Why do people insist on doing this? Listen: it's not called the "iPod Video." It's the iPod 5G. It's an mp3 player that happens to have very limited (read: broken) video playback capability. Why don't people buy real multimedia devices? I'm looking at iRiver and Creative in particular. Both companies have models with larger screens, better battery life, better playback capability, more file format support, and for similar or lower prices. It seems to me like people pay this premium for a player that only works with a proprietary video format, and even then not very well. God.

I watch video on my Palm Tungsten|C. It obviously won't work for you either, but the best part about technology today is the ability to have the functions that work enough for me and a niche of people. As does something is more robust needed it's filled by another product that satisfies you and your niche of people.
I'd love to have an Archos 100Gb device, nice large screen and features, but I didn't have an Apple Newton because it was too large to put into my pocket easly with all the other items that had to be in my pockets as well.
I've not done any porting yet, but I did buy Skogafoss one for Christmas and I will have to figure out how to convert some of her favorite videos (read: Guns n Roses videos) to sync up with her ipod.
thanks for the links they will come in handy.
