Convert DivX to iPod in Two Simple Steps

It took me a while to figure this one out, so I supposed I should share. Note, this is a Windows-only solution. I haven’t sought converters for other System, but I know there are a lot of nice ones out there:I was seeking a way to take the divx videos in my collection and someway change them to video for my new iPod. You’d think it’d be an simple enough job, right? Well, I took a way that had numerous wrong turns and some ventures into bad places, but I at last came out right. The fundamental idea here was to change it to a mp4 file that the iPod could play and retag it in order that it shows up under the “TV Shows” list in the menu.It’s not a one-click process, but it’s reasonably close and it solely needs two unusual pieces of software that are both free to use nevertheless:Leawo Free iPod Video Converter– This handy piece of software can take a divx file and push it back out to you as an mp4 with a lot of divers encoding settings.

This excellent free video to iPod Converter software can convert most videos to iPod video and audio formats, and then let you simply enjoy music and video on iPod players including iPod, iPod nano, iPod mini, iPod classic, iPod shuffle, iPod touch, iPod Touch 4, etc. on the go.

It’s freeware, but I’d unquestionably donate to the cause – it’s one of the easiest converters to utilise

* Win-AP – This handy software does the magic of tagging the outputed mp4 file to act with the settings on the video iPod. Chiefly what I was seeking was the power to make my videos to come out under the “TV Shows” list on the iPod. Win-AP makes tagging the file smooth, with fields for all kinds of info – Name, Artist, Album, Show, Episode Number, Season Number, etc. There’s no path to batch the tagging, but it’s still a handy little app.

It’s not too tough to puzzle out how it all acts – as soon as both are installed, you fire up Leawo

and point it at your divx video. After a while (depending on your system, perhaps a long time), you’ll have a brilliant new mp4 file sitting in your output directory. If you didn’t mind it not being tagged or anything, you could put it on your iPod at once. I love to keep things coordinated, so I fire up Win-AP to get the tagging work finished. It can make a backup file for the video it’s working with also.

There’s loads of other paths to work this out there, but this was the first simple one I found…

I wish this would help you out with your iPod and enjoy yourself!:)
