Video on nano
Llorean:
The iPodLinux method is far from ideal though. Since the files end up *incredibly* huge.
jessedude:
it's tolerable, though. except if u have a teeny weeny 1gb. >:(

A nice individual has actually found a way to reduce the file size. The file size after being encoded into a lower resolution remains at nearly the same size instead of expanding into 3-4 times larger than the previous file. Though it's still huge when comparing the resolutions, it's making it's way.

You know, video might not be very pretty on the nano's screen itself, but how about composite output? You use a headphone jack -> RCA audio plug cable, and one channel would be for the video and the other would be for audio? How high would the samplerate have to be? Oh, I guess not many people would know that...I tried Google but it didn't help much...
My brother smashed the screen of my nano ( >:( ), so that will delay my progress a bit, but I will eventually investigate this.

There's some info about RCA video encoding. The Audio is the same as normal headphones, so you could leave one channel alone.

The above has more specifics about the timings required. This is important because that video signal gets modulated up a lot. Given the horizontal scan frequency (15.734 kHz) of NTSC monitors is just about at the top of the range of human hearing (20 kHz, the max frequency responce of most audio devices' DAC (Digital to Analog Converter), including the iPod's), I'd doubt you can get a very good (if any) picture.
Very neat idea, though. It would require a much faster DAC than is used in audio.
