[Gtkpod-questions] How to actually transfer videos with gtkpod?

[Mike <mrm...@gm...>]

My specs:  gtkpod 0.99.12, Kubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), 5th Generation iPod 30 Gig
Video (Black)

Has anyone had any success at all in transferring video podcasts onto iPods
like mine?  I have tried various versions of gtkpod-aac with no success.  I
even upgraded from Kubuntu 7.04 (Fiesty) so I could download a precompiled
version of gtkpod 0.99.12 but even that did not work.  I always have to
rename the file extensions of m4v and m4p formats to .mov format but that
usually screws up the tags so all my file names look something like
"12072007_abcnews_wnt.mov" once loaded onto the iPod.  I can't even edit the
tags because gtkpod won't let me.

I am at my wits end.  I have double checked to make sure all the libraries
are installed.  Please help me before I go crazy!

Thank you.

Mike
