It’s the same for Mac user to enable iPod disk use.

Step2. Because iTunes prevent you copying the non-purchased file from iPod to computer, you need an iPod transfer software to copy the iPod video, I have tried many iPod transfers, and this one works best for the iPod Nano recorded video. I have scanned it with Norton Virus Protector, it’s safe without any virus and spyware. Download and install the iPod to computer Transfer, connect your iPod to computer. Then run the iPod Transfer, it will search the iPod automatically; and all files on iPod will return in a list.

Step3. Choose the recorded video that you want to transfer, and click “Export” to begin the transfer; it can help you copy the recorded video to computer or iTunes, that’s all.

Part3. How to add the iPod Nano recorded video into Windows Movie Maker.

Once you transfer the video from iPod to computer successfully. You may want to add them into Windows Movie Maker for further editing or burn it to DVD. Because the iPod recorded video is H.264 video, and Windows Movie Maker doesn’t support that video format. You have to convert it to WMV video at first, and then you can use Windows Movie Maker to edit wmv video. I have tried many video converters, and this video converter works best for the iPod recorded video.

Download and install the video converter, then click “Open File” to import your iPod recorded video, click the profile to choose the “WMV- Windows Media Video (.wmv)”, and then click “Convert”, it will take a few minutes to convert the video. And the converted video will save in C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Cucusoft\ConverterOutput
After that, you drag the converted video into Windows Movie Maker for editing or burning.
