Video podcast won't play on iPod

I know others have had the same problem, but since I'm using Adobe Premiere Elements none of the answers have worked for me.
I'm a relative newbie producing a new video pilates podcast: http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=218657379
Feed: http://pilatescenterofbend.com/corecast.xml
Everything is working with the feed/iTunes/etc except for ipod playback.
Using the tech specs supplied by Apple I export the videos with the following settings and PE 3.0:
Video:
Apple MPEG4 compressor
Spatial quality: 50
640x480
30 fps
field order: none
square pixels
bitrate of 1 mbps
Audio
Apple lossless codec
16 bit stereo, 48 khz
Premiere elements 3.0 has an "export to ipod" option that uses the h264 encoder, but i wasn't getting good quality while limiting file sizes with that option. And the ipod tech specs say you can use .mp4 files.
I'm stumped.
Thanks in advance of any help you can offer.

I'd like to try to get it right w/ Premiere so i can
avoid the extra step of QT PRO. That would also add
another layer of compression, degrading video
quality, wouldn't it?
I'm woefully unfamiliar with Premiere. But a Google search showed me that there's an export option to iPod settings. With Final Cut Pro you can export your finished sequence using QuickTime settings, and by choosing to Export to iPod you've got a direct encode from the FCP timeline to iPod-compatible MPEG-4/H.264. Premiere seems like it can do something similar - just one step, no extra layer of compression.

  • Video podcasts won't play, cause ipod to freeze

    Hi there,
    My 5.5g ipod won't play video podcasts. I've downloaded several different ones, made sure the "TV Out" is turned off, and played with several other settings, all to no avail. When I open one from the video>video podcasts menu, the screen goes black, sometimes it says "Loading" with the little "play" arrow in the top left corner, and that's all I get. It freezes, and I have to reset.
    I've also tried restoring the ipod to factory conditions, which didn't work. The podcasts play in iTunes, so that's not the problem.
    This thread
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8969818&#8969818
    also seems to describe my problem, but I can't find a solution there.
    Anybody have any ideas for how to fix this? Thanks!

    It's up to the producers of the podcast whether they make their video podcasts iPod compatible or not. It's certainly not a requirement for an iTunes Podcast feed which is, perhaps, unfortunate. You could try sending the producer feedback but even if they take any notice it won't affect podcasts you've already downloaded. The *Make iPod compatible version* rarely works (somthing to do with whether audio & video are separate or multiplexed to start with). I suggest you download SUPER which is capable of converting almost anything to an iPod version. You have to navigate through a bunch of links before you get to the actual download, but it is there - just ignore the links to other commercial software on the way, SUPER is free.

    PS. On my current setup SUPER generates the odd error message while running but still produces a working output file...

  • Video Podcasts Won't Play under 7.3.2.6

    Just installed new itunes and quick time and numerous previously downloaded and newly downloaded video podcasts won't play. You can see the opening frame on the small screen at bottom left if you click but when you try to play, the screen goes green, purple or other color and starts to vertically roll (like old tvs used to do) with foggy images. Strangely other video podcasts (old and new)do play. One example of podcast that does not play is Photoshop Killer Tips; one that does play is Adobe Photoshop Quick Tips.
    Computer has plenty of space and has been cleaned of temporary files, defragged, etc.

    And this is when going to videos-->video podcasts, right? Do they even show up there at all?

  • IWeb video Podcast won't play music on PC and crash iTunes.

    I used iMovie to make a picture slideshow and added a mp3 file I got from a CD I own. I shared the slideshow to iWeb as a podcast with iLife06 and it built a page for it on my .Mac account web page. I published it and it went to the server flawlessly. I subscribed to the podcast on my Mac computer and it came into my playlist and played great. The problem came when I went to the website on my IBM PC. I at one time used it to hold the music for my iPod. I subscribed to the podcast, downloaded the slideshow to iTunes, and when I tried to play it on the PC I got a weird noise that would not stop. I had to control Alt Del to get it to stop. I am running the latest version of iTunes on both computers.

    ensure that you are navigating to the video
    correctly. The correct path to a video podcast on a
    5th gen ipod is /videos/video podcasts/*insert
    podcast here*. I assume that you are attempting to
    access the podcasts via /music/podcasts/*insert
    podcast here*. If you are accessing the podcasts
    through the music menu, the podcast will show up, but
    only the audio will play. If you access it through
    the video menu, both the audio and the video should
    work.

