ello everyone

I own an iRiver h320 (used to play only music but then a firmwire update came out allowing it to play video) and the whole video process was a huge ordeal and the start. The only method to encode videos was like the long proccess in the sticky above me. But now, about 6 months after, its as easy as dragging and dropping your movie into a folder and its converts it for you.

So everyone when u get your new ipods, have patience.

Secondly, this is the iriver h320 forum:

http://misticriver.net/forumdisplay.php?f=83

which will answer many questions people have about video.

Admin take note, a sub forum will need to be required for just video support.

Drag and drop encoding, as well as the program iriverter, can be adjusted to encode for the ipod, and if theres enough interest ill do it for you.

Thirdly, at misticriver we set up a webpage were people would post there ipod encoded videos so everyone else could get them without the hassle. It worked well and the same should be done here.

thats about all i got to say.

p.s woot first post
p.s.s yes i bought a new ipod (black of course)

Sounds great. The current process is obviously very tedious. If iriverter was configured for the ipod that would be awesome.

You havent gotten many responses, but EVERYBODY would want a site like that. I was thinking of setting one up myself, but extra time is whats holding me up.

Setting up the site wouldnt be that hard. I'm more concerned with the legal ramifications. If it becomes as popular as you would like it to be, it will most likely be shut down because of the content you will be hosting.

The best way for us to trade these files is through megaupload, filefront, etc.

We just have to find an organized way/place to list them so people can access them and share their own uploads.
