As you may or may not know, video on NTSC is not just 30FPS but 60 frames smashed into 30 frames. (interlacing). more info can be found www.100fps.com. Well I converted a home movie i edited in imove to dv, put it in JES deinterlacer to deinterlace into 60 progssive frames. The i threw it into isquint and made a 60 FPS Mpeg4. I had to manually change the FPS in isquint. I then put the resulting video into my ipod and played the video. The video was very smooth and not choppy like normally get when i deinterlace to 30 fps.
Im saying this because apple claims 30fps is the max on the ipod, which is not true. The only bug i find is that quicktime will crash when i try to FF or REW the video.
Just a note. Most TV shows are only 30 or 24 progressive FPS, so making a video 60FPS will not make any differance. Mocies it wont make a differance at 60FPS either. This only works with home video, news, and some tv shows, here and there. Youll be supprised how muc is missing whne converting videos to mpeg4.
Have fun
