Adding videos in latest itunes 10.2.2?

Hi everyone...
I think i stumble upon a problem with the latest itunes upgrade.
Up to iTunes 10.2.1 this seems to work fine.
I have been encoding most of my dvd collection with Handbrake, and producing m4v files for the iPod classic. And the files are ready i tag then with AtomicParsley, and they "drop" the files in the "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder.
From this point the Itunes will take over and place/move the files in the/to correct directories (i have the setting for iTunes to manage my lib).
Let's make an example, that i just used for testing. I have encoded an episode of "Only Fools and Horses", tagged it correctly, and placed it in the "Automatically Add to iTunes", and iTunes 10.2.1 will move it to the folder "TV Shows/Only Fools and Horses/Season 7" and renames it accordingly.
If i upgrade to the iTunes 10.2.2 from yesterday, this behavior no longer works, with 2 problems:
1. while the lib in itunes will be updated, and a new show will be in the lib, the file will still be left in "Automatically Add to iTunes", so there is not moving the file and no renaming.
2. next time i start itunes, or add something else, the files that are still present "Automatically Add to iTunes" are re-added to the lib (once again no move or no rename)
and this will go on with no stop.
This seems to happen only with video files. Music files seem to work fine.
I have moved back to 10.2.1 and then the behavior is correct. I have tested this in both of my systems, one Windows XP and the other Windows 7 and the behavior is identical in both, 10.2.1 works fine, 10.2.2 doesn't move/rename the files out of "Automatically Add to iTunes"
Anyone can help, or has seen similar issue?
thanks in advance.

I'm having the same problem as the OP. On mine, I added a movie to the folder, itunes imported it. I wasn't paying attention at the time, but went ahead and edited the tags, adding artwork, etc, then I noticed it was in the library 3 times. Looked in the 'Automatically...' folder and it was still there. Looked in the movies folder and it hadn't been copied. I deleted from itunes and it put the movie in the recycle bin. I had to remove all 3 copies from the itunes library. I then tried to restore the file from the recycle bin and I was locked out of the 'Automatically..." folder. I restarted the computer and the folder was gone. It came back when I re-launched iTunes, but it still isn't working correctly. I ended up putting the movie in the movies folder manually, then added it manually in iTunes.
Is there a way to downgrade to 10.2.1 without an uninstall/reinstall?
Where can I get 10.2.1?

Adding Video Artwork Crashes iTunes

Everytime I convert one of my DVDs to .mov format, it is added to my computer perfectly (using the Videora iPhone converter).
However, when I attempt to add artwork to my movie, the movie is erased from my library and iTunes crashes. What is wrong and what can I do?
It only became a problem with iTunes 6.

Ever since i upgraded to the latest version of itunes I started encountering problems/difficulties in adding videos in itunes library. All the videos that I'm trying to upload are in the correct file format (mpeg4/mp4). I tried adding using Add File to Library, Add Folder to library and even Import..nothing happens..no prompt that its uploading. In the end can't add any video.

since downloading latest itunes software 5.01, i'm no longer able to downoad video as before. what's going on??

What happens when you try add videos? Any error messages during the sync process? Is your iPod configured to sync videos/movies from under its Movies tab in iTunes?
Perhaps this article can assist you with getting videos onto your Touch.

QuickTime and MPEG-4 movie files that end in *".mov", ".m4v", or ".mp4"* and are playable in QuickTime Player.
Video podcasts.

Adding video to iTunes but keeping it in a folder when iTunes organizes your folder automaticly

Hi,
I've recently added a video to my iTunes librariry (on Windows 7) so that I can view it through my AppleTV, I was able to add it to the library and change it's type from Movie to TV Show but when I look at the folder structure, it puts it to the root of TV Show folder and not into a specific folder (for example, the name of the show). If I create a folder and move the file into it, everything resets back to moving it into the movie category (because I have the option for iTunes to keep my folder organised automaticly). So I was just wondering if there's a way I can configure the file (maybe through the get info in iTunes) to have inside a specific folder.

I suspect the problem is that you're not filling in enough information to cause the file to be moved to the intended folder.
Fill in both Album and Show with the name you want your "TV Show" to have. See this for more info.
Don't move iTunes media around by hand, that just confuses things. As in the words of this video you need to trick it into doing what you want.

Hi. I use windows Xp with service pack 3. I have the latest itunes 11.1 installed in it. I am able to add music or apps to my library but not just videos. Please help.

Hi. I use windows Xp with service pack 3. I have the latest itunes 11.1 installed in it. I own ipad mini. I am able to add music or apps to my library but not just videos. I have already tried removing & reinstalling it. I also have tried with various formats like MPEG, MOV, MP4. Please help.

