Netflix is a popular place you can find some hot movies and TV shows. If you have any problems about watching Netflix movies on iPod touch, like your iPod touch 4, there are some helpful tips for you:

Solution 1. Download and Play Netflix Videos on iPod

1. The video format is compatible with your Apple iPod. For instance, some Video Downloader saves videos in FLV which is a hot streaming format online but incompatible with iPods – iPods normally can only play videos in MOV, MP4, M4V, and special AVI.
2. The resolution, bit rate and more are proper when playing on the iPod.
3. The downloads are without DRM protection.

If the downloaded Netflix videos are DRM-free but in incompatible video formats, or improper video resolution, bit rate and more, you can use UniConverter for help. This Mac app can convert video in any hot format with ease, and provides optimized presets fro hot devices and apps including iPod, so you needn’t to set the video format, resolution and more by yourself:
