Chris, I'm excited to see that some of the iPod settings have been put into nuvexport. However, it's disabled because it says "Your ffmpeg installation doesn't support encoding to mov file formats." I've configured ffmpeg to build with x264, isn't that the proper format? Any other ideas?
Also, I wanted to add this... just because I think it could be relavent to making sure that anything encoded for the video iPod meets the correct standards: http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/the-complete-guide-to-ipod-video-formats-and-display-resolutions/ Quote: Apple publicly says that the iPod has the following video limitations: H.264 MPEG-4 Maximum Resolution 320x240 480x480 Maximum Bitrate 768 kbps 2500 kbps Maximum Framerate 30 fps 30 fps However, the company has actually simplified the iPod's real limitations to make them easier for people to understand. Many users have discovered that while the bitrate limits above appear to be absolute, the resolutions are not. Rather, they observed that the equivalent number of total pixels appeared to be the practical limit for both H.264 and MPEG-4 - 76,800 and 230,400, respectively. Like Apple's own numbers, these pixel limits are useful and simple ways to make sure your files run properly, but these numbers are not technically correct, either. Rather, the correct limit can be stated as follows: For H.264, you're allowed 300 square blocks of pixels (called "macroblocks"), 16 pixels on a side. For MPEG-4, you're allowed 900. The widely-published "total pixel limits" for H.264 and MPEG-4 will indeed work in most cases, but not always, and macroblocks yield the right numbers. For example, an MPEG-4 video of dimensions 725 x 315 has less than 230,400 pixels, but 920 macroblocks. Such a file would be incompatible with the iPod. For reference, here are a few resolutions that satisfy the maximum macroblock limits at various video aspect ratios: H.264 480x160 432x176 400x192 368x208 336x224 320x240 - ideal 288x256 272x272 MPEG-4 784x288 752x304 720x320 672x336 640x352 624x368 592x384 576x400 480x480 -ideal Thanks!
