MadZ Software announces the release of a new version of its DVD to iPod / PSP Converter software. The DVD to iPod / PSP Converter rips video files from DVDs and converts them into the format necessary for uploading to and viewing on an Apple iPod Classic, iPod Nano, or Sony PSP. Once the video file has been converted, just connect the player to a computer, and the converted video files are uploaded instantly.

The input video can be in either NTSC or Pal format. For multilanguage DVDs, choose which soundtrack language to convert. Also choose which titles and chapters are converted and control the output format, such as setting a custom sample rate for audio and custom resolution and bit rate (quality vrs. size) for video.

The DVD to iPod / PSP Converter also features a preview function for previewing the entire DVD or specific chapters prior to conversion or monitor the video during the conversion process.

And of course, the DVD to iPod / PSP Converter is easily installed under Microsoft Vista. No special installation procedures or changes in system settings are required. And it is also still Windows 2000 and XP compatible.

Ipod Nano Review

First impressions

The curved design, for instance, calls to mind the MacBook Air and gives the impression that the iPod nano is even thinner than its modest 6.2 mm (0.24 inch). The aluminium and glass body, combined with the new shape and a weight of just 36.8 grams (1.3 ounces), also make the iPod nano comfortable to use. The one possible drawback to the comfort factor, though, is the sharpness of the corners. This shouldnt be a problem unless you have the iPod nano in a pocket and it jabs you as you sit down.

The corners are a minor niggle, however, and perhaps an inevitable aspect of a design that places the iPod nano screen in an upright position. The display, in fact, is the same as the third generation iPod nano horizontal widescreen but round the other way.

When you switch on the iPod nano and work through the menu, its clear that this change to the screens orientation has led to improvements. The Preview Panel, for example, is smaller and allows significantly more space for menu titles and item names. You can even deactivate the Preview Panel for yet more display space.

These enhancements come hand in hand with a larger font size, a revamped layout, and new graphics. The overall result is an iPod thats simpler to navigate than its predecessors.

Features

Simplicity is always welcome, as are features that boost the pleasure of using an iPod. The nano has three new features in particular that are well worth a look.

Genius is a piece of software available with iTunes 8 that now runs on fourth generation iPod nanos. The best way of summarising Genius is to say that you can choose a song and let Genius recommend music that goes well with it. Genius also creates 25, 50, or 100 song playlists based on these suggestions.

Another key extra relates not to music but to video. You may already be wondering about the advisability of playing videos on the iPod nanos vertical screen. Apples answer is straightforward: you put the iPod nano on its side, to either the left or right. A built-in accelerometer takes note and broadcasts your video in normal widescreen format.

If youre searching in the main or Music menus, the accelerometer also brings Cover Flow onto your screen when you tilt the iPod nano through 90 degrees. You can then search for an album by browsing the covers (which appear in alphabetical order).

The games players among you will immediately recognise the potential of the accelerometer. Sure enough, you can now move the iPod nano, from side to side for instance, to help you negotiate the challenges of games such as Klondike, Maze, and Vortex.

A further technique now available thanks to the accelerometer is shake to shuffle. Give the iPod nano an energetic shake when youre listening to music, and youll hear your songs in random order.

This does raise the issue of whether your iPod nano will switch to Shuffle mode when youre jogging or at the gym. Tests show this doesnt happen: you need to wave your iPod nano fairly enthusiastically to activate shake to shuffle. In any event, if youre concerned about this you can simply press the nanos Hold switch to turn shake to shuffle off.

The final new feature of the iPod nano is Spoken Menus. This improves the nanos usability for people with visual impairments (as do other accessibility features such as the white on black video captions and the availability of a larger font).

Spoken Menus tells you what youre browsing. It gives you the titles of menus, songs, albums, and artists, and lets you know when the battery is running low. All in all, its an impressive addition.

Technology

The fourth generation iPod nanos screen is the same as the preceding model: a two inch LCD with LED backlight, and 320 x 240 pixel resolution at 204 pixels per inch. This still keeps the screen at the forefront of available technology.

With storage Apple has improved capacity by doubling it for the two new iPod nano models to 8GB and 16GB. This means you can place up to 2,000 or 4,000 songs in 128Kbps AAC format on your nano; 7,000 or 14,000 iPod suitable photos; or 8 or 16 hours of video. When you bear in mind that you can also store items in your iTunes library, you have more than enough room for daily use.

Performance

The screen may have the same technology as the third generation, but theres nothing wrong with this. Picture outlines are sharp, and the colours vivid. The edges curve slightly to match the styling of the nanos aluminium body, but theres no evident picture distortion. And although the screens covering is now glass, it resists glare and provides clear images.

Audio quality with the iPod nanos standard earphones is easily as good as the excellent sound reproduced by the third generation models. If you have the good fortune to own top of the range headphones, however, youll notice that the fourth generation nano is better because it eliminates background hiss almost completely.

As for power, tests show you can squeeze about 25% – 30% more life from the new iPod nano battery than Apples official figures of 24 hours for audio and 4 hours for video. Add this to a charge time of just one and half hours to 80% capacity, and three hours to full charge, and you have a long-lasting and easily revived digital media player.

Conclusion

Once again, Apple has produced an iPod that sets a high standard for others to follow.

Pros

Great range of colours

Distinctive design change

Lightweight

Improvements to accessibility

New features such as Genius and the accelerometer

More storage

Good battery life

Cons

New shape has sharp corners and may not appeal to everyone

Itunes Its Advantages Over Other Mp3 Programmes

Despite the introduction of many MP3 music sites on the Internet, some of them backed by major companies, iTunes remains dominant. This isnt because iPods, the worlds bestselling portable media players, work only with iTunes. They dont: many media programmes make a point of working with the full iPod range. The reason iTunes is so successful is that Apple treats it like any of its other products, and ensures that it provides precisely what people want.
