I have a question about the Ipod video that is no one will probably be able to answer "there is a way" to. I like to watch music videos and concerts on it but i want to know if there is a way to shut the screen off sometimes. You know, to conserve battery time and also because i Just want to lay down an listen to the music and disregard the video. Also, If anyone is having trouble putting video on theirs, I could probably help...

so you want a video concert to only play as audio, right?

there is a bug, where video podcasts (free video tv shows on itunes) show up in your music menu and when u select them, from there, they only play back audio....so i guess u could do it that way .

to put any of your own vids on it. there is an app that i found thats really good for converting just about any format onto the mp4 format that the ipod understands. so converting divx files or car vids you have shouldnt be a problem.

the battery life is pretty good... you can at least do 2-4hrs of video watching on a single charge, so i wouldnt worry too much about turning the video off. the 30 gig claims 14hrs of battery when just doing audio but the 60gig claims it can do 20hrs. so that might be something to conisder.

i just got mine for xmas and a love it!
