Cant get video into itunes

i Have a video i downloaded of the net and i cant even get it into itunes to put it onto my ipod!
i have a few different movies and i cant get any format into itunes!! some one please help me!!!!

It might help if you first understsand what the 5th gen IPOd can play and what it cannot. Then you'll find out that your videos will need to be converted using a combination of different software depending on your video files format.
IPod can play the following video formats:
H.264 video
File formats: .m4v, .mp4 and .mov
Video: Up to 768 Kbps, 320 x 240 pixels, 30 frames per second, Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3
Audio: AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 KHz, stereo audio
MPEG-4 video
File formats: .m4v, .mp4 and .mov
Video: Up to 2.5 Mbps, 480 x 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile
Audio: AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 KHz, stereo audio
What are your videos files fomat? MPEG, WMV, AVI MOV

How to get videos into itunes

i have some music videos in realplayer, is there a way to get them into itunes? i can go to them and click 'open' but it doesn't do anyting. any suggestions?
and also, there are 2 other videos that i put in realplayer's favorites, but when i search for them in itunes, (or any other music software) they don't show up, why is this and how and i get them to show up?
and when i try opening the videos in quicktime 7, it says they aren't movie files.
thanks for any help

okay here it is.
1.go to google, search for videora, find the videora converter (thats free) DOWNLOAD IT
2. start up the videora converter and click transcode new video, find the video in your files from ares/limewire or whereever and click it.
3. see the thing beside it that says "New transcoding", once you've clicked a file from #2 press START (do not fiddle with the settings they make it so that your ipod reads the information)
4. it will take minutes to hours depending on how big the file is.
5. once it is CONVERTED (be patient) : go to itunes click file at the top -> go to add file to library .
6. okay your file is in a folder that looks something like this: C:\Program Files\VideoraiPodConverter\Videos . therefore you need to find wherever you uploaded your program (videora) and find the file
labelled "videoraipodconverter" (unless you changed it)
7. once you find this file (in program files most likely) click on "videos" and your video should be there, uploaded and converted
8. there, you're done and it should play both sound and video on your ipod
okay, so enough topic dicussions about this.
please leave comments where i am too vague or it doesn't work and happy holidays
PS: if you're downloading from a CD or DVD you have to save it in a file before you can convert it. Try saving it in "my music"
THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE FOR windows XP not MAC
thanks,
KM

Cannot get videos into iTunes

I already did the test that this website suggests to make sure that video can play on the iPod. Everything worked fine, but now I can't get any other videos on my computer to copy into iTunes so I can use it on my computer.
I have NO idea what to do. I've done everything I can think of, using Real Player, Media Player and what not. I've spent hours going through this website and I still have no answers. Any help would be great.
Thanks.

It's worth trying to use one of the applications below to convert your videos before trying to add to the library.

Get videos into itunes..?

I got the videora and I transcoded a few of my videos to see if it would work. Then I went into ITunes and clicked 'Add File to Library' and found the file and clicked on it. But it didn't put the video in the videos section of ITunes. Is there something special that I have to do so the movies will show up in the Videos section and to get them onto my ipod?

The videos that will not play, open them and see if they will play in Quicktime first. Also check this artical out and make sure your video is in the format iTUnes supports http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302758

How Do I Get Home Videos into iTunes?

I have 6 home videos that I want to put into iTunes....both the iTunes library on the hard drive and the iTunes app. I had them in there but for some reason they got mixed up and I deleted them. I have the copies so how do I get them into the iTunes library on my hard drive and into the itunes app so I can look at them.
It is such a mess and I'm trying to make my question as simple as possible. Here is one thing that happens...when I tried to put the videos into iTunes they went into a folder called Home Videos. But there is no folder on iTunes called Home Videos....it is called Movies which is where the videos were before. There is no place for me to access a folder called Home Videos because there isn't one. And, If I access the old Movie Folder it is empty. The Movie folder is permanent....put there by iTunes so I can't delete it and add add one called Home Videos.
Can anyone straighten out this mess? The only good news is that I still have copies of the home videos...they were not deleted.

Drag them into the library folder.

I need help getting this video into itunes and on my ipod.

i don't know if this is possible...
the band the films have a new music video "black shoes" on their website. www.the-films.com i got it on my computer and it plays as a movie in quicktime, but i can't figure out how to get it into itunes and on my ipod, if that's possible. i tried to open it in imovie and i couldn't get that to work either. any help would be awesome. thanks.

To get it into iTunes go to file-->add to library and find the file.
Try opening quicktime and open the file. Does it play there? It has to be able to play in QT otherwise iTunes will not accept it.

Can't import videos into iTunes

Yeah..so maybe I'm just ********, but I cant get any videos onto iTunes. I've tried all the formats, .mpeg and .mov and such, but can't get it. When I choose Import or drag and drop the video into iTunes, nothing happens. I'm lost...

I have the exact same problem. I've tried several differnt ways trying to get 3 different videos in my library but they just wont go. I've been through File > Add file to library, and as well as File > Add folder to library. But when I click on the movie and click Open it does nothing. I have no idea why but it's driving me crazy. Please help me too...

Can't get video from itunes to nano!

Hi Everyone,
I just purchased a new Nano (4th gen) and am very frustrated (may take it back) becuase I can't seem to get video (mp4 and/or m4v format) to load onto my nano. I have used Handbrake to convert from ISO to mp4 and can successfully get the video into itunes HOWEVER, i cannot get the video onto my new nano! There is no error message as others have posted, when I attempt to drag and drop the video it just displays the circle with line indicating its not possible to add the video to the nano!
Does anyone know how to do this...I am so frustrated!!
Thanks in advance!

Welcome to AD!
New nanos are set for auto sync, by default. With the nano plugged, in, go to the iPod's the Movie tab and tell it to sync that movie, instead of dragging it over.

Can't import QT compatibile videos into iTunes 6

Here is what it says about importing video into iTunes 6 in the Help menu:
You can also watch other QuickTime-compatible videos (for example, files that end in ".mov" or ".mp4") in iTunes. Drag a video into the iTunes window, as you would any song file. Videos have a display icon next to them in the library.
I have tried everything to get a .mov and a .mp4 movie into iTunes and I can't make it happen. Anyone have any luck with this?
Dave

I assume these files play fine in QuickTime?
Have you tried Add to Library from the File menu (Command O).
If that doesn't work, try a Save As from QT. You should then be able to import the new file fine.
I did notice that changing the extension (from .mov to .mp4 in my case) rendered the video un-importable. You don't get any feedback from iTunes either - it just doesn't work.
Good luck!
