Converting your video files to play on the Apple iPod
 
 
  Listening to music and watching video, wherever and whenever you want has never been simpler.  Apple revolutionized digital music with its iPod portable media players that play music, display photos, and let you view videos on a compact 2.5 inch color screen.  iPods, with their sleek design and light weight, are perfect for portable viewing.
