    Hey all,

    tried the trick below and am getting sound but no video.
    I got my ipod yesterday could it be that apple have caught on this will start forcing us to buy the cable?

    I'm connecting to the TV via scart - plug the red, yellow and white into the scart adaptor and then the TV. Setting the relevant setting in the video settings page.

    Thanks,
    spanner

    Question : how do I play IPOD videos on my TV

    Answer : Connect a camcorder AV lead ( 1/8 inch jack) to the IPOD headphone outlet.

    Connect the AV leads as follows to your TV
    Red lead => Yellow TV socket
    Yellow lead => White TV socket
    White lead => Red TV socket

    A camcorder AV lead can be picked up for under a tenner.
    apologies if this is old hat but it works and is cheap.
    Thanks for the tip. No more can Creative and Apple get away with selling us their "special" A/V lead for 30-odd euro! Hurrah!

    Can you view the video on the iPods screen ? Are you using a SCART IN connector ? Have you set the iPod to the appropriate colour system i.e. NTSC/PAL for your TV set ? Have you tried a different TV set with the required Composite/Left/Right front panel connections ? Are you sure you're selecting the correct input from the TV remote controls/selector.

    Googling doesn't show up any info that Apple have "copped on to" this method which is described in full here.

    Had the same problem with my Creative. The trick I used was when you're inserting the AV jack to the AV Out on your iPod that you don't insert the connection the entire way in (I know, sounds bizarre). By doing that I get the left audio channel and visual channel. Not ideal but better than nothing.
