Does anyone know a converter that will convert a mpeg4 file to my ipod. The movie is 40 mb so im wondering if I chould get the file converted in under 60 mb? At exeptable quality?
 
you should be able to convert the video in iTunes. Just rick click on the video/movie and choose convert for iPod or iPod Touch/iPhone. It will then convert it to the best format for your iPod.

I converted a movie the other day with iTunes 8 and i got sound with it.

On a side not, I'm pretty sure that movies or music videos (songs too?) purchased on the iTunes store are the only things that can't be converted in iTunes (but they are already in the right format in the first place, so it shouldn't matter)

where did you get the movie?

choose the file you want to convert in iTunes (if it isn't there already, just drag it in from wherever it is). Then go to the top of the screen and on the menu bar, choose advanced > Create iPod or iPhone Version.

The movie is 25 mins long. Is it normal to take like an hour to convert?
 
I converted my file to mpeg and I tryed to add it to my ipod and it sayed it chould not be played.

No, you don't want mpeg, you want h264 or mpeg4. They should produce a file with an ".m4v" or ".mp4" or similar at the end of the file name, so you can tell if you have them right away.

Mpegs don't play on iPods :(.
 
Use iSquint or upgrade to VisualHub (the pay version, what i use)

they have ipod settings for video conversion.

works -
