Q: Connecting to USB port on TV

My TV has a USB port where I can plug in my USB and play movies from fine. However, I only have a 1 gb USB and sometimes the movies are a bit larger. I tried putting these movies (the same file type etc as the other movies that worked fine) onto my ipod and connecting that. I put them on the iPod from within finder, not itunes.

However, the TV wont read any files from the iPod. The ipod screen lights up white with a do not disconnect sign, it seems to be connected fine, but the TV wont read it.

I would have thought that this wouldn't have been a problem because ipods can be used just like normal USBs. Or I am wrong? Is there something different about the USB drive functions of an ipod compared to a usb stick? Can this be fixed?

Thanks.

ibook g4, 12 inch, 512 mb ram, 1.33 GHz PPC (2005), Mac OS X (10.4.11)
