i've heard things that the new software update screws up the new iPods. i have a 30g video with the 1.0 software still on it. should i update to the 1.1, dispite the reported glitches?
Not quite. The 60GB also has double the RAM/memory/cache (whatever it's called in the iPod). The problem seems to present itself when the iPod's HD spins up to access more of the video; so the problem might be due the the firmware incorrectly managing the 60GB's larger cache.
There's a large thread about this problem on the iLounge forums:
All mine seem fine, of course I converted mine with a good converter also. Those who used "Videora" seem to be having a problem, but videora has had problems from the start. The menu - light issue is annoying. What were they thinking when they changed this?
