Watch your Movie on the iPod, iTouch or iPhone

If you have a video iPod, iTouch or iPhone, you can save your movie on it and take it wherever you go.

iPod movies are in Mpeg4 formats. Unfortunately, Windows Movie Maker does not allow you to save your movie in MPeg4 format right away.

You must first save your movie in Movie Maker as a Windows Media File (.WMV). That setting is called: High Quality Video (small) setting in Movie Maker. If you need a refresher on saving movie files in Movie Maker, click here and but instead of choosing “DV-AVI” setting, choose “High Quality Video, (Small)”.

Then use an iPod converter software, like free Videora iPod Converter to convert it to ipod format. There is a link below the tutorial to download the Videora iPod Converter for free.

I demonstrated those steps in the video tutorial below:




NOTES

The Movie iPod Converter Software shown on the video tutorial above can be downloaded for free.

This converter software by Videora allows you to convert your regular PC video files into the proper video format that your iPod understands. I use this software to transfer my home movies to my video iPod so I can play the movies wherever I am. Click here to download the Videora iPod Converter or copy and paste this link to your browser:

Here’s a summary of the steps to save a movie to a Video iPod.

  • In Movie Maker, save your movie in an ipod-friendly format: High Quality Video (Small). Your saved movie file will be a Windows Media Video file (.WMV) file with a display size of 320 X 240. That display size fits the video iPod well.
  • Use Videora iPod Converter and convert your .WMV file from Movie Maker to an MPEG-4 file. The file will have and extension: MPEG4.
  • Locate the new MPEG4 file on your windows folder to make sure it works.
  • Go to iTunes and add the MPEG4 file to your Videos library.

Homework

  1. In Movie Maker, save your movie in an ipod-friendly format: High Quality Video (Small).
  2. Launch Videora iPod Converter and check the Settings page and the Profile Picker page: Set One-Click Profile : MPEG 4/Anime (0-2 h); Set Output Video to: a folder you designate to store your ipod videos.
  3. Click One-Click Transcode to convert your .WMV file from Movie Maker to an MPEG-4 file. The file will have and extension: MPEG4.
  4. Locate the new MPEG4 file on your windows folder, double-click on it and make sure it works.
  5. Go to iTunes and add the MPEG4 file to your Videos library.
  6. Synch up your video iPod device and show off your movie to everyone you see.
