transferring movies to ipod touch

I'm trying to transfer mp4 movie via itunes. I read that Ipod touch 4th gen can read mp4 files so why does it keep writing that it cannot transfer because ipod can't read the file?.

do anyone know another way to watch movies on the ipod?

thanks.

Because the details of the mp4 format is not compatible with the iPod. There are many variations of the mp4 format. The 4G accepts these formats:

H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format

If the videos are in your iTunes Movie library, the Create iPod and iPhone Version in the Advanced tab of iTunes may convert it.
