Zune video downloads are popular. There are obvious reasons for its popularity. One reason being that it is one of the top selling portable media devices in 2008. Another reason is its multi-format video playback capabilities that make it a favourite among tech fanatics.
For one, the Zune can play both MOV and WMV video formats.
When Zune first entered the market, a lot of people are guessing that there is no way it can play QuickTime movies and videos with a MOV format. The reason is simple. QuickTime’s owner is Apple. So is iPod. And iPod is a direct competitor to Zune, a product of Microsoft. However, this is a misleading perception. The Zune is powerful enough to play WMV, Windows Media Video and MOV files. Other than these, the MPEG family of MP4 and MP4V are all playable on the device.
Zune’s diversified video compatibility is good news to video enthusiasts. Now you don’t have to purchase a video converter, which is software used to convert one video file format into another, when downloading video content to Zune.
The Zune Software is a handy application when it comes to managing your library of Zune video downloads.
Similar to the iPod’s iTunes, the Zune Software is used as a download manager to manage Zune video downloads as well as other media files. It is easy to tag and categorize your media content. The software also allows for automatic and intelligent hot-sync that will save a new video file on your Zune whenever it detects new updates. Those who subscribe to internet TV, online video sources and video podcasts would love this feature as it is a huge time and effort saver.
The media synchronization makes it easy for your device to be constantly updated with the latest video episode. Whenever there is a new episode, it will automatically be downloaded onto your PC and Zune. Talk about human technology.
Zune also allows video sharing with other users.
Zune Social lets you share information about the latest files such as Zune video downloads you recently acquired. Activate the Zune Social and it will go detecting other users within a specific range. From there, you will know what these owners are playing on their devices right now.
Imagine the excitement of finding a cool video? You would love to share it and that is where Zune Social steps in to help.

Place that on your social networking profiles like MySpace and FaceBook and you can let the whole world know about this interesting video you just downloaded.
