    Updated the program, the HowTo, and the Wiki.

    Thank you!

    Thanks for the heads up!

    Edit: It uses cpdvd, as well. I added the apt-get install in the scripts, as well.

    vobcopy and cpdvd are installed in both the baseinstall and install scripts.

    Thanks Iandafor!

    Another edit: Added a question dialog asking if you would like to delete the VOB...again, thanks to Iandafor

    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)

    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.

    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:

    Code:
    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.
    And after a while everything is fine
    (the "a long time" part is greatly exaggerated
    "Windows is something to overcome"

    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 time

    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!

    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 $300

    Your howto was useful for me to get the latest version of GTKPod running though... the older one was a bit buggy.

    Re: HowTo: Encode Video for iPod Video

    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!
