IPod Kiosk sync software?
Hi People.
Does anyone know of some software that can copy video over to an IPod?
What we are looking at doing is setting up a kiosk that has videos of a tourst attraction people can then plug in their video IPod click on a button and have the video(s) copyied to their IPod for later viewing. Of course it has to be non destructive to any information already on the IPod.

Any Ideas?

Can you just copy video files to the IPod via script and have them accessable via the IPods menu or is there database updates needed? I don't have a video IPod currently (but will be getting one for testing). Also wouldn't the IPod need to be in Disk mode for that to work?

To add the video to the iPod's menu, you would need to interface with the iPod's database. Should be able to be done, but I lack the skills to do so

Look into Applescript!

There are devices that let you record directly to an iPod that plays video.
