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?

  • 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

    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 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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:

  • 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.
    Dell Inspiron E1705   Windows XP   Adobe Premier Elements 3.0

    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 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.

  • My .MP4 video file won't "play video full screen" in Muse after I publish my .OAM out of Edge Animate.

    My .MP4 video file won't "play video full screen" in Muse after I publish my .OAM out of Edge Animate.  When I "Preview In Browser" through Edge it plays (I have created a shape and used the "play video full screen" snippet)  in full screen mode just fine.  When I "Preview Site In Browser" through Muse and click on the shape to PLAY VIDEO FULL SCREEN, it does nothing.  I am new to both programs and can't figure out why it will work out of the preview window in Edge and won't work when I publish to Muse.  Does anybody have an answer or a work-around for me?

  • Video clips won't play back after capture

    I am a long-time user of Premiere Elements, currently using version 9.0. I am capturing video clips from the same videocamera that I've used in previous versions of PE. My video clips won't play back after I capture them. The clip is in my "media" area, but when I try to play it back, the audio plays but the picture remains frozen on the starting image. What is happening?

    It is a Sony Handycam DCR-HC28, mini DV, using a firewire connection.
    Operating System is Windows XP Pro, Service Pack 3, system specs are SATA 2 RAID 1 with dual 1 TB hard drives. 4 GB RAM. As far as how fast my processor is, I looked on my invoice and it says, "Intel Core2 processor Q6600 (2.4 Ghz, 1066 FSB) with Quad Core technology and 8 MB cache, 4 GB DDR2 SDRAM at 800 MHz.
    I defragmented my hard drive before beginning and have 779 GB or 83 percent free space on hard drive.
    I have not placed my video clips on the timeline yet so don't know if there is a red line on top, indicating it hasn't been rendered. I merely wanted to play back my clip to set "in" and "out" points. This has never happened before in my long history of using Premiere Elements. Would prefer not to have to go back to PE 8, as that was a disaster.

    my podcast won't play on my ipod despite it working on my laptop. i have tried converting them using the advanced tab but that option is greyed out. its very frustrating! can anyone help?

    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 ipod won't play videos from podcasts

    my ipod plays movies and videos perfectly, but any video casts from the podcasts i subscribe to only come up as a still image, like cover art, but don't play a video. does anyone know why that would be or how to fix it? thanks for your time!

    Go to Videos on the main menu then to Video Podcasts. This should play them like videos but if you went under Music to Podcasts it just plays the audio.

  • Flash videos won't play under one id

    Hi,
      I've looked thru many of the discussion here and am drawing a blank.  I'm running Lion 10.7.1 on a MacBook Pro (older 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2G RAM) and have tried the following to get flash videos to work under my ID (e.g. NFL.com, Yahoo, YouTube).
         Repair disk permissions
         Uninstall and reinstall Flash (currently at 10.3.183.7)
         Latest software updates applied
         Reset Safari
         Also tried Opera, Firefox and Chrome and videos do not play there either.
         System settings, Firewall, System Preferences and Safari Preferences all seem the same under both ID's.
         ClamXav security shutdown
    Flash videos will not play under my ID.  Now if I switch to a guest account these same videos will play. 
    Under my ID I get the loading circle on Yahoo and nothing more.  On NFL.com I get the commercials but not the videos.
    So clearly something under my ID is blocking this but I've got no clue what this might be.
    Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

    Flash storage was not at zero so that was not it.  I'd checked those every time to make sure wasn't getting reset.
    BUT...things have taken an interesting turn.  After using 9.0 xxx versions trying to find a combination that would work on ESPN.com, NFL.com, and YouTube videos and finding that 9.0 r xxx would work on some but not all, 10 would not work on NFL.com, then finding ESPN stopped working (it had been for me previously) I started to look around a bit more.  After many installs of different versions, reboots and so on, I now have all things working.  The latest today was trying to install an older version of 9.0 r 115 as being requested by YouTube.  The .dmg file was in a zip and I started it with a terminal window.  When running that it displayed several error messages pointing to ~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia which had a couple of directories dating back to 2008.  The items there were
         #SharedObjects
         macromedia.com
         www.macromedia.com
    While I admit that I was pretty much giving up and was not as methodical about doing things as I had been previously (removing one thing, retrying, then doing the next), I ran the Flash uninstaller to remove the 9.0 r 115 verision, then removed these three directories, restarted my machine and then reinstalled the latest version of Flash.  YouTube, ESPN and NFL videos all now work.  I'm almost afraid to restart my machine.  But I appreciate the help that all have offered and I while I cannot pinpoint the correction to removing the above 3 files, that seems to have done it.  One thing to note too, was just prior to doing the above I checked the Guest account that was working on NFL.com and YouTube was not working today.  I've not checked it again after getting my primary ID working but will do so and if an issue will post back. 
    I am happy that I'm able to finally see videos on the sites that I hit!! Yay!! 
    (of course I was close to convincing my wife to allow me to buy a new Mac, but alas....) :-)
    OK - just checked the guest account and all three work there as well.  So back to a good place.
