Thanks, Lethal. I think you're right about upgrading. Everything I've read so far has been positive. One question, though. You said that rolling back to 1.0 is extremely easy. Other than doing a full restore, what other way can I roll back to an earlier firmware rev without having to re-copy all of my titles?
I just updated to 1.1.1 and indeed video seems to work fine now, prior I had reproducible problems with large video files, sound stopping etc-etc. I guess these people realised that 1.1 was ruining iPod reputation. Thanks for the tip!
Glad I've put your mind(s) at rest. Downgrading is extremely easy. + Download the latest version of iPodWizard [bold]http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=153441[/bold] + Extract & Load iPodWizard + Connect Your iPod to your PC (making sure iTunes, iPod Updater, and any other iPod applications are closed) + Click the 'Downgrade Firmware' twice. + Open the Udater you want to downgrade to. + You will be able to click 'Update' rather than just 'Restore'. + All done - you are now running the downgraded firmware with all of your iPod's media content still intact.
Thanks, Lethal! Sounds easy. I've had this v1.1.1 update on my iPod for several days now and have watched many videos. I haven't found one problem with this update. I think the extra time it took them to get it out was worth it. After their last snafu, they must have decided to thoroughly test this update. Thanks again!
