Can't play video on my ipod 5gen?

Ok so yesterday I finally bought an apple ipod 5 gen 30G and was expecting to come home and simply upload videos and downloaded movies to it the same way as with songs. only problem is, It took me a while to figuire out how exactly to import My Fan made Movies into itunes, I used Videora iPod Converter. I converted my Fan made movies. It showed up and played fine in itunes but when I updated my ipod and tried to play the video (on my ipod) It simply shows a thumbnail and plays the audio!!
Now I got this ipod to play both audio & video but it's really starting to **** me off, thats where GT comes in.
Is there anyway to play fan made movies (created in windows movie maker) and downloaded full lengh movies (not from the itunes store but from torrents) on my ipod 5 gen????
And is it supossed to take a really long time to convert say a 50MB file? Im really confused.
Thanks-
MRBee
Edit: I just tried to sync the video to my ipod again and it said; ipod cannot play this file........WHAT?
Windows XP

"when I updated my ipod and tried to play the video (on my ipod) It simply shows a thumbnail and plays the audio"
On your iPod go to "Videos / Video Settings".
Then select "TV Out" and either set it to "off" or "ask".
Also, make sure you are accessing the video through the videos menu. If you have a video mixed in an audio playlist and you access it through that, you also won't be able to see the video.
Btw, I would recommend something other than Videora. Try Streamclip.

Can´t play video in my iPod

I didn´t find anything about my problem in any other topic.
I´ve bought an iPod video. I can put music, photos and postcasts on it using iTunes, but the video doesn´t work.
I´ve read that the correct video format is mp4. I downloaded a program called "Videora iPod Converter" that turns any kind of video into a mp4 file.
So, i´ve created a video called "siimpsons16x6.mp4" from a video file with ".avi" extension. I can play the new video in the Quicktime or with iTunes. But when I put the video in the iPod, although there is no error, something is wrong. I disconnect the iPod, but i can´t find any video file in it.
Can anybody help me? How put your own videos into the iPod?
Thanks, and sorry for my bad english...

Your english is great, welcome to discussions.
You might have better luck on the 5th generation video iPod discussions. I don't have one, so no advice other than check over there

How can i play videos on my ipod?

i have a 5 gen 30gb ipod and whenever i try to put the videos on my ipod, it says that the videos cannot be placed on the ipod because the ipod isn't compatible with them. i have checked and the videos are both .mpg which as far as i know, is a compatible video extension. i posted this problem before and some guy gave me a program to fix it but i can't find that post anymore. anybody?

Playing videos of an ipod via xbox 360

i was just curious as to if you connect like a normal ipod video with your xbox and go to the media>video tab on the xbox dashboard, can you play videos from your ipod via the xbox 360???? that would definitely be legit cuz im always bumming movies off of my friends itunes and then i could watch them on tv via xbox 360 connection. let me know

that would definitely be legit cuz im always bumming movies off of my friends itunes
definitely NOT legit.
As to whether an xbox can handle this depends on what acessories you have. Apple and other companies make docks with A/V cables for playing video to TVs. If xbox can take those cables as inputs then it should work.

My iPod touch 5th gen can't play videos?

I've had my iPod touch 5th gen since Christmas Eve and I haven't had any problems with it, but a few days ago it stopped playing videos and now - even though I have turned it off and back on and turned the wifi off and back on again - it still can't play videos off any site, Facebook, dailymotion, YouTube, nothing. But I can view webpages and get Internet connection just fine!!
So if you know what I could do to fix it please help because it's very frustrating!!! Thanks

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Is there a way to play video on the iPod Photo with color display 60 GB?

Just curious. Can you download and play video with this model? It does about everything else. Any help that someone can offer me will be appreciated.

You can only play video's with the new 5th generation iPods.
Maybe the iSee (http://www.isee-ato.com/) is a good alternative for you?

Since the iPod Lightning connection is not supported, how can you take videos from your iPod 5th Gen to your tv?

STILL can't get Videos into 5G iPod I give up I'm bringing it back

I have the Black 30GB, after a week of trying iSquint , Handbrake ,Movies for my iPod and now MPEG Streamclip I still can't get videos in my iPod . I give up, it's scratched to bits and I handle it with extreme care . This was the worst $300.00 I've ever spent .

I had trouble with that too, but figured it out. Here are some things to check:
1.) Preferences in iTunes with the iPod connected. I put mine on automatic update of all podcasts, just to make sure nothing is missed.
2.) On the iPod, go to Settings > Main Menu > Videos > On
3.) On the iPod, got to Videos > Video Settings > TV Out OFF, Widescreen OFF, TV Signal (in US is NTSC, in Europe is PAL).
After I configured #3, all worked. I'm not sure the widescreen setting makes a difference, but I do know the TV settings do.
I think you won't have any problems if you go down this checklist. Too bad they don't mention it in Apple support.

Flash Player that auto appeared on my screen. Ever since I can not play video, and my system has become painfully slow. I have Mac OS Lion 10.7.5 and software is up to date. Before this everything was running beautifully. Can you please provide a link so

Dear Adobe.
Yesterday I installed the latest version of Flash Player that auto appeared on my screen. Ever since I can not play video, and my system has become painfully slow. I have Mac OS Lion 10.7.5 and software is up to date. Before this everything was running beautifully. Can you please provide a link so I can uninstall the latest version only. Thank you. Stephen Kress. Melbourne. Australia

When you run the uninstaller, it will uninstall all Flash Player versions.
If you want to revert to an older version after that, get it from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html

Can't play videos on a newly upgraded iBook

I have recently upgraded my iBook G3 to 10.4.11. I also added an Airport card and a 512 MB RAM card. I can do pretty much anything on the internet (Safari 4.0.4) but can't play videos. The picture is really jumpy & laggy and the sound continues out of sync with the picture. Am I missing something or is the computer just not advanced enough to keep up?

Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
Streaming video on an iBook G3 is a toughie.
Some suggestions which I found to help:
Restart the computer and open only the browser you want to use. Don't have any other applications open when you're attempting to watch streaming video.
Sometimes Firefox worked better for me than Safari (but I never used 10.4 on my iBook G3).
Some people have reported luck using VLC:
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-macosx.html
As a last resort, if possible, download the video and watch it from your hard drive.
Keep in mind that the last, best iBook G3 (900 MHz) was last produced in October of 2003, so you have a very old iBook attempting to play the latest versions of video, so things are often not very workable.
Good luck.
