There's a cable you can buy for about $20 that has one end that looks like a headphone jack and the other end will be a composite connector. You can try searching for an iPod AV Cable, or a camcorder AV cable, as most camcorders use the same out as the iPod, you just have to switch the yellow and red cables on the composite end [Apple tried to get clever and force you to buy there cable] Hope that wasn't to confusing.

If you have a Camcorder some cabels work with the iPod!!! Whe you are watching a Video and you want it on your TV you need to go to Video Settings under Video and select TV on!

Would the video quality be really bad if brought up from a 3" screen to a 32" + screen?

It wouldn't be great. Make sure you encode/transcode your video @ the highest possible quality compatible with the iPod.

What I am saying is that it isn't possible to have 340x240 res video on a 32" tv without the picture appearing somewhat distorted, regardless of what your TV does..

Would it not be easier to just get a Creative Zen Vision:M and not worry about buying a bunch of extra crap and itunes?

Before people go flaming I had an i(got dooped)pod for a day and on the same day I got a copy of pPod for my iPaq. After some side by comparisons for a few hours I promptly returned my ipod to the store.

If anyone here knows how to use Videora-iPod, whats the best settings to get the BEST sound and quality of video when hooking it up through a TV?

I've just recently got the program but don't REALLY know how to max. out the potential of the program. I've just left the DEFAULT settings and click the "One-Click" Encoding button.
