I converted a personal DVD to .mov format so that I could watch it on
my ipod.  I've been able to convert files to .mov and copy them over
in the past, but this time it won't copy the file over to my Ipod.  I
can see the file in Itunes as a video file and I can play the file
within Itunes, but for some reason it won't copy over.  I've even
tried converting the file into .mp4, but it still won't work.  This if
for the video Ipod obviously.  Please help.

hi there - i'm having exactly the same problem which i noticed after i
updated my Ipod Updater to 2006-01-10 and it upgraded the OS on my
ipod.  I don't suppose you've just done the same?????

oh and i upgraded itunes to v6.0.2.23

So now i have to convert my .mov or mp4 movies to m4v format (via
itunes) and that works....but takes ages....
