   There might be something with your parameter settings.Please go to Output Settings mode to lower the video resolution and audio bitrate.In theory,if the video resolution is not higher than 640*480 and audio bitrate is not higher than 128kbps,there won’t be any problems occurring to you. If the above solution still can’t work,you either contact us for technical support or use File Management embedded in the program to upload the files to your iPod.
