itunes help

[vicious]

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

iPod can play the following video formats:

H.264

File formats: .m4v, .mp4, and .mov

Video: Up to 768 kbits/sec, 320 x 240, 30 frames per second (fps), Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3.

Audio: AAC-LC up to 160 kbits/sec, 48 Khz, and stereo audio.

MPEG-4

File formats: .m4v, .mp4, and .mov

Video: Up to 2.5 Mbits/sec, 480 x 480, 30 fps, Simple Profile.

Audio: AAC-LC up to 160 kbits/sec, 48 Khz, stereo audio.

I use a piece of software called iSquint to encode them... on a mac.... if you're using a PC there will no doubt be an equivelant... maybe someone else can help wi' that.

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-throath

may i ask what format file you choose to convert it to?

I convert into MPEG-4 and never had any problems.

Maybe try the 5 Rs or something?
