Oh, the irony…..it burns….
Anyone know if one could take movies (iMovies, Quicktime, etc…) from our Macs and encode them so that the new iPod can play them?
Cedreca. Yes, you can.
Cedreca,

In other words, the answer to your question is yes.
could someone with dignity&taste; please mirror this link/file/stream with a mac-native format? thanks in advance
The analysts set Apple up to fail (not sure if it was intentional or not) with their wild assed estimates for iPod sales. So even though Apple ended with their highest iPod sales quarter in history, it looked bad because the analysts got so carried away with their sky high sales projections. Why anyone listens to a word they ever say is beyond me anyway, they’re all absolutely clueless idiots…
um…. when i play the movie with steve jobs picture…. its a 7 sec clip of an interview with the president of Sun Microsystems…..
where did I go wrong!? where did i go wrong!?!?!?!?!?
they analysts over predicted to get the stock up, to sell it off. it’s simple, money. money. money!
Dank, that one plays through and then the Jobs video starts….
I was about to comment positively on the decent quality wmv stream (hi-bandwidth vs.) until the video stopped updating while the sound went on – maybe by design.
Here’s your link (I believe it switches files half way):

Ever the salesman, Jobs made sure he plugged the iPod a number of times. As for “nobody knows yet” what people are going to play on the video iPod … heheh.
I second that Gorkij. I tried downloading the Mafia$oft player and couldn’t get the shit to work and I don’t have the patience or time to fsk with it.
Thanks in advance!
