Converting Video from Divx format to itunes

How do I import video in a divx format to itunes? I tried the way it says in the online instructions but i can't even import it to convert it over to itunes.

I don't have a "File > Add File to Library" command in my list in my Finder. I have not been able to get iTunes to even acknowledge that I have a .wma file to convert in any way shape or form. I know it's not protected. The demo version of EasyWMA is able to make the first 15 seconds into .mp3, and it only works with unprotected files, too. What am I missing on iTunes?

    Prior to put them to iTunes, you have to convert the video in compatible format.
    Best for that is Handbrake --> http://handbrake.fr/

    my mac is not letting me drag a video from my mac onto iTunes? i want to add a video from my mac to my iphone.

    hey joe,
    i have this problem too. i use snowfox coverter, and then i used to drag and drop or import using the drop down menu. now it's not letting me do either. so i emailed support at snowfox, they said that itunes is rejecting the conversions for some reason. they told me they're gonna issue a new release of the snowfox converter, so.. we'll see i guess. sorry i don't have a solution for ya. just wanted to let you know i'm having this problem too but it seems to be the converter i'm using. what kind of videos r u trying put into itunes?

  • Can not get a video from my PC into iTunes.

    I can't seem to get my video from my PC into iTunes, so I can play them on my iPad. I've tried adding from the library....nothing. I've tried dragging and dropping into iTunes directly from the folder....nothing. Am I over looking something? Please help.

    I have an iPad 1 and when I wanted to put a couple of movies on my iPad I found that it would not import them until I reformatted the video from the .AVI they were in to the apple MP4 format and afterward iTunes imported them and I ran the Sync to iPad function and they went right on without any problems.
    Hope this helps as Apple doesn't seem to want or care about supporting the iPad 1's. wouldn't have spent the money then if I would have know this would happen since my iPad is not quite 2 years old. I have a 5 year old Dell laptop and they still give total support for it and I paid much less for it !
    Good luck.

    Dear...
    I have a same problem in our system,and also my computer name is korean.
    Of course If I change my computer name to English, I can solve this problem.
    But is there any other solution to solve this problem except not changing computer name?
    Because our company use active directory and all employer's computer name is korean.
    So maybe changing all computer name is impossilbe.
    So I want another solution.
    Best regards....

    iMovieHD means - in Apples officiall nomenclatura - vers 5. A very, very obsolete version...
    is this really your version you're using?

  • How do I download videos from my ipod onto itunes

    how do i download videos from my ipod onto itunes?

    If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
    For all other non purchased music (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
    Enable your iPod for disk use.
    See: iPod Disk Use.
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Another free program is Pod Player.
    SharePod is also freeware.

  • Problems converting video to iPod format

    So I just finished setting up my new video iPod, new firmware, latest iTunes version, etc.
    I subscribed to several new video podcasts and they were delivered as .mov files. So I right-clicked, selected "convert to iPod" and waited.
    Everything went fine (mostly, one podcast kept telling me the file wasn't found, but I could play it in iTunes).
    But when I tried to sync any and all of the videos to the iPod, iTunes told me that it was in an unsupported format!
    Heck, I even ripped a movie to iPod format (the H.264 codec) with Instant Handbrake and iTunes doesn't like that. Or the video that I created from iPhoto.
    Reading here, it sounds like the only option to fix this is to use iSquint or one of the other converters. That's a real whip, since it sorta kills the concept of "easy updating" that is a podcast.
    Have we just written off the Apple functionality? Is there a way to make it work? Am I doing something wrong? Is there a problem with the iPod?
    Thanks!
    Jake

    I can be of minimal help. Some Video Podcasts are downloaded ready for the iPod (example: NBC Nightly News) and some are meant to be watched on the computer (Example: MacBreak).
    I personally use Quicktime Pro for converting movie files to the iPod. Quicktime Pro has an "Export for iPod" option that has, of course, worked flawlessly. The reason I say minimal help is that you'd have to purchase Quicktime Pro for $30 or whatever the cost is these days. Another advantage is that it'll play your videos fullscreen. Which isn't necessarily a good thing though depending on the video quality.
    I personally haven't converted any non-iPod Video Podcasts but this is how would probably do it. Drag it out to your Desktop; open it in Quicktime; Export for iPod and save to your Desktop; Drag the new iPod friendly Video back into iTunes. Could be a better way but that'd work and be my first attempt.

