Picture quality on the iPod Video, although small, is pretty damn good.

Even when viewed on a normal tv, it outputs VHS quality video, so for a simple on the go player, its great. Now, if only mine hadn't died after four days by locking up permanently.

hopefully this isn't breaking any forum rules but there is third party freeware for mac users that allow you to put files on your computer that make it relatively easy to import movies to your VideoIPOD. if you want the info, email me at [email protected].

And iPod video is limited to 320x240. (480x480 with external display, I believe, still less than DVD) If that's your definition of "pretty damn good", it's embarrassing. Just like MP3.
Is it the same people who want this yet complain about DVDs and are looking forward to HD discs? Hope not.

I don't think I would watch everything on the ipod. But if I had a long train ride, I wouldn't mind watching some things. Also, if I had a long train ride, I'd probably invest in a laptop which is 2x to 3x the price but offers about 50x as many uses.

I have been doing this kind of thing with my GBA and Play Yan for awhile now and the video is really quite good at 320X240 on a small screen. Granted I wouldn't pay for video of that low quality since you could never watch it on a normal display.
As far as doing the conversions. Try google because it is definitely not something we should discuss here.

I watch my Farscape Fan Vids. I have over 200 of them. Also Stargate, Buffy and Firefly. Love them. There are plenty of conversion programs. Almost all let you 'try before you buy'. You just have to convert to MP3 and/or Quicktime. Do not use P2P download sites, they will only get you into trouble. I buy cheap $1 public domain movies/TV program DVDs and VHS and convert them myself.
