iPod video downloads have been popularized since iPod fitted their new generation gadgets with capabilities to play video. The older iPods are phasing out as they make way to the latest models that play iPod video downloads. More iPod users now own an iPod Video that plays not only music but movies and videos as well. While the small LCD screen pales in comparison to the huge TV screens we are used to, it is still the perfect companion for us when we are on the move in a train or bus, or while working out on the thread mill in the gym.

Nowadays, our iPods are equipped with 30 GB to 80 GB of disk capacity. This can hold up to 100 hours of video. So unless you are traveling around the world for 4 full days without eating, sleeping and going for washroom breaks, it is definitely sufficient to entertain you for hours with quality MPEG 4 iPod video downloads. However, one thing you need to be mindful of is its battery life. It probably would last long enough for you to finish one or two one-hour TV show episode before it needs recharging.

The beginning

On 23 October, 2001, Apple released the first ever iPod . It appeared after less than a year’s development, and was Apple’s response to what it saw as a gap in the personal digital market. Until this point, digital music players were too large to be practical or too small to work properly. Apple changed this situation overnight with a 5GB device of modest size that held up to a 1,000 songs.
