Baseline works fine in h.264 320x240 for ipods, but baseline profile in 640x480 h.264 is not ipod compatable at any bitrate. In order for it to be ipod compatable at 640x480 it has to be in the new Simple h.264 profile.
I've tried every bitrate I can think of in h.264 with baseline profile but none of them will transfer if its in 640x480. Straight MP4 will work, but it looks terrible compared to h.264 and the file size is always larger. But of course I could be doing something wrong. If someone can make a MP4 h.264 codec in 640x480 and have it transfer to an ipod I'll jump for joy because i've been stuck with 320x240 format because of file size. Rev.
