Play Video on your iPod through iPodLinux
Published September 18th, 2005 in Apple, Technology
This is what everyone has been waiting for, video on your iPod. The video plays nearly seamlessly, on colour and black and white iPods, while the sound is a bit more jerky. But knowing the iPodLinux project, they will have that fixed in no-time. Currently you have to install Linux onto your iPod, which may seem scary, to get this to work. Please note that this will void your warranty with Apple, and although there is a very small chance that something could go wrong, if you are unsure about it then don’t do it. The link below is a direct link to a video showing videos played on the black and white iPod, and the colour iPod. The photo above is a screenshot from the video, playing Family Guy.
Because I only have a black and white iPod, I don’t see a real reason for me trying this out, as videos are better in colour, and not really viewable in black and white. But a lot of people still don’t mind doing it, so go ahead.
