make sure itunes converts your music so it will work for your ipod or just do it manualy but it usually happens automaticly. hoped this helped!!!

I want to get videos from limewire to my ipod using this.

When I clicked on this, the answer was rather simple. When I read your question it became considerably more difficult to explain.

1. To answer your first question. Limewire is a peer to peer network used for file sharing. Any and all file types are available. In order to recode or transcode into something that iTunes supports in order to transfer these to your iPod you must understand the file types that iTunes supports. In this case it is mp4a (AAC) or mp3 (MPEG-3) audio files.

2. While the same holds true for video files, except now we need to talk about the supported container (MOV, MP4) then the video filter type (MP4v, H.264) and the audio filter type (MP4a, AAC). Really this is QuickTime support, but it is all the file types that Apple computer supports natively. Oddly, mp3 audio is not supported for a video file in a supported container. While you can encode or recode all the components in the proper container it won't play in QuickTime or your iPod.

3. The most common combinations are MP4v and MP4a in an MP4 or MOV container. All the high def stuff is now H.264 and AAC in a MP4 or MOV container. Streaming videos to a handheld or iPod is possible with H.264 and AAC.

4. there is no best way to describe how to get any file type into another without learning how to do each one and optimize the encoders for your intended end use. There are forums dedicated to this topic like doom9.

If you are asking if it is possible for VLC to do this for you the answer is yes, but you are still going have to learn how to do it.

What I might suggest is Nero 7. It is quickly becoming the rage among young adults because of it's ease of use for the intended purpose IE getting anything into H.264 and AAC and playing it with QuickTime and or transferring it to your iPod.

Hope this is helpful in some way!
