Will not Add to Library

[viceroy_fizzelbottom]

Hi
I've tried to add a converted file to iTunes and for some reason it will just not go in. I've followed all the info in the sticky but it still won't work. The original file plays fine in Media Player. Can anyone help?

Here's what was on the console:

Try a profile with the word "AVISynth" in the name.

Thanks but it didn't work. Here's the console log from the conversion:

Is there anything that I'm doing wrong or is the file just unable to play on iPod?
Thanks for helping!

[msopnet]

You can try using AVS Maker (below). It should convert exactly how it "Previews" in AVS Maker. Instructions are in the help file - it should not be unconvertable.

It might also be worth trying a MPEG-4 AVISynth profile and see if there's any difference.

Thanks for the help! That worked great I think I'll try using AVS Maker more often with other files that won't convert. Thanks again for all your help!
