iPod Media Studio - FAQ:

---

1) Software crashes, with message it 'has encountered an error and has to shut down' and asks to send a report to Microsoft.
Most likely you have other software that conflicts with ours. Click on the Get Support button and you will be sent to a webpage that has instructions to solve this problem (solution 9 of the FAQ).

2) The video can't be copied to the iPod.
This can only be done with iTunes. Open iTunes, choose the File Menu / Add file to Library. Then connect your iPod with the cable to your PC and it will automatically sync/transfer the file to the iPod.

3) When I choose subtitles, the conversion is very slow.
Subtitles need to be rendered in the video file, this is a time-consuming process. When no subtitles are chosen, the first step can go much faster.

4) My DVD won't open, it's not recognised!
a) Restart your PC (reboot) and try again
b) Use a factory produced DVD, not a DVD(r/w)

5) I'm getting a 'cyclic redundancy error' during Step 1.
a) Your DVD disc is damaged, dirty or scratched. Please try different discs. Use factory produced discs, not DVD-r(w).
b) Your DVD drive is bad. If it makes much noise or ticks, it's not good. Try a different DVD drive.
