Original post by mattnenterprise I am having problems with my ipod it will not sync videos to it.The video format is MP-4 ,but itunes says my ipod can't play that and i have a video ipod.

iPods are very picky about what they'll play. You can forget Xvid or DIVX formats, for example. They support vanilla MPEG4 video compression and the new H.264 compression. (H.264 gives excellent results, but can take a long time to compress.)

iTunes is also pretty much designed as a closed ecosystem and isn't all that interested in converting every single video file format under the Sun. It's limited to converting file formats QuickTime can work with. If QuickTime won't play it, iTunes won't touch it.

Try downloading something like Handbrake or MPEG Streamclip. These support a wider range of video file formats and include iPod-friendly presets you can use.

You also have to manually rescale the video to fit the native resolution of your ipod. ITunes won't do it for you. This tripped me up for a long time.

You can try going to the advanced tab in itunes and creating ipod version of said videos.
Personally I used nero recode for make compatible video's for my ipod.
But I did try itunes like I said above once and it did work.
