  • FCE iPod format not accepted

    Posted by Bill Weller on November 27, 2005 at 1:24 am

    I’m using FCE 3.0 and trying to output my videos to the new video iPod. I’ve had no success w/ the FCE output coding, but have had success using QT7.0.3.

    I have tried several times to export a movie using the FCE built-in iPod video output format. iTunes accepts the movie but iTunes won’t sync the video to the 5G iPod, stating it is not a compatible format. I use the following sequence: File/Export/Using Quicktime Conversion/Format pulldown: iPod (320×240). A 20 minute video takes 3+ hours to convert (which seems verrry long, especially when compare to outputting the same video to other formats/codecs.)

    When I export the same movie from FCE as a QuickTime movie and use QT Pro 7.0.3 and export the movie to the iPod format I can successfully move the movie to the iPod using iTunes. Plus, the format conversion only takes about 30 minutes. I have successfully converted 4-5 movies to the iPod format and have downloaded many more from the web, so I guess that iTunes & the 5G iPod are working correctly.

    Is there a known problem w/ the FCE iPod format export function? or is there some other setting I am missing? or ….
