Can't sync video pdcast to iPod

Hi. I own a 5th generation iPod (60 GB) and I use it in conjunction with Windows Vista Business. I've never had any major problems with it but this one is giving me a hard time.
I think my problem started when I opened iTunes one day and it said it could not find my library anymore. I didn't have a back up so I had to re-imported all my stuff in (after I installed the latest version of iTunes; 9.someting...). I also re-subscribed to my regular 2 video podcast I like to watch. Both have downloaded a few shows on iTunes but only one syncs with iPod. I tried subsribing to more podcasts but still only that same one shows on the iPod.
They definitely are on iTunes because I can play them on the computer. I even found the location of a video file and tried to import it in the "videos" section of iTunes but it won't take it. It actually just makes a copy of it the "podcasts" section...
When my iPod is plugged in, I have the proper boxes selected "sync podcasts". All podcasts are listed there. I tried to change from sync all episodes to sync last so many episodes to sync all unwatched episiodes. Still nothing.
Last night I got tired of it and I restored my iPod. I re-synced and I'm still getting the same thing: only 1 podcasts gets to my iPod.
I'm stumped. The only thing I can think of is re-installing iTunes but since it's a pretty big job, I was hoping that someone could help me with some tips...
Thank you!

Hello there,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Just a few more questions for clarification.
So you download all of your podcasts via iTunes correct? And you can only get one Podcast show to sync to your iPod? Does the other shows appear in the Podcasts section of your library or the Videos section? You can play all of these podcasts (no matter what the show) in your iTunes library as stated above? I'm guessing you are not receiving any error messages while syncing your iPod?
Sorry if some of this was answered above, I just wanted to be sure before trying to proceed.

The video isn't in the correct format. There seems to be a lot of changes to video format, and now iTunes won't sync them.
There's a couple of programs out online to convert videos to iPod/iPhone display, but I just use QuickTime.

Can not sync video .mp4 to my ipod???

I converted all videos to .mp4 and still can't sync them to my ipod classic. It said " [name of the vid] wasn't copied because i can not be played on your ipod ..". Help me, plz. Thks so much!

If it's already in iTunes, you can reconver the video to an even more friendly iTunes format using iTunes' built in converter. Highlight the video in iTunes and choose Advanced -> Create iPod or iPhone version from the menu bar.
When the video(s) has/have finished converting, configure them to sync to your iPod.

Did you download the rental directly on the iPad ? If so (from this page) :
If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.

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.

iDevices do not sync to accounts, they sync to computers.
How to use multiple iDevices with one computer search the forums for HT1495, the forums are not allowing for posting of links right now.

I have updated my Apple ID and password, but am now getting a message that iCloud can't sync. On my iPod Touch, it still is showing up as my old Apple ID/email address.

Thanks! I found an earlier post making reference to deleting the account and then signing back in with the new info -- basically the same idea. Thanks for your help!

STILL can't get Videos into 5G iPod , Ready to throw it out the window

I'm ready to throw this iPod out the window , I spent all day yesterday over 10 hours , trying to get videos onto my iPod , my iPod software and iTunes are up tp date , first I just drag and dropped them as MPEG no luck iTunes recognized and played them but wouldn't let me drag and drop them to the iPod then I used iSquint , it converted them to MPEG 4 , they transferd into iTunes and played but not the iPod I got an error that they weren't transferable and not recognized by the iPod .
I called Appe this morning and they were no help since I didn't get the Vid's from the appple store and since you only get one free service call ,and wouldn't tell me the format for the videos I didn't want to waste it . They suggested I buy Quicktime Pro .
Then I tried , Movies For My iPod . I used the transfer for iPod option , it converted them to .mp4.m4v . I drag and dropped them directly to the iPod no luck , they're there but wont play or show up in the iPod then I opened up iTunes and drag and droppped them into iTunes again played in iTunes not transfered to the iPod although it said it was updating .
Then ,I tried the custom settings file format MP4 , video format , MPEG-4 Improved , Image Size 320 X 240 QVGA , again I tried to drag and drop them onto the iPod still not there , now I tried to drag and drop unto iTunes , again they're there and play but won't show up on the iPod . I've pretty much had it .
In the Movies For MY iPod they're are some custom settings . File Format MP4(ISMA) In the Video there is an MPEG-4 Improved setting with a bit rate of 256 kbits/sec Image size 320x 240 QVGA frame rate 30 plus alot of other settings which I have no idea what they are .
Today I have 6 hours of frustration into this still no luck . I'm really disappointed with Apple ,I started out with the first iMac a Bondi Blue and have been working my way up , I have an iBook , an iMac Graphite , a G4 iMac a 15G 3G iPod now the 5G iPod . Apple should have included Quick Time pro in the G5 , and only one support call, come on , even Dell gives you a year of support .
And to top it all off the Black is beautiful but scratches easily , I'm a chef , my nails very short and allready it's scratched to bits by the wheel, I keep it in a case when I'm playing it , you can hardly touch it . I'm not very happy with Apple and this iPod , they rushed it out for the holiday , so if your in the jacksonville Florida area look for a flying iPod .

Lets run down a list of possibilities:
1) You are using iTunes 6 here, correct?
2) You did not say whether or not you are running in auto-sync, manual management, or "Enable Disk" mode. If you left it in the default mode as installed (auto-sync), then after dropping your movies into iTunes (or adding them to the Library), simply connect your iPod and allow it to auto-sync (mirror) the current contents of iTunes. (You can also try "Update iPod" option under the File menu, but I have found it unreliable -- possibly owing to "sleeping" iPod.)
3) Not sure if your reference to "dropping the movie on the iPod" is a reference to the iPod desk icon in manua/disk enabled mode or the iPod "Source" reference/associaed contents list in iTunes. Could you clarify where you are attempting to "drag 'n drop" and/or the selected sync mode of operation in your iPod Preferences.
4) As to conversion to iPod compatible formats, recommend you stick with MoviesForMyPod and/or iSquint if you are restricted to QT Pro 6 and not sure what settings to use for MPEG4 preset collection/QuickTime Movie full manual mode.

How can I transfer Video from old IPOD to new

I bought an IPOD from Ebay and would like to transfer the video from my classic Ipod to a new nano.
Can I do this?
Thanks

Not directly (iPod to iPod). Instead, if you do not already have them in your iTunes library, you need to first get them back into your iTunes library. Then you can easily sync them out to any iPod you connect to that library.
