Why doesn't my converted video play in iTunes but on my iPad?

Hey folks,
I most recently converted my AVI DVD Backups to comply with my iTunes / iPad / iPhone environment.
One of the TV Shows ("Arrested Development" if anyone cares) shows some kind of awkward behavior:
Device
Sync / add to Library
Plays
iTunes
yes
no
iPhone 4
yes
yes
iPad 1
yes
yes
The files doesn't seem to be corrupt, as they play perfectly fine on VLC, but when I launch them in iTunes the Video window opens in the correct size, but remains black. Even if I stream the movies through home sharing to other iOS devices it plays fine. I used iFlicks to convert the files.
File metrics:
Thanks

please guys, any Idea?

    Why doesn't my imbedded video play on iPad?

    Is it running flash? Because the iPad 2 does not run flash. Or it could be a bug in the embeded video. Run the debugger and see if that helps. Good luck :-)

  • Video plays in iTunes, but won't show on ipod

    I'm a first time poster since I'm usually able to figure out what to do by looking in the archives first. However I haven't seen this yet. I successfully converted some home video and imported them into iTunes. Here's the kicker...only one of the movies loaded to my ipod. I have the options on my ipod set to automatically update so I'm not sure why only one would load.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    If your movies play in iTunes but not on iPod... right-click the video file in your iTunes Library and click "Convert Selection for iPod" this will convert your movie to the proper format that iPod can handle.
    Hope I helped.

  • Music video plays in itunes but not on ipod

    hi
    like my subject line states, i transferred a whole bunch of music videos off of dvd into mp4 format using videora.
    they play in itunes but not on my ipod.
    i transferred about 400 or so at the same time to ipod do you think that's why most of them won't play ?
    should i do it one by one ?
    thanks.

    it's more than just the mp4 format. They need to be encoded correctly with the right dimensions and other attributes as well. I don't bother with this sort of thing right now. If there is anyone who has these specs, just post them here. Otherwise, you can always google them or search these boards for the proper format/size/encoding.

  • Convert Video files in iTunes but no Audio after converting

    Hy, do somebody know what is the matter if i want convert Video files in iTunes (8.01) but after converting the files don't have any audio but i can see the movie perfect in iTunes and on ATV ????

    Your likely using muxed video such as mpeg1/mpeg2, which is capable of being played back in QT (with the QT mpeg2 playback component in the case of mpeg2 source video) but not able to be converted.
    I could well guess which software you should use to undertake your conversions but it would be better if you could provide details of our source video so that we can suggest an appropriate workflow based on that information.
    You can use the Inspector window in QT to see this information.

  • Video plays in iTunes but not Apple TV.

    I'm having trouble with playing movies on Apple TV. I had a video that I converted to mpeg4 format. 640x384, 1138kbps total bitrate, 23 frames/sec. I can play it in iTunes and in quicktime but not through Apple TV. It just perpetually loads...
    I can play any of my music from the same home shared computer on my Apple TV with no noticeably loading time. The total file size of the movie is 785MB.
    Does anyone know why this can't play on Apple TV and if there's something else I need to be doing?

    Google and download Handbrake, and convert the video for AppleTV format.  Not everything that plays in itunes or QT plays on AppleTV.
    There are many variants of MPEG4 and parameters that can make AppleTV fail to play it.  Best to convert to the h264 variant which Handbrake will do by default using the AppleTV preset (don't use preset 2 for a silver AppleTV 1).
    Vieo specs for AppleTV are listed here:

  • Mpeg video plays in iTunes, but no audio on iPod

    I have a 10 minute video that plays fine in iTunes 7.0.1.8 on Widows XP. I did the "Convert Selection for iPod", which then allowed me to download the video.
    However, when I play the video on the iPod, there is no sound.
    The article "iPod plays video but not audio of some exported files" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302588
    describes this same condition, and attributes it to "muxed audio".
    The suggestion to do "Show Movie Info" in Quicktime Player did not confirm the format as "MPEG1 Muxed" or "MPEG2 Muxed". Instead the Format field has ", 25971 x 28257, unknown" - kind of an unsatisfactory description.
    The video file plays fine in Qucktime Player, it plays fine in iTunes - but it has lost all audio on the iPod.
    Does anybody have a fix for this?

    First, make sure you are running the most recent update on your iPod.
    Second, what are you using to convert your video? Have you tried purchasing any of the videos from iTunes? Do they work okay??

  • Video plays in iTunes, but no audio.

