"One of the greatest things about the iPod is that you can take video's with you. Hi, I am Rokosz, your digital life style expert, and I am going to show you how to put your video's on your iPod. Well, the first thing that you want to do is to make sure that you have the right type iPod. The original, original generation one two, they didn't have video. So, you are going to have a hard time getting them on that. If you got an iPod Nano like this, you are going to have a real hard time getting on that and even if you could, very hard time viewing them since it doesn't have a screen. But, if you got an iPod Video or an iPod Classic Video, then you can take it with you and watch it anywhere. First thing to do, is you got to hook it up to your computer. Coming with the iPod cord there, hook it up to the USB. From there, the way you get things in and out, is hooking it through iTunes. iTunes is the port hole for putting things on and taking things off. Which is great, because sometimes if I am going on a plane ride, I want to load up all my memory with video. If I am just having a regular normal business day, I don't have time to sit there and watch video's on a three inch screen. So, I take them all out, load them up with music so I can jam out while I'm working. So, we want to launch iTunes by clicking it here. I had it exposed out or spaced out. So it pops right back up here. You want to make sure that once you hook it up that it is here in your devices list, it is Rokosz media one right there. We are going to migrate over to 'movies'. And here, right now it is setup to not sync any movies. So I am going to put it here to sync movies. And I can sync all movies. In this case I only have one movie in my thing, "21". So, that by default can do it or I can decide to sync all, sync the first, second or third or fifth or tenth or most recent. Or I can go directly down here and sync selected movies. Or, movie play lists. So again, if you have a lot of video, you can go ahead and separate them on the play lists and then sync them that way. So here we just want to select the ones that we want to select the movies, we are going to click "21" here. And now, sync the movies, sync selected movies, "21" is the movie, click "apply". Synchronization will take place. And your movie is transferred from your iPod, iTunes queue rather, right into your iPod. You can take it with you wherever you go. I'm Rokosz, your digital life expert saying: "Stream you later.""
