When I "Convert Selection For iPod" the converted file has no audio.HELP!!!

I have tried many times but the converted file always ends up with no audio.
The files I am trying to convert are just basic Windows Media Player video/movie files each under 1GB.

I have the same audio problem with .mov to .m4v conversion. The .mov conversions worked fine before, now audio is bad in .m4v - both in itunes & on ipod. I tried the sample_iTunes.mov & it is garbled too, upon conversion in itunes.
This audio problem happened once before in Quicktime when playing podcast videos on Quicktime on a different computer, then it cleared up.
I have no answers. Is it the new itunes 7.5.0.20 & windows?

"Convert Selection for iPod" Command Increases File Size?

Hello!
I'm trying to convert a file that has the following characteristics (as reported in Quicktime Pro):
Format: H.264 Decoder, 496 x 208, Millions, AAC, Stereo (L R), 44.100 kHz
FPS: 25
Data Size: 572.20 MB
Data Rate: 659.18 kbits/sec
Normal Size: 496 x 208
I know the dimensions are strange, but it's because this is just a test I'm running on a workflow using Hand Brake to bring content back from a DVD (my content).
Now, when I drop just the original file into iTunes and then try to put it on an iPod, it says it can't be played. So I use the handy new option in the Advanced menu, "Convert Selection for iPod." This yields a new file with the following characteristics:
Format: AAC, Stereo (L R), 44.100 kHz, H.264 Decoder, 640 x 268, Millions
FPS: 25
Data Size: 1.36GB
Data Rate: 1609.01 kbits/sec
Normal Size: 640 x 268
How is it that the data rate and file size have increased so much? It now plays on an iPod, but why? I was under the impression that usually the problem with getting video to play on an iPod was a data rate that is too high. So it seems strange to me that the second file works and the first doesn't.
Finally, what is the difference between a file with the extension .mov and the extension .m4v? The original file has .mov and the converted ends up with .m4v. But they have the same characteristics in terms of codec. So what's the difference?
Thanks for any help and info!

I think I was able to resolve this myself after some trial and error. It looks like it is all in the name of the file. I've gotten some files to transfer after going into the Get Info section and updating the name (usually shorten the name or take out non-letter/number/# characters and then get the filename on disk to match.

"Convert selection for iPod" "The application iTunes quit unexpectedly"

I've been trying to convert some QuickTime movie files and a MPEG-4 video file in iTunes for my iPod. It gets partway in, or fairly far in, then iTunes spontaneously quits and I get the message "The application iTunes quit unexpectedly."
What might I need to do to convert the videos successfully and stop iTunes from crashing?

"The update “iTunes” can’t be installed.
The Installer could not install some files in “/”. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."

Convert selection for ipod?

When I right click a video file in my library, "convert selection does not show up". It just says "Convert selection to AAC" (which is my importing file-type.)
How do I get it to say "convert selection for ipod"??

Like someone else said, iTunes needs to be updated.
Also, know that the option only comes up if the video is not in iPod format.

Convert Selection for Ipod help

Having just updated to the latest version of iTunes 6.0.2 for the Mac I have been attempting to the Convert Selection for iPod menu selection for video podcasts that have not already sync'd up. I have successfully converted 1 video podcast and loaded it on my iPod 5G, but have also tried unsuccessfully to the same with 4 or 5 others. When I do Get Info on the converted files it does show the .m4v file extension and when I run the video podcasts from within iTunes, it looks like it is the right size.
Has anyone else seen this and can offer a resolution?

"Convert Selection for iPod/iPhone" and Leopard Issues

I have a number of movies on my hard drive which I would like to convert for my iPhone, so I right click on them in iTunes and select "Convert Selection for iPod/iPhone." Since I upgraded to Leopard, this function has been taking an extremely long time, about 12 hours for a half hour clip. Versus when I was running Tiger, it would take about 1.5 hours. Is there a way to either fix this or allocate more resources to make my computer work faster?

Thanks for the reply, but iTunes did not create a new file. I looked in Movies and in TV Shows, and in Music just to be careful, but there is still only one file, the one that doesn't play on my iPhone. I even looked in my iTunes Music folder for a file it may have created an just not imported, but there is nothing there either.

