You can pack your movie iPod system with a lot of movies from sources other than iTunes. There are many sources for new and old movies online that can be downloaded and prepared for iPod viewing. Before you can watch a movie on your iPod screen, the movie file must first be converted into an MPEG 4 which is standard for iPod viewers.

MPEG 4 file format is the standard used by all iPod movie players. Movie that you choose to purchase from sources other than iPod ready website like iTunes must first be converted into MPEG 4 file format before you can watch the movie. The software you will need can be easily found by searching for movie conversion software in one of the major search engines.

Aside from covering movies and films into the proper file format, you should also check to see if the movies are in a 640 by 480 video format. This is the format that all iPod viewers use. If the movie is not then the picture quality will be poor. Believe it or not there are software programs that can handle this too.

A 640 by 480 screen resolution is the best resolution for delivering crystal clear pictures on an iPod. If the movie does not match exactly, you will still be able to watch the movie but in less quality than it would normally be. It all depends on your personal preferences when it comes to quality and clarity.

Ipod video players are also great for storing and playing home movies and videos. You may have a recent video of friends, family or loved ones that you took while you where on vacation. These movies can easily be converted into MPEG 4 file formats by using QuickTime 7 Pro that is available for download.

The process of transferring home movies is very simple. Once you download the program, just launch the program on your computer. You should already have the home video transferred to your computer or laptop. After launching QuickTime 7 Pro, click the corresponding title of the movie that you want to convert in the menu.

The file conversion starts as soon as you click the title of the movie and select convert. The computer will then complete the process for you. If you want to monitor the progress of the file conversion, QuickTime 7 Pro comes with a progress bar so you can monitor the conversion.

Once the conversion is complete for your home movie, you will be required to synchronize the movie on your computer with the iPod software before it can be transferred to your iPod. The synchronization process works the same way with home videos as it does with storing songs on your iPod.
