I've had ipod nanos for some time and have put many of my own videos on them converted by SUPER. The size is always 320x240, video bitrate of 672kbs (default) or 384kbs for lower quality, encoding H264. Audio 64kb AAC.
I recently got hold a of a second hand 30Gb video ipod (5th gen?). About half of the videos are shown too small, somehow resized with a black border all the way round.
iTunes is pointing to the same file on the drive, quicktime correctly identifies the video as 320x240. iTunes 'Get Info' has the width wrong on the video dimensions, most incorrect ones have 240x240, some even smaller.
The nano still plays it full screen even though iTunes has this wrong size (both gen of video nano). iTunes xml setting file has the correct video width of 320.
I suspect the video ipod is resizing on the fly, as the file on the harddrive is unchanged and would take considerable time for iTunes to resize it.
How can I tell iTunes the correct size for the video files?
I've tried this on PC and Mac, both have the exact same issue.
