I actually tried this using an external DVD recorder and the iPod AV cables
(also tried the dock with the S-video) and the results were pretty
disappointing so I'm not sure I'd even bother trying. It's very pixeled and
blurry--I'd say it looks worse than a really old VHS tape. The videos on
iTunes are converted to play specifically on that tiny little screen, so
anything larger is going to get fuzzier and more distorted. Now I'm not
that technical or anything but I got better results using a VCR than a DVD
recorder for iPod videos--I don't know why. Another tip, once you covert it
to whatever media you choose, watch it on a TV no bigger that 19 in. (13
in. is premium for iPod videos, IMO). Good luck.
