The iPod cannot play the sorenson codec. H.264 and MP4 only.

Sorenson exports direct to MP4 and this is the first I have heard of it not being compatible...what is the problem..the program itself? The presets?
Thanks for the info...

Sorenson can be converted into mp4 and H.264. Any QT supported codec can. Just export into an iPod compatible format and you're on. But sorenson will not play on an iPod.

He's not talking about the sorenson codecs, he's talking about the "Sorenson Squeeze" software. That software can output mpeg-4. He's asking for the mp4 setting that will be playable on the ipod.

K, so i played with Sorenson a bit tonight and I have these settings (whihc looks pretty good on the iPod):
Stream Type: Non-Streaming (Non-Hinted)
Audio:
Codec: Coding Technologies aac
Sample Size: 16
Sample Rate: 48000
Channels: Stereo
Video:
Codec: Sorenson MPEG4 Pro
Method: Sorenson 2-Pass VBR
Data Rate: 1600
Frame Size: 320 x 240
Frame Rate: 29.97
It takes a while for it to export, but it's not too painful considering some of the other options I tried. It was taking me about 2x the lenght of the video to compress (from mpeg2 ), but it looks really good on the iPod. I really don't know much about these settings, it was more of a (educated) guess and check. Others feel free to correct me if I made a boo boo, or if you have any ideas of how to speed it up wihtout sacraficing too much quality.

1600 is really overkill for 320 x 240 resolution. You could probably go as low as 400 and not see a significant difference, although I would advise you to do some testing to see what the best balance between file size and quality is.

and 48k sample rate is too high for audio. Make that 44.1k. You won't hear the difference at all.
