I need a little heads up if possible.
I'm storing kids movies on a 160GB iPod classic to hook up to the car headrests whilst on the move.
Quality is great, I usually use freemake or handbrake at standard 5GEN IPod settings.
However, now and again I need to output to HDTV and, obviously, quality is poor assuming I get the ratio correct.
Most of the time I output the movie using different settings and iTunes won't transfer to the iPod because it tells me the format is unsupported.
I'm struggling to know what settings to use that will play on the iPod and not look too bad [I'm not after perfection] on the HDTV.
I believe the iPod is 320x240 but having tried to convert to 640x480 it played great on the iPod and looked much better on the HDTV but was only one third of the TV screen, i.e. huge black bars above and below.
Some brief pointers of what I should be trying would be appreciated.
I guess I need to know the happy medium between the iPod's 320x240 and my 16:9 TV?
Thanks,
Will
