I decided to give the new iTunes videos a go, so I bought "Gold Digger" by Kanye West. The sound quality is O.K., but the video quality is atrocious. This is barely a 6th my screen size and its already pixely (

Even if they are, they still suck >=(
They shoudn't offer a PC playback option if that were true.

Another reason to wait to upgrade my ipod.

Haha, yeah I'm sure they're meant for your ipod. Hence the low resolution. They offer PC playback, because... why wouldn't they? You can preview them before you load them to your ipod. Makes sense to me.

HAHAHA!
My iAudio X5L is still better.
Apple is retarded. Pay $250 for a 4 gig ipod nano, or pay $50 more and get a 30 gig video player. And they release the ipod video just a few weeks after the nano.

Some people value the small size of the Nano.

True. I still would rather pay $50 more to get 26 more gigs. wink

Dude, if that's what it looks like on your PC, I'm sure it looks crystal clear on the iPod. Give it a go there before you dismiss the service.

I'm trying to decide if I should trade my nano in for 250 sc and just buy a video, but I've already got two 20 gigs so I don't really need another big one. If I do get it, I'd sell the 20's

Trade in the Nano, i just got mine today and im not even tempted to open it, my friend has one (for a week) and its scratched to death. Im selling mine and getting a 30gb video. )

Will apple credit you like $250 for tha nano, then let you cover the difference with cash? I'd do that.

Good deal, I think I'll just keep my 2gig and return the 4gig from freepay and get me that video, then sell off my 20 gigs

I like my Motorola e815. I've got 5 Simpsons episodes and The Family Guy movie, plus tons of videos i recorded myself with it, with room for a whole lot more. ...and it's my phone.
I can't honestly say I'd sit and watch music videos (I don't even watch that crap on TV).

That is not correct resolution for a ipod video, and is not expanded either. It is 540x260 where ipod video is 320x240. It is way off too not just a little, and a differant aspect ratio.

[quotec27c3d3a20="EatChex89"]are you using windows vista??[/quotec27c3d3a20]
im pretty sure its just a skin. its the one i use. plus, vista doesnt have a colored windows logo. it has this crappy grayscale logo that just looks awful.

My desktop looks the same. I'm using Windows Blinds 5...

17-10-2005 21:18:03
yeah it is just a shitty windows skin that takes up too much resources and is a waste of time. D StyleXP for the lose. I use to use that skin before I figured out they dont work as good as the defaults and stopped skinning my shit because it usually has problems and does not look as good.
I have the windows vista beta and it looks pretty slick though

I've got the vista beta too (<3 my mdsn sub) but this isn't it. This is WindowBlinds actually, running in minimal mode so it takes up no noticible system resources =P
I disable it perodically when I'm tired of shiney

Windows Blinds doesn't eat up very many resources for me. I guess my computer just kicks ass...

Will a retail store take a return of an iPod Nano, and have the money (gift card, I assume) go toward a video?
