I believe I read that on their Wiki and was going to try and find the link at www.gtkpod.org to verify that but the web site isn't responding right now. I'll double check that later. The iPod she has is a First Generation version. It won't run iOS more recent that 3.x so she cannot get any of the newer features with iOS5 like NetFlix movies. (At least as far as I can tell so far. I haven't checked that out very much yet.) My real need here is pretty small. I was trying to find something nice for my wife 'cause she's been doing nice things for me, but there's no rush on this. My personal interest was really because I've got a Kindle Fire coming in a couple of weeks which I want to use to watch movies when I'm donating blood. (I do that a lot because my blood is pretty unique.) Anyway, I figured out Handbrake for ripping my DVD collection and was going to use the iPod to test the video playback. Anyway, I can probably do that from a Windows VM, or worst case boot my laptop into Windows and do it native if required. Thanks for your help. I do appreciate it. Cheers, Mark
