How can I convert a .mpg video to a format that will allow it to play on my iPod?

July 4th, 2008 · 10 Comments

I have a video on my iTunes that is .mpg and it will not download to my iPod. iTunes gives me a notice that the format will not play on my iPod. So can I perhaps convert it to a different format that will play, like mp3? Will that work? Can I do that? If so, how?

Thanks sooo much =]

      Best way is Videora. It is free iPod video converter - simple - select your iPod model and it does all the conversion and resolution settings and everything.\

      Here you download it:

      Have fun.. johnny

      by the way - mp3 is ONLY audio format while mpg is video format. You cannot replace one by the other - two totally different things.

      Well… ipod supports a format called mp4 for video files.

      there are a lot of free-ware converters available over the net… just try googling it.

      or download the free converter from here…

      You can use Joy iPod Converter to directly convert your own dvd or videos to ipod. It works great for me.

      You need a dvd video converter.
      Get it at totosoft.net

      U have to find a program to convert the files first.iPod just supports mp4 format.
      Cucusoft Ultimate Converter Suite converts all the media file to play on almost any portable device including iPod, iPod touch, iPod video nano, iPhone, Zune, PSP, video capable MP3 players, video capable mobile phones, and Pocket P.C., etc. Meanwhile, it can also support output almost any audio/video format including Video format(H264, MP4, WMV, AVI, MOV, RM, 3GP, flv, SWF, mpeg-1, mpeg-2, VCD, SVCD, DVD, etc.) and Audio format(AC3, AAC, MP2, MP3, MP4, RA, WMA, etc.).

      There is a similar question here,you can check the answer,hope it helps.
