30 GB Ipod Video audio problems

I have had my 30 gb Ipod since Christmas 2005 and a couple of weeks ago it started acting funny. I started getting alot of static in my headphones at first and, then starting yesterday I get no sound at all. I have tried several pairs of headphones and still no sound. I have also tried playing my ipod in my ihome alarm clock dock and still get no sound. I even restored my Ipod but nothing seems to help. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Looks like it may be an issue that requires service.
You can arrange online service here.

Or if an Apple store is near you, take it there and have them check your iPod.

IPod Video/Audio problems

I have just encountered the very same problem. I have a 60Gb iPod video and have spent days converting a lot of my videos (mostly Japanese Anime) to iPod. They all worked perfectly on last week. However, last night I started watching an episode and after about 30 seconds the video freezes. It starts again about 5 seconds later, but with no sound. If I rewind or fast forward a bit, the sound comes back, but it freezes again shortly after. I started to think "what have I done to the iPod since last week?". It was then that I remembered updating the firmware to 1.1. I put 2 and 2 together and thought "maybe other folk are having this problem too", so I decided to check the support page here.
I am far from happy about re-encoding over 250 episodes of Anime, so ideally, I want the ability to re-install 1.0 firmware on the iPod. Surely this must be possible! If anyone can provide a link to the 1.0 Updater or to more information on this subject... that would be great, cos right now, my iPod is pretty much... useless!
Thanks

Ipod Video has problems with umlaut in calendar

Can anybody here confirm that the ipod video has problems displaying umlauts (i.e ä) in the calendar, if the umlaut is the last characters of the summary. If the umlaut is in the middle of a word, it is displayed correctly.
The summary of the ics file is encoded as Quoted-Printable.
Here is a sample line:
SUMMARY;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Polterabend=20wal=E4
Saddly, I didn't find a contact form or email-address of apple... So, does anybody know, how to inform apple about the problem?

IPod video & audio not syncronizing...

Hi there,
I bought my new iPod video 30GB from US recently and I have problem when I convert and upload video song to ipod. When I play the video song, the video and audio doesnt match/syncronize (i.e; audio sound can be heard after 2-3 seconds when the video song is played)
Please can anyone help me how do I solve this? I have been using professional version of Quick time player to convert the video songs.
Waiting for your reply soon...
Thanks

Not sure where you got this video that you converted, but 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, and this may be the issue.
You need a 3rd party converter to convert the file with both audio and video.
Videora is one, and there are others.

IPod video audio plug,

Hey there,
So after having used my iPod video 30GB from the first generation video's for 10 months I found a problem.
Since 3 days I use a Senheiser HD555 which gives me fabulous sounds, but since today it seems like the audio in on the iPod moved a bit, so none of my headphone's can connect succesfully anymore.
(Senheiser PX30 and normal apple earphone's)
I can hear sound from the left speaker on the earphone's, and the right if I push down the plug from the earphone a bit, or move it to the left, right whatever.
But it cant stay fit in the plug in so I can't hear stereo sound.
It seems very clear to me that the audio plufg in either moved a bit, or more likely sunk down a bit in the iPod.
My question is, How often does this happen? And how could it be fixed? Can Apple or even myself make it?
I have no idea how it happend, I came back from fitness listening music, I wanted to walk to the supermarket with my iPod on and I heared the problem.
All it did was giving itself power in the iPod dock.
Kind Regards,
Jim Brands.

IPod video/audio help

I would like to know why my iPod video doesn't have any audio when I play videos. I use the itunes converter to transfer the video but the audio just doesnt work. Can someone help me please and let me know how do deal with the problem?

The language and subtiles have to be changed to match the video you are downloading. I use IVideoToGo and it has that option under properties. You have to change the language to "English" and the Subtitles to "English" or whatever language is indicated on the case of the movie. You have to do it for each movie manually because it is defaulted to "none".

IPod Video Known Problems?

Hi all,
I've had a series of issues with my iPod Photo that have caused me to return it in favour of an iPod video. However, I am a little disenchanted with iPod and want to be fully informed before swapping products.
What are COMMON PROBLEMS with the iPod video, and what should I be aware of?
Also, what kind of videos does it play?
Windows XP

Thanks! I know that by posting here, the replies will be biased, but that's okay. I really do want to hear the horror stories, because I've had one with my current iPod.
Some 60GB iPods with video have video playback
problems. This should be resolved by a software
update in the future.
Could you elaborate on this? It sort of raises red flags in my mind.
I saw the stats on the video playback but appreciate that you have posted them, although perhaps I should have been more clear in my question.
What about ripped/downloaded videos? (Or does it not matter, so long as they are in the correct format?)

