Things You Should Know About Ipod Microphone

August 29th, 2007 | iPod

If you have even a passing interest in the topic of Ipod Repairs , then you should take a look at the following information. This enlightening article presents some of the latest news on the subject of Ipod Repairs .

Is it true the ipod video (fifth gen ipod) will hold a charge for up to 20 hours? Let’s see!
First of all the legal fine print on Apple’s iPod page explicitly refers to the 60 Gb iPod Video only being able to play (hold a charge in the battery) up to 20 hours.

I would bet with all of its legal woes on the horizon this claim from applethat the “new iPod boasts up to 20 hours of battery life, five hours more than before” is legally valid in a controlled test environment.

But consumers don’t live in a controlled test environment, which is why I would not be surprised if your new ipod video (fifth gen ipod) will NOT hold a charge for 20 hours.

The legal keyword here is “up to”. So even if the battery lasts an hour Apple is legally covered!
On the new 5th Generation iPod battery performance has to now be measured with: music playback, photo playback, and video playback (on iPod screen or through a TV).

Apple claims that the new 30GB iPod will play music for 14 hours, photo and music slideshows for 3 hours, and iPod on-screen video for 2 hours. In a iLounge test they found that the new iPod Video played music for 15 hours and 30 minutes, photo slideshows for 2 hours and 32 minutes, on-iPod video for 2 hours and 10 minutes, and iPod-to-TV video for 3 hours and 10 minutes.

Apple also claims that the new 60GB iPod will play music for 20 hours, photo and music slideshows for 4 hours, and video for 3 hours.

Again in In a iLounge test they found that the new iPod Video played music for 19 hours, 50 minutes, but exceeded Apple’s photo and video claims, playing a music photo slideshow for 4 hours, 47 minutes, iPod-screen video for 3 hours, 23 minutes, and on-TV video for a hefty 5 hours and 24 minutes.

A Video Converter for iPods

August 1st, 2007 | iPod

A iPod video converter is necessary to get DVD’s into a format that your video iPod can use. The formats supported by iPods are relatively few when compared to all the types available today.

The video iPod and new iPhone will play videos in the open standard format of MPG-4 or H.264. Anything you download from the iTunes Store will be in this format.

These types of files were chosen by Apple because they have good resolution and a reasonably sized file. This allows you to see a nice sharp picture without putting too much drain on your battery.

However, you may have DVD’s or other movie files saved on your computer’s hard drive that you’d like to watch on your iPod. A video converter allows you to turn them into a movie compatible with your iPod.

If your plan is to watch the movie on the small screen, convert the file into a smaller resolution. That will help to conserve battery power. No need for hi-def. For H.264 files, use a 320×240 resolution at 768 kbps.

For MPEG-4 files, 480×480 resolution at 2.5mbps is fine. A standard iPod encoded video will be approximately 500MB for every hour of video.
