Martin, I had downloaded the smaller file, but its quite blurry on the ipod. The 256k one is quite acceptable. Oh the joy of being able to watch Matt and Daniel perform on an ipod! cheers, Susan.

Try H.264 codec and see if that helps. I have had great success with this encoding of files for very small file sizes. Only problem I have encountered is no QT 7 for windows until just recently. Still a bit dodgy but works and the fullscreen issue of QT7 if not pro, but VLC does offer an alternative as does mplayer. Also H.264 can be extended from original file size whilst watching without loss of quality as an older Mpeg4 codec goes pixelated.

Quicktime Media Link has improved dramatically with QT7 and use of H. 264, put file somewhere and tell page where it hides and .qtl which is an xml offering all sorts of control over files downloads and plays relative Quicktime file.

VideoiPod is supposed to support H.264, so would be interested in findings?

Cheers!
