Here is a passage talks about some new features of iPod, from which you can obtain more details about this product, if you are interested in enjoying music or movie on your mp4,this text is worth to have a look Don't call it the Video iPod, the vPod, or anything that indicates that this is a video player. It's the new iPod, period. Though it does have video-playback capabilities, Apple has chosen to keep the iPod's focus on audio (for now). That said, video looks excellent on the new model's 2.5-inch screen, and the thinner profile—not to mention new audio capabilities such as high-quality stereo recording—makes it more versatile than previous generations. Consider that you can now get the 30GB model for the same price as the previous-generation 20GB model, and you have a pretty impressive product. The new 30GB iPod is 30 percent thinner than the previous 20GB color model, but the height and width are the same. (The current 60GB model is roughly 10 percent slimmer than the older 20GB model.) This may not seem like a big difference on paper, but we were impressed with the new model's slimmed-down figure when we held the two side by side. The 2.5-inch backlit LCD, at 320 by 240 pixels, is noticeably bigger than the previous 2-inch 220-by-176 screen. Despite Apple's focus on audio, the first thing everyone wants to know is how video looks on the new iPod. We downloaded an episode of Lost and a few video podcasts from the iTunes Music Store, and, to our surprise, the viewing experience was remarkably comfortable. One thing we really like is that the iPod remembers where you stop watching a video, so any time you go back to it, you can simply resume from where you left off. You can also scrub through video, though not in real time; you scroll through a progress bar, and the video jumps to the point where you stop scrolling. The specs on the video are as follows: File format support includes MOV, MP4, and M4V (Apple's DRM-protected video content). Basically, you can put your own videos and existing content on the new iPod, but you may need to use QuickTime Pro ($29.99 Direct) to convert the files first via the new Export to iPod function, depending on what codec was used to encode the files, or you can use Xilisoft iPod Video Converter 3.1,which supports video file formats including AVI, MPEG, WMV, MOV, RM, RMVB, DivX, ASF, VOB, 3GP, APE to iPod MP4 . Of course, movies created in iMovie are supported as well, which should dovetail nicely with Apple's new iMac line with built-in iSight cameras. There are also several tips that have appeared online for how to get TiVo and DVD content onto your iPod. Of course, Apple provides some content at the iTunes Music Store, including 2,000 music videos, multiple episodes of five TV shows, six Pixar animated shorts, and plenty of free video podcasts.
