Anyone have any helpful suggestions?
Open it in Quicktime and then "Export to iPod"
(I don't think you need QT Pro for this.)
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

The "Export" option is greyed out in my copy of Quicktime, so it looks like I would need the Pro version to do that.
I'll give Instant Handbrake a try today. I could have sworn I had the resolution for the video set to the proper size for the iPod, but I'm not certain.
Thanks for the help, gang!

The new iPods will actually use 640x480 files even though the screen doesn't support them. When they are displayed on a larger display it makes a big difference.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Jilli, if the video will play in iTunes, see if you have a "convert to iPod format" option under the Advanced menu.

amych, you are a genius! It worked! My shiny black iPod (which I named Renfield) is now playing the video for "Bela Lugosi's Dead". Excuse me while I cackle with glee.

Further Adventures with the Video iPod: Instant Handbrake does indeed create iPod ready videos. Still takes forever, but that's fine.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Bah. Anyone ever use the Microsoft Script Degugger (for Javascript)? It sucks donkeys compared to the one that comes with the Microsoft Development Environment....
eta: Ah, now I remember (I think). The Microsoft Script Degugger won't let me debug when I insert a 'throw new Error()' statement, but if I have the debugger open and set it to halt on a particualr line, then I can debug.
Wankers.