Video audio problems

The problem I am having is that i capture my video/audio by fire wire using a PV-GS250 panasonic camcorder and a firepod that I record audio with. The problem comes in that it seems over time the two aren't sinced. I line up the to and match up the sounds. Say at 1 minute in. Then I go to 1 hour our and the audios are off from each others. I turned off auto save in premiere. Went in msconfig and turned off several things that where starting up. Both audios are 16 bit 48, one is mono and the other stereo. Using Windows Vista sp1. 4 gigs ram, 8700 video with 512 ram, processor intel core 2 xtreme x9000 @ 2.8ghz. I don't have any drop frames and can't find anything wrong. Help, thanks Dave..

The problem is that audio device manufacturers, for some reason that I'm sure would be entirely illogical, can't seem to make devices that record at the same exact rate as DV cameras. I don't know why they can't do this. DV camera makers build cameras that keep sync with each other all the time. I can find no theoretical reason why audio device makers can't build recorders that also keep sync with DV cameras, except that they're just not trying.
So it's not your fault, Dave. The only thing you can do is adjust the speed of the audio clip to match. With my equipment, the adjustment turns out to be 100.04%, so it's a very small shift. No one will ever notice any pitch difference.

Video audio problem when import to premiere CS4

I have a file encode by flash media live encoder and I try to edit in premiere CS4 but when I import the file the video audio is not synchronised. The recorded file play run good in adobe media player. Any sugestions? Thanks in advance.

Going back a bit over a year, there was a thread on this forum, where the OP needed to use the Flash Live Recorder, as there were both streaming material from lectures and then edited material to go up on their intranet Web site for later viewing. That poster had similar issues with the live material, IIRC.
I am certain that this thread was after the forum change over, so should still be on the servers. Wish that I could recall more details, but in the end, the OP found resolution to the problem. I know that I participated, but from the side lines. Seems that there was even footage of a rock performance involved in the feed and I edited the FLV material on my PrPro 2.0 with Moyea FLV Importer for Premiere plug-in. I'll look in my e-mail and YouSendIt account to see if I can find the poster's name (might not be his Adobe screen name), but a Search of this forum ought to turn up something. I'll also do a Search and maybe between us, we can find that thread, as there might be some useful tips in it.
In the meantime, maybe this ARTICLE can help you edit the OOS issues.
Good luck,
Hunt

Ipod 5th Generation Video Audio Problem

well i have a couple of movies on my ipod. and when i play it for the first about 10-20 minutes the audio matches up with the video. But then after that the audio lags behind the video so i hear stuff almost 2 seconds after i see it happen on the screen. What could i do to fix this or at least just make the audio not so far off from the video? Thanks for the help

Dear deggie, hi, thanks for the tip as to what I should be looking for in the slot. However, sadly, it all looks to be fine (well, at least the same as my other iPod).
HR, thanks for the tip re opening the iPod, unfortunately, it is 15 months old, so well past the 12 month warranty expiry (ridiculous, isn't it?).
Here in Australia, we don't have access to Genius Bars and Apple Stores, just the local distributors, and they want $210 to repair/replace the iPod, which, frankly I find a bit rich, considering that it hasn't been mistreated in any way and the other iPod I have has been running fine for more than two years.
I get the feeling, judging by the many complaints on these forums regarding the problems that the gen 5 iPod being recognised and connecting to both Mac and Windows, that this cannot just be purely user error or maltreatment. However, I'm unsure as to what can be done to resolve them or get Apple to admit to there being a problem.
One of the things that confuses me, is that all the internal diagnostics (menu + select then select + back) including USB communication, all come back fine, when, as mentioned in an above post, it most patently is not. Anyone have any clues as to what this might be due to?
If, by some bizarre fluke, I manage to find a resolution to this problem (short of going and paying Apple $210), I'll post back here with it.
Again, thanks for the help, cheers, Peter

Ichat video/audio problem NetGear W6R64

hooking up without router... everything works... I know how to get into the netgear set-up... I know how to get to the Mac network/firewall setting... I just need the settings for the mac and the router... it has UPnP...

This issue is something Apple should solve and have it done with. Skype works fine both in video and audio mode regardless of what firewall/router/modem/network configuration one has set up. I have had the same problem with iChat AV when both audio and video connections cannot be established if I do not open all ports (basically enable DMZ (demilitarised zone) on my Linsys modem/router) for the local IP of the Mac I want to use iChat with. This highly annoying particularly if one uses more than one Mac for iChat. You can fiddle with openning ports as much as you like. If you have a stubborn modem it will be useless. When Skype people could do it, Apple should already have done it long time ago.

