this list is for development of ffmpeg not user questions (well actually
i dont mind user questions but this has been discussed in the past ...)

ffmpeg has no problems with generating 640x480 videos which work on the
ipod
some versions (possibly all) of apples itunes refuse to transfer the video
to the ipod if it doesnt contain some specific UUID
and noone has posted a patch to cleanly add this UUID IIRC in our muxer
that is if it is needed at all anymore with latest apple crapware

PS: why dont you just use free (and working) software to transfer your
videos to the ipod?
