Some universities do have special content channels on iTMS for audio, I'm sure video could be added as well. For some of those genres (instructional, special interest, religious, ballet/opera) people should pay per download, while others (Library…

Just ask them to clear your download queue and then regrant the song in question (include your order number). You might also have to log out of the store and log back in... sometimes the network just needs to be refreshed.

You might have to demux (split video/audio) and then re-encode using third-party apps. Try ffmpegx: http://homepage.mac.com/major4/

Sony BMG already lists their music in the US store, so I'm not sure what that comment in the article is about...

Every iPod gets its own sync options, don't worry about that. And going from one computer to another requires setting up the sync options on each system - otherwise you could inadverently wipe out your entire iPod and that would be bad.

These machines have very little RAM, no disk drives, and flash memory instead of a hard drive. I doubt OS X would even run on them. And don't expect to see a pretty Aqua interface on an 8-bit black & white "e-ink" screen. It was nice of Appl…

Just glancing at Automater, it doesn't look like there are any functions for saving reference movies in Quicktime, but I bet you could do this with plain AppleScript if you have some time to search around...

Guys guys guys... YOU CAN PUT YOUR OWN CONTENT ON THE IPOD!!! The same way you can rip your own CDs to AAC, you can rip DVDs to MP4 (although not with iTunes, unfortunately) or transcode other formats to MPEG-4. To rip DVDs: http://diveint…

In Firefox prefs you can go to the Content tab and uncheck "Enable Javascript" (although this will disable most of the functionality of Gmail), or click the Advanced button and uncheck "Raise or lower windows" which should kill the focus-changing sc…

.mp4 (either standard MPEG-4 or H.264) You can use something like ffmpegx or Quicktime Pro to transcode it.

Quote: Originally posted by Placebo it kind of disturbs me how many processes Mac OS X typically has running. A lot of it has to do with Darwin's kernal design; I bet the kernal + all neccessary processes don't use any more memory than Linux…

If you have the Divx plugin for Quicktime, I think "Export" method above will work, but ffmpegx is another way to go.... As for the original question: I was able to try this with one of the HD trailers on Apple's site and the audio came out fine.

Quote: Originally posted by octane If I want to take some non-CSS encrypted VOBs to h.264 and iPod video, would Apple's mpeg-2 component be the easy, reliable way to do it? Like VOB -> h.264 using QT 7 Pro? The easier way would be to down…

What codec are the original files using? Are they just plain old MPEG-2?
