Can videos be played as regular songs?
My question is, if we buy a music video will we be able to listen to that song on lets say a shuffle? or will it only work as a video file?
thanks

I plan on getting the new ipod as soon as it hits the stores but until then my mind is left to wander.
My question is, if we buy a music video will we be able to listen to that song on lets say a shuffle? or will it only work as a video file?

only as a video file unless you record only the audio portionNitr0 at 2007-11-15 12:46:34 >

i would like to know if the audio is as good quality in a video from the apple store as the audio in a 128kbs file .Since the video is low res. That's what I thought u were asking from the title.Jason Allen at 2007-11-15 12:49:34 >

$2 seems like an awful lot to pay for a low res music videoporieux at 2007-11-15 12:50:33 >

I downloaded a video from iTunes and it's in my Library with all my music-- so it may in fact shuffle with the music. No way of knowing for sure I guess until someone has the new ipod.emeybee at 2007-11-15 12:51:43 >

The audio of the music videos and TV shows are at 128 kpbs, same bit rate as the songs from iTunes.dcmacnut at 2007-11-15 12:52:36 >

But whatabout the presentation, didnt you see when Steve plugged in hi iPod and everything appeared on the screen..?erkalanger at 2007-11-15 12:53:39 >
# 9 Re: Can videos be played as regular songs?
I haven't seen the presentation yet. To what are you referring? I was merely answering someone's question about the bit rate of the audio track, which I believe iLounge or some other site reported as 128 kpbs.dcmacnut at 2007-11-15 12:54:38 >

Ok, sorry, anyway. Steve plugs in his iPod with the tv-out cable and you could see the whole menu system on the big screen (TV)erkalanger at 2007-11-15 12:55:38 >

Actually, that particular iPod was "hotwired" (his words). If you look at the cable coming out of it, it's thick and black. I believe this was a development/presentation iPod that had it's graphics chip diverted to output to the presentation screen. you can see that the display was displays in a kind of virtual iPod on the screen.I would guess that you'd just get a full screen mirror as on the previous photo iPods, not a virtual iPod bezel/screen display.
I also suspect they did a little something to make the video clearer on that massive screen because, come on, do you think a 320x240 video would look that good on a projection the size of a movie screen? Doubtful.
I don't think video out is going to look that good, but I'll hold my judgement until I can play with it on my own personal TV.