I already have what you ( ClayandLonnie ) have suggested with the preferences>Shareing Preferences set to share all.
I have tried turing it off, and then back on.
I have tried just sharing specific items and this still did not work.
I am going to try stepping back down to 11.04.4 as previously suggested by TheDarkCanuck when I get home tomorrow. (maybe saturday). I am just leary about having to recreate all my libraries and how long that might take. I have over 1.5 TB of Music and Video, that is why I would like to get it working in the current version.
Just because I don't have a Mac, it seems that this is not being taken as a real problem for the windows 7 users (maybe it is specific to 64bit). I may try the 32bit version to see if that fixes it first. Unless someone else has, and want to chime in.

I put video clips together and added music off of iTunes but it will not attach when I put it on youtube or vimeo. what is wrong. It plays as I made it on iMovie

what is wrong. It plays as I made it on iMovie

Thank you all for your replies. Here is what i ended up doing. I cannot afford any 3rd party software so i went to itunes and manually entered all my playlists. As I had indicated my purchased music was on my new computer just not the playlists and I could not sync my ipod. After I rebuilt all my playlists I tried to restore my ipod to factory defaults/new. All of the steps called for in apple support and elsewhere were not available to me. I connected my ipod, went to my computer, right clicked my ipod, and formatted. That wiped my ipod so when I connected to itunes it then gave me a restore option. I did the restore and all is good in the empire again. I can now buy new music and sync my ipod so I am a happy camper.
Thanks to all.

i have the latest itunes, i cant put videos even if they are in mp4

I have the same problem. I haven't been able to find any suggestions or solutions. I found a free program called CopyTrans Manager that allows me to put videos onto my iTouch. You can download it at http://www.copytrans.net/. I have been using it for the last few days now and it has worked great.

Latest iTune update (May 2014) - unable to play any videos (movies/TV shows)

After the latest iTunes update to 11.2.2.3 I can no longer play any of my purchased/downloaded videos, be it TV shows or Movies. Video window opens up and then nothing, black screen, nothing happens, doesn't play. Tried skipping ahead and still no video/audio playing. All my iTunes audio music plays fine, just issues with video playback. Any one else having these issues? Any suggestions out there? Apple, what have you done? Help!!

Windows 7 64bit - iTunes 64bit. Open the video - in this case, a TV episode. Sound is great. Picture is black.
Other streamers - HBO, DirecTV, FX, Hulu, Netflix - work great.
If I remote to the computer using RDC, I can see the picture via the remote connection.
I've tried the above instructions and uninstalled everything Apple, in order. I've even removed everything Apple in AppData and removed temp files.
I've rebooted and reinstalled it - and again, in Remote Desktop Connection it's showing the image.
On the computer itself, it works great with the sound, but...
No picture.
I've been looking in the Event Viewer and noticed some errors in the .net framework. Not spotting anything else at this time.

I have updated to the latest itunes, and it now won't allow me to import or burn CD's or DVD's. it says it is to do with the registry settings, and that recently added cd burning software may have something to do with it.

please help!! i've recently updated to the latest itunes version. after much hassle in doing so, it now tells me that the registry settings for importing or burning CD's/DVD's doesn't work and that i should reinstall itunes. i,ve done that from the website and from a saved position, but it doesn't work. i don't want to have to delete my library to have to start again !!!! there must be another way. it also said that it might be to do with other CD/DVD burning software, but i haven't put any on my computer that itunes didn't seem to lke before

I have the exact same issue. I havent found our what is causing it either. Multaple re-install attempts with no success. I have to use Windows Media Center to burn audio discs. Any other advice?

Adding videos toi ITunes

I wish to add my own movies to ITunes so I can synch them to my IPod. I cannot add video files to ITunes. When I add a folder, or a file or try moving the file to the library it says nothing is selected. Can anyone help? Thank you.

Hi,
iTunes only accepts QuickTime movie format. That is ".m4v" or ".mov" videos. What you can do is, if you haven't already done so, convert the videos to ".mov" format, and then drag it to iTunes. That should do the job.

Did something change with the video formats in iTunes 10.5?

Good afternoon,
Since updating to iTunes 10.5, I've found that I can't sync any videos (whether they be TV Shows, Films or Video Podcasts) to my iPod. I've tried various different methods of trying to fix this but every time I do I get given the error message "Some of the videos in your iTunes library, including the video "xxxxx", were not copied to the iPod "xxxxx" because they cannot be played on this iPod."
Now, any of the videos added prior to iTunes 10.5 still work and I can sync them to my iPod without a problem and still play them from there, but anything since then it's just been throwing out the error. I have a 16GB iPod Nano with the latest software version (1.0.2), running off Windows XP SP3, and all Apple software I use is up-to-date.
Please can anyone give me any hints or help in solving this problem?
Thanks,
Dan

I think you do not understand, this is all in iTunes under windows.
Here I have a few screens of the problem.
Here is my iTunes video list
Here is me looking at the info of a video in the iTunes library
Here is a list of videos on my iPhone
And here is the info for a video that is on the iPhone
As you can see after the video has been transferred the artwork tab and the artwork it self disappears.
