Re: [Apple iPod] ITunes question

What format do the Amazon versions download as?
If they download as MPEG or MP4 type files then it is likely already iPod
compatible. If they download as Micro$oft Media player or as Real Player
then you will need to convert them. If they download as FLV files then you
will also need to convert them but depending on the format will determine
what converter you get and if you want to and how much you would be willing
to spend for the converter.

Leave it to the Hollywood suits to screw up a good thing.

Now, depending on what shows you want to see and how much you might be
willing to pay for a converter you might try searching the internet for your
shows. You would be surprised what you can find for free. I found the entire
3 full seasons of a favored TV show on a public (and well known) WEB site
free for the viewing that I was able to download and convert for my iPod.

NBC also allows you to download some episodes that you can play on your PC
using their viewer software and again that download might be convertible.
They use Adobe Flash 9 so I suspect the files download in FLV format.
