OK as for your question, that is good. Itunes has the video and sound!
Here is how we fix this, (I hope, right? lol) do you have your Ipod set to Auto sync? You know it is on, when you cannot edit anything on your ipod, it just copies everything on Itunes!
Here is what you do if Auto-sync is on:
To turn auto sync off:
Attach Ipod.
Open Itunes
Click on you ipod icon (the little ipod picture under devices)
The third button down will say: “Manage all music and videos”
Click on the box and give it a, √
Now you HAVE to drag and drop things (music, video, etc.) in Itunes to your ipod. Itunes will not do it automatically anymore. But if your computer crashes, your Ipod will not delete all of its music if you attach it again (because there is no music on Itunes).
If you do not have sync on, write back and let me know. Auto sync is the main problem that cerate this.
As for your question about dragging files to Itunes, make sure they are MPEG-4 format (Quick-Time) or they will not drop into Itunes.
Let me know if it works. God Life

    Itunes converrts videos for ipod but then thay have no SOUND!!! Help please
    Just bought it a couple of days ago, and its doing this!!! why doed the videos now both on my ipod and itunes not have sound?

    Your source video file is probably muxed.
    Neither QT Pro or iTunes has the ability to successfully encode a muxed video file with audio. You'll end up with video and no audio.
    You'll need to use some other third-party software to do the conversion. There's a handful of software available. Just search the forums and you'll find many titles mentioned.
    Try MPEG Streamclip.

  • What is the best way to format Videos for ipod touch?

    What is the best way to format Videos for ipod touch? Used Quicktime Pro/ Export (iPhone setting). Videos aren't as crisp as downloaded Videos. Compressors /ipod video Setting also looks crapy (with bitrate med & High). What should I use?

    Visualhub is a transcoder with multiple input and output formats with specific setting for iPod,iPod touch. Costs around $19-used to work great but recently everything I convert suffers audio crash than closes out the player. Hopefully they will fix it.
    Elgato H.264 hardware transcoder is $99 dollars(USB stick that plugs in to Mac)-speeds up encoding of any file quicktime can handle, settings for apple tv, iphone/touch, ipod,Sony PSP. Worth the cost if you transcode a lot of video for the Touch or own an elgato HD tuner. Files work flawlessly and look great.
    Mpeg streamclip-free. Works great, has presets or can customize the output.

  • Converting videos for ipod trouble need help plz

    i always have to convert my videos for ipod but when i do, there is no more sound. how do i fix this?

    Julia,
    You need to format the iPod for Windows use.
    Download the iPod Updater, install this to your computer, restart the computer, run the Updater, then connect your iPod when prompted, then follow the set up procedure.

  • Converting an MPG video for ipod.. please HELP

    Hello... i'm sorry about my bad english...
    I tried many times converting videos for ipod, it allways convert them and than they become without the sound... someone can help me with that?
    Thanks
    Leo

    Quicktime or Quicktime Pro (which iTunes uses) don't convert "muxed" ( muxed means multiplexed where the audio and video are stored on the same track) video files properly. It only plays the video and not the audio.
    See:iPod plays video but not audio.
    You need a 3rd party converter to convert the file with both audio and video.

  • When I convert my Videos to iPod there is no sound when I try to play them.

    Help Please,
    I have some music videos in iTunes and I have hit the advanced button and converted the selection to iPod. It converts them so that I can put them on my iPod but there is no sound at all when the video plays on my iPod. When I do this procedure to convert the video on iTunes it pops up another copy of the video on the iTunes movie section which I am assuming is the converted video. If I click on the original video on iTunes the video will play and I hear the music. If I click on the converted version that goes to my iPod I see the video but hear no sound. I hope you guys have some help for me.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Quick Time Pro installation for Ipod videos

    I have been trying to download video files to my Ipod. I read where I needed Quick Time 7 so I downloaded it. It didn;t work. I was told I needed Quicktime 7 Pro. Bought it. When I followed instructions for converting my video files I received an error message saying my video files were not movie files. After discussing the issue with an Apple support person it looks as if I do not have Apple Quick Time 7 Pro. I followed the directions and when I open Quicktime in the control panel it has my name and unlock key and says Quicktime 7 Pro. However when I open Quick Time Player and go to ABOUT...it says Quicktime 7.0.3. How do I get what I paid for so that I can convert my video files and treansfer them to my IPod? Help!

    QT Pro is not a separate application. The Pro key unlocks the Pro capabilities that are in the free version of the Player. You should find a preset for iPod videos by loading the source files and using Export from the File menu. Note that QT will not export the sound track from muxed mpegs, like mpeg-1 or mpeg-2. QT Mpeg Limitations
    For those you will have to try some of the Windows applications that have appeared since the iPod was released. Here is the link for one of those Windows iPod exporters that should work with avi and mpeg files. It is freeware.

  • Can I tweak the bit rate for iPod video?

    I am starting to produce quite a bit of iPod video for podcasting. Some of our newer pieces are up to 2 hours long and I want to cut the bit rate back so that the files aren't so large. There does not seem to be a way to tweak the m4v parameters in Final Cut Pro or Quicktime Pro. I was able to make an mp4 video file with what a I wanted. It worked in iTunes but the iPod would not recognize it. Is there anyway to tweak the bitrate when making a video for iPod?

