Play Movies On An iPod Photo?
Posted by Kent Pribbernow in "NEWS" @ 04:00 PM
That crazy gadget freak Phillip Torrone is on the loose again, hacking away at poor defenseless iPods. This time he has managed to discover a way to play Quicktime movies on the iPod Photo. Well...kinda.
Since we started playing with the iPod photo, most observers have asked us “can that thing play movies” the short answer is no, only music and photos—but the longer answer is “sorta, but not really anything worth calling a movie”. In this week’s how-to we’ll show you how to “play” a movie on an iPod photo by exporting frames of a movie, importing them to the iPod and playing them manually by click-wheeling through thousands of images, or even viewing 3d views of objects. Pointless? Yes, will a lot of people try this and put movie trailers and porn on their iPod photo? You betcha, and we’re here to help as always.
It's a great article that delves into the strange nuances of the latest iPod. Oh, and if you happen to come across Philip Torrone in person one day, and he begins admiring your MP3 player...RUN! Run far away! :lol:
