what ipod generation do i buy that works with the video on my d3,i bought the classic but no video only sound,on the forums they say the 5th generation and the 5.5 work with no probs,but before i buy i need to confirm this so all your help will grateful thanks.
From what i've searched, check the TV Out setting on your Ipod.
done that still no good so i have sent it back now i am looking for the right one to buy, thats why i say, what generationYes, the D3 was made to work with the 5th and 5.5 generation iPod. You will be able to play video through the iPod with that generation without any trouble.
But, I have also heard that some people got their 6th generation classic iPods to play video through the D3 by plugging in the iPod, selecting video on the D3, select a video on the iPod, unplugging the iPod, and finally plugging it back in.
Any generation video ipod except the current generation will work.
great but will i have to still select the music video on the ipod then select ipod video on my d3 or can i search for my videos throught my d3 then select and play 
You will not be able to get a list of videos on the D3 with any generation of iPod.
can you tell me then how i go about it do i select video then press play on my d3
Once you have the iPod plugged into the D3 and go into the ipod section of the AV Menu, press the video button. The screen will turn black and also tells you to use your ipod for full control. Go to your ipod, select a video to play. If you have your iPod set to ask if you want to turn TV Output on or off, select ON. The video will then play on the D3, no need to press play on the D3. Once the Video is playing, you can skip, pause, play, rew, ff your videos from the D3.
thanks very much i will now look to buy a 5th generation and enjoy.
god I can't wait to get this thing
How do you determine whether it's a 5th or 5.5 generation Ipod?