  • Converting video from FCE for 5G

    I am running FCE 3.0 and I have tried several times to export a movie using the built-in iPod video output format. iTunes accepts the movie but iTunes won't sync the video to the 5G iPod, stating it is not a compatible format. I use the following sequence: File/Export/Using Quicktime Conversion/Format pulldown: iPod (320/240). A 20 minute video takes 3+ hours to convert.
    When I export the same movie to QuickTime and use QT Pro 7.03 and export the movie I can successfully move the movie to the iPod using iTunes. Plus, the format conversion only takes about 30 minutes. I have successfully converted 4-5 movies to the iPod format and have downloaded many more from the web, so I guess that iTunes & the 5G iPod are working correctly.
    Is there a known problem w/ the FCE iPod format export function? or is there some other setting I am missing? or ....

    James,
    Thanx for the feedback. I think my problem is in my video. To make my troubleshooting proceed faster, I output only a 1 minute scene of the video using the same steps I described at the start of this thread (and as you describe). I took my 1 minute video, dropped it in to iTunes as before, connected my 5G and it synced over to the 5G. My 1:00 scene video transferred to the 5G w/o complaint. Go figure.
    Now I have to incrementally add scenes, output it and see when it balks again. Ughhh.
    If you are interested, there are some useful links in a similar thread:

  • Can I convert tracks from one format to another so that the converted tracks appear in the various playlists of the originals?

    I have a large number of tracks which I should like to convert from one format to another (aiff to Apple lossless).  These tracks are distributed in a large number of playlists.  Can I convert a track or tracks from one format to another so that the converted track appears in the playlist of the original track without going through a laborious and error-prone process of converting each track individually, determining the playlist of the original, and allocating the converted version to the playlist (or playlists, because in many cases the original track exists in more than one playlist) of the original track.

    I do not believe iTunes will do this.  The files created are essentially new media files, not regarded as replacements for old files.  There may be ways to trick iTunes if you are good at editing library files but that would be more trouble than it is worth.
    You can check the site below but I do not recall having seen such a script.

    If you're into writing Applescripts you could try it.

  • How do i convert videos from a macbook to a pc once on an external hard drive?

    A buddy gave me some videos from his macbook and i've got a PC. I gave him my external and he put them on there when i moved them from the external to my pc's hard drive and tried to play in itunes it wouldn't let me. It gave me this message and took me to download xvid. I tried xvid but it didn't seem to work. I'm trying to scour the internet trying to find a converter to be able to play them. Why is it when i gave him some videos i have it went right through to his macbook? He was able to open with no problem? Can someone please give me a program that will convert and allow me to ultimately place them on my iPhone please.
    No i cannot afford or want to buy a mac at this time. Other than that suggestions are welcome.

    Hi geek girl,
    The only way you can achieve this is by starting up the MacBook in TD mode, with the relevant disc in the Optical drive. You then have to connect the MacBook to a Tiger capable PPC based Mac, attach the external drive to the PPC based Mac and boot the PPC based Mac holding down the option key to access the Startup Manager. Then choose the OS DVD as the startup disc on the PPC based Mac (much as I mentioned in your thread in the iMac G5 forum)
    Of course, if you have a normally operating PPC based mac you can simply use it instead, without the need for the macBook at all! This trick is only useful to re-install an OS if the optical drive in the PPC based mac isn't working, but everything else is for example.
    In your case with your imac G5, though, I think you have a more serious issue, and simply getting an external drive with the right PPC OS on it isn't going to help you until it is resolved.
    Cheers

  • N97 - how to convert videos from ".flv" to ".mp4" ...

    Hi!
    I loaded a ".flv" video from the Internet to my Desktop computer, then converted it to ".mp4" format - to show it on my N97. Unfortunately, the phone only plays the audio - the video is not displayed.
    Any solutions?
    Thanks in advance.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    It seems that you hadn't changed the video frame. Use format factory app to covert the videos to your desired format. You might be having some mp4 videos that play in your device. Check the frame size of those videos and then convert the FLV files to that resolution. Hope this helps.

  • Can't get videos from my documents to Itunes! Please help!

    I've tried doing file import and it doesn't show up in Itunes. I've also tried dragging the file from my documents to itunes but that doesn't work either. The ipod I'm using is an 80g ipod video, thought I'd include that. Not sure what else I can try if someone could please help me I'd really appreciate it.
    Thanks!!

    What format are your videos on? They need to be Quick Time to go into iTunes to be played, and MPEG4 to be able to transfer to the iPod.
    I don't import the files, I use File and Add File to Library - try that.

  • Free software to convert videos to iPod format

    Is there a free software inwhich you can convert videos to an iPod format? I have a .VOB file that needs converting and I can not figure out how. Is there a feature in iTunes that will help me with this? And if there is no free software, what is the best one to purchase, there is so many options!
