No I could not get that one to work, it wouldnt copy to the ipod. I cannot analyse the file to work out why, perhaps it is not baseline, but I have no software that can tell me whether it is baseline or main profile.
Also in an email to me recently, you asked this: "Hey Steve: What you are saying to me is that you simply changed the extension from .mov to .mp4 and it worked on the iPod? Because I made a DVNTSC 640x480 movie from the original DV movie. I then exported it Movie to iPod (320x240), and changed the extension from .m4v to .mov. I did not do the export to .mp4, selecting the "baseline" thing that Michael described. So I'm confused." Im sorry all this stuff is confusing, I will try to make sense but I may fail ;) When you use the 'movie to ipod' option in quicktime, it creates a mp4 file that is the right sort of h264 mpeg4 to work on the ipod. But Apple decided that rather than call it a .mp4, they will use .m4v instead, which is confusing. So some people prefer to rename the file back to .mp4, and it will still work. If you do a manual export to .mp4, selecting baseline, it is creating the same kind of file, it just doesnt automatically resize the footage like the 'movie to ipod' export does, and it does not use the silly extension .m4v You cannot rename files created with either of the above methods to .mov because they are not .movs. You cannot make ipod compatible h264 .mov's by just using the normal 'export to quicktime' option and selecting h264 as the video codec, because this does not create baseline stuff, and so is not ipod compatible. If you want to create a .mov that works on the ipod, you have 2 options. You may avoid h264 altogether and use the older kind of mpeg4 (or 3ivx), many peopl edo this as it ensures that the video clips will play back on computers that dont have quicktime 7. If you want a .mov that is h264 and is ipod compatible, you have to export to a .mp4 file of the right sort (baseline) and then reload that mp4 into quicktime, and save it as a self-contained movie. Well I hope that maes some sense, Im a bit tired at the moment so I may have made a mistake somewhere.
