iPod video guide

Encoding videos suitable for iPods

Thanks to “cartman” on the FreeNode IRC network for testing and providing information for this guide.

The “new” higher resolution capability of the iPod video uses something Apple have dubbed a “Low Complexity” version of the Baseline Profile of H.264. Thankfully someone discovered what this meant. (See here for details - credit goes to Tyler Loch for this information.)

At first I wondered what the use of 640×480 video on a 320×240 screen would be but I was informed that these devices have a TV out. Fun. Anyway, on to the good stuff.


1.5Mbit/s 640×480 H.264 videos (for improved quality using TV out)

• BIT_RATE <= 1500 kbps
• 640×480
• Up to 30 fps
• “Low-Complexity” H.264 Baseline Profile
  • 1 reference frame
  • Up to H.264 level 3
  • 640 pixels maximum frame width
  • Sample Aspect Ratio (SAR) must be 1:1
  • UUID atom must exist containing the following hex data: 6B 68 40 F2 5F 24 4F C5 BA 39 A5 1B CF 03 23 F3

UUID stuff:

• FFmpeg’s libavformat does not yet write this atom but I will request that it be added.
• MP4Box from the GPAC project should write the atom but the size of the atom should be 28 bytes and MP4Box files have the UUID atom as 24 bytes. I don’t know what makes up the 28 bytes but I’ve contacted Jean Le Feuvre (the GPAC guy) about this so hopefully it will be fixed in the development code shortly. In the meantime feel free to use NicMP4Box or figure out the hacked code and readd it into MP4Box. I’ve had a look at Nick’s hacks myself and they are fairly minimal.
• AtomicParsley works! But only the development code which can be checked out from their subversion repository. See below for usage.
