Does anyone know of any linux software that will convert mpeg/avi to m4v (quicktime) format?
I just bought a new video ipod and would like to get some movies on there. I have them in mpeg and avi format.
Gtkpod will allow me to put m4v format video clips onto my ipod. Is there any software to convert into m4v, or any software that will put other formats onto the video ipod, thx.
PS: mp3 and cover art sync works perfect in amarok
With all the plugins, just about everything. Now, one thing I found out. If you are transcoding to x264, do not stop the process. If you stop it early, or try to view it prior to finishing, the video is unviewable. You must let the encoder finish.

Thanks for the tip, Pete! Patience is key when transcoding to x264. I'll make sure to let the encoder finish to ensure a viewable video. Cheers for the advice!
