itunes won't let me put a video on my ipod touch. i converted the video and when i drag it on to itune it says video was not copied because this video can't be played on this ipod. anyone know whats going on

what format is the video in?

You have to convert it to the right format with the right settings.. the resolution, frame rate, bit rate, audio format, etc... check the Ipot tech specs for the right settings....

what if I downloaded the movie from Itunes? it should be in the right format.

I have the same challenge. I have the video in the Movie Library. I right click on it and press Convert to ipod format it comes back and says it is in the correct format. It is in mp4 format. It will not synch to movies. I have dl free tv shows from itunes and they are fine. I just cannot get any videos to the touch. Music and photos work fine.

TIA for any hints.

That's one of the shortcomings (for me, that is) of iTunes. I've subscribed to several video podcasts only to find out they could play in iTunes but not sync to the iPod. For these, I ended up converting the video podcast in iTunes to make it iPod compatible. When this is done, the video shows up in the movie folder.

I haven't found an easy solution to your problem. What I have done in the past is re-encode the video to video and audio bit rate settings I know are compatible with the iPod. Just because it is MP4 doesn't guarantee compatibiity with the iPod.

ya i had same problem, i used videora to convert my video to mp4 but still doesnt work! i hate friggin itunes, its the biggest piece of shit ever! where do i find/does anyone know what are the exact specifications for videos?
