The H.264 mode is called AVC , you can change the file name to what
ever you like, the M4V+++++ is the MP4 file format, but the H.264 (AVC)
is called MAQ+++++
Try changing the file names to the iPod ones..
Plus they might update the PSP Video 9 for iPod, as its a nice program to
use, even used to rip a PAL DVD that I have and it played 100% on a Jap PSP..
Used DVD Decrypter to get the VOB files, funny how a so called NTSC PSP can
play a PAL Image with out any sound sync lose..
Does the iPod have NTSC/PAL options.?
The other thing you could try is the FFMPEG Flags..
