Why wont my mpeg-4 file go on my ipod?

Question

i have a 30 gb ipod video. i want to put a video on there its in mp4 format but itunes tells me it cannot play on this ipod. why is this?

Answer 1

not all the mp4 videos can add to itunes, ipod supports up to 640*480 resolutions, you need a professional third party software to convert your videos to MP4 videos,

i recommend the iSkysoft iPod Movie Converter,it's easy to operate and support free upgrade.

here is a step by step guide for you:
