home of the iPodLinux Project (http://sourceforge.net/projects/ipodlinux/)! iPodLinux is an open source venture into porting Linux onto the iPod (http://www.apple.com/ipod/). So far, we have successfully ported a customized uClinux (http://www.uclinux.org) kernel to the iPod, and written a simple user interface for it dubbed podzilla. Additional applications and modules have been written, adding many capabilities not found in Apple's firmware. iPodLinux is currently safe to install on 1st, 2nd, and 3rd generation iPods. Development is currently on-going on later generations of iPod, including the fourth generation click wheel, mini, U2, Photo/Color, Nano, and Video. Donations always help when it comes to supporting new hardware. Progress can be tracked on the Project Status page or the blog (http://www.ipodlinux.org/blog). We are unable to provide support for these newer iPods.

AviSynth is a powerful tool for video post-production. It provides almost unlimited ways of editing and processing videos. AviSynth works as a frameserver, providing instant editing without the need for temporary files. AviSynth itself does not provide a graphical user interface (GUI) but instead relies on a script system that allows advanced non-linear editing. While this may at first seem tedious and unintuitive, it is remarkably powerful and is a very good way to manage projects in a precise, consistent, and reproducible manner. Because text-based scripts are human readable, projects are inherently self-documenting. The scripting language is simple yet powerful, and complex filters can be created from basic operations to develop a sophisticated palette of useful and unique effects.

Thanks to msopent for a detailed set of MOV-conversion instructions. There are example scripts for MOV files here. You will need the QTReader plugin.

This project utilizes the iPod's ability to store and display short text files to allow you to view RSS Feeds, Weather Forecasts, Movie Showtimes, and other text documents on your iPod when you are away from your computer
