SYNCING TO iPod

You can send your videos to your iPod by "syncing" them to it. "Syncing" is a process by which iTunes
copies files your (connected) iPod's library to make it identical to its own. Follow these steps:

1.

From the home page, click To Go.

2.

From the list of devices, click iPod.

3.

In this window, you can select whether you want to Automatically Sync or Manually Sync your iPod
with your computer's files.


„ Automatically Sync

This option will automatically send all video files from your default videos folder (as selected in the INITIAL
SETUP) to your iPod.

1.

The first time you select this option, you will be asked to configure your Export Settings. Click on
each of the fields to select these settings:

a.

Device Name: Enter a name for the device you connected. The software will recognize
it by this name whenever you connect it to your computer. Click Save to save it and
return to the Export Settings window, click Cancel to return to the Export Settings
window without saving, or click Default to use the default name for the device.

b.

Video Export Format: Here, you can change the quality of your captured video. We
recommend leaving these settings as they are, though you may want to set a higher
quality Resolution to improve the video quality.

c.

PC Folder: Here, you can select the folder that will be synchronized with your device. If
you completed Step 5 in the above INITIAL SETUP section, we recommend leaving this
setting as it is.

2.

Connect your iPod to your computer. In the iTunes window, select your iPod from under the Devices
column on the left.

3.

Select the Movies tab at the top of the iTunes window and check Sync movies (and any other
appropriate boxes) below to allow movies to sync to your iPod.

4.

In EZ Video Converter, click Start. The progress bars on the screen will indicate how much of the
video files have been copied. (To interrupt and cancel the sync process, click Stop.)


„ Manually Sync

This option lets you select which video files you want to send to your iPod yourself.

1.

You will see two panels in the window:

y

The top panel is the folder where you save and store your videos (as selected in the
INITIAL SETUP).

y

The bottom panel represents your iPod, though the files will not be displayed.

You can select new locations for either of these panels by clicking the drop-down menus above them.

2.

Select the video(s) you want to sync to your iPod.

y

When you select a video by highlighting it, you can preview it in the Preview window at
the bottom of the screen.

y

If you find you want to edit a video, select it and click the Cutting Room button (see
EDITING A VIDEO for more information).

3.

When you have selected the file(s) you want to sync to your iPod, click Sync Now or the "down"
arrow key between the two panels. The progress bars on the screen will indicate how much of the
video files have been copied. (To interrupt and cancel the sync process, click Stop.)
