I have had a bit of a search on the internet for a way of transferring a file from an i-pod to a computer and you have to download an application.
I tried one and it would only let me do songs not videos for free, I tried another and it wanted me to put in my credit card details.
I will have another look tomorrow, I'm on a mission now as I don't like to be defeated by technology!
Alternatively you could just borrow my i-pod!
