IPOD video

[Aaron Strader]

The new iPod is supposed to support MPEG-4 and the new H.264 codec.

The actual supported formats are found here:

https://www.apple.com/ipod/specs.html

Quoth the website:

“H.264 video: up to 768 Kbps, 320 x 240, 30 frames per sec., Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats

MPEG-4 video: up to 2.5 mbps, 480 x 480, 30 frames per sec., Simple Profile with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats”

The latest version of Premiere Pro seems to have the compatible codecs needed to output to H.264 in the Adobe Media Encoder. My testing it with itunes produced decent results. No one will know for sure until the units start shipping though.

I’ve also seen QVGA quality quoted (first Q based alliteration ever!) in some of the various trades, so you can adjust your settings accordingly.

I’m kinda more psyched about video on this device than any other previous portable. Look at the potential based on iTMS sales… WOW! As soon as we can figure out how to get this out there as paid content, that’s money in the bank.

I subsequently found something similar on the quicktime pages. Yse how to get paid – even at .25 per clip ( 1.99 is way too much for a TV show compared to the cost of a PVR and outputting to IPod format) is the trick. ( The broadcast flag may be here sooner than expected as a result ) And finding compelling video concepts not based on vast amounst of skin – which will surely sell well – is part 2 of the trick. Maybe do-it youself motor mechanics
