Very much welcome. Anything to help a "friend" .Originally Posted by endersshadow

No problem, I'm glad you wrote this guide. I have a question that perhaps you can answer. Should a video encoded in this manner be transferrable to the ipod through itunes in windows? (I skipped the mpeg4ip and gtkpod step, since I don't own an ipod and the person I am encoding for doesn't run linux)Originally Posted by endersshadow
Perhaps I did something wrong, and maybe it doesn't help that I have to first transcode from rmvb using mencoder to something that ffmpeg can transcode. But quicktime won't play it and itunes won't transfer it to the ipod. Maybe I'll have to get the ipod here and hook it up to gtkpod
In theory, it should work...but I don't know, I don't have a Windows computer at my disposal.Originally Posted by pestilence4hr
But note that gtkpod will not recognize an iTunesDB that was created with iTunes...gtkpod still has a ways to go in development before it's totally interoperable...unfortunately

Well, I regularly use iTunes as well as GTKPod, but all I get from GTKPod after using iTunes is this:Originally Posted by endersshadow
And after a while everything is fineCode:iTunesDB '/media/ipod/iPod_Control/iTunes/iTunesDB' does not match checksum in extended information file '/media/ipod/iPod_Control/iTunes/iTunesDB.ext' gtkpod will try to match the information using MD5 checksums. This may take a long time.
(the "a long time" part is greatly exaggerated

Howto's by me:
Tweak firefox! (URL now works..)
Backup/Restore your system!
Avoid having to reboot

It's cracking an MD5 sum...which...in many cases, does take a long timeOriginally Posted by Heliode

Doesn't even take a minute on my PC. The only thing GTKpod screws up for me is the top-25 most played list, which it fills with whatever I last copied onto the pod...

Cool! This is good info to know, thank you!Originally Posted by Heliode
Heliode, could you perhaps test the uploading of videos encoded by ffmpeg in Ubuntu using iTunes in Windows?

Don't have an iPod Video, just an iPod Photo. And I don't feel like ponying up another $300Originally Posted by endersshadow
Your howto was useful for me to get the latest version of GTKPod running though... the older one was a bit buggy.

Have follwed the howto and I get the app in my menu and all seems to work but it doesn't make videos!
I looked into the config log and was told that libgopd was not found.
So I downloaded libgpod.
Cant configure it: het this message:
checking for XML:arser... configure: error: XML:arser perl module is required for intltool
Help!
