What firmware anr you currently runing? If you don't know, on your iPod go to settings-->about. Then next to Version it will say either 1.0 or 1.1. If you have v1.1, you will have to downgrade to v1.0.

Do you have any other suggestions?

It may be a problem with the video. Does it do this with all the videos or just one?

ninma - even though your limewire videos are in mp4 format, they usually still have to be transcoded to comply with the iPod's capabilities in relation to framerate, audio & video & quality etc. Have a look at my stickied video conversion guide for info on how to convert.

Do as Lethal says and run it through a converter even if it is already mpeg4.

Which converter did you use & what settings did you apply?

I have yet to come across a video that can be transferred straight from limewire to my iPod. They need to be transcoded ;-)

Yeah, same here. Every video I've put on my iPod straight from Limewire had audio lag or other problems.

ninma - good job. The settings of your videos are critical with this device, as the video playback is extremely limited for a supposed 'Portable Media Player'.
