Your iPod, as you have discovered, isn’t simply a music player. It can also serve as a way to watch movies and videos on the go. While the screen size is smaller than the typical computer or TV screen, the iPod is more portable and can be an easier option for car rides, bus trips, or other times when using your laptop would be impractical. With just your iPod cable and iTunes, you can transfer downloaded movies from your computer onto your iPod.
