Great, but how do do I use whatever he wrote

There was another one, FairUse4QT... I use that because I don't have an iPod, just a $30 cheapie one and I can't play AAC's.

I hear he plans to charge for it. Wouldn't it be ironic if someone hacked his hack and you could use it for free. It was one thing when he posted his info for free but to charge people for hacking the software seems odd. I guess I am just used to free stuff.

I can remove DRM from iTunes, but it's somewhat slow.

What I would really kill for however is a way to decrypt videos. iTunes is really CPU intensive and skips like crazy, and without a video iPod there's no other use. If I can't convert to AVI what good are they?

I suggest you enjoy those tiny videos while your young. This first thing to go when you young is your eyes.

They are 640x480, precisely the problem. Apple made them bigger since people complained they were smaller, forgetting that takes more memory to play them.

So my videos won't play without skipping due to QuickTime's inferior rendering methods.
