777304 2009-05-27 07:35:00 I downloaded a video off you tube yesterday (in HD) and was wanting to convert it to put on my ipod nano (3rd gen) using Super (www.erightsoft.com).

I converted it into mp4 using the H.264 codec, which plays in itunes but when I try to sync it to my ipod itunes says it is a file which my ipod cannot uderstand :confused:.

Am I encoding it into the right format? or is there some setting I have to change :confused:?

777305 2009-05-27 07:53:00 You might need to convert again for compatibility for iPod, as noted here (reviews.cnet.com). Or maybe the ipod only supports MP3, in which you would have to convert/extract - have you tried that? Some free dvd video movie mp3 converters...

I though converting to mp4 with super would put it in an ipod ready format anyway?


What bitrate did you encode it at?

1248Kbps

777308 2009-05-27 08:15:00 I've had the same error (encoding it to H264). The last program I used, I just selected 320x240 (or whatever the video ipod supports), and Itunes synced it ok Speedy Gonzales (78)
