2. The resolution, bit rate and more are proper when playing on the iPod.
3. The downloads are without DRM protection.
If the downloaded Netflix videos are DRM-free but in incompatible video formats, or improper video resolution, bit rate and more, you can use UniConverter for help. This Mac app can convert video in any hot format with ease, and provides optimized presets fro hot devices and apps including iPod, so you needn’t to set the video format, resolution and more by yourself:
