I used to be able to play QuickTime videos on my iPod perfectly fine. Ever since a few months ago, though, it stopped working. I don't know if it's just the site I'm using (break.com) or if it's my iPod. Whenever I see the box with the circle and triangle, the circle has a line through it and won't let me play it. Is there anyway to fix this?? It really bugs me.
Most of my videos are mp4 or m4v, and are easily viewable so long as the video is no more than 320 pixels wide. Without knowing exactly what format you're having a problem with, I'm sure that compressing them to a smaller size will give you back your videos - or at least most of them.
I compress them with the free iSquint, though other utilities will also work, of course.
I'm sorry, but after reading and rereading your post, it appears you failed to read the title to my question. If you had read it, you would have understood that there was no compression going on. I was not downloading videos to my iPod and using the video app, I was using the Safari app. www.break.com is a site similar to Youtube, and it's videos are displayed I believe using QuickTime. Recently I have not been able to view these videos while using the Safari app on my iPod for a reason unknown to me. It is not just one video in particular, it is every video on their site. Even the older videos I had once been able to watch are unavailiable. Where a grey box with a play symbol in the middle is shown, the play symbol has a line through it, similar to what you might find on a 'Do Not Enter' sign on a road, but with a triangle in the middle of the circle. Is there any way to fix this issue with the Safari app on my iPod Touch gen 2?
