hi there i am bit of a newbie and was just wondering if there is any equipment that would enable me to plug my ipod into my television and watch my programmes through it. thanks.
There's a cable you can buy for about $20 that has one end that looks like a headphone jack and the other end will be a composite connector. You can try searching for an iPod AV Cable, or a camcorder AV cable, as most camcorders use the same out as the iPod, you just have to switch the yellow and red cables on the composite end [Apple tried to get clever and force you to buy there cable] Hope that wasn't to confusing.
Here; http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore?productLearnMore=M9765G/A -that's the official apple one, but you could use alternatives..
If you have a Camcorder some cabels work with the iPod!!! Whe you are watching a Video and you want it on your TV you need to go to Video Settings under Video and select TV on!
It wouldn't be great. Make sure you encode/transcode your video @ the highest possible quality compatible with the iPod.
What I am saying is that it isn't possible to have 340x240 res video on a 32" tv without the picture appearing somewhat distorted, regardless of what [bold]your[/bold] TV does..
Lethal, theres a setting on some tvs to adjust the Aspect Ratio, wich is what I did ... most NEW Tvs can do this!
Would it not be easier to just get a Creative Zen Vision:M and not worry about buying a bunch of extra crap and itunes? Before people go flaming I had an i(got dooped)pod for a day and on the same day I got a copy of pPod for my iPaq. After some side by comparisons for a few hours I promptly returned my ipod to the store.
If anyone here knows how to use Videora-iPod, whats the best settings to get the BEST sound and quality of video when hooking it up through a TV? I've just recently got the program but don't REALLY know how to max. out the potential of the program. I've just left the DEFAULT settings and click the "One-Click" Encoding button.
