I'll try h.264. Is there any reason why that isn't the iPod standard? Seems like mp4 is more so the standard. Smaller file size and better quality should be the standard to me.

It is the standard in the sense that all of the iTunes Music Store videos use h.264. h.264 is a variant of MPEG4, though, so if you were to look at the videos in iTunes, they would…

Ahhh, makes sense. Well thanks for all of the good information man, I really appreciate it!

I had the same issue with the Pink Panther Cartoons. Handbrake took care of it all. It does batch conversions, so I can see each episode based on the time chapters (about 6 mins ea…

I got it all figured out using HandBrake finally. Works great!

Ok, so I have my iPod set to sync my address book and photo albums right now. I hate having it sync the entire music library. However, I would like it to sync a few playlists. I…

What are you afraid of? Even if it deletes something, it'll just recopy it to the iPod. It's not going to reset your ipod to the factory default or anything.

You don't need to check the "selected playlists only" box unless you have less space on your iPod than you have music in iTunes. Just let it sync. It'll be OK.

Well I'm afraid it will delete my entire library of music and videos and recopy them because it took forever to load them on in the first place, and I've since deleted all of the i…

Also, I only want it to update my playlists rather than my entire library. I don't like plugging in my iPod and then having it just take control of itself and scanning my entire l…

Yes, syncing playlists is not a bad idea. I do it myself, although that's mostly because I have way too much stuff to fit on an ipod. I'm curious about what you said about it takin…

About 2300 songs taking 10-15 minutes or so to copy. So it doesn't take "forever", but longer than I'd like to wait. I might do it though, I dunno. I just hate to lose the video…

The reason photos take a while is that they have to be converted before transfer. 10-15 minutes probably isn't an unreasonably long time for that number of songs, though. How many…

About 15 gigs of music, took me 10-15 minutes...I didn't keep track though.

Is there anyway I can delete video from my computer, but still be able to sync it to my iPod without leaving the video?

I don't think so. You can't transfer it from your computer to your iPod if it isn't still on your computer. If you have it on your iPod, delete it from your computer then try syn…

A friend just bought an iPod and he has only imported one CD into iTunes (PC). When he tries to browse by artist, it only lists the songs. When he tries to browse by album, it on…

No help?

A possible resolution would be to check to see if you have the most recent software updates for both the iPod and iTunes. Try uninstalling the version you have an re-installing it …

Why would you only want one CD on your iPod?

Two CDs and the problem goes away. Apparently, Apple doesn't think you should browse by artist if there is only one. I don't know what would have happened if the CD was by the sa…
