I've converted this one video 4 times now and every time i convert it, it is added to the itunes library and i can view it but it does not transfer to my ipod. I've used different profiles to convert it but none of them have worked. Also whenever i try to find the video on my hard drive all i find is an icon calling it a file that has no size. I looked at the info of the video in itunes and i was at the right location for the video, which itunes says is over 500 MB, but it wasn't there. Here is a log from one of the conversions if it helps...

If anyone could give me a tip or suggestion that would be great.

Everything looks fairly normal. Your converted file should be located in:

C:\Documents and Settings\Cody\My Documents\Converted Videos\iPod\H264\Larry the Cable Guy.mp4

Try not using the default locations for the converted files. Create your own folder somewhere outside of that Microsoft nightmare called "Documents and Settings". To change where the converter writes it's files go to Settings/Devices. Change both the mpge-4 and h.264 settings and click the save converter settings button.

that still didn't work... I switched the output folder to the C: Drive and all i have is an icon calling it an unknown file. Any other ideas??

I finally got it to work... All i had to do was keep the title the same as it was before the conversion and it worked fine...
