I’m back with yet another iPod Nano Video. The new iPod Nano 5th Generation is a great tool for the video blogger, hyperlocalblogger or just about anyone who wants to add to their video arsenal.

I think it can be a very effective toy with many features available, not just video. You can add special effects to the video but I have not played with that feature yet. I work on a Mac and it records video in the .mov file format. That is my preferred format.

* 8 GB capacity for 2,000 songs, 7,000 photos, or 8 hours of video
* Up to 24 hours of music playback or 5 hours of video playback when fully charged
* 2.2-inch color TFT display with 240 x 376 pixel resolution
* Supports AAC, Protected AAC, MP3, MP3 VBR, Audible, Apple Lossless, AIFF, and WAV audio formats; H.264 and MPEG-4 video formats; JPEG, BMP, GIF, TIFF, PSD (Mac only), and PNG image formats
* One-year limited warranty with single incident of complimentary telephone technical support

It’s a pedometer, stopwatch, calendar, alarm clock, FM radio, clock, plays games & voice recorder. All of this and it’s only 2.2 x 1.8 x 4.1 inches & 4.8 ounces.

If you want to play Private Investigator, I think it would make a perfect spy camera. It’s a mini video camera and you could easily go undercover with it.

O yea, it plays awesome sounding music when I workout and blog.

If you work with video at all, you are on the constant lookout for music that you can use with your videos. I find myself always grabbing music and uploading to a music folder or putting it in my iTunes Library for my own listening pleasure or for future uses in my videos.

I recently came across a fantastic website that allows me to capture music and video straight from YouTube. I have other ways of capturing but this is a very simple method that anyone can use. You can capture music with a PC or Mac. I use a Mac.

Dirpy.com is a YouTube to .MP3 converter. This is a fantastic tool when you need to capture or download free .MP3 music. The concept is very simple. Any audio that you hear on a YouTube video, you can easily capture and download to your computer. Cool huh?

You have to worry about your own copyright issues and how you use the material you download. I’m not here to preach about that. This is fast and simple. Just the way I like things. I’ll cover the video aspect of this program in another post. If you are looking for cheap and free mp3 music, I suggest you give Dirpy.com a try.

Disclosure: I found Dirpy by reading The Big Beer Blog and a comment From Josh Whitford, Marketing Ideas. After following some of their links, I stumbled across Dirpy. Everyone should check out Allyn & Josh.
