> 320x240, maybe you meant a smaller iPod though

Ours were probably 320x240 too. It was many years ago so I didn’t remember exactly :p

Although, for a widescreen movie it might use less than 240 of the available vertical size. For example if the aspect of the original video is 16:9, then a 320 px wide resized version of the video will be about 180 px tall.

So yeah, my guess is that the screen was 240 tall and that some of the videos we watched on it may have been as little as 180 px tall :D

Ohhh yeah true! I bet it was cropped... well, I've got a new drive (SD card) and battery in that iPod so unfortunately I don't have the videos on it anymore, or I'd check... haha
