Could some tell me if the below is true?

Is there a hack/software/firmware update for 30gb ipod photo, to convert it to play video?

I've heard there might be, but cant find it?

Anyone heard of this or know where i can look? Yes i have done a lot of searches on google? but to avail!!!!!

have you tried looking on www.ilounge.com ?

 

doubtfull as it doesnt have the video chip in like the video ipod does

 

As far as I'm aware there isn't a way to play movies on iPods other than the 5G models that support video playback.

You could export frames from a movie and then import those as photos and then flick through them using the click wheel, but it's not an automated process as the slideshow feature of the iPod has a minimum 2 second delay in slideshow mode, plus of course there would be no audio.

It's possible it might support animated GIF/JPEG/PNG files, in which case you could possibly create a movie in that way, but I don't think that would be feasible, even if it were possible.

 

is'nt there something for the nano that can play films?

 

no as again it doesnt have the video play back chip inside

 

You could always try and install linux on it.

Much info here:
