    I cant put a few 6min videos on my ipod that i DLed from limewire. Can you guys just put a few of your method steps so i can follow them? I tryed 3 of my methods. 2 of which normaly work. The 3rd almost like destroyed my Ipod, lol.

    File info:
    They all range from 3-6min. (exept one which is 6 secs.)

    I want to put them under music vidoes (they are not, but i dont feel like creating a new folder when i dont use the music video folder :) The music video flder is now my random $!&# folder! )

    2 are in MPEG and the rest in MPG. ( i think both are exepted formats for the Ipod)
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    Just give me a few more methods to try. It sounds like me to skip an easy step.

    There's no such thing as 'stupid', just lack of knowledge & information ;-)

    Try reducing the length of the name of the video to something really short (maybe a five-letter word), and then try importing it. (*note you can always change the tag back to it's correct name once you have imported :)

    That should be the solution. It's a common problem with Videos transcoded using third party applications.
