FYI, 640x480 videos do not play on my video iPod. I think maybe it's a generational thing with the iPod. I have the latest version of iTunes. When I plug my iPod in and check for updates, I get the message that my iPod is up to date - so I am not being offered the opportunity to update the firmware (maybe I was in the past - if it says I need an update, I update). Nevertheless, the 640x480 videos will not transfer onto the iPod even though they play fine in iTunes. Your users may be in the same boat with me. I believe I bought my iPod last February, so that's approximately 15 months ago. I think a new generation of video iPod came out after that - I don't remember - if it did then it's possibly an iPod generation thing. When I have time, which will be in about 2 weeks, I intend to take the iPod over to my local Apple store and ask about this problem. If I learn anything useful I'll post it here.
