Audio or Video Podcast?

Is there any way that I can get iTunes to show which podcasts and iTunes U content is video and which is audio only? I only want to transfer the videos to my ipad and only the audio to my ipod.

Video episodes for Podcasts and iTunes U have a small TV screen icon to the right of the episode's title. Expand the Podcast information by clicking on the right-facing arrow which is to the left of the series's title.

Any Quick Way to Strip Audio from Video Podcast

I like the Mad Money podcast. All I can find is video podcast only. I really don't care to look at Jim Cramer's ugly mug everyday.... I would prefer just to have the audio only so I can put on an iPod shuffle.
Does anyone know if an audio podcast of the show is available or, if not, of a quick way to strip it from the video?
Thanks!

You can also open the file as an audio file, and save it as an MP3, in Amadeus Lite ($24.99 from the Apple App Store - requires OSX 10.5.5) or Amadeus Pro ($40 - requires OSX 10.4 or higher, Snow Leopard compatible). Both are available in trial versions. (Unfortunately Audacity won't open these files.)

No audio on video podcast

Hi all.
Just got my first iPod a few weeks ago and absolutely love it! Just started subscribing to podcasts and am having trouble with a particular podcast - "Green Bay Packers Official Podcast". I have no audio when played through my iPod and no audio when viewed on my G4. The video comes through great! So, being that I am new to podcasts, I hope I am simply making a mistake. Can somebody please download the latest video podcasts. Either "Mike McCarthy Press Conference" or "Brett Favre Press Conference" and let me know if it works for you?
Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you
I download podcast direct in to iTunes from the podcast sites like mac break, BBC etc. I have the latest upgrade for quick time too.
There is a second problem. From Mac break site some of the old podcasts are not downloading at all and some say downloaded but no video and audio. I haven't got a clue why it is not happening.
Can some body help me please

Audio vs. video podcast playback

At the end of watching a video podcast I am returned to the episode menu of the podcast I just watched. At the end of listening to an audio podcast I am returned to the main (iPod) menu.
Is there any way to make audio podcast playback act like video podcast playback (meaning return me to the episode menu instead of the main menu)?

Separating Audio & Video Podcasts in the Same Feed

Slightly complex question here ... with several possible solutions.
I have a few podcast feeds that combine both audio and video podcasts. I would like to synch only the audio episodes to my iPod.
If I try to synch manually, I have to choose every episode of every feed I want to synch in one go ... I haven't figured out how to add to an existing set of podcasts on my iPod. I don't seem to be able to synch everything then manually delete the videos.
If I synch automatically, I get all the video too, which eats too much disc space.
I've thought of the following possible solutions, though I don't know if they will work.
- subscribe to the a/v feed twice, and delete the video feeds from the feed I synch to the iPod;
- move the videos out of the podcast section to someplace else;
Any help? I'm an old Mac user, and have been using iTunes for a long time, but podcasts and iPods are new to me, so I may be missing something obvious.
Thanks!

Can my iTune channel have both audio & video podcasts?

Quick question from a newbie getting feet wet, can I upload audio and video podcasts into 1 single subscription channel?
Thanks!

You mean audio and video episodes p the podcast is the overall collection of episodes (sorry to be picky but if you don't get the terminology right it causes a lot of confusion).
You can mix episodes in the feed: episode lives within an 'item' tag, and there is no technical reason why you shouldn't alternate audio and video, so that both appear. What you can't do is put two episode media files into one 'item' - the second will be ignored.
However your subscribers won't thank you for doing this: it means that even if they only want the audio version they still have to download the video version. I would suggest having two separate feeds (which you will have to submit separately), one for audio and one for video - treat it as two separate podcasts though the basic content would otherwise be the same: you will probably have to make the titles slightly different (put 'audio' or 'video' in the title to make things clear).

Problem with Video Podcasts

Hey, I have been looking at the Video Podcasts recently, wanted to download a couple, but everytime I try, nothing. Regular Podcasts are okay, but I like to see what the BBC is talking about. Oh, I have the Nano 3G 8GB. I think that is how I should write it.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I'll also confirm this oversight.
I doubt its an outright glitch, I'm sure its designed this way as an oversight.
i.e. The iPod app assumes that Podcasts are audio, and that any 'Podcast' that is video will be accessed through the 'Video' button.
I know that this is a point of contention for me, since I have both audio and video podcasts that I listen/watch through the 'Podcasts' section of iTunes, so I figure I would do the same on the iPhone. (I don't have a video iPod, so I don't know how it works on there.) I have a few TV shows synced to my iPhone, as well as a movie, and all of my music videos. My Video section is a little cluttered to be constantly needing to scroll to the bottom of the video list for my latest video podcast episodes, when there is a perfectly good 'Podcasts' button to be tapped!
I must say that I do like the fact that you can play music videos as if they were just songs in the music section, though. I have a few songs that I only have as a music video, not as just plain audio, so they wouldn't sync to my 3G iPod or iPod nano. In Front Row on my Mac, I have been able to play them as 'music' in addition to as a video, so I appreciate being able to do that on the go now, too.

