Hi All,

I've got a few video files that, on my 60Gb iPod, will suddenly freeze, and then when they resume, there is no sound. If I fast forward or rewind a little bit, I get sound back, but then it goes again after a minute or so.

Any idea what can cause this? They are 320x240 mpegs, data rate for one shows in QT Player as just a bit under 700Kbit/sec, another as just a bit over.

Thanks for any help,

Chas

Chas,
what version of the iPod firmware do you have? If it is 1.1, this is a possible symptom that others have reported. The recommended solution (for now) is to use the 1.0 firmware updater to reset your iPod (you'll have to re-load all the content) and wait until Apple releases a fix in 1.2.

If you do have 1.0 installed, have you tried rebooting your iPod? Hold down the center button and the Menu button together for a few seconds until the screen goes black and you see the Apple logo. This may help.

Hi crooner, thanks for replying.

I've just let my iPod update, so I'm at 1.1. Glad to hear it's not something _I've_ done wrong, and I'm willing to wait until a fix (hmm, so how long does it take Apple to release iPod firmware updates?)

Thanks!

Chas

had the same problem with my 60GB iPod as well after the iPod update. Was all ready to downgrade when I noticed that the one video that didn't stutter was one I had done on my computer after the upgrade. So to test an idea I redid some of the trouble video's, reimported them back into iTunes and then back into my iPod and they worked!
