I have not used Export to iPod either, for the same reason. My custom settings have worked fine for 320x240; it's the change to 640x480 that is the problem. In short, in QT Pro you can't do a customised file at these dimensions that will work on the iPod - because it requires the use of the "baseline low-complexity" profile which cannot be manually selected and it only comes into play automatically when using the non-configurable iPod exporter.
I think when you say "all my videos sync to iPod" you are _not_ talking about 640x480 as detailed above. Try exporting one of your custom files in 640x480 and see for yourself.
