iPod tech specs

We all love Apple. But their naming conventions for the iPods could be better.  As such, some of the older generations of iPods have a different maximum video bitrate than the newer iPods.  Below is a tech spec list I pulled off the Apple website that hopefully will clear up a little confusion on what settings to use with your iPods with Badaboom.  Please let me know if there's anything else that would be very helpful to add!  (please note that this is video bitrate only. There is a known issue with the 30gb iPod not having any sound.  Badaboom cannot change the sampling rate of the videos)

  • iPod -
    • 5th generation 30gb and 60gb - H.264 video: up to 768 Kbps, 320 x 240, 30 fps, Baseline Profile
    • iPod "Classic" 80gb, 120gb, 160gb - H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 fps, Baseline Profile
  • iPod Nano -
    • iPod Nano 3rd generation 4gb and 8gb - H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 fps, Baseline Profile
    • iPod Nano 4th generation 8gb and 16gb - H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 fps, Baseline Profile
