Greg,
I'll give that a try and see the difference between the two and let
you know.

I notice in Quicktime that you can also export the file to an
option titled “Movie to iPod.” Anybody know the difference in
exporting it as a ”Movie to Mpg-4” versus “Movie to iPod?” I guess
the iPod can play either.

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
