Playing video on ipod(and yes i did search for this)

Question

Okay well i converted my video files to MP4 format and most of em go on to itunes fine then when i put them on my ipod(it is an ipod video) i go to videos and play them and the sound is messed up. Like you can hear it then not and goes on and off the whole video. I have checked and the settings match the settings that the ipod can do. So just seeing if any one can fix this problem cause it sorta dystroys the purpose of the movies.
btw i am using this program called PQ DVD. Its a good program for converting videos but i dont know if its affecting the sound at all. I think its the i pod because all the videos are working with full sound on itunes.
I guess ill just try to redo the movies if anyone can help please do.
thanks

Answer 1

The ability of ITunes to play your file and your IPOD playing them are totally different. One uses software and the other hardware to play the file. Your answer to your problem will be on PQ DVD 's web site, not this one. Just because the setting say they are correct does not mean that the file it produces is correct. A lot can go wrong during the encoding phase. Check the completed file. Does it meet specs for MPEG4? Purchase a video from ITUNes and see if that plays okay. That will tell you for sure if your IPOD is messed up or not.
