Tips & Warnings
If you’ve configured Real Player to use an iPod or iPhone device profile, it won’t copy the files to your iPod directly. Instead, it will convert videos after you select “Copy to…” and load the new videos into your iTunes library. You can use iTunes to transfer the files to your iPod as usual.
