![]() I have some music videos I want to drag or move out of limewire into itunes, the thing is I can't actually drag or copy or import them anywhere, not the desktop and not into my shared folder where all my music from limewire is. I know i need some other software to convert the mpegs which i have downloaded, but before I can do that I need to be able to get to the mpegs. At the moment the only way I can view them is through limewire but I want to be able to put them on my ipod. Can anyone help?! I haven't used limewire for ages and I'm sure in the past I just dragged things easily....... (I am using a Mac OSX 10.4.9) |

![]() oh it should be easy on OSX. ![]() BUT ... for iTunes & iPod you must have either mpeg 4 or H.264 files which are a type of mpg4 file. If you need to convert videos to be usable by iTunes or iPod, on the mac it's rather easy if you have QuickTime Pro or iMovie I think it is. Another Free alternative is Apple - Downloads - iPod + iTunes - iSquint http://www.gnutellaforums.com/genera...unes-ipod.html I am not sure about drag & drop from LW in OSX. What I do is open the download folder & drag & drop from there if the video did not auto import. ie: Go to Library window, select your download folder (Saved or Shared) & press Explore button. Then I drag & drop onto the Library icon above the Playists at top left side of iTunes. ![]() If the video files are not mpeg 4 then you will need to convert them first. ![]() (on OSX mpeg 1, mpeg 2 & mpeg 4 can all have the same extension = .mpg or .mpeg ... or may even have a mp4 extension but so do windows audio files that are equivalent to m4a files ... the icon will tell you hopefully if it's video.)
