Ipod Video to TV| geek_mone | March 15, 2008, 1:41 pm | #1 | | Ipod Video to TV can you hook Ipod Video directly to TV using a suitable cable, I just want to playback my videos on the big screen? |

| | geek_vtecintegra | March 15, 2008, 1:56 pm | #2 | | ... Yes there is such a cable available - search ipod av cable on here, or nip down to Dick Smith or similar | | geek_thegilly | March 15, 2008, 1:56 pm | #3 | | Yes, but you may not be all that pleased with the quality if you've encoded it with your iPod in mind. | | geek_mone | March 15, 2008, 2:05 pm | #4 | | Thegilly yeah I mean at 320x240 pixels for ipods the quality wont be great. But what if I just transfer the avi video straight to Ipod memory, without encoding it. Will ipod be able to play a full size AVI on the big scree, with no ipod-encoding? thanks | | geek_thegilly | March 15, 2008, 3:37 pm | #5 | | If the iPod can't PLAY the file, I don't see how it can play the file on your TV. And iPods can't play AVIs at all, can they? But you can encode video for iPod at somewhat higher than 320x240. For the gen 5.5 video iPod, you can go up to, IIRC, 640x480. That'll still play on your iPod if it's a 5.5 (if yours is a 5, check and see), and will look better when shown on a big screen. | | geek_morrisman1 | March 15, 2008, 6:12 pm | #6 | | My classic supports 480i resolution i dont think its 480p but it may be. anyway its near to dvd quality. remember you only get that quality if the original file is also high quality. when you encode it for the ipod make sure that you have the maximum video size that the ipod will allow. the classics allow for 640x480 size video which is a 4:3 aspect so im unsure what the resolution could be if the video was 16:9 or even letterbox | | geek_mone | March 16, 2008, 12:51 pm | #7 | | Generally speaking how big will a 700MB AVI encoded onto Ipod video be? | | geek_ripeka123 | March 16, 2008, 4:20 pm | #8 | | Depends what quality your are transcoding into make sure you use the highest quality (should be a movie setting on the options, i use videora). File size could be anywhere from 500mb to 1.5gb | | Leave your comment: | |
