I'd like to build on that comment about the VLC player. I have vidoe files that were not in MP4 format from limewire, so i used videora ipod converter to convert them. now they are converted to mp4, but VLC has the needed codecs for them to play. They won't transfer into itunes because of the codecs. LOTR, is there a way to then save the files using VLC's codecs so that i can put them on my ipod?
