Hi Bruce - back to pick up this thread.

Not a silly question; I tried it: iTunes said that file (a .mov file) was
not supported on this iPod (prob. All iPods). I did try an .m4v version I
made with Handbrake (which was still 42+ Mb in size) which took immediately.

I think "compression" is used quite loosely in this scenario, and "they"
really mean "encoded".
Best regards,
Dana
