videos to ipod???

Alright i just got my 30gig ipod today and already have all my music on it without problems. Now when i goto put videos/music videos on it NONE of them work. I've tried .mov/mpeg/wmv/mpg none work. Now on the apple website it says it supports H264 but im having trouble finding a converter to convert my videos to this format. Can anyone help or am i just doing something wrong?

Thanks for anyones help.

Alright, i can get SOME video files to show up in the ipod but the video doesnt play, only audio. Could it be a resolution problem? IE, res to large for the ipod to handle??

I'm too lazy to look for you, but http://www.ilounge.com/ is an excellent resource. I'm sure they have loads of information on how to convert to that format, or how to get 'unofficial' video formats to play on the iPod.

lol, weird i have 3 windows from that site open right now. I have QTpro that you can "export to..." and an option is IPOD format, yet those still wont show video on the ipod. Really doesnt make sense to me.

Wow im an official moron. Under video options if you have TV out selected it wont show the video, just the sound. I figured it would play tv out if it was available but i was wrong.

Yeah, i laugh at it now. But i was pissed since i spent around 4-5 hours converting videos to different formats trying to get them to work when they all probably already worked in the first place.
