The link, or the program?

Make sure your iPod is set so it updates the new stuff, and that it only updates all checked items. Once you make sure your iPod is set like that, add the video(s) to your library. Right click your iPod on iTunes, then click update. From there, it should update the video(s) onto your iPod.


If that doesn't seem to be doing anything, check your iPod under videos then look in all the catagories. Sometimes the video file(s) get set as other things (instead of "movie" or "music video"). I believe the default setting is "Movie"

Right. Because I want to choose the songs on my iPod If I do it your way, it adds all the unwanted songs. Which is annoying. :s

Well, you can just un-check the songs that you don't want. It'll take a few minutes, but it works out in the end

Ya see why isnt mine not this easy? It just doesnt work when i click start!

Make sure your output is a correct file...If you used a different folder, try using the default folder

I use Xilisoft Video Converter (Here's the link for all you lazy poosticks) and it's very easy to use.

Just add your file, select iPod Video form the drop-down list, and press 'Encode'.

After it's done, you open the folder in which it was copied into and drag the video to your iTunes library or the iPod playlist. x]

Hope that helps!
