Downloading media monkey now to see if that helps.

EDIT: Is it because they are .avi's that it's not working?

I'm not sure how much mediamonkey will help with encoding files ready for the touch, since i don't have one, but for everything audio, once configured to how you like its basically the best jukebox software you can get

It might just be they've knobbed it, seems I can't add any new movies since i upgraded to 7.4

I think 7.6 is the latest, but i cant be bothered with the gigantic update download to try and see if it fixes it.

edit - all the ones there were Mpeg 4 though, so using Davey's utility is probably the best bet, I don't recall ever needing to do that before though tbh.

You're right, I ended up using a program called ipodme or something, and it's ace. A small program that re-encodes the files for use with an ipod and keeps the original. Takes about 20 minutes for a 40minute tv show. So I now have videos on my ipod

Now need to get hold of photoshop elements to transfer photos over.

Was it easy to "update"? Any problems with it?
