[iTunes] movies in iTunes?

[Ken Stevens]

Good morning Becca,

If I remember correctly your daughter has an iPod nano 3rd generation.  It will play H264 and MPEG 4 videos.  The MPEG 4 videos will have an extension of .mov .mp4 or .m4v.  The Sansa adds a third format WMV which cannot be played in iTunes or on the nano.  There are numerous converters to convert WMV files to mp4, some of them free.

Just type "converty WMV to MP4" into google.

Ken

I don't do much video at all (my daughter has some videos we've downloaded from iTunes) but a friend from another list sent me a .mov file to play with on the Sansa.
