Can't sync .mp4 movies in iPod

Hello,


Can someone help me in in my problem? I have tried to add movies in my iPod but everytime I do it it keeps on failing. The movies were originally .flv and I used an external converter to change them to .mp4. When they were successfully converted, I tried playing them on Quicktime and they played well, both video and audio. I tried to add them in the playlist I created in iTunes and they were successfully added too I can also play the videos in iTunes directly. But when I tried to sync the whole playlist of movies in my iPod it doesn't copy them to my device.


There are no errors that I encounter during the sync nor adding them in the playlist. I also tried to add them 1-by-1 but still no result. Please help me I really want to watch the videos I have already in my laptop.


Thanks,

Karl

iPod touch, iOS 8.1

To what specific format did you convert them to? There are many flavors of .mp4 and not all are compatible with the iPod

iTunes: May be unable to transfer videos to iPhone, iPad, or iPod

iTunes: Frequently asked questions about viewing and syncing videos

I use the free HandBrake program since that have preset outputs specifically for iPods. iPhones and iPads.
