Preparing a video to work with iPod

If you have an iPod that plays video, you can load videos from your iTunes library onto your iPod. An iPod that plays video can play only videos that are optimized for iPod. You can convert most videos to work with iPod.

To convert a video:

  1. In iTunes, select the video.
  2. Choose Advanced > Convert Selection for iPod.
  3. Converting a video for iPod can take several minutes to several hours, depending on your computer and on the length and content of the video.

The original video remains in your iTunes library.
