*****UPDATE!******* 4/3/06
It seems that the NEW firmware update 1.1.1 has finally fixed the video freezing problem. SO please try out the new update 1.1.1 before going through all the trouble of going back to 1.0. There is no real reason to upgrade to firmware 1.1 on your video ipod unless you plan on buying and using the new FM tuner. It breaks a lot of PC transcoded video content for your iPod. A lot of people are reporting broken audio or black screens on previously playable movies and shows that were transcoded by individuals with programs such as Videora. So warning!!! if you upgrade your firmware to 1.1 and it breaks a bunch of videos the only way to get them to play again is to either encode them with quicktime or DOWNGRADE your firmware. Which of course means a complete wipe and reset of the ipod. There is a huge thread on iLounge about this if you want to read for yourself http://forums.ilounge.com/showthread.php?t...ghlight=videora Useful post in that thread for those that want to downgrade and not lose their info on the ipod Downgrade without lose all the content in the ipod: Put the ipod in harddisk mode edit the file (hidden folder and file) \iPod_Control\Device\SysInfo Replace the line that have the word "buildID" with this line: buildID: 0x05908000 (6.0) run iPod Updater 2005-11-17.exe or iPod Updater 2005-10-12.exe (both have the same software version for ipod video 5th generation) iPod Updater 2005-11-17.exe can be downloaded from: http URL appldnld.m7z.net/content.info.apple.com/iPod/ww/win/061-2225.20051128.PDWnw/iPodSetup.exe Select upgrade (with this options you dont delete the songs or videos inside the ipod, if you select restore you lose all the content inside the ipod) After that, you have your IPOD with version 1.0 and you can watch your videos without a problem again Hope this can helps someone Sorry about my bad english ;-) cu -------------------- The Right Rev Chumley
