    Nevermind, I got it. Selected the wrong audio. I'm hoping the 6ch setting works on the iPod because thats the only one availible in English thats not directors commentary.

    Edit
    On second thought that should be fine since the audio gets converted by Videora.

    Hi i'm new here and pretty much in need of serious help. I've read tons of the posts on this thread on how to put a video onto your ipod and I've followed the steps as best as I can but I just can't get the video clips to show up on iTunes. I'd really appreciate the help. I downloaded the PQ DVD program and converted my video, which was originally mpeg. Then I went to iTunes and did the Add File to Library thing, and even shortened the name of the file like someone said, but it just won't show up and I don't know what's wrong.

    What format are you converting the mpg to? mp4 is what I'm using with success. I think that is generally the format you get with these conversion programs that say Video for Ipod as the output profile.

    Yeah i'm trying to get mp4, I'm pretty sure i converted the mpg to mp4 successfully but somehow iTunes won't recongnize it and refuses to allow it onto the ipod.

    Why thank you :) So you think it's worth it to buy the program, yeah?
    Also, does the iPod accept mp3 videos easily?

    If your audio is in sync, and you have no problems with it I say buy PQ DVD, great program very fast. Just a shame it won't work quite right on my PC.

    PS I've got Videora to work for me properly and no audio sync problems which makes me a pretty happy person. Thanks for all the help Lethal

    I just brought PQ DVD to iPod Video Converter full verison and it works great but is there a feature that will add chapters to the file you create so you can skip through the movie.

    Thanks

    Unfortunately, you cannot implement chapters to the iPod video with any softwares. Sorry :(

    If you go back onto the movie, it will in fact restart. But if you leave your iPod for about 20secs, it should go back onto the film automatically :)

    i use videora ipod converter and everything works fine, except for this one movie. i used the same settings and everything that i've always used, and it works on my ipod. so idk why this movie isn't transfering to itunes. in the folder the movie says mp4 file and everything just like all the other ones ive put on my ipod. are some files jsut not compatible with itunes or something?

    ndp699 - if you follow the guide correctly, you will end up with one large .vob file :)

    xxninaxx3 - it could just be a corrupt file. Try converting it one more time. If not, and providing you are keeping the correct settings, then I'd say you have a corrupt file there.

    hey lethal
    your whole instruction thing was amazing, thanks cos i was having trouble with it. just one thing though, at the end when you say do the rest as normal, do you go to itunes and then click import and find the file? i have done the dvd converter and then videora converter thing and saved it in Video_TS but i now have the same problem as ndp699. i have 11 VOB files on it- some nearly 1GB and the rest are IFO and BUP. does this mean i have done it wrong or should i save it somewhere else? you were a huge help, thanks
