ffmpegx and iPod Video

A while back I posted about ffmpegx on the Mac and how you could use it to convert movies you download to a format the iPod could play. Well many people haven’t been able to setup ffmpegx correctly and the videos are coming out messed up. So here is my preset file with the right settings. [ipodvideo.ffx]

    Hmm – I installed the software and loaded your setup file; I converted a VOB saved off a DVD but the output when viewed on ipod is breaking up visually – unwatchable….any ideas? Thanks.
