Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Step1
Search for legitimately free video conversion software. Be aware that sometimes you get what you pay for and a free application may not provide the features or level of control you desire.
Step2
Consider the video quality the application provides. Note, however, that higher video quality generally means that the file occupies more memory space on your iPod. If you need to convert a lot of files, you may need to sacrifice a degree of quality.
Step3
Analyze the video converter's audio quality. You may end up listening to your converted video via small iPod headphones, so you want the audio to stand up to the challenge.
Step4
Take speed into account. Converting video takes time, so if you have a lot of files to convert, seek out high-speed software.
Step5
Think about your own familiarity with computers and iPods. If you are not a natural computer whiz, then look for easy-to-use conversion software.
