Play Videos on iPods with iPod Linux

In Make 02 we covered getting Linux on your iPod to do things like play new games, image viewing, recording high quality audio- and now it looks like we're getting video playback using a modd'ed Podzilla build. I just tried it out the new kernel, but I can't seem to get the sample video to play- I'll try more soon, let me know if you get it going Link to instructions. Update: Got it working on THREE IPODS! Here is our video.

Good afternoon,
I have installed the ipodlinux to my 30gig iPod Photo and I am amazed what this can do to my ipod. After sometime I managed to encode a whole movie and watched it on my iPod but after 13 to 14 minutes it stopped. Is this a known issue? Is there work around?

Thank very much for your time,
