My new ipod nano plays videos but there is no sound, why?

My new iPod nano that plays videos has no sound going along with them. It's not a problem with the iPod, (I don't think) because the sound won't play on iTunes either, yet my music in playing just fine both on my ipod nano and in itunes. I dragged and dropped the video into itunes then I converted the video then used the convert selection for ipod. Why is there no sound? Is there something I am doing wrong? My 30gb ipod did worked just fine when I did it that way but my new ipod nano won't. Is there something else I have to do before I can watch and listen to videos?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

QuickTime expects video files with separate video and audio tracks, but many MPEG formats used a muxed (multiplexed) single track that contains both. Therefore, iTunes & the iPod (both of which use QuickTime) only show the video and no sound.

One way to work around this is to use MPEG Streamclip to convert the files to fix this issue...

MY I POD PLAYS VIDEOS BUT THERE ISNT ANY SOUND aNY IDEAS ON HOW TO FIX?

HOW DO YOU GET SOUND TO PLAY ON VIDEO CLIPS?

Quicktime, Quicktime Pro and iTunes 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.
Videora is one, and there are others.

Search the iPod video forum for other recommendations, but beware of spammers trying to sell you their own product.
And may we ask you to turn off your caps lock? It's considered shouting.

I got a new iPod nano 7th gen., but when I tried downloading a video from my iTunes library a message popped up that said: Some of the videos in your iTunes library cannot be copied to your iPod because they cannot be played on this iPod.

I got a new iPod nano 7th gen, but when i tried downloading a video from my iTunes library a message popped up that said: Soem of the videos in your iTunes library were not copied to yor iPod because they cannot be played on this iPod. What should I do?

I kept having a similar problem - 3 out of the 10 videos I had on iTunes wouldn't sync. They were in the right format and I KNEW they worked on my iPod because I'd RECORDED them on my iPod. I finally figured out what to do! Go to the movies in your iTunes library. Click on one that does not sync. Click on "Advanced" at the top of iTunes and choose "Create iPod or iPhone version". Once that's finished, be sure you delete the old version so you don't keep getting the error (or have 2 copies of the same video) and sync. This should eliminate the problem. At least it did for me!

IPod Nano playing Videos?

I know about iPod Linux...that's a risk I wn't take. Is it possible apple could release and iPod updater allowing the Nano to play videos? I'm getting a Nano for my birthday and i'm learing everything I can.

Apple, in my opinion, will probably release something similar to the mini, but the odds of FUTURE nanos playing video isn't bad, as many others have small video players; But I don't think iPod updater will ever let the current gen nano play videos.

New Ipod Nano on Itunes but won't import songs

I just plugged my son's brand new Ipod Nano into Itunes and it appeared on the left side as David's Ipod but when I went to import songs from my library it won't allow me to do it. It has a circle with a line through it anytime I attempt to drag a song on to it. I have two other Ipods (nano and mini) and never had this happen. I installed the software that came with it before this happened. It also says something like Ipod can't be upgraded because playlists no longer exist...When I first plugged it in the Itunes said that the library was too large for the nano and that it could select the songs for me. When I said yes it started downloading all these songs from the library (songs my son didn't want). I managed to stop it by having everything deleted off the nano but now I can't import anything. Help!!! Thanks

I actually have the windows XP and not ME if that makes a difference

ITunes 7 and new iPod not playing video

OK here's my other problem:
I have a new iPod, and have downloaded iTunes 7 and Tiger.
I've downloaded a video from iTunes (Michael Jackson's Thriler).
But when I double click on it in 'purchased', it won't play. Nothing happens, no icon, nothing.
Then when I restarted I got a message after iPod syncing that said 'Thriller' not transferred because iPod cannot play it'.
Any idea why?! I thought that's what I paid for...!

I am having a similar problem. I downloaded a song from iTunes a few minutes ago, but when I went to listen it, only part of the song plays. The song is abut 2:50 in length, but skips to another song in the playlist at about 1:30. It seems to pick the song it skips to rather randomly, fwiw!
Can I try downloading the song again, or will iTunes charge me for it a second time?

OS 10.7.2

Can 6th gen Ipod Nano play video on Precor Treadmill?

Many gyms offer Apple connectors on their machines like treadmills and elipticals. I've connected my IPad and watched video, but it's impractical on a treadmill, both due to size and too much vibration.
So, I'm considering the purchase of an Ipod Nano. I know that the 6th gen device lacks video support, but can you load video files onto the device via ITunes and then play the videos on the machines at the gym?
Our gym has two main models of treadmills:
Precor 885, and
Matrix 7XE, which also has Nike+ support for Ipods.
Please let me know which Ipod Nano is best for my needs.

The 5th Generation can do video, or the iPod Touch or iPod Classic. The 6th Generation Nano won't work for your needs.

Please help : new ipod nano : songs loaded but don't play=(

I have managed to load songs onto the ipod.
It did play a couple of times but since then when you go to play any song the screen comes up with an apple symbol. Please help. I hope this isn't a dumb question.

See if these help.
iPod shows only an Apple logo and doesn't start up.
Only the Apple logo appears when turned on.

ITunes sees my iPod Nano 7th Gen, but there is no "On This iPod" tab to acces and manage what is on my iPod.

Ever since I used the pedometer there is a "Nike + iPod" tab but no "On This iPod" tab. I can't get in to delete or add media.

In case anyone has this problem, customer support enlightened me to "ctl + S" to bing up a side bar onthe left that now allows me to manage my iPod in iTunes.

Is it true that Ipod Nano Plays Videos Now?

I've hear about it but I'm not sure if its true. If so, has it been released in the U.S? If so, how much?
Thank You!

they can but you'll haft to hack it which i don't advise because i broke mine by trying to hack it but if you do want to try go to http://ipodlinux.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5281

Just bought a brand new ipod nano and downloaded an audiobook borrowed from the local library. The book is there and playing but, I cannot hear anything. What am I doing wrong?

Does the same file play normally in iTunes? Do other audiobooks play normally on the iPod?
How does "borrowing" work? Does it require use of another app, other than iTunes, to get it on the iPod?
