Hello,

I've tried a lot of different programs to convert avi files to ipod format but it doesn't work. With all the programs I get a error message and the converting process ends.

At the moment I'm trying with quicktime. Tho I didn't get the video to work with quicktime, it played but it was all black, it seems to work to convert it at least. don't know if I'll get any picture tho

Any ideas?
Downloaded divx and xvid codecs for quicktime. I use Windows

Free iPod Video Converter, very easy to use (presets), dummy proof for guy like me: Free iPod Video Converter - Free software downloads and reviews - CNET Download.com

don't work

I'm a Linux user and use WinFF (winff - Google Code). There is a Windows version, as well.

I had just used this to test on my soon-to-be-sold 30GB iPod Video - worked fine for me in Ubuntu.

I am partial to the video converter that comes with Nero.

A lot of people also like videora, but I don't have much luck with it.

I think erightsoft's Super@ video converter now has iphone and ipod video settings.

The last two are free.

Videora is the only one that I've used and it worked very well with no snags. I've only used it for DVD concerts.

Try PSP Video 9 (freeware). I don't have an ipod, but converted MPEG4 files is said to work perfectly fine on them, PSPs and Walkmans. In fact videos I made work on my Nokia E51, PSP and Walkman.

This is also a great prog, highly recommended by quite a few people. I, personally, use the video converter that came w/my D2 JetAudio JetVideo converter).

Videora is perfect for the job. It is free and friendly and consistent.

It also conforms to the H.264 format which allows you to put videos on a Blackberry:

You mean you have tried a lot of different programs?
In fact, I can't find out the exact problem, either.
I don't know whether this program Pavtube Video Converter can solve you problem. It is used to convert variouse videos such as AVI, WMV, MOV, MPEG, etc. to other video formats compatible with digital devices including iPod, Zune, iPhone, Apple TV, PSP, Creative Zen, Pocket PC, Mobile Phone, Xbox 360, PDA, etc.
However, it's not free.
I prefer it as its after-sale service is good. When encoutering problems, you can send your question to there support center to get help via email.

second or third for ff programmes. great great apps. used for windows, linux and osx and loved all them. they are more complicated but you can tailor to whatever you want!

 

[pata2001]

Use Handbrake.
Or even easier, get a Cowon A3/O2.

 

[craiglester]

I second Handbrake.. and read the help files, use 2 pass encoding and enjoy

 

[shigzeo]

right, handbrake! haha. does that run on windows? had no idea but that is a great app. ffmegx (i think is the one i was talking about) is great but not nearly as smooth to run as handbrake. great app
