649074 2008-03-13 04:16:00 sorry that was flv format nerd (109)
649075 2008-03-13 04:23:00 If it was from Youtube, paste the Youtube link here (http://www.catchvideo.net/)

Select the MP4 format, and this site will convert it, then all you do is download it. Add it in Itunes. Thats if your Ipod supports video. Then click on sync.

649076 2008-03-13 04:27:00 how bout for the mpeg file though? shouldnt ipod support it? nerd (109)
649077 2008-03-13 04:29:00 No it supports MP4 / Mpeg4.

You'll have to convert it somehow to MP4 format

649078 2008-03-13 04:36:00 any ideas how? nerd (109)
649079 2008-03-13 04:40:00 You could try this (www.any-video-converter.com)

Last time I used it, the sound and video went out of sync. It went in the bin.

There are probably other programs, but theyre not free, or they'll have limitations.

handbrake
handbrake.fr

Rip the movie in handbrake to h.264 then import the file into iTunes> select the file and choose "convert selection for iPod/iPhone" then sync with iTunes.
