iPod conversion failure - VLC 0.9.9

[nojjynb]

I'm attempting to convert an xvid avi file to mp4 for playback on my 5th Gen iPod Video using VLC 0.9.9 (other options are not currently available to me).

Here is my process:
Load VLC
Media -> Convert/Save
Select file -> Covert / Save
Check File -> Choose filename
Profile = IPod(mp4/aac)
Generated stream output string =

Code: Select all

:sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,vb=800,scale=1,acodec=mp4a,ab=128,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=mp4,dst=D:\test.mp4}}

Save

The error that comes up is

Streaming / Transcoding failed:
VLC could not open the encoder.

VLC then proceeds to transcode only the audio.

VLC is able to PLAY this video file just fine.
The resultant .mp4 is not playable.

Any thoughts?

I have the same problem using the mp4 codec
Is there a solution ??
