Well today I decided to experiment with getting a higher res. video on my ipod video, but having little luck. I've put a lot of my favorite DVDs on my video ipod using h.264 in a 320x240 resolution without a problem. I decided to try converting some DVDs using a 720x480 resolution also using the same h.264 settings I used for the lower res. videos, but I'm having problems. I try to drag the files over to my ipod and nothing happens. I try with the lower res. files and no problems at all. I'm assuming itunes won't allow any sort of larger resolution files to get transferred to the ipod since the ipod itself can't output higher resolution files. I can import the higher resolution files to my hard drive library without a problem. Can anybody confirm this? Maybe I'm just doing something wrong. Aren't the movies that can be downloaded from the itunes store higher resolution than 320x240?
I should point out that the reason I was experimenting with this is so that I could potentially play higher res. files from the ipod on my 26" LCD in my bedroom to watch my movies and higher resolution podcasts. The 320x240 lower resolution videos look pretty bad when scaled up to full screen on the 26" TV. If it's not possible then I'll just forget about it, but if there's a way I'd definitely be interested.
Thanks!