IPod Video Sync Problems

I've searched for this for a while but have yet to find a solid answer. I have several videos that were converted over the years into MP4 or H.264, all of which synced to my former iPod 80GB just fine. Now I have a new 160 GB and some of them will and some of them won't (via auto syncing or drag and drop -- if dropping I get no errors, just the "+" sign over Device then nothing on release). I can't tell what the difference is between the ones that work and the others. For example...
Video 1 (WILL go to iPod): 21min23sec, 245mb, MPEG-4, 624x352, data rate 1469, total bit 1597, 29 frames/sec, audio 128k @ 48kHz
Video 2 (will NOT go to iPod): 42min40sec, 414mb, H.264, 624x352, rate 1203, total 1355, 29 frames/sec, audio 152k @ 44kHz
Video 3 (will NOT go to iPod): 27min37sec, 270mb, MPEG-4, 624x352, rate 1214, total 1366, 29 frames/sec, audio 152k @ 84kHz
The only difference I can see is the audio KBPS but I can't see that making enough difference to cause compatability issues. I know I can just use iTunes to convert for iPod but I want to keep these files high enough quality to be watchable on full screen without needing to have a HQ version and an iPod version of 2000+ videos.
Any insights on this? Thanks in advance.

Many of my encoded videos are at 127kbps. I actually got this issue resolved by re-encoding everything that wouldn't sync, but the funny thing is I didn't change any of the settings. Just re-encoded everything as is and suddenly they all synced. I don't get it...
On an unrelated topic, maybe someone can answer this question here so I don't have to start a new post:
When I am trying to auto-sync my iPod I am having trouble syncing selected shows. I set to "Automatically include ALL episodes of SELECTED SHOWS" then go through a show and select certain episodes. But they don't stay unchecked if I Apply settings or go to a different show (ie, if I only check Seasons 1 and 4 of Futurama then Apply changes OR move on to the show Simpsons, all Seasons 1-4 recheck themselves). Any ideas? Thanks

Ipod Video Overheating problems?

Hello,
My company is considering switching to the new video ipods to replace the aging dvd players in our 15 different location lobbies. Normally, we will have a movie running on the screen while our patients wait to see the doctor. Unfortunately, we are having a problem with the dvd players starting to overheat since we run them 12 hours a day.
I was curious if we would run into the same problem with the harddrive on the ipod? Will they begin to overheat running 12 hrs a day?
Any info is appreciated.
Brad

iPods are $299.
DVD players are $29.
No way I would recommend using an iPod for use in a waiting room 12 hours a day, even if it was company money purchasing them.

Import Sony HDD video/audio problems

I have tried to import video footage from a Sony Handycam DCR-SR82 hard drive camcorder into Premiere Pro CS3, but it only imports the video...no audio. It works fine if I import it into Premiere Pro 2. Thanks for any help you can provide. OS - Windows Vista. All updates to Premiere CS3 have been installed.

Here's the original message I read with the fix:
There is a fix!!!!!
If you have Encore CS3 installed...just copy the file ad2ac3dec.dll from the Encore CS3 directory and paste it into the Premier Pro CS3 root directory. This will allo PPcs3 to accept mpeg files with the ac3 extention. If you already have files imported in your projects...you will have to remove those files and re-import them. So far there are no side effects to this process. Have fun all you damn sony camcoder owners.

It works brilliantly. Unfortunately, once you get that fixed you will find yourself with another problem...random red frames in your projects. We use SR-82s at work and I have a Sony SR-1. Both cameras' mpgs will give you the red frame problem in CS3.
As a workaround, you can convert your mpgs to avi or re-encode with h.264 codec before importing into CS3. That worked for me.

Video audio problem

I have been having trouble with the videos I have stored in iTunes. In itially, there was a problem with the image, but having searched the forums I was able to resolve the problem by deactivating the DivX option in Quicktime. However, now some (not all) of the files are playing in a foreign language - this did not use to be the case. I cannot seem to find a solution to this particular problem, and I was wondering if there was anyone out there that might know of one?
Thanks

If you are not using RealPlayer then what program or plugin are you using? WMP? If you are using WMP then go to Tools, Options and then the Performance TAB. You will see a setting for buffering content.
That pausing with a circle is showing that the program is waiting for the sound buffer to fill again.
