iPod Movie Torrents

November 7, 2005

The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) is reporting that someone now has up a Torrent site for iPod-specific video content.

Podtropolis is the first bit torrent tracker that offers content specifically tailored for the iPod. The site boasts “…loads of high quality content for your iPod including movies, television programs, music videos and of course music. All video is encoded in iPod compatible formats (H.264, MP4, M4V) so you do not need to bother with conversion.”

Yeep. My guess is that Steve Jobs and the “enforcement team” are loading up the assault ‘copters right now…

First Look at (5G) Video iPodiLounge has up a pretty detailed first look at the new "Fifth Generation" Video iPod. Here's my take... As per usual for newly announced Apple products, my drool factor for this thing is awfully high, but also as per usual, it's a real mixed bag of an announcement. On the upside, it's an iPod, so of course it's sleek and sexy. It's thinner, it has a bigger screen, it's available in black (without U2 even), it (predictably) came in at the previous generation's price point. And hey, it has video! On the downside, thinner and bigger screen also go hand in hand with a reduced battery life in the specifications. They rearranged the top of the unit again, which obsoletes...


Video iPod Imminent?Apparently the iTunes 4.8 update wasn't quite the yawner it first appeared to be. iTunes 4.8 users can now purchase and download music videos with select albums from iTunes Music Store. This has led to some fairly rampant speculation about whether a Video iPod is in the wings. Well, maybe... Certainly it's likely that the iPod will eventually go there, in order to remain in the high-end of the portable player market, if nothing else. I think it's likely we'll see some Apple encroachment on the living room first, however. Apple wants to widen its base as the premier provider of downloadable content as fast as possible, and let's face it, if you're going to peddle downloadable video, the 10...


The Ultimate iPod Accessory Like everybody else, I’ve been hearing all of the talk for the last few days about the “iCheap”—a rumored sub-$500 Mac (ThinkSecret) that will supposedly be announced at MacWorld Expo next month. "With iPod-savvy Windows users clearly in its sights, Apple is expected to announce a bare bones, G4-based iMac without a display at Macworld Expo on January 11 that will retail for $499." This obviously seems like a good idea (and long overdue), but I didn’t really think about the positioning of this until last night. I was having a conversation with my oldest, who was getting ready to go, notebook in hand, to help one of his friends who had a new Xmas-gift 20gb iPod. It turns...


5 Ways to copy music OFF your iPod (Windows / Mac OS X)So, you've got music on your iPod that you don't have on your computer? It doesn't matter how you got in this predicament -- maybe you've lost a hard drive (or an entire computer), or you've accidently deleted just a little too much, and for one reason or another, you don't have the original source of the music. If any of that sounds familiar, the time to fix it is now -- before you lose your iPod (and your music), or iTunes manages to get set to automatically sync your entire library (its default state, if you have to re-install it) and starts deleting all of the songs it doesn't know about. Unfortunately, the standard tool for transferring music between...


Automating TV TorrentsNow that spring replacement season is here, you won't want to miss an episode of your favorite new TV series, particularly if you have to hustle before Fox replaces it with America's Most Exciting Elevator Videos, or some other crappy "reality" show. Just to be on the safe side, here's the whole recipe for turning RSS and Bittorrent into your own virtual Tivo. Be sure to read down through the comments, as there are a passle of amendments and changes in there. Oh, and if this isn't legal where you live, why then you shouldn't do it. (And you should also remember that in a BitTorrent download, you're by definition uploading as well as downloading) (via Kottke's Remainders)...
