Neither Only A Hobo or I have a visual iPod. Mine's a shuffle, my partner's a larger one but still no visual. It might be an idea if you ask on the iTunes/iPod forum & then post back about their responses so it can help others who have the same query. Keep in mind there's specific sections on that forum for iPod windows, iPod for mac, iTunes for windows, iT. for mac, etc.

As I suggested earlier, all my video clips were mpg's. At least a few of those were supposed to be mpeg1 according to one program utility but I have doubts. But apparently iPod is a little more fussy than iTunes from what I can gather from the links I read from OAH.
Ah I did find this thread
http://forums.ipodlounge.com/showthr...hreadid=128658 which suggests there's already lots of threads about the topic. So follow the smell of importing videos on their forum.

Download and use Videora iPod Convertor. It's a different program than Videora (and removes most of the options that are currently confusing you with Videora).
Note that Videora iPod Convertor is a 3rd party program. If you need help with it, post your question there.
