| Some video podcasts will not sync to iPod 5.5 gen I have subscribed to many podcasts through iTunes, some videos as well. Things have been going along just fine, but recently, I noticed that some of my video podcasts are not showing up on my iPod. One is a new subscription that only has videos starting in January 2008, one has many episodes going way back, but the ones starting 8/1/07 don't show up (the older ones do), and one only shows episodes on the iTunes store starting in January 2008, but I had been watching previous episodes just fine (the older ones must not be on the server any more). None of these are labeled as "iPhone" "Apple TV" or anything in the iTunes store, so feel they should play on my iPod. Has anyone else seen this? Anybody got any ideas what I can do to get these episodes onto my iPod? They play just fine on my computer. Recently I took the time to "restore" my iPod thinking that might help. No dice. I then deleted the offending podcasts and re-subscribed and downloaded. Still no joy. Don't know where to go from here. As a side note, I have recently noticed some video podcasts that do make it to my iPod will show the progress (elapse time), but the screen is black (particularly earlier episodes of the one where they don’t show up starting in August). And, one more little gem -- I have a movie that I ripped from my personal DVD and put on my iPod, but now that I have restored it, I am told it is not the right format (this is one of several that I put onto the iPod). I know it did previously go onto my iPod, because I have watched part of it. I even tried using the "convert for iPod" feature in iTunes to convert it again, but no dice. Anybody know what is going on here? Thanks in advance!

| Maybe the video wasn't formatted to be viewed on an iPod?

| Well, they came from iTunes, did not say they were for iPhone, Apple TV, etc., so they should play. All of the other ones do. When I "get info" they are either quicktime files or MP4 (or is it M4P -- I never can remember). When I try to convert them via iTunes, there is no conversion offered -- so they are already formatted for iPod.
