Videora iPod Converter
and if it doesn't support wmv, convert the wmv to avi first with something like stoik video converter.

Hi,
Are you sure your finished mp4 is within spec for the iPod?? The resolution limits for .mp4 files are 480x480 or 230400 Pixels in total, video bitrate no greater than 2500 kbps and audio no greater than 160 kbps. Try playing your file in Quicktime and choose view movie info from the menu and you can check the specs.

yes its within spec,managed to transfer in the files eventually.
