Video transfer software for iPods launches
15 Nov 2007
RealPlayer has launched new software designed to allow some iPod users to transfer videos to their portable media device without using iTunes.
The firm revealed today that people with an iPod Nano or iPod Classic will be able to view their favourite videos while on the go by using its new RealPlayer Plus package to move them from their computer onto the player.
Harold Zeitz, senior vice president of media software and services at Real, said: “Now consumers can use the one-click download functionality to view web video offline on their PC or transfer video to popular portable media devices like the iPod.”
After the completion of recent tests, the software is available for Windows, while Mac users can snap up an Apple compatible version which is still in the beta stage.
It is set to further enhance the usefulness of the iPods, with owners of the iPod Nano already watching their videos on a two inch wide colour display and iPod Classic fans enjoying playback on a 2.5-inch screen.
Owners of the iPod Touch have not been left out either, with RealNetworks announcing that is also planned to adapt the software to allow users to watch their videos on the device’s impressive 3.5-inch display.