    Is there anyway to tweak the bitrate when making a video for iPod?To exercise the greatest amount of control, use MPEG Streamclip (free). The MPEG-4 iPod presets can be user modified to limit data rates as desired.
    I was able to make an mp4 video file with what a I wanted. It worked in iTunes but the iPod would not recognize it.The "Movie to MPEG-4" exports are limited to the 320 x 240 "Baseline" profile (up to v1.3).
    There does not seem to be a way to tweak the m4v parameters in Final Cut Pro or Quicktime Pro.The "Movie to iPod" export is adaptively pre-set for maximum "LC" (640 x 480) and "Baseline" (320 x 240) data rates. There are no manual adjustments.

  • I can hear people on call but sometimes they can't hear me, it maybe fine for afew mins but then sound drops again? Anyone have this problem and find a solution? Thanks.

    I have an Iphone 4 13.5 GB, iOS 7.1.2. Currently when I make a call or someone calls me, I can hear people on call perfectly but sometimes they can't hear me. It maybe fine for afew mins but then sound drops again? Anyone have this problem and find a solution? Thanks.

    I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

  • Exporting video for iPod - audio OK but video is "white"

    I know this issue has been raised before but I cannot find a clear resolution anywhere - happy to be pointed to the right place.
    Some time ago I converted some old VHS home movies to DVD and they play fine. To view them via AppleTV I've converted them to MP4 using H.264/AAC via MEGUI, and they work fine in iTunes on the PC and on AppleTV.
    Once they were in iTunes I tried converting them for iPod but the output is a blank white video screen though the audio is fine.
    To diagnose the problem I tried loading the MP4 version directly into Quicktime (Version 7.6.8)where the play fine. Then I tried exporting them for iPod and I get the same white screen plus audio.
    I've seen this issue dismissed as due to some form of DRM but I doubt that is the case here. The video is my own, the DVDs I created are not CSS protected and the MP4s are also unprotected.
    I've also seen it attributed to a missing codec, but that is unlikely given both iTunes and Quicktime play the videos without a hitch.
    Any clues on how to proceed?
    John

    Last post before I leave things alone for a while.
    I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and Quicktime and iTunes no longer chews up lots of CPU when trying to convert one particular Quicktime created file.
    I've also recreated each file again from the same source, the AVI encoded as DV-PAL with screen res of 720x576. I created a series of test cases to try to pin the problem down and I think the best exposition is the following -
    The problem
    An MPEG4 file exported from Quicktime loads and plays in iTunes, plays on AppleTV and can be converted for iPod.
    An almost identical MPEG4 file created by MEGUI using the x264 encoder, latest build 1649, and all the same settings as Quicktime loads and plays in iTunes, plays on AppleTV but when converted for iPod produces a file with audio but the video is "white". Looking at the file size, less than 2mb, it is pretty obvious that the video stream is simply not there.
    Clues
    Quicktime Movie Inspector reports the screen resolution of the file it exported as 720x540 while for the MEGUI created file it reports a very odd 787x576. Note that Windows Media Player and YAMB (MP4Box utility) both report this same file as 720x576 which is what I would expect as MEGUI did not resize the video. As an aside, WMP and YAMB also report the Quicktime created file as 720x540 so they agree with Quicktime on that score at least.
    Obvious Question
    Why does Quicktime report an incorrect screen resolution, and is this contributing to the conversion problem in iTunes?
    My understanding is that MPEG4 uses 16x16 macroblocks and so the dimensions of anything to be encoded must be in multiples of 16 and 787 is not a multiple of 16.
    Of course, the 787x576 screen resolution could be a red herring.
    Details from Quicktime Movie Inspector follow:

  • I purchased a video for my Video iPod but it will not download....

    About two weeks ago I purchased Lost Season 2 Episode 1 for my 60 GB iPod Video and ever since then I have been trying to get it to download and it will not work. It tells me:
    "There was an error downloading your purchased music. The disc could not be read from or written to."
    I have tried to get it about 25 times from the Check for Purchases menu in iTunes but still the same error. I wrote Apple's Help Desk and their responce was they could not help me with this problem. It makes no sense why I would purchase something, get charged, have a problem, and no one at Apple know how to help me with it. It seems pretty sad on their part no one knows what is going on. Any help on this would be very appreciated!

    I purchased a video from the Music Store, but could not get it to download. The error stated simply, "The required folder cannot be found." I wrote to Apple Support who first directed me to a tech article for MacOS even though I indicated I was on a Windows platform. After asking for Windows-specific information, they directed me to call the AppleCare tech support which "may have a fee associated with the call." Useful...not!
    I have my music stored on an Iomega REV drive. After reading some of the postings, I decided to try changing the iTunes Music folder location to my C drive (an totally standard location on a NTFS partition: My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music). This seems to have worked. The video downloaded and played. Shortly afterwards, iTunes imploded, but it restarted.
    Maybe something I've said can hint to a solution for someone else...
