Ys Book I and II Anime's onto iPod Help, and another iPod Question

[Cleria]

I managed to download all of the animes from both series. Both series are under an .mkv or an sfv format.

The problem is, I want to get them onto my iPod. I've tried numerous applications - and all ended up being trials.

Oh I should mention - I am willing to look for registration codes if need be. But yeah, help would be appreciated with that big time ASAP.

Another iPod problem. i find a trailer / file / whatever that I get onto iTunes perfectly fine that has audio, I get it into the iPod friendly format, and it has no sound. Why is that? This has happened with .mpg and with .mov files. Should / can I do something?

Well first things first, no serials or cracks here. That's one of the big rules.

Secondly do this:

Use this program to convert the MKV to AVI or some other format:

Then use one of these to convert to iPod format:

All this is free. Don't copy that floppy.

iPods should be able to use any MPEG4-based container format, though it might not play well with WMV.

All that converting and encoding will seriously reduce the already low quality of what you downloaded.  But then again, you will be watching them on an iPod so quality is not an issue.

I managed to steal a Porsche 911 Turbo.

The problem is, I want to start it and drive it.  I've tried numerous hot wiring tricks - and all ended up not working.

Oh I should mention - I am willing to steal more things if need be.  But yeah, I'd like an accomplice to my thievery ASAP.

Seriously though, follow Kitsune's advice.

I don't understand how to use that LazyMan's application...I've tried opening every file...could someone guide me through it please?

Oh and I should mention - I do know (obviously) no hacks / warez etc - I just wanted to make a point that I've been trying everything I can.
