Hi Johnathan,

I am using the settings you describe and have videos in MP4 format but when syncing through iTunes, it says the format is unsupported on my iPad. I then converted them to M4V (on my convertor, it states this is the Apple TV format which should work) but I still get these errors. Strangely some videos are transferred and others are not.
