vicious Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 (edited) so i'm going on a long trip tommorrow and have a few tv shows to put on my ipod classic 120gb (its new). but even though all the files are in mpeg-4 format it keeps saying my ipod won't support the format. even though i had an episode of south park on it that was in mpeg-4 format. any ideas?i've also tried converting them again with i tunes and it converts to the ipod but when i select it to play on the ipod the screen just goes white Edited April 7, 2009 by vicious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vicious Posted April 8, 2009 Author Share Posted April 8, 2009 http://www.videora.com/en-us/Converter/iPod/That's what I've always used and I've had no trouble so far. thanks, i've used this but it bizarely stretches an episode to twice its length, the video will play fine but the audio slows WAY down. so slow that everyone sounds like deep-throathmay i ask what format file you choose to convert it to?
