This feature seems to be meant to be used to convert an already compressed quicktime movie to a format that is compatible with the iPod. If you take DV video from iMovie or FCP and use the Movie to iPod feature it will mess up the aspect ratio of your video.

You can do that but there are lots of factors what will make or break compatibility. > I've read a lot about how the iPod preset does > wonders for file size...

Don't know. Maybe the most compatible settings that work on the iPod and play in Quicktime 6 are the ones at Freevlog - use the iMovie tutorial at http://freevlog.org/#compress That will make a decent file that will play in QT 6, 7 and on the iPod. You should also be able to add any other features of qt that you want - poster frames, text tracks, href tracks, chapter tracks, etc. -Verdi ------------------------ Yahoo!
