[Pkg-gtkpod-devel] Videos

[Ron Parish]

Good morning, everyone:

My name is Pastor Ron Parish, and I'm a happy user of "gtkpod".  I have
one of the new iPod Classic 80GB models, and it's now working very well
in Linux, thanks to the developers at "gtkpod".

I have tried to upload several video podcasts gotten through Miro or
just a download link, but the error message is always the same. 
Following is one example:
Import of
'/home/ron/Videos/Wild-Chronicles/pc74_Hawksbill_Sea_Turtles.mp4'
failed: m4a/m4p/m4b not supported without the mp4v2 library. You must
compile the gtkpod source together with the mp4v2 library.
The following track could not be processed (filetype is known but
analysis failed):
'/home/ron/Videos/Wild-Chronicles/pc74_Hawksbill_Sea_Turtles.mp4'

Is there a way to get a version that will allow the uploading of videos
in this manner?  I am very new to the whole iPod thing, along with
downloading videos.  Should I just convert what I download to some other
format in order to upload them to my iPod?

Thanks for your time and effort.

Sincerely,

Pastor Ron Parish
