I found the setting in my Ipod to turn off "Fit to screen". It was under "Videos" -> "Settings", and I had "Videos" hidden from the Menu this whole time. I am such a moron... :( Sorry for bothering you! Ack, never mind! I found the setting in my Ipod to turn off “Fit to screen”. It was under “Videos” -> “Settings”, and I had “Videos” hidden from the Menu this whole time.

I am such a moron… :(

Any wide-screened video that I convert plays well in Windows Media Player on my computer (I get a nice wide view of everything that's on screen). But when transferred into my Ipod Classic, the video fills to the top and bottom of the screen, thus cutting off part of each side of the video from view. I lose sight of quite a bit of the video because of this. I've Googled around some, but could find nothing helpful, other than some Mac programs (but I'm on Windows...) that supposedly can insert black bars (letterboxing), DVD to Ipod programs (but I'm converting from flv, avi, and mp4...), or that the black bars should show up automatically (how!?). I suspect this is not the fault of the converter(s), since the converted video itself is still wide-screened. Can you give me any suggestions as to how I can get around this problem? Please? I don't want full-screen when I should be getting wide-screen. Thank you in advance for any help that you may provide. Frustrated and confused, Monika I’m sorry, but this one problem I am having is driving me insane and I thought this might be a good place to start asking.

Operation is as simple as running the application, dragging and dropping a list of video files you want to convert onto it, and adjusting the basic video settings. You can select the video dimensions and the quality using the plain English metric provided–slow, quality or turbo, size for instance—to determine the conversion speed. If you dig into the options menu you can also tweak the process priority. The default for the application is to take advantage of idle cycles and back off when you’re actually attempting to do work. Using the fast, quality setting and leaving it on the default of idle, it took approximately one hour to convert 20 episodes of Fraggle Rock into iPod-compatible MP4 files. An unexpected bonus in such a small package is support for SRT subtitle files, if you have them for your favorite foreign media you can embed them as you convert. If you’d like more fine tuned control over your video conversions, check out the candidates in the Hive Five Best Media Converters and the Top 10 Free Video Rippers, Encoders, and Converters to fulfill your tweaking needs. iPodME [via Freeware Genius] [...] [...] iPodME is a completely portable standalone application—a GUI wrapper of the venerable ffmpeg for the curious among you.
