aiight, so i used my 30 gb ipod skiing the other day, and out of nowhere it stops playing. My first thought is "damnit, i broke it!", but then realized it wasn't workin because of the cold weather, even though it was in my jacket. Are there any accesories out for it yet that could solve this problem, or anything i can do to keep it from freezing?

Thanks

that would be bad, put in in a sock, then put a handwarmer in the same pocket not in the sock that would cause damage.


also, put the ipod closer to your chest, it will keep it warmer

true you would need a few socks or something thick between the warmer and the i pod cause they do get hot

where do you have it? i keep mine in an inside chest pocket and its been working great in the -10 degree weather at keystone.

if you have a friend who crochets have them make you a thing for it, way more stylish than some sweaty old sock

hold it in a nice thick sock and then place a handwarmer or 2 in the pocket that you are goin to keep it in.. do not put it in the sock with the player cuz it will cause damage..

put it in whatever pocket you can comfortably get the most body heat from. you think having cold batteries in an ipod sucks? try having 2 still cameras and 2 video cameras to deal with out on the hill. if i had extra batteries for all of them, i'd have to brind a fucking suitcase with me. sometimes i hate the days i shoot.

flash memory is the shit. i cant wait till its to the capacity of harddrives. not only does it not really freeze.. it has no moving parts so it doesnt break. you can never fuck it up.. but the nano's screen are delicate.. very delicate

in reply on how to get videos on the IPOD.
Go to: http://www.videora.com/en-us/Converter/iPod/
Quicktime 7 pro can also convert your files but it won't include sound. Videora will do almost any video file for the ipod, then get the converted file on your itunes playlist, sync it up and your good to go

you need quicktime pro. i just searched for the key code on google and got it. then when u have the vid open, go to file->export->(then find down on export settings the ipod video setting and click on it) then click "ok." takes a while for it to export, but its worth it. i had to figure it out for my bro...

^QT files definitely include sound. I don't know what you are talking about. Quicktime is still real slow though at encoding.

well my version isn't legit haha
but anyways, videora can do about 5 videos in the time it took quicktime to do one (dont quote me on that, but videora hauls ass compared to quicktime, and its free!)

the closer to you body you can keep it, the better. it stays warmer that way. also the sock thing is a good idea.

the best thing for insulation is neoprene....that material that wetsuits are made of....the majority of riders use a neoprene tube to cover their water resevoir tube coming out of their pack to stop it freezing, which would indicate it might work for your purposes
