Greg,
I wanted to give this a REAL test so I took a Quicktime movie that was
450 meg that I had just recorded from the internet using SnapZPro. I
opened the movie in QuickTime, then Exported it to my desktop as an
mp4. Due to the size this took a long time but once done I then
imported it into iTunes and I then docked my iTouch and went into the
movie files and there it was. I clicked on it and am listening and
watching it as I type this so indeed Quicktime is all you need to get
a movie to work with iPod, iTouch or iPhone.

Greg,
I wasn't using Handbrake, I opened the file in QUICKTIME and from
there did the Export to mp4 That file is then put into an email or
iTunes. I have done this before for I kept sending video's in some
of my Daddy Mac newsletters and one of the guys ask why he couldn't
view the video on his iPhone, so I did the checking and discovered
what I was doing wrong (not converting to mp4. I did this routine,
emailed one to myself and could view the video on the iPhone.

Thanks John. I did try that without any luck. I had saved the
file to my desktop, opened Handbrake and Handbrake would not
recognize the file. I tried it in .avi, .dv and .mov format. I
played with the file in every way I could think of with no luck.
BUT I think I found the answer – at least one way to skin the cat.
I reopened the original file in iMovie and there is an option
to save the file in iPod format (see the Share menu). That saved
the file an it works like a champ.
That’s fine but what if I do not have the original movie file?
If someone sends me a QT file, what do I do? I don’t have an answer
for this one.

You may need a program called Handbrake to convert it over to be
played on Touch.....

Hi all,
Just put together a short clip of home movies. Used iMovie
and saved a
file in Quicktime format. I want to have the file on my iPod
Touch to view
(and show off the kids). I drag the Quicktime file over the
iTunes icon and
it is loaded in the movie section of iTunes. I select that movie
to be
synced with my iPod Touch. However, when syncing, I get the
message that the
file was not synced with the iPod Touch "because it cannot be
played on this
iPod."
You've got to be kidding me. An iPod Touch cannot play a QT
file?
There's got to be a way. Anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Greg
