"One of the coolest things about having an iPod video is being able to take videos with you wherever you go. Hi I'm Rokosz your digital lifestyle expert and I'm going to show you how to put your movies and videos onto your iPod. First thing you want to do is to make sure that you put your iPod cable up to the iPod and plug the USB into the computer. Then you're going to want to launch iTunes, and there it is there. Now you also want to select your devices, in this case here the Rokosz media iPod, and this is coming up the summary. We're going to navigate over to movies. Okay, now to make sure that once we put the movies into it that it gets into the iPod you want to make sure that it's set up to sync. Right now it's not, so we're going to sync movies and here I'm going to make it sync all my movies, so that way I know that if I put it in it's going to come to the iPod. Now you're saying "Great Rokosz, but how do I get the movies into iTunes so it gets in the iPod?" Well, I'm glad you asked. Follow me. What we're going to do here is launch our finder, which is where all of our files live here. And now I've chosen my external drive here and into my music videos. And it's just as simple as drag and drop. I'm a big Dirt Nasty fan here so I'm going to take old Dirt and just add him right to the library. Maybe I'll put some Keyboard Kid in there, jamming to a little bit of the Kid, and drop it right in there. Now when I navigate over to my movies section, you don't want that to apply right now, and there you're going to see with a title screen or with a thumbnail rather, you're going to see Mr. Dirt Nasty and the Keyboard Kid and the movie Twenty/One that I loaded in. Now we just simply go back to our devices, where we were before, movies, make sure we're clicked on sync movies, down here to apply. Synchronization is syncing do not disconnect, when that says it's okay to disconnect you're pretty much okay to disconnect and then you have your movies ready to travel with you on your iPod wherever you go. I'm Rokosz your digital lifestyle expert saying Stream You Later!"
