1. Open the movie you want to save.
2. Choose File > Export
3. For the filetype, choose “Movie to QuickTime Movie.”
4. Click Options
5. Under Video, click Settings.
6. Under Compression Type, choose “None.”
7. For frames per second, choose 15.
8. For depth, choose “4 Grays,” and for Quality, select “Best.”
9. Close that window, and click “Size.”
10. Set it to 138×110 (for iPod minis) or 160×128 (for other grayscale iPods.)
11. Close that window.
12. For best effect, you may want to click the filter button and tweak the brightness/contrast a little bit. Remember, if parts of the video have lots of dark areas, the contrast on the iPod’s screen will automatically reduce due to power consumption.
13. Make sure the sound box is checked.
14. Sound settings should be as follows:

Format: Linear PCM
Channels: Mono
Rate: 44.100 kHz.

Linear PCM Settings:
Sample size: 8 bits

Uncheck “Little Endian, Floating Point, and Unsigned.”

15. Close that window.
16. Click OK
17. Now save to the desktop. Name the file “Stage1.mov”
????_-????_-????_-????_-????_-????_-????_-????_-????_-??
Next, you will need to open the movie you just exported.

1. Click File > Export again.
2. For file type pick “Movie to AVI.”
3. Make sure both Video and Sound checkboxes are checked.
4. Under Video Settings should be the following:

Compression type: None
Framerate: 15 fps
Depth: Millions of Colors+
Quality: Best

5. Sound Settings should be

Compressor: None
Rate: 44.100 kHz
Size: 8 bit
Use: Mono

6. Click OK, and Save your movie, again to the desktop. Name it “Stage2.avi”
????_-????_-????_-????_-????_-????_-????_-????_-????_-??

e. Now open up Terminal (Applications/Utilities). Insert the following command. (Change YourUserName to your own user name, obviously. If it has spaces, substitute the \ key. Correct me if I’m wrong).

mencoder -ovc raw -ofps 15 -oac pcm -vf scale=160:-2,expand=160:128,format=bgr24 /Users/YourUserName/Desktop/Stage2.avi -o /Users/YourUserName/Desktop/Stage3.avi

The terminal should keep spitting out lines of code, each with a percent. Once the percent gets to 100, the command is finished, and you can enter the next (and final) one:

/Users/YourUserName/Desktop/2bppconv/2bppconv_ppc_osx /Users/YourUserName/Desktop/Stage3.avi /Users/YourUserName/Desktop/Final.avi
