Capturing to ipod video format with TV-tuner?

[Clumsy]

Hi, I just bought an iPod video and I wonder if there is any way I can capture directly to an iPod video format. I have an ATI TV-Wonder card, but I cannot find any programs that will let me record to a compatible format. With Ati MMC, I can record to MPEG 4 format which is supposed to be compatible with the iPod video, but it doesn't work. Does anyone know with which program I can capture to a compatible iPod video format? Thanks.

Has anyone been able to do this?

I have ATI AIW 9800 pro, waiting to get my iPod to see if it works.

You'll need to specify what the iPod video format is first, then someone may be able to tell you how to do it.

iPod supports MPEG 4 & H.264 . I know that ATI Media Center has Mpeg4 support, but not sure if it will work with new iPod.

MMC 8.9 will encode to H 261 and H 263 but not 264 (not on my machine anyway). Maybe I don't have a codec installed but I don't see why it can't do it.

I was just wondering if anyone was able to do it. Using H264 or Mpeg4? It sounds like it should work, but I haven't seen anyone say that it works.

Bump, wondering the same thing. Looks like the output file is labeled with a .avi, but it is a mpeg4 file. The only thing I think would not be compatible would maybe be the audio, IPOD wants it in MP3 or AAC format. Has any yet figured out how to get this to work?

http://hauppauge.com/wing/index.html Hauppauge has issued a software add on for their PVR cards. I don't use it though, preferring to record in MPEG2 and trans-code with Videora iPod Converter . As I type this, I am trying out Super, which also claims to do it. Videora, on this laptop, trans-codes slightly faster than real time. Don't know about Super yet.
