVx in 576 x 376 format it will be about 1.5 GB on the average. |

Silver Member Username: MarcoooPost Number: 351 Registered: Mar-07 | Thanks Berny. Not sure if I'll put any movies on, maybe one when I need it for a trip or something. |

Silver Member Username: MarcoooPost Number: 356 Registered: Mar-07 | Can I delete indivudual photos from a folder I upload onto my iPod? |
|
Platinum Member Username: Project6Post Number: 14750 Registered: Dec-03 | Nope...that's one thing I hate. You have to edit separate photos before uploading the folder. I'm sure there are people who know how to do it, I just haven't found it yet. |

Silver Member Username: MarcoooPost Number: 357 Registered: Mar-07 | Just took me ~20 min to get 29 photos I liked together... Not much I like about iTunes lol IMO it's not easy at all to use. |
|
Platinum Member Username: Project6Post Number: 14756 Registered: Dec-03 | Not good for pics. That feature is more of an afterthought. Music and video player first...pics...not so much! |

Gold Member Username: JtownTeam Revolution, Texas Post Number: 1994 Registered: Mar-07 | why don't you just put all the photos you want into one folder, then upload it to itunes/ipod via the "itunes photo cache" folder? |
|
Silver Member Username: MarcoooPost Number: 358 Registered: Mar-07 | I did, but it took awhile to move all the indivudual photos from one folder to my "iPod" one. I had to go into the folder copy the picture then paste it in the iPod folder... |
