    Have you tried restoring the ipod by using the ipod updater? Do you know if your friends iPod is updated just like yours (they both have the same firmwire version) Try completly restoring your friends iPod and then try puting the video back on.

    I hope it works. otherwise im sure Lethal_B has a answer to this.

    voodooma -

    That's because you are trying to view the video in "Music" instead of "Videos". Tell your friend to select "Videos" from the main menu on his/her iPod instead of "Music", and the video should play just fine :)
