Question:

What file format does iPod video support? .avi? .mpeg? Something new? The Zune plays back .wmvs only, but on the other hand, .wmvs are easy to make and use on a PC.

Um, I lost my iPod mini, and am now ready to graduate to a giggier player that also plays me movies. Despite allegiances to the contrary, I'm also kind of impressed by the Zune. And let's not forget, I'm on a PC.

But let's talk VIDEO files, eh?

Also, what's the size ratio? If a one-hour ep of TV is 349MB in .avi, that's three to a gig. How does that transfer on an ipod? .wmvs tend to be smaller than .avis, so I could probably get at least three hours of TV per gig on a Zune. What's the story on an iPod video?

Love,
And don't forget to brine your turkeys,

Sab

That was so helpful, thanks! It looks like it will be a cool player in about two or three generations, but I'm not enough of an early adopter to need Zune mk. 1 with all its bugginess...
