Using Handbrake I transferred a few movies onto my iPod. Movie images work great. Now how do get rid of the text line in the movie?

Could be the result of you selecting a language in the sub-titles section.

Only way I know to remove them is to redo the compression.

Marty- Thanks for your comment. Lack of knowledge here.....By re-doing the compression would I use Handbrake and use the existing mp4 file and recompress it? or do I re-start the complete movie.

If you have the movie saved to your hard drive, then use that, otherwise you could try using the existing mp4 file. Just ensure the subtitles section is left empty and if it works then great. Worse comes to worse just redo the movie.

I chose english in the sub titles section, not thinking, and ended up with the text all over the iPod screen. I had the file saved to my HD so I just redid it.

You should check out iSquint, it really reduces the file size on movies and videos.

I think it reduced the file size of a movie I had compressed using Handbrake by at least 60 - 70%.
