mr. flea has been having weekly free hours-long phone calls to France using Skype. He loves it, no hassles.

Anyone use Skype? Thoughts?
I've never tried it, but my 78 year old mom uses it all the time to talk to relatives overseas.
Also, they use my font!

Anyone use Skype? Thoughts?
I use it to contact my family at home, and my Brazilian flatmates are on it all the time to their families. It's easy to use, usually you get a pretty good connection, and very intuitive. I like that you can also purchase call time to ring a regular phone, in addition to the free VOIP to Skype users. I wish more people used it! I miss talking to people from home.

All I know is that the iPod requires video at a specific resolution to play. (Don't know off-hand what that resolution is.)
Um, 320x 240? Somewhere around there.

I find that Instant Handbrake makes files that work with iPod every time, along with being easier to use.

Ack! My internets are letting me down this weekend - when I connect wirelessly, I keep getting either no connection or connected with "limited or no connectivity". Any thoughts on what might be happening?

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Anyone have any helpful suggestions?
Open it in Quicktime and then "Export to iPod"
(I don't think you need QT Pro for this.)

The "Export" option is greyed out in my copy of Quicktime, so it looks like I would need the Pro version to do that.
I'll give Instant Handbrake a try today. I could have sworn I had the resolution for the video set to the proper size for the iPod, but I'm not certain.
Thanks for the help, gang!

The new iPods will actually use 640x480 files even though the screen doesn't support them. When they are displayed on a larger display it makes a big difference.
