That's cool. I may have to come back to MM... I had dropped it because I couldn't get it to behave how I want it to.

Yeah, me too. If you do come back to MM, please post your experiences syncing your iPod ...thanks.

For what it's worth, the latest version of MM3 (3.0.2.1132) appears to be able to sync iPods without wiping out the stored videos. Either that or I did something magical with my MM3 settings.

Do you have directory to ignore set to *.mp4

I have not. Very frustrating experience because I want MM3 to work with my 5.5g ipod, but I'm not having any luck with keeping video podcasts organized properly on the ipod menu.

What do others do?

OK, my impression from reading the announcement of the B4 release is that B4 might work better with MP4s when it comes to syncing iPod Videos. Here was my experience.

After installing B4, I had it sync my iPod Video, which already contained music and movies. After it was done syncing, I checked my iPod Video, and all of the MP4 videos were gone, but an M4V video was still there. (The MP4s were probably listed within the "confirm delete" list, but there were a lot of MP3s in there also so probably the MP4s were at the bottom of the list and I didn't see them).

I checked the Auto-Conversion tab's "Supported formats on device" and saw that MP4 was listed, but not M4V. Ah ha, so all I need to do is remove MP4 from the supported format list, and MM3 will ignore MP4s and not remove them, right?

So I put my MP4s back on my iPod using iTunes, removed MP4 from the supported format list in MM3, and did a resync ... the "confirm delete" list pops up showing all my MP4s. So, we're back to Square One (if we ever left it).

Has anyone figured out how to get MM3 to play nice with iPod Videos? Thanks.

I can see that as a temporary solution, but the real solution should be for MediaMonkey to sync .mp4 files correctly. Maybe similar to Winamp: specify which directories contain audio files, and which contain video files, then sync accordingly.

What the heck, is this thing called MediaMonkey, or MusicMonkey?

No, it wasn't done yet, but it's on our to-do list, so hopefully very soon...

Was this done for MediaMonkey 3.0 Beta 1 (3.0.0.1069)? I'm not having any luck, but maybe I'm missing some configuration trick or something ....

This will be most likely somehow resolved in the next release.
