QuickTime 7.1 works!!!!

They restored the ability to export as .mp4 with the H.264 codec and the baseline profile (not that you were prevented from doing this). This will now (again) transfer over to iPods! Also if you want you can save the resulting .mp4 file as a .mov if you want to add any fancy stuff like text tracks, chapter tracks, or href tracks.

God I wish they had fixed this when we were writing the book! I wrote up all this info and then found upon testing it that it no longer worked (it works now though).

Also, if you are using iMovie and don't care about fine-tuning the settings, you can use FILE > EXPORT > IPOD or SHARE > IPOD and you will get a pretty high bit rate .m4v file that is 320 X 240 (finally!). Again you can save this .m4v file as a .mov or you just change the file extension to .mp4 if you wish.

It's about damn time. Hopefully they won't break this in the next version of QT.

As soon as the Vloggercon program is off to the printer I'll make a tutorial for Freevlog. In the mean time, this info is valid again: http://freevlog.org/index.php/2005/11/01/initial-ipod-compatibility-tests/
