Hi, I am planning to get my black 60gb Ipod Video today. First of all, I have a few questions.

I heard that the Ipod Video lacks accessories. Does it come with a charger or anyway I can charge my Ipod? Or do I have to purchase one?

Second, how long does it take to completely convert a 700mb divx file to ipod format?

Third, I am a student of a UC and I want to use the educational discount, I can get it for $369 this way. If I walk into my local Apple store, can I buy it for this amount? Thanks

Cool, so I have a iBook. I charge everything at night, so can put my iBook to sleep, charge it, connect the usb for the ipod and charge the ipod too? Or does the iBook has to be on? Thanks alot for the answers.

1) No it doesnt come with a charger but you can buy one from Apple directly. You can charge your iPod conecting it to your Computer using USB 2.0.

2) They are many converters you can use the Apple Official one that is QuickTime 7.0.3 Pro, or if you whant some free alternatives Use This if you'r a Windows User and if you are a Mac user i strongly recomend QuickTime Pro.

If you whant more info plz PM me or add me to one of your Messengers.

Picked up my iPod last night, comes with a USB2 cable for syncing and charging on the computer only (headphones, disk, and insert for the universal dock).  Using Mac the Ripper and Handbrake it took me about 2 hours to rip a movie and convert it.  All you need to get the discount in the store is your student ID, I got mine with the government dioscount and all I had to do is show my ID and fill out a form.

Mac The Ripper and Handbrake? Just use Handbrake, it can read directly from the DVD.

1) The USB cable will charge the iPod while it is connected to your computer.

2) Conversion time will depend on your CPU speed, but expect somewhere near an hour or more.

3) Just take your student ID with you.

I got my (white) 60GB iPod a couple days ago... You'll love it (Y)

Oh, I have another question, I have a lot of DVDs with optional subtitles. Is there anyway I can convert the movie to ipod format and still be able to view the subtitles on the Ipod Video? Thanks

With both Handbrake and Recode you can check the box that will allow the subtitles, I'm not sure how it will look or if you'd be able to read it but give it a try and let us know. :D

      If I could, I would commemorate it the best way possible: Replacing old machines that are still running Windows XP with something more modern, stable and better.     Noone and nothing should be running Windows XP in 2026.
    • Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo by Ivan Jenic Image: Screenshot Google is testing a new reCAPTCHA method that asks you to wave at your camera to prove you're human. So, besides solving puzzles and reading distorted text, you can now use your computer’s camera to pass the verification test. When the hand gesture verification is triggered, your browser asks for camera access and prompts you to perform a simple gesture, like a wave or an open palm. Google says it records a short video of the movement and uses AI to extract 21 hand-knuckle coordinates to complete the verification process. The video is then immediately deleted, and Google swears it doesn't keep it. The process alone can be uncomfortable for people who wouldn’t want their biometric data, which hand scans technically qualify as, recorded. But it gets even more nuanced, as early testers discovered that the new hand-waving reCAPTCHA can be passed with a simple stock image. A user on X tested the new challenge using a stock image of a hand fed through OBS Virtual Camera, and it passed. I wanted to verify it, so I tried the same thing. It took me a few tries and a few stock images, but in the end, I was also able to pass the test. I simply had to readjust the stock image of a generic person waving inside OBS, and Google’s mechanism registered it as a legitimate hand gesture. Once again, it didn’t even have to be a video or an AI-generated hand animation. Given the simplicity of the process, the entire action can be automated in minutes. All it takes is a simple Python script to render the new reCAPTCHA method obsolete. And it doesn’t even have to be an AI bot, which is usually used for solving puzzles and other verification methods. The new reCAPTCHA method is still in its early phase, and Google will, hopefully, update its AI to at least reject still images. However, this incident, combined with users’ initial skepticism about Google’s practices regarding user data, likely won’t make too many people wave at the camera anytime soon.

      Apparently not. I know it is on Edge for business at the moment, but how long will it be before it become on the home version of Edge?
