Just to let you know, mp3 will not contain the video that your mp4 may contain.\n\nIn order to do this operation, you must have Quicktime Pro activated on your computer.  It's $30, and WELL WORTH IT!\nhttp://www.apple.com/quicktime/pro/mac.html\n\nOpen your MPEG-4 movie in the Quicktime Player\ngo to File > Export\nchange the Export option to "Sound to AIFF"\nchoose a location and Save\nimport the new sound file to iTunes\nfind it in iTunes, and select it\ngo to Advanced > Convert Selection to MP3 OR\nright click the song and select "Convert Selection to MP3" in the pull-down\n\nNow you have an MP3 version of your MP4!

Since the videos are in the .flv format you need to get a flv player. You can get a very good one (and completely free ) here http://www.download.com/FLV-Player/3000-2139_4-10505954.html?tag=tab_pub\n\nIf you want to convert them into another format ( mobile phone, iPods,psp, mp4...and anything else) use this awesome free program called Super http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html

No, unfortunately. If you bought them through the iTunes Music Store, you can only view them on your computer. If you bought them elsewhere, just burn the movie files to a CD using Windows Explorer (or the Finder if you're on a Mac).

Yes, you can, but you will need a converter.\n\nSearch for "ipod DVD converter".\n\nI found http://www.tomdownload.com/dvd_software/cucusoft_dvd_to_ipod_converter.htm although I have never used it.

The problem with iTunes and the iPod video is that it will ONLY play mpeg-4 video.  Who has that laying around on their internet site?  Pretty much no one..\n\nWhat I would highly recommend is to bite the bullet and spend $30 for QuickTime Pro (you need a license code).  What this program will do is allow you to convert ANY video to this mpeg-4 format.  The best feature, and this one's my favorite, is QuickTime Pro enables right click, so now you can right-click and save any mpeg on the internet to your hard drive, just like saving a picture from a web site.\n\nhttp://www.apple.com/quicktime/win.html\n\nSo, in the end, it's a little investment for a WHOLE LOT of music videos or game clips....  Good luck!

The iPod plays MPEG-4 files with either the basic MPEG-4 video codec or the more advanced H.264 codec. The standard way to do this is using QuickTime Pro which a serial you buy for QuickTime Player that enables import/export/file conversions between many formats. There you find a special Export to iPod setting which makes it just a few clicks away. However, all software that create files based on the international standard MPEG-4 will work for this conversions. There are many such programs available...here is one guide for what you are doing...\n\nhttp://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/253137

You can convert your files to .m4a in iTunes. If you download the files to a separate folder and then drag + drop them into iTunes, it should ask you if you'd like to convert them. If not, right-click on the file in iTunes and click "convert to MP3/M4A" (not sure which it will be, but it's NOT "AAC"!).\n\nYou'll then have two files. Right-click on them both and look at the end of the file name. You'll be able to play the .m4a/.mp3 on your iPod.

Try downloading Xilisoft Video Converter. It will convert just about any movie file to .MOV or .MP3 for use with the iPod. Granted, it costs money to get the full version, but seeing as you mentioned something about a crack in your question, I'm assuming you know ways around that. :)

You need Quicktime 7 PRO. Import the media file into itunes and then click on the option convert for ipod. \n\nThis isnt exact cos I dont have itunes open, but its along those lines