Audio and Video on the sme RSS feed

I'm trying to place audio and video podcasts (MP3 and MP4) on the same rss feed. The feed validates. When I do audio only, it works fine. When I add a video to the feed, only the video displays in iTunes.
Do I have to run two seperate feeds?
Thanks

You can't play both the audio and the video simultaneously, you'll need to merge them.

How can I change a audio podcast into a video podcast?

Hello,
I'm currently using the lastest version of iTunes and have successfully imported all my music, movies, home videos, books, etc. I'm having an issue with iTunes U and Podcasts. The reasons is because I don't actually use them for the real purpose. Instead, I keep home movies in one and sporting events in another. I don't want to mix them in with the movies, so I thought I found a nice work around. Since these movies are my own, nothing was purchased through iTunes. The problem I'm encountering is that some of the videos have been recognized as videos and some others as audio versions of Podcasts or iTunes U. They are all labeled in as either podcasts/itunes u in the media type field, but I can't seem to find any option to get them solely as Podcasts > Video or iTunes U > Video.
P.S. I also converted the files to Apple TV format, so file type shouldn't be the issue as they would all be the same. Can anyone shed some light? While they do transfer, the ones that show up in music only plays sound without the video.
Thanks for any assistance!

I figured out a workout around for anyone who may run into a similar problem.
1) Delete Files from iTunes
2) Use MetaX and Open Files (Choosing "Movie" as the type)
3) Save Change to Files
4) Load Files into iTunes
5) Change Media Type (it will stay as video even if podcast or itunes U is selected).

Video Podcast no longer plays audio

Within the last week, (Possibly the last update), I can no longer get audio to work on Video Podcasts. No audio in iTunes or on iPhone for Video Podcasts. However, Audio Podcasts play just fine and no other issues with Movies, etc.

Is there any way to keep streaming the audio portion of a video podcast when I leave the Podcast app?

If I leave the Podcast app while playing an audio podcast, I can still hear the audio. However, if I leave a video podcast to do something else like answer emails, the audio portion doesn't keep playing. This means that if I have a video podcast going, I can't do anything else with my iPad while it's playing. I multitask all the time while playing my podcasts and then come back to the video if it sounds like there is something interesting to see. This one glitch unfortunately makes the Podcast app unusable for me. I'll keep using the Downcast app for a while longer because of this but if Apple fixes this problem, I'll be back since the rest of the app looks great.

Thanks Kiwi. It doesn't make sense to me though, as that would seem to be only a simple change in the operating system, not a hardware 'necessity'.

Video Podcasts - just audio no video

I subscribe to a couple video Podcasts, but don't view them often. But one popped up that looked interesting so I tried and only got the audio.The video window did not open.
I checked an older video that came with a purchased album and again, the sound played but the video did not open.
No Video just Audio. Any thoughts?
I'm running iTunes 10.6.1
Lion 10.7.3
PowerBook 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7

PS - I should mention that both the podcast and the music video played in the distant past, but I can't remember when I last tried to view them. Could be several versions of iTunes ago, certainly not since upgrading to Lion.

Video Podcasts Playing Audio Only

I'm trying to play some video Podcast's that I DL'd from Itunes, I made sure they were Ipod Compatible and not Apple TV, they show up under Podcasts but play audio only. This is a Brand New 30gb 5.5g

You say you get the audio only. What do you see when you play the podcast: Does it look like when a song is playing from your music library? If so, you may just be accessing the Podcast from the wrong menu. Make sure you go through the Videos menu.

Video podcasts vs. Audio

I've noticed that when a video podcast finishes, I'm dumped to the podcast listing that I played it from.
When an audio podcast finishes, I'm dumped to the top menu.
Why?

Convert video podcast to audio podcast

Hello!
My ipod can't show videos. There's a weekly discussion on a video podcast, that I would like to listen to on my ipod (without image because there is no visual action...). Is there possibility to extract just the sound and produce a "new" podcast out of this?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Well, this is really weird but sometimes the option is there and sometimes it's not.
Here's proof - look between "Reset Plays" and "Consolidate Files":
So the real question is how to get that to show, and I can't say for sure how I did it. The trick seems to be related to whether the episode is selected or not before you right-click on it, but that's not entirely it. I think what I did was click on an audio file, then right-click on the video file while the audio file was still highlighted.
It may be easier to just open the video in Quicktime Player, and use that to export the AAC audio.
