This review includes 5 parts:
1. How to watch PDF files and ebooks on iPod Touch/Nano/Classic/Video
2. How to rip DVD and convert video to iPod Touch/Nano/Classic/Video
3. How to watch iPod Video on large screen TV
4. How to download youtube video to iPod Touch/Nano/Classic/Video for free
5. How to download limewire video to iPod Touch/Nano/Classic/Video



Part1. Watch PDF or Ebook on iPod Touch/Nano/Classic/Video

iPod cannot directly display PDF files, you have to convert your PDF file or electronic book to*.txt format, and make sure the file size is smaller than 4KB, and then copy the *txt file to the "Note" folder ion your iPod. Here are the detailed steps:
1. Enable your iPod as a portable hard drive, plug in your iPod to computer and run iTunes, in the summary tab, check the option named "enable iPod disk mode"
2. Download and install iGadget, it can convert and cut your files to 4kb .txt files. Here is the download link: http://www.youtubetoipod.biz/software/igadget.html
3. Connect your iPod to computer, open "My Computer", open the iPod drive (the new drive with your iPod name), and copy the txt file to the "Note" folder, done. Then you can read the text file on iPod note.

The new Kindle program for the iPhone and iPod touch is almost as good as the Kindle itself, a device from Amazon dedicated to reading electronic books. But Kindle for iPhone is by no means the only e-book reader, and not necessarily the best.
Here is a video about this app

Another free program, Stanza by Lexcycle, seems easier to use. With Kindle for the iPhone, even after you've downloaded Amazon's e-reader to the phone, you still need to go to Amazon's Web site to buy books from Kindle's creator.

In contrast, Stanza offers easy-to-download titles from within the program's list of merchants, including the Fictionwise Book Store (just purchased by Barnes & Noble), BooksOnBoard eBook Shop, Random House and Harlequin's free libraries, as well as free books from Feedbooks.




Part2. Rip DVD and convert video to iPod Touch/Nano/Classic/Video

iPod can only play MP4 and H.264 video, but DVD movie is MPEG-2 video and CSS protected, so you need an application to rip DVD to iPod MP4 and convert video to MP4 video, then sync it to iPod via iTunes. I recommend an program called Aimersoft iPod Converter Suite, it include a DVD to iPod Converter and a Video to iPod Converter which can rip protected DVD and convert limewire, youtube and other video formats (AVI, MPEG, WMV, MOV, FLV, XviD, etc) to iPod. And I often use the free iPod manager to transfer video bettwen iTunes and ipod.

Part3. How to watch iPod Video on large screen TV

Set up your iPod video options. On your iPod choose Videos -> Video Settings from the main menu. You will see three options: TV Out, TV Signal and Widescreen. Select the “TV Out” option.



Get your A/V cable. If you don't have an eighth-inch-to-RCA cable, you can pick one up on eBay for five or six bucks shipped. Search for "camcorder A/V cable." Remember, you want a three-plug yellow/red/white RCA connection at one end and a three-banded eighth-inch (3.5mm) A/V plug at the other.



1. Plug the red RCA plug into your TV's yellow RCA jack.
2. Plug the yellow RCA plug into your TV's white RCA jack.
3. Plug the white RCA plug into your TV's red RCA jack.
After making these connections, you're physically ready to begin playback.



Part4. Download youtube video to iPod for free (HQ Video)

iPod can play only MP4 and H.264 video, youtube video is stream video (.flv), so you need special software to capture the stream video to MP4 video, and then sync it to your iPod via iTunes.

1. With free online Youtube Downloader HD: http://keephd.com when you find your favorite youtube video, just copy the video URL ( like this format http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=je2MFXDr7xw ) to the "Youtube URL" box, click "Download Video", choose the output format (FLV Low Quality, 3gp Mobile, MP4 High Quality, High Definition 720p), and then click "Download Video" again.


2. With Free Programs
1.Free Youtube downloader HD
http://www.youtubedownloaderhd.com
2.Free YouTube Downloader
http://www.flash-on-tv.com/free-youtube-downloader.html

These two tools both support HQ Youtube download, and you can also use the video to ipod converter I recommended to convert the youtube video to the format for your iPod.




Part5. Download limewire video to iPod Touch/Nano/Classic/Video

For more free music and videos you can download from free source P2P program limewire, it's a file sharing program which users can share their music, videos or programs on it, the basic version is totally free.
