Making the most of the 5th generation iPod
The new video iPods are clearly going to impact the future of Apple. An iPod has become as integral to the Mac as a monitor or keyboard.

Dr. R. Taylor Scott

Jeff Bartrem

At the March, 2006 meeting, Dr. R. Taylor Scott, Assistant Professor of Family and Community Medicine and Director of Osteopathic Internship at Michigan State University's College of Osteopathic Medicine demonstrated what he does with the Video iPod in the teaching of Medical Students. He, and Jeff Bartrem, a building construction expert and entrepreneur, showed how to convert Digital Video and/or DVD into iPod format (using Handbrake), how to import into iTunes, and then to synch to the iPod. They also showed how to record TV shows and DVD movies onto the iPod.
