No it was H.264. Here are the settings I used in Videora Videora ipod converter v. 2.11 (make sure you have the iPod converter as they have several different versions)
Go to settings make sure the device is iPod (should be default) for simplicity sake select the drop down profile for H.264 VGA 512kbps Stereo/128kbps (this is the level 3 or 640x480 profile) Then go over to Edit profile button to the left. This pops up the edit profile window. Rename this profile so you can tell it apart from the original. Click the video tab at the top Here you can adjust the bitrates and such for the profile. You should leave the H.264 Baseline level 3 (level 1.3 is 320x240) to the right set your resolution to 640 width and 480 height bottom left of the window is ABR or 2 pass (Leave it on ABR) Select your desired bitrate to manipulate file size. Save it and use this profile. I've used these settings and transfered the 640x480 file from itunes to my iPod, but as I said before. I have audio drift problems, you may not depending on your input file. (still working on my problem) Good luck. Rev.
