iTunes will play movies so it seems to me that it should be capable of doing
the conversion. Haven't tried it though...

Hi Sarah,
I've just been poking around on iTunes and did not find any indication that
it can convert videos. Maybe Quicktime? I'm a Mac guy so I don't know much
about PC alternatives.

Sarah,
Generally video work is just slow. I made a video clip of myself, about 4
minutes or whatever... song length... and processing it from the edit
in the app down to wmv format for the web took about an hour as I recall.
Typically converting a DVD on my Athlon 64 3000+ takes somewhere approaching
half the DVD play length. That's not a slow machine of course, so if you're
doing it on that old Paris box you were speaking about, which I assume is
closer to 1 gig, then that sounds like a fairly quick time to me.
Cheers,
Kim.

Thanks guys. Quicktime Pro only $30? That works for me. No, the old Paris
box only does Paris stuff, my computer is pretty old though, it's an AMD
Athlon XP 1700+ 1.47 GHz, w/512 of RAM. Due for an upgrade, just not sure
what I wanna do yet.

I believe Nero can do this thing too but am not sure. I think you can
try it out for a month before buying, so you can find out if it workes
for you. I have converted plenty of films with it but never for iPod.
But as said here, it will take a long time to convert. So here you
need a real strong computer to get it done faster. A dual or quad
processor will make it faster than a single processor. A year ago I
tested to convert the same film on an AMD dual 3800+ and an AMD single
4000+ and the dual processor was about 20-30% faster to do the job in
Nero7, as far as I remember.
