Hi,

Great!

If your format is definitely H.264, 640x480 and you have actually seen
it working on a video iPod then I'm interested in your settings ... if
you don't mind sharing! Or point me towards the video and I'll try it
myself.

Without wanting to sound patronising: It is possible that you've put
out a 640x480 that is generic MPEG-4, not H.264.