  • Video podcasts won't transfer to iPod - it's not a format issue

    I've been watching the video podcast "Wallstrip" www.wallstrip.com on my iPod. Just the other day I noticed a problem with my iPod software (v 1.2.1) and performed a restore. THAT problem was fixed (clicking play all in a list such as genre just scrolled songs but didn't play them) but now there's a NEW problem: The Wallstrip video podcast, which USED to transfer and play just fine, is now identified by iTunes as one that won't play because it's not the right format. Clearly there's a problem with the iPod. I've looked at forums and I am aware that one can manually convert it to "movies" but that's clearly not the problem. If it worked yesterday and doesn't today something's screwy. Ditto for the "Planet TV" podcast. Anyone know what to do?

    i have the same problem. several of my video podcasts have stopped transferring with the same format error which i know is incorrect.

  • Video Podcasts won't play

    Any video podcasts on my iPod will only play sound as if it were a regular song.
    Please help! I would love to be able to watch them again.
    If this helps, they stopped working after I accidentally added one show to my on-the-go play list. I have reformatted and reset to factory settings twice.

    After several reformats to factory settings it now works again. I wish I knew what was wrong though.

  • Video Podcast Won't Play

    Hi all, have a 1st gen 5G iPod 60G
    Only until these few days I (re)started to subscribe to some podcasts, including video podcasts like the new NGC World Music, NASA videos, Happy Tree Friends, etc
    They all play absolutely fine on iTunes on my mac, but when I try playing them on my iPod, they just play like normal regular podcast, NO video, an "album art" is displayed and I hear the audio, very much like listening to any music.
    All the video podcasts seem to be like that; I however can play all the TV shows that I have bought from the store.
    So how do I get to watch the video podcast??
    Thanks and cheers

    Whats the direct link to either the RSS or the video, I'll take a look? iTunes is telling me there is either a problem with the file or the type of file isnt supported.

  • Video podcasts won't play after archive and install

    I'm one of the folks having capture issues with FCP 4.5 and OS X 10.4.9. So I decided to archive and install to 10.4.8. Now it seems I'm having all kinds of video problems, including downloading and playing video podcasts in iTunes (7.2). When I download a podcast, say "Tiki Bar TV", the file downloads, but in the podcast screen, I get an error message which reads,
    "There is a problem adding the video to iTunes. The file might be corrupted, or a file type that iTunes cannot play." For the record, I have never run into anything like this before. And it's the same way with every video podcast.
    I had some similar wonkiness going on with QuickTime, too. But after I installed a divx plug-in, and flip for mac, everything seems to be okay with the QT. iTunes is still a mystery. Any ideas on what my next step should be would be appreciated.
    Thank you.

    There are files that are not brought along with Archive and Install.
    Some are invisible and not accessible without enabling "root" access and even then you have to know exactly which files have to be moved from the 'previous System' folder.
    Archive and Install never works with Apple's Pro apps.
    If Niel's suggestion doesn't work you'll have to erase your hard drive and reinstall everything making sure you first backup important data to another hard drive.

  • MPEG-3 video files won't play in iPod

    Hi everyone,
    I'm having a problem with a few of my iPod video files. They play fine in iTunes when my iPod is connected, but only the audio plays on the iPod itself. They all used to have the TV icon next to their titles, but now they don't anymore. I would reload the files, except that I mistakenly deleted them from my iTunes library. Any advice?

    You know, I misspoke when I typed MPEG-3. They're MP4 video files. I actually purchased a couple of them off of the iTunes music store. They only show up under the Music category of my iPod. Any other suggestions?

  • Video podcasts no longer play on iPod Touch

    I have a 1st Gen iPod Touch.  I have never had a problem playing anything on it.  Now when I try to sync podcasts like Terra, Photoshop User or DTown - I get a message saying iTunes can't sync them to the iPod because they can't be played on it.  Since when?  This touch has always been able to play these.  I can still show Ted Talks and MSNBC as well as various movies.

  • Videos and video podcasts won't play in iTunes

    When ever I try to play a movie from either a podcast or a TV show, it will play about 1 second, stall, the "beach-ball" appears, the audio plays for that one second of video, then repeats. I am running a G3 iMac but before I updated to 10.4 (had 10.2) and videos played normally. Just wondering if there was any way to fix it.
    (On a side note, after I updated OS X, online quicktime movies play the same way)

    Andrew, have you tried re-installing QuickTime? That might fix it. Download it from Apple:

    So you are able to sync these podcasts over to your iPod Classic?  Would you be able to post a screenshot of one of these podcast's Summary tab of its Get Info window in iTunes?  Be sure to blank out the Apple ID fields and any personal informaiton shown on this tab.

  • Video podcast that will play on the i-pod

    I have not found a video podcast that wil play on my 30GB I-pod. Can anyone recommend one so I can check this out?

    You can't just copy the slideshow to a DVD as, you've found out, that won't play on a TV. You need to use a program that will render it into DVD format, complete with the proper lead in and trailers. I use Toast to do that, however, there are other programs that can do that too.
