RE: QuickTime/iPod/H264 export mystery...

In my experience, if you use MovieExportFromProceduresToDataRef() with the iPod video component generates movies that are playable in the QuickTime player, but not syncable to an iPod. That’s kind of different than what we’re talking about here, but similarly mysterious and annoying.

Jerry,

 

As Edward says, we engineering folks would be very interested to get a bug report with specifics (ie source file, the shorter the better) for any source that does not encode a file that will not load on an iPod when you export using the iPod encoder.  This is also true for any sources when encoded with the appleTV encoder that will not play properly on apple TV  (when you get the box ;).

 

thanks,

 

Geoff

Actually, looking back, we were generating movies directly using H.264 or MPEG 4 (using the new ICM session APIs) and couldn't get them to transfer or play on the iPod - it seemed to be impossible to get the data rate low enough. We switched to rendering the movie into a file and then using the iPod converter with some success, but it was by no mean infallible.
