Yahoo! Video Search to Go for your new iPod

I have Adobe Premiere Pro. I assume I could use it to fix the demuxing problem by going to avi or something first. Wondering if you can export it to an .mpg that would somehow be de-muxed, and skip the .avi step. Essentially fix the .mpg? Still a couple of steps, but one less format. Any ideas??? Thanks!

Google's personalized home page (www.google.com/ig) can also sort of do this. Just click add content in the top left and under 'Create A Section' you can search for rss feeds.

This is awesome, but is it hard to find ipod-compatible videos? Will most of the videos need to be converted? (any way to specify what type of videos for the search to find?)

Glad you enjoyed the tip. :)

QuickTime Pro, strangely, won't demux MPEG files properly, but Toast 7 will. Simply launch Toast, click the Video tab, add the file(s) you want to convert, and then click Export. Set your destination format, and off you go.

You may want to try out MPEG Streamclip - works great in my experience, however I've never tried it out with an MPEG1 file: http://www.alfanet.it/squared5/mpegstreamclip.html

The easiest way to get audio with mpeg-1 files is to convert it to an avi file or maybe 'xvid avi' and then convert that avi file into a simple mov file and then to iPod 320*240, found that out when I was experimenting with 'ffmpegX' last week. Works Really Well, Enjoy.
