Just in case you got tired of showing off Desparate Housewives on your new video ipod, you can surf on over to archive.org and download some of their feature films to help fill those gigabytes. Some worthwhile classics: Night of the Living Dead, film noir classic D.O.A. and Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe. Simply download the 256kb MPEG 4 version, sync them to your ipod and voila! Entertainment.
(Oh, these files also play just as well in the Core Pocket Media Player I mentioned in the previous post).
Enjoy.
Update: Further testing reveals that while the videos from archive.org work, the audio is occasionally plagued by intermittent static bursts. Some incompatibility between mpeg audio codecs? More exploration is clearly needed.
since you mention archive.org, d.o.a. and the video ipod: we’ve just released our d.o.a. remix music video “from station to station” as a free download under a creative commons license (archive.org/ourmedia.org are hosting the video…)
and there an “ipod ready” version as well, we’ve just tested that!
download and the video’s blog: http://stationvideo.blogspot.com/
enjoy!
