Hi there guys, I like your product, I've used several different packages and yours has some nice features!

But that aside I am having issues with getting converted videos into Itunes. I've had this going on for about 5 days now. I used to have no issues doing this at all back in the spring but I am now getting ready for my new Ipod Touch and getting some videos queued up for it when it arrives this week and I can't get them into Itunes!

It's been largely hit or miss between this product and CuCu soft's product. Sometimes Videora converter comes through, sometimes theirs does. And it's completely random I can redo the same file 4 times overand magically it will work that 4th time. It took me two days to get 1 season of Venture brothers and 6 WPT TV episodes converted and added into the Itunes library. Now doing movies it appears that my success rate is 0%. I've tried several times with no luck. Here is my log file, hopefully you can let me know what's wrong.

And to answer a few questions up front. Yes the file plays in Windows Media Player, no manually adding the file doesn't work and it also doesn't seem to matter if it's H.265 or regular MP4 though I've to date had better luck with MP4. HELP!!

I'm going to take a guess... the autoresize is putting out 480x270. I'm thinking 480x272 might be better.

Looking at the log closely myself I was thinking the same thing but not being all that up on it I'm still left wondering. I did try the VGA conversion of the movie and that file does import into Itunes (yay). So I right click and say convert for Ipod use and it does it but the resultant file doesn't really play properly, it sticks in various spots and the video just doesn't keep up with the audio. I can right click the source file and play it in WMP and it plays like a dream. If I play the source file in Itunes it does the same thing, though no were near as worse.

I'm thinking QT is the culprit here, people always talk trash about MS's software but I tell you, it's the only stuff working properly right now.

I guess my question is, even if it's not playing properly through Itunes, when it gets on my touch (hopefully tomorrow or Wed, AM) will it play properly? Cause I don't care if I can play it on my system, this is strictly for mobility.

And thanks for the reply!
