Hi All

I have recently acquired a 5th generation 30gig Video Ipod.
Last night I happily loaded up my Itunes library and Iphoto library - sweet, no problems. (although I was surprised to see that the new Ipods dont sync using Firewire like my old 40Gigger - now it's USB 2.0) However, I encountered some issues with some video files loading onto the Ipod. Some Quicktime movies needed optimizing before they could load onto the pod, but all of my .WMV movies (that I usually view using Flip2Mac) couldn't be transferred. Anyone got any tricks that will allow a .WMV file to be played on a Video ipod?

Hi Howard,

Use this to convert them to an iPod-compatible format...

Then import the files into iTunes and update your iPod :)

(To import the files go to file-->add file to library) (in iTunes)

Cheers,
