Hi All, I have a question…does this work only with videos purchased through itune store? All my music videos on my ipod are from you tube and my movies are from DVD. I converted DVD to ipod using handbrake software, free on the internet. But they play fine on my ipod but not on TV, neither sound or vidoe…..

If this works only with videos from iTunes, is there a way i cna make these videos work on TV?

hi! i’ve done all what you have told but when i select a video or movie it shows me on the screen “TV Out Enabled Please connect Video Accesory” and i connect it and press play and the same screen keeps there and nothing appears on the tv. If in video settings i put tv out off and i try to play it i can hear the music on the tv but no image appears. what do you think it can be? Thank you.

Jonathan - On your iPod, go to Video>Video settings>TV Out and make sure it’s set to “off.” If it’s set to “on,” the video will not play on the iPod screen. Personally, I keep my iPod set to “ask” so that it prompts me to select TV Out “on” or “off” each time I choose a video to watch.

Hey man i was jus thinking of watching vids on the tv and i wasnt really wanting to fork out the extra dough. I ran of a couple of site that was getting to what you have found out but they didnt give all the details that you gave so i was just wanting to say thanks for drwing the whole picture and not just one corner. It sure does help newbies lie me out. I am about to go get a av to rca cable from radioshack and try it.
Thanx for the help

You don’t need to buy the expensive Apple AV cable… any one will do, you just need to plug the red plug to the yellow TV socket, the yellow to the white, and the white to the red.

I’m looking for some advice too… what’s the best way to copy the movie to the iPod without losing quality? I’ve noticed that the quality of a movie burtn to CD/DVD works much better on the TV than from the iPod.

But there must be a way!!!!!

Thanks for pointing that out. Unfortunately, the Lost episodes from the iTunes Music Store seem to be standard format only.
