This isn't iTunes-related: it happens as well when you try to synchronise videos with Banshee. A workaround for this is to use ffmpeg instead:
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg ffmpeg -i video.avi -b 300 -qmin 3 -qmax 5 -g 300 -ab 96000 -s 320:240 -aspect 4:3 videoforipod.mp4 As found on http://samdanielson.com/2007/11/11/convert-mythtv-video-for- ipod You'll see that this MP4-file is playable on the iPod. Tested with Banshee on an iPod Classic 5th generation, 80 GB. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/951560 Title: converted video not play in ipod touch 2g and 3g To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/arista/+bug/951560/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
