Why won't the podcasts from my Itunes sync onto my Ipod 5th Gen 30gb video?

Podcasts will not sync onto IPOD.

😟 Previous podcasts from a year ago, or so did, but the recent ones (i.e. Tron Legacy) will not. It tells me can't sync; some problem to do with my Itunes library. Was able to get TV episode to sync, but not the podcast. What is the deal?? In need of help!! 😕

THANKS

Error messages:

1. Some of the videos in your itunes library, including the video "Derezzed by Daft Punk", were not copied to the iPod "Ba25's iPod" because they can not be played on this iPod.

2. Five different videos (podcasts - TV and Film) were not copied because the video format is not supported by the iPod "Ba25's iPod".

I've had other podcasts sync onto my iPod from a few years ago.

Take a look at each of the suggestions in this Apple support document.

I looked at all these; so I'm thinking what do I need to do now? Am I suppose to convert anything, or download the newest Itunes+Quicktime, or something else. Still at a loss here!

I don't think you'll be able to conver the program using iTunes built in converter or any third party ones, so it might be best to contact the podcast producer and let them know that the format they are using isn't working with your particular iPod model.
