Cheers for the guide. The one issue I worry about with ipod compatible h264 is that according to apples apecs, it only supports the h264 profile called 'baseline'.
Now if I go to manually export h264 .mp4 in quicktime, in the video options section there is the following: restrict profiles to: Main Extended (greyed out) Baseline It looks to me like main is ticked by default, but in theory for ipod compatible h264 I believe you need to untick main and tick baseline. Like I said thats just in theory, as far as I know video ipods are likely available sometime between this wednesday and this saturday, according to what steve jobs said and other articles published last week. So I think we have to wait a little longer to see what the reality is. People wondering if their existing mpeg4 or h264 videos are ipod compatible should not forget to make sure their audio is the right format also. Luckily it seems most people use AAC, but theres one or 2 who use something else that wont work on the ipod.
