So I got a bunch of videos i got off of youtube ..however only certain vidoes are "catching on" my ipod video. I have the automatically sync option up and checked (and synched many times) however some videos are just not catching for some reason.

They are all mp4's and when I try to convert to "Apple Tv" version it says I cannot because they are already in the correct format.

Anything Im doing worng?? The Jacksons Jill Jones and Ciara are WAITING for me to watch

I am having the same problem and I never collected that many videos in the first place.

I think the iPod format for video is too specific or something.

Videos for iPod, or even AppleTV, can only be certain bitrate or lower, or it won't play it.

There are video converters that will re-rip the mp4 or FLV into Apple TV, iPod or iPad friendly bitrates.

Here's one:

You can search for others. I also use WinX HD Video Converter Deluxe to convert most anything to play on my AppleTV.

oh i get it now...especially the ones that are in "hd"...so I will just download them at the "normal" rate instead of "best available" and see what happens.

If that does not work i will go ahead and get that hd converter