Reinstalling itunes fixed it, Now the video has no audio in itune OR theiPod.

'Convert Selection for iPod/iPhone' makes my movies silent. Why?

When I choose the 'Convert Selection for iPod/iPhone' option so that I can put my movies on my iPod, all of the audio becomes silent. The picture is fine and only the music/words go away.
Why? And, if there's a way, how can I fix it?
(These movies are either from a camera or from friends.... 'mpg' files.)

Convert Selection For iPod--Video Problems

I've got video in iTunes, that's not the problem. I've checked, iTunes and QuickTime are both up-to-date. When I try and sync the videos to my 80gig iPod, it tells me that they can not be synced because they are not the right format. They're all .mp4 format and Apple lists that as compatible for an iPod. When I right click on the video and click on 'Convert Selection for iPod', it converts it, but I only get the audio with a blank white screen and no video. I've followed the Apple tutorial and they're video clip works when I convert it. I went to the DivX website and downloaded the newest version of it and installed everything but the DivX player. It still won't work. What should I do?

WHY does the finder insist on rearranging the files in a folder in alphabetical order even when I have selected "none" in the preferences for file organization?

WHY does the finder insist on rearranging the files and/or documents in a folder in alphabetical order even when I have selected "none" in the preferences for file organization? Even after I numbered the documents/folders to keep them in my preferred order, it will still displace them occasionally. This is becoming increasingly frustrating!
Is this a "Pages" issue or "FInder"? The vast majority of documents I use are in Pages, but there are also Numbers, PDFs, jpegs and a few other applications involved. This never happened before I upgraded to Mountain Lion; in Tiger, the documents (mostly Appleworks) and files stayed where I wanted them to be.
I am visually oriented, and prefer to arrange items in a folder in an order that makes them easier for me to access, which is often NOT alphabetical.
Can anyone suggest a solution? Please??
Thank you.

nbar,
Thank you for your reply.
However, I do not understand what you mean by "user account." I am the only user, and can find no options for "user" or "guest." The parental controls have always been off, as there are no other people who have access to my computer.
Frank,
Thank you for your reply.
All my documents, files and folders are in icon view, Arranged By: none in both view and view options. This arbitrary rearranging does not happen all the time, only when I make a substantial change to one of the documents in the file or folder. I'm not sure what you mean by "column heading."
MichaelLAX,
Thank you for your reply.
I know, to my sorrow, that Appleworks does not work with Mountain Lion. I spent at least three months converting approximately 2,000 Appleworks documents to Pages, Numbers, Bento (for databases) and Touchdraw (for drawings). So this is not the problem; but as I said, I did not have this rearranging problem with Appleworks - the icons stayed where I wanted them to be. I still miss the ease and reliability of Appleworks, darn it!
Frank,
Thank you for your second reply.
I do have the Sort By: in view options as well as in view set to "none." The finder still insists on rearranging, but only when I have made a substantial change to a document in that file or folder.
Any futher thoughts?
xdab,
Thank you for your reply.
"Are you are using icon view, but for some reason the finder moves files around? is that the problem?"
YES!! This is exactly the problem.
"If this operation is successful then erase the original and rename the new one to the name originally chosen by the user."
This seems like a lot of trouble, especially as I often work on several documents at the same time.
"By the way, the finder has a "clean up by" menu that rearranges icons in one of the standard orders, there are shortcuts that produce the same effect, for example <option><cmd>1 sorts them by name. Is it possible that this shortcut was typed by mistake without you noticing?"
I do know about this "clean up by" option, and avoid it like the plague! So I doubt this is the issue, and I infrequently use keyboard shortcuts like this anyway.
Thanks all who replied. None of the suggestions seem to work, however. Any others out there?
Regards,
Sara

I get a message "The Itunes server could not be contacted, check your internet connection" when trying to check for Ipod Nano software updates. I have a 1st generation Nano and haven't updated the software for a while. My internet connection is working. Was thre a change in the internet address for NANO software updates? Do I have to reconfigure something in Itunes to point to the correct address?

What version of iTunes are you using? The latest is 10.6.3. In iTunes, choose Help -> About iTunes to check the version number. If it's lower than 10.6.3, download the latest version from here.
