Alright so i just got a 30 gb 5.5 gen ipod today and i was trying to put some limewire videos on, but they were in quicktime format so they didn't work. So i looked around and found this program that converts them to mpeg-4 video files, and they still won't go on.

It says that it wasn't sent to the Ipod because it cannot be played on this ipod. any help would be awesome. thanks

no idea if this will help, but try making a playlist, and then putting the videos/podcasts in the playlist, and updating. then on your ipod, look for the playlist instead the videos, and see if they are there.

okay i might have figured it out. i looked at the info for the movies that worked and all the bit rates are over 100 kbps? I don't know what the fuck that means, but could that be it?
