I'm going to be getting a new 5.5 30GB ipod as soon as the stores around here get them in, so in the meantime, I'm preparing some files for use on there.
I have a quicktime movie which is 640x480, about 20 minutes long, and the file size is about 450 MB. In Quicktime, it plays fine. In iTunes, it's a little choppy at times, but is okay. Is this too big a file to be played on an iPod? I want to use it on the TV ultimately, so I'd rather keep it at 640x480.
I also had a smaller, 320x240 Quicktime movie I downloaded. It was only about 5 minutes long, and about 12 MB. I clicked the "Convert Selection for iPod" in the Advanced menu of iTunes, and it took its time to convert the file to an mp4. It looks the same as the .mov in iTunes, but the file size is now about 50MB.
Can .mov files even be played on iPod, or do they have to be .mp4?
Any thoughts? Thanks guys!
