New version of iTunes converts video for iPod

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302892

It must be .mov, mpeg, or mpeg4.

I don't believe avi, or wmv will work.....those you will have to do another way.
...might I sugest Nero Recode 2.

BTW the iTunes video converter is soooooooo slow.
I will use other means....because it's faster.
For those who never figured out how to convert files for iPod...this will do.

Update #2

iTunes video converter = teh suck!
Don't waste your time.


iPod plays video but not audio of some exported files

If you have an iPod capable of playing videos (currently the Fifth Generation iPod), you can play videos purchased from the iTunes Music Store on your iPod. You can also use QuickTime Pro or iMovie HD to export video files in the right format for iPods that support video playback. For conversion instructions, see these articles:

* Creating video for iPod
* Exporting a movie from iMovie HD to iPod

If you've exported a video for iPod play, you may come across a situation in which the converted video doesn't contain any sound when you play the file in QuickTime Player, iTunes, or on your iPod. If this is the case, the original video file may be in a format that contains muxed (multilplexed) audio and video, and cannot be exported with audio.

To determine if your movie file is muxed, follow these steps:

1. Open the original movie file in QuickTime Player.
2. From the Window menu, choose Show Movie Info.
3. Click the More Info disclosure triangle in the Movie Info window (if it's closed).
4. Note the entry next to Format.

If the format is "MPEG1 Muxed" or "MPEG2 Muxed," the audio portion of the file may not be retained with QuickTime Pro or iMovie. Please see this article for more information.
