Why does it take so long to convert Music Videos on to my iPod??

Question

It takes wayy to long. :(

Does anyone know why?

Answer 1

iTunes can't convert all video/music on to your iPod, such as protected movies by DRM, FLV, ASF and so on...

iPod Nano, Touch, Classic and iPhone only accept MP4 video format, and if you want put the videos and DVD onto iPod, you need a DVD/Video to iPod Converter software.

I Recommend Cucusoft DVD to iPod + Video to iPod Converter Suite, it could help you convert DVD and Videos (include AVI format) to iPod MP4 video format, then you could transfer the output videos to your iPod Touch directly with iTunes.

Answer 10

Because it's basically creating an exact copy of the video

So if the video you got is not on iPod format,

And if you have to convert it, it's making a copy of it

So that it can go onto your iPod.
