Page 1 of iPod Video, mp4s, AVIs, your PC and Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition revelation...

This may well be old news but I was always under the impression you couldn`t rip stuff off of an ipod back to a PC without utilising "iPodRIP" or some such software...

Anyway, I`ve had Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition on my PC for an age but have always had it switched off until recently when I`ve started using it as my camera-to-PC downloading tool of choice for photos.

So... Tonight I plugged my iPod into my PC and the Photoshop Album Download thingy pops up. Instead of cancelling it I let it list a few items from the iPod first. It picked up some films I`ve previously converted to "iPod" format using "WinAVI MP4 Converter" and put onto my iPod.

I selected one such film (that had an MP4 extension) and set it to copy to my desktop, fully expecting a copy-protection error or similar. It copied. No error. And on the desktop it`s a fully-functioning file with an AVI extension...

Is it just me or is that impressive? Do I need to get out more?
