Hope this new post works better than the last one I re-cycled...

Did you encode the videos with ffmpeg? If yes, then show your command
and the complete console output. Otherwise we have to make guesses with
little information to work with.


Here's the FFMPEG code line I use;

ffmpeg -i Rowing.mp4 -vcodec libx264 -preset medium -vpre ipod320 -crf
24 -acodec libfaac -aq 100  -vf scale="320:trunc(ow/a/2)*2" ROWING.mp4


That's a pretty fancy looking code line isn't it?  Don't get me wrong- I
have no idea what I'm doing- I got the line of code from FakeOutdoorsman
on the Ubuntu forum.  He has been extremely helpful.  I've tried
COUNTLESS code lines that are all over web about "how to convert a video
so it fits on an iPod....and....for me...none of them ever work.

The version of FFMPEG I'm using is;
