Watching Podcast on my video ipod

[gingerafro]

my ipod just did it automatically. I know there is an option to turn this off and do it automatically. I'm going to try doing that and then dragging as you did.

I'll let you know how I go, and thanks once again...

I thought getting the podcasts to the iPod was more complex than dragging them. I went through these steps:

1) In the left side of iTunes, the iPod shows up in the source list. Right-click and choose iPod Options

2) On the General tab, click Videos.

3) On the Podcasts tab, set which podcasts are copied to your iPod. This is now hidden behind a button iPod Preferences - I could swear it used to be right in the dialog itself.

I just updated my ipod - i just dragged the file to my ipod and it placed it where it wanted - the podcasts folder.
I have my options set to not update videos - so I can manually control it.

Good Morning!

Last night, I turned off all the auto update features and did some dragging and dropping, and managed to create a 'podcast' folder under my ipod's icon in itunes (what an imouthful at the iend ithere).

After chaecking my ipod, the podcasts were now in the correct places, but still only playing audio...!

Then came the breakthrough...but you'll have to watch my soon-to-be-produced podcast to find the answer!


Only Kidding!


Under 'Video Settings' are 3 options for TV Out, TV Signal and Widescreen. Turns out that if you have TV Out set to 'ON', then you will only get audio. I switched it to 'OFF' and whaddya know? I CAN SEE THE VIDEO!!!!! HURRAH!!!

Bill and Tracy, thank you both very much for your help on this one. I guess that I still have more to learn...!
