Alright so lately I have taken to mediafork and started converting my DVD library to mpeg4 files so I can play them in iTunes and eventually through an appleTV or mac mini through an LCD. My problem here, ill try to best desrcibe it, is that when I rip a DVD using mediafork, I put it into iTunes, then go to imdb.com, save the cover, get info on the file, and add that image as the cover, OK? Well that works fine, but I have about 4 movies (or did) that I got from a freind that were already ripped as an .avi file. I then used VisualHub to convert them to .mp4 and they worked fine, UNTIL I added them to iTunes and tried to do anything. change the file name, change the cover, etc... iTunes would just freeze up and I would have to force quit, then next time I tried to view the movie, it is just all green, has no sound, and wont play in divx player, itunes, or quicktime pro...?!?!? Has anyone else had this problem? If so how can I fix it? Is it possible I need to change some settings in Visual Hub?

Please help, Thanks.... Mike
