The video format used is different for the touch but check out the free program Handbrake to convert The Complete Guide to iPod, Apple TV and iPhone Video FormatsAuthor's picBy Jesse David HollingtonContributing EditorPublished: Friday, July 13, 2007Category: iPod 101 TutorialsIn the fall of 2005, Apple took their first steps into the portable video market with the fifth-generation iPod with video capabilities. This original “video iPod” sported a 320x240 screen and supported playback of videos encoded only at that maximum resolution using very specific formats. At the same time, the iTunes Store began offering video content in these formats suitable for playing on the iPod.

The limited content available on the iTunes Store, and the limited availability of it outside of the U.S. Meant that many iPod owners immediately turned to converting their own videos into a format suitable for viewing on their iPod, and a plethora of utilities became available to automate this process. The following year came an upgrade to the fifth-generation iPod providing higher-resolution video playback. This was soon followed by the Apple TV to provide playback of video content on your home entertainment system, and then the iPhone, providing a more natural widescreen portable video experience.

Even today, however, the video formats supported by the iPod, Apple TV, and iPhone are relatively limited compared to the number of formats available on the market. This means that just about any content that you want to view on these devices is going to require some type of conversion process. The advent of these new devices has complicated the landscape even further, since more options are now available for both the viewing and encoding of videos, but with these changes come more considerations about how to encode video for the best possible viewing experience.In later articles, we’ll look at some of the specific tools and options available for converting video to an iPod, iPhone or Apple TV ready format, and some of the pros and cons of each.

Before going into that, however, it’s important to start with a discussion of the video formats that are actually supported by each device so that those looking to convert their own video content can make informed decisions about the options available and the best resolution and format to use before starting the lengthy encoding process. Apple’s Choice of Video FormatsThe iPod, Apple TV and iPhone will play back videos encoded using either the MPEG-4 or H.264 codecs. These are open-standard video formats, and not in any way proprietary to Apple, but at the same time do not represent a broad portion of the video content that is currently available outside of the iTunes Store.

Further, this does not represent the video standard that is used by most video recording devices, TV recording devices, or commercial DVDs. The result is that finding video content from anywhere other than the iTunes Store that is already encoded in an Apple-ready format is going to be difficult, and much of this content will therefore need to be converted. For example, most commercial video cameras use either uncompressed Digital Video (or “DV”) or MPEG-2.

Commercial DVDs also use MPEG-2 as their format. Videos downloaded from the Internet can be in any number of formats, including DivX, Windows Media Video (WMV) or QuickTime, among others. Apple’s likely reason for these particular choices of codec is that they are an open, established standard, and they both provide a very high level of video and audio quality for a given file size.

MPEG-4 has historically been very good in this regard to begin with, and the H.264 codec has only improved on the quality and file size efficiency. As one would expect, when developing a portable video playback device, the quality-to-size ratio is very important both in terms of maximizing the amount of content that can fit on the more limited storage of a portable device, as well as maximizing the battery life of the device, as larger content can require additional processing power, thus shortening battery life. The H.264 codec appears to have been a natural fit to address both requirements, as well as providing a stable, open standard for Apple to use for their preferred video format.

Content on the iTunes Store uses the H.264 codec exclusively. Content you encode yourself can be encoded into either H.264 or MPEG-4, although H.264 will generally provide better quality for a given file-size, it also takes longer to encode.

IPod Touch 2nd Gen Adamb10Jan 8 2009, 17:45The iPod iTouch, Apple's answer to those wanting an iPhone without the phone is a great device and sure to please those with small-moderate music collections. However it's not perfect by any means. Design: A-The iPod touch looks exactly like the iPhone pretty much.

Pretty much in that there are some differences. First off the back of the touch has a stainless steal back like the iPod Classic and not the plastic one of the iPhone. While it looks good at first you'll find it's a breeding ground for scratches.

The front of the iPhone features the stainless steal trim from the back and a glossy black front which is dominated mostly by the 3.5 inch screen. On the bottom of the front contains a single button. The dock connector and headphone port are also at the bottom.

There is a black plastic power button on the top and black plastic volume controls on the left side of the unit towards the top. Overall the touch is very well designed and fits well in the hand. Setup: ASetting up the iPod consists of plugging in the included USB 2.0 cable into a pc and the dock connector on the touch.

Install iTunes if you don't have it and iTunes will walk you through the rest when it reconizes the iPod. Depending on how much music you have, syncing could take anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour. Screen: A++Upon turning on the iPod touch my first time and seeing the slide to unlock screen, I immediately said "wow", the screen is gorgeous.

The scratch resistant glass screen is very bright and crisp and you'll fall in love instantly with it. All other devices will be a chore to watch stuff on upon using the touch. If the screen is too dark or too bright for you, it's adjustable in the settings.

You cannot however adjust the contrast. The Firmware/OS: A+The iPhone OS is the jewel of the touch. The touch comes with 17 applications preinstalled that cannot be removed.

Said applications are: Safari(web browser), Calendar, Mail, Contacts, YouTube, Stocks, Maps, Weather, Clock, Calculator, Notes, Settings, App Store, Music, Videos, Photos, iTunes. As of the 2.0 firmware, you can install more applications, both free and paid ones using the App Store(more on that later). I'll go through each app seperately: * Safari - Safari is the default browser that ships on macs, however the version on the iPod touch is a toned down version but it still reinvents the way you use the internet on a mobile device.

Gone are "mobile sites', safari renders websites in full like it's desktop brother. It generally does a good job at this but some sites may not work 100%. Flash, is sadly not supported nor is there any way to install it.

Safari features a URL bar and search bar at the top, and a back/forward, bookmarks, windows buttons on the bottom of the interface. All the buttoms work as advertised so I won't bother going through them. Typing is done via the onscreen keyboard which can be used in Landscape or Portrait mode.

Overall it's a solid browser and you'll never return to cell phone browsers after using this. * Calendar - A calendar application that lets you add events and set appointments. You can sync them back to iTunes as well.

You cant create multiple calendars. Nothing really to say here, pretty basic. * Mail - An application that lets you check your email(suprise!).

Supports all the methods you'd expect. You can also send email but because the onscreen keyboard is not that efficent, I wouldnt reccomend it. * Contacts - Manage a contact list.

Allows for adding a picture of the contact and adding custom fields. * YouTube - Search for videos on YouTube and watch them. You can also view the top 25 videos, featured videos.

Able to make videos "favorites" too, so you can save them for later on. All videos are played of course in landscape mode. Decent app.

* Stocks - Powered by Yahoo! , you can view stocks here. Has a nice graph thing and you can select a timespan to see how a stock did over it.

* Maps - Powered by Google Maps. This little application can, with the press of a button pinpoint your exact location. You can get directions to a place you wanna go as well.

Has multiple map views including a satellite view(think google earth). * Weather - An application that shows you the weather in a city. You can see a 7 day forecast and the current conditions.

Pretty basic. * Clock - Find the time in any area of the world you want. Again, pretty basic.

* Calculator - An alright calculator that has a scientific mode when turned in landscape mode. * Notes - An extremely basic program to jot notes down. * Settings - Not really a program, just lets you change the settings of the touch.

Final: A-It's a great device but is expensive. The 8GB will run you $230, 16GB $300 and the 32GB a whopping $400. I'm definately glad I got it and has alot of other uses besides the main iPod one.

I highly reccomend the Touch if you can afford it(or cant afford the montly iPhone plan). Sources: http://www.neowin.net/forum/lofiversion/index.php/t719202.html .

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
