Hi, could you post the rest of the parameters you used when converting the vids?

MP4 @ a bitrate of +-500 kbps, audio: AAC @128, and a framerate of about 10-30 fps should play fine... Remember the resolution, it should be 320x240...

Good luck!

If you transfer video clips
using another program than Media Go™,
we recommend that you select H.264
Baseline profile video, up to QVGA at 30
fps, VBR 384 kbps (max 768 kps) with
AAC+ audio at 128 kbps (max 255 kbps),
48 kHz and stereo audio in mp4 file
format.

Remember he's on a Mac. Media Go™ and many programs like that don't support Macs, and he may not have access to a Windows computer. Even if he does, he may not be able to install anything on it.
