I encoded a movie for my Ipod with 1.266 pro using H.264

[iPod Classic & ITouch 16:9 Viewing H.264 (640x360) 764Kbs]
vCodec=IPOD_H264
muxFormat=MP4
hSize=640
vSize=360
vMaxrate=1500
vBitrate=700
gopSize=300
aCodec=aac
aBitrate=64
AudioAmplify=1.5
ivtc=1
passes=1
bframes=0
cmdline="-aspect 1:1 -loop 1 -deblockalpha 0 -deblockbeta 0 -parti4x4 1 -partp8x8 1 -partb8x8 1 -refs 1 -subq 1 -brdo 1 -me_range 21 -chroma 1 -slice 2 -level 30 -keyint_min 30 -sc_threshold 40 -qcomp 0.7 -cmp 1"

The resulting video wouldn't play on my ipod until I used NicMP4Box on it. I shouldn't have to do this should I? It was my understanding from the changelog that DVDRB should do it automatically.

I did upgrade to 1.266 using the installer.

Argghhh. Good catch... it appears I didn't add the detection portion correctly. You can fix it by adding the following line to the "[Paths]" area of your REBUILDER.INI file. It assumes a standard "English" installation -- just change it to your path if that isn't the case:

[Paths]
NicMP4Box=C:\Program Files\DVD-RB Pro\Encoders\FFMPEG\NicMP4Box.exe

I'll fix it for the next version so it defaults to that location.
