Ipod Video help

[eyeLiektoSkee]

I just got myself an ipod video the 30gb one, an upgrade from my ipod mini from a while ago. I'm just wondering if theres specific video filetypes that you have to use because so far my .avi wont load into itunes when i say 'add file to library'. What am i doing wrong

 

[bigwhite.steeze]

has to be .mpeg4 i think

 

[lushlaxstr]

yeah it has to be .mpeg4

 

[eyeLiektoSkee]

alright then how do i convert files to .mpeg4

 

[lushlaxstr]

you need a converter, go to whatever P2P program you use and search for programs called, "ipod converter" i use xilisoft and it works really well

 

[eyeLiektoSkee]

k i got xilisoft how does it work

 

[eyeLiektoSkee]

alright i figured out the converter and the video i converted is mp4 and in itunes, but it wont go onto my ipod because the bitrate isnt supported. wtf does that mean how do i fix it

 

[eyeLiektoSkee]

k bumping my own thread because i have another question. i got a video into mp4 and its in my itunes.

This is the info itunes gives me about it:

Type: MPEG-4 video file

Size: 400MB

Bitrate: 175kbps

Sample Rate: 48.000kHz

Profile: Low complexity

Total Bit Rate: 1375kbps

oops i forgot to ask the question.. uh yeah okay it doesnt go onto my ipod still, wtf

 

[lushlaxstr]

when your in xilisoft make sure on the "profile" at the bottom it says, ipod video format. i usually do excellent quality.

if you have a video in itunes just left click on the video on options will come up, one will say convert for ipod or something, it also helps to make the file size smaller
