Virtualball Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 You can use iPod Linux, but believe me, it really isn't that good with videos. They aren't compressed and on such a small player, that really is a blow.

Keamas Posted November 6, 2006 Author Share Posted November 6, 2006 Do you have some more informations about this mv Player ? What video files does it support ? Is it difficult to install ? Can I sync it normal with my itunes? and does it sync my video podcasts ?

AriX Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 You can use iPod Linux, but believe me, it really isn't that good with videos. They aren't compressed and on such a small player, that really is a blow.  mvpd files are compressed videos  @ Keamas - Install iPodLinux using http://miche.aqua-gero.com/ and then install mvpd with http://ipodlinux.org/Mv_player  It can't sync with iTunes, it doens't work with podcasts, and you have to convert each video manually. If you don't feel like doing that, then you might as well just go away.

pololebreton1 Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Hi all  I read somewhere that IPL could not be installed since Apple updated the Ipod firmware to 1.2 Does the Miche installer fits for an ipod Nano with 1.2 firmware in it ? Should the Ipod be formated in FAT32 or HF+ before running the installer ? Thank you for clarifications..

macgirl Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Yeah, I ended up doing it, videos are uncompressed so waste of space ant I didn't like the interface, although you can boot in any of both interfaces any time.
