This may sound stupid, but how do you copy videos into your video library in iTunes 6? I tried drag-and-drop, but the video library won't let me drop anything onto it. And I can't find a video subsection in the Music > iTunes > iTunes Library folder.
I think it has to be MPEG or H.264.

Okay, so maybe I jumped the gun. The iMac is awsome, although I wouldnt buy one (i couldnt live with one screen or no upgrades). The iPod is awsome too, better than the last although video on a 2.5 screen is dumb. Video out, now that could be useful. Maybe I should just get one and see how it is. Still disappointed, I wanted some kick ass powermacs! -maestro

just drag them into your library or your dock icon for itunes. O, and most every file type works, except wmv

I think you all missed the point of these new products: the new features aren't anything to pay extra for, they're just side additions. The iPod didn't have raised prices for the new features, they even dropped the price on the 60GB and added an extra 10GB to the entry-level model. Even if they didn't have video playback, they'd still be good. Heck, I don't mind watching videos on my Linux-ed 3G iPod even though the screen is .5" smaller and over 250,000 colors less, so you should all try it and THEN tell me that the 5G iPods suck. Also, the iMac G5 upgrades are nothing to complain about, they upped the processor speed by .1GHz, changed out the AGP video for slick PCI-E ATI X600 cards, added a $150 iSight to the top and made the thinnest computer in the world thinner. Sure it's not Apple's style, but tell me that when you buy one of these products that you got gypped, that it sucks. Just try to compare them to their predecessors and tell me they got worse. Even the competition falls away in the face of these new devices. I like Steve Jobs' picture of the remotes for the media PCs. Simply put, media PCs are too complex. Also with the iPod, you won't find a comparable media device for that price, the most you'll get is a video player that accepts CF cards (which I might add cost extra).

I think the point was that we were looking forward to PowerMac updates, not necessarily that what is here is bad. But it seems as though we'll be satiated, as there's another Media Event this Wednesday

This whole page was devoted to ragging on the new iPods, but I'd like a PowerMac update as much as anyone. If they bumped the speeds another .2 or .3 GHz and added PCI-E, I'd be very happy (mainly because we don't have one yet). The ability to use high-end PC video cards like the new Radeon X850 XT Pt and the 512 MB GeForce 6800 Ultra, plus the fact that the lower-end versions could be found much cheaper would really accelerate Mac gaming.
