ITunes Store .m4v videos do not play on iPod

Unable to view video downloaded from "iTunes U" store, even though it shows the format as .m4v, has right info (320x240 size etc) and plays on iTunes. Some .m4v downloaded from iTunes Store do not even copy to the iPod with the message that these cannot be played on this iPod !

    SAme thing except I created the videos but some sync and others rejected.

  • Anonymous Sep 10, 2008

    I have the exact same problem. In fact, I stumbled upon this site searching for a solution. I have a 60GB iPod classic with the latest firmware update. It plays all other videos downloaded from iTunes U, but not the ones from Stanford. I checked the video file 'info' for frame size, rate and format - everything seems to be OK.
