The people who have said that they are only getting black and white by this method are correct. I tried my sony camcorder cable with my 5G ipod last night and only got a black and white picture. I tried it with a home cinema projector and a data projector, both with the same result. I don't understand this, as both the luminance (B&W) and chromiance (colour) signals are combined in a composite video signal. The display then applies filters to separate the signals out again. So either I should get a working colour picture or no picture at all. I have tried both PAL and NTSC and switched 'wide screen' on and off.

I think you need to go back down to the previous message (and replies) and follow the link posted by a guy named Mike. We had your same problem until I went to his blog and found very lucid instructions for solving the problems. -

Still no help. I am having the same problem. I am in Cambodia, and the tv show I downloaded is from the USA. Our tvs here are PAL, however, I still get Black and White picture. I've tried both. Could it be something to do with that? I tried a couple different tvs as well as a video projector. Also, I've found the picture quality to be much worse than if I play the videos on my computer. Any thoughts? I've played with all of the ipod settings (widescreen/tv on/ask, etc). Thanks! -

I'm pretty sure that your problem is NTSC played back on PAL. Switch the output video settings on your iPod.
