Could just be the mp4 format of movies that is designed for smaller screens like ipods. Good for very small screens (5 -7 inches) but terrible for larger screens as the picture quality distorts.
I blame Apple more than anyone.they are SO arrogant when it comes to what accessories I can use.That being said, who is still running an old O/S 2.2 iPhone or Touch. These cables don't work with either. One for my iPhone, one for our iPod Touch, both running the O/S 4 update. It's confusing to us consumers. Why even sell these. I misread the description.I read greater than OS 2.2.I bought two of these.
You do have to change the settings on the iPod to send the video out, but once that's done, it's literally plug and play. My only beef is that they don't sell it in black. This cable even works with my InCase brand iPod case so that I don't have to remove my case in order to use the cable. I especially appreciated the fact that the end of the cable has the "hooks" that hold it securely to the iPod as the $40 cable did not and kept pulling out. I took back the $40 cable that I bought previously after getting this one. At this price, I'm buying another so that I can have one in each vehicle. The item is exactly as described and worked great with my 6th Gen 120GB iPod Classic.
Very pleased with the music quality through the stereo with this cord. Primarily bought it because we were getting echoes using the headphone jack to drive a stereo. As mentioned in many other reviews, you have to turn the video output on and set to NTSC using the video options menu. Just for fun, we have played videos through the tv. Arrived just in time for a party.
I love the idea of playing video on my tv from my iPod.unfortunately this device didn't do the trick, it wouldn't work on my iPod touch and would only work on my classic ipod, but it has no way of charging so the battery on the iPod doesn't even last long enough to really watch a full movie. I had to go out and buy the $50.00 one after all. I knew there was a good chance I wouldn't get much use out of this component but for $6.00 I was willing to try. I had a feeling this could be too good to be true, $6.00 for a component that is $49 and up through most places.