    I've installed the latest greatest software for iTunes and Quicktime. Music Videos play video, but I get no audio. Audio files playback, but sound choppy. Running Win2000.
    Any ideas?

  • Why can't I stream videos from my iTunes to my appletv/ipad anymore?

    I have updated all the software to the latest versions on all the devices, but recently I am unable to stream any of my videos from my iTunes library under the "computers" app.  I have a MacBook Pro, appletv hd, and ipad 3, and I could only play videos on iTunes on my MacBook.  Songs are also unable to play, it will play a snippet, stop then play another tiny bit, sort of like its streaming extremely slow.  It won't stream hd or sd videos.  I've tried resetting the modem/router, restoring the appletv, and nothing seems to work.  Also, the weird thing is that i am able to stream to my xbox videos and music without any trouble, i only get the problem trying to stream to other apple products.   Any help will be greatly appreciated!

    Dont know if i made it clear in the previous post, but it used to work with no problem, it's just recently that this has begun to be a problem.  could it be the latest updates that are causing the problem?  the only thing ive been doing differently is i've begun transfering my dvd collection to digital copies to stream through itunes.  the digital files are ones that itunes recognizes and worked before.  is it possible to have a library that is too large and slows down the streaming?  i tried using airplay last night, with the same results, the loading wheel just spins forever.  the AppleTV can find the itunes library, and all the files on it, but they just dont play. 

  • Why can some mp4s can be played in iTunes but not on a iPhone

    I'm currently using an iPhone 3S, and I am unable to transfer my MP4s onto my iPhone using iTunes for PC.
    When importing into iTunes, everything runs smoothly... And it even is able to play it.
    But when it comes to transfering the files onto my iPhone, it does not copy over.
    Dragging it into the device's file list (manual syncing) and syncing it with the wizards (automatic syncing), it does not go over.
    (That means ticked in the sync wizard or dragging it into the list of videos on the iPod)
    This problem persists even over different devices (a iPhone 4 and a iPod Touch).

    hellow devil_doc,
    don't know, if you found your answer yet, but this is what I did to solve the problem.
    I'm using windows forgot to mention.
    1. once you connect your ipod, iphone, etc. to itunes, go to books, and search book title.
    2. Highlight all the parts of the book, right click get info.
    3. check mark album artist and album  and press ok.
    I try to to artist, album artist, and album, but it did not 100% of the time, so just stuck with album artist and album.
    Hope this helps.

  • Why doesn't my mp4 video play from an HTML5 Course?

    I have an online course that consists of 6 slides.  4 of those slides are for delivering streaming video from a Flash Streaming Server. Per our LMS Solution Provider, I have modified the streaming path names so they point to the mp4 files on the streaming server.  I have the same online course that is published as HTML/SWF to SCORM2004.  That version of the course has the video place holders pointing to the same directories on the Flash Streaming Server, except the stream path/name points to the FLV video files.  That course plays just fine.  I have a Flash Streaming Server test tool from my LMS Provider that I can use to test the mp4 video files to ensure they stream properly.  I have tested the stream names that point to the mp4 files using that tool and the video file stream just fine.  When I launch the same course from our LMS using the content that was published in Captivate 6 as HTML5 to AICC specs, the course launches but the mp4 video files do not play. Keep in mind that they are set to stream and not download.  I can advance thru the slides using a playbar, but the video will not play.  Is anyone else having this kind of problem? Any ideas on where I can look?

    I have tried Google Chrome ver. 26.0.1410.43 m.  I have also tried in IE 9. It is my understanding that these are HTML5 compliant.  Since posting this question, I saw some additional information in a different area of the Adobe Forums that suggests that it is not possible to stream MP4 Video from an Adobe Captivate 6 course that is published to HTML5. It was not real clear in the way it was stated, but it seemed to imply that you can embed MP4 video but you cannot stream MP4 video using RTMP from a Flash Streaming Server.  I am now trying to get someone to confirm that statement from the Adobe Captivate 6 Team. I assume that the Captivate 6 Team monitors this forum.

    Hi eversonjm,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  If you are out of authorizations but only have 1 computer, deauthorizing all computers and reauthorizing your correct computer might be a good idea.  See this article for instructions:
    iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1420
    If after deauthorizing and reauthorizing your computer, you are still not authorized for the 96 songs, this article has some steps for seeing the account name that was used to purchase a song, in the event that a different account may have been used:

    There wasn't an answer, just a question.  If you can provide a little detail around what's actually happening, and more about the environment (e.g. what model computer, its configuration, etc) it'll help people provide a solution .
