Certain video podcasts wont download

The majority of the video podcasts download fine, but a few wont. When I click the ! it says that the podcast might be corrupt or the wrong format. Also, the podcasts that wont download wont play in the store and do not display their time.
Does anyone know how to get the podcasts to download?

Turned out i had the "Tv Out" on so thats hwy the videos wouldn't show up

First video podcast wont download

Hi,
I have a podcast I have been running for a little over a year (audio, mp3). Today I released my first video from the feed. It shows up in the list but wont download from iTunes only. Using my browser direct to my feed and a test with doppler also pulled it down without issue.
The video is in mp4 format and I can view it locally in iTunes.
Totally stumped as to why that one episode wont load.
My feed is http://www.flaxpond.net/today/podcast/todayinvmk.rss if anyone would like to see it. (I know its ugly but it works USUALLY ROFL)
Or look for cowboy from iTunes (only video in the feed, released 11/15/07) from the today in vmk podcast.
Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

If everything else has worked for you, my first guess would be that the podtrack prepend is tripping iTunes up because it ends in ".mp3". I couldn't preview the file in the Store, and when I subscribed to the feed, it looked like the file downloaded, but then it would disappear (I can't even find it on my hard drive!). So, try changing/removing the podtrack prefix in your feed and see if it works. If it doesn't, I would recommend working on overhauling your feed, cause Validator says it is invalid.

ITunes video podcast wont download

Using the latest iTunes on WIn 7 and have three video podcasts which appear to download but when they complete they haven't downloaded and appear greyed out with an open circle on the left. Can anyone help please?

Yes, the file isn't where it's supposed to be, therefore it cannot be downloaded onto your computer.
This is a problem with the Podcast. Each episode is held on a server, the Podcast producers specify where the file is, and all iTunes does is list it according to the information supplied by the producer. (Neither Apple nor iTunes store the Podcast, they simply list it.) When you ask for it (either manually or via a subscription) iTunes asks the host server to download a copy to you. However, if the file is not actually stored where the Podcast's producers say they've put it, you get that message.
I suggest you contact the show's producers to let them know there is a problem. On the iTunes Store page for the Gadget Lab, you should see a link to "Website." Follow that and send them an email.
I've had this happen with Podcasts I'm subscribed to. Usually, all it needs is an email from someone to let them know, they correct the fault and hey presto, done!

My podcast wont download to IPOD

My podcast are gone after upgrading. Same thing happened to my music but I was able to find the fix to restore. Now I'm re-subscribing but the podcast wont download to my IPOD. Has anyone else had this issue

I had the same problem and just figured it out today. The new podcast I subscribed to wasn't syncing to my iPod even though all episodes were checked in the Podcasts section of Library. All my other podcasts were syncing without a problem. When I connected my iPod to my laptop I selected the iPod under "Devices" and then selected the Podcasts tab at the top. There I noticed the new podcast had been added by default with the checkbox empty. Once I checked the box it synced to my iPod.

Videos and podcasts wont download

I've downloaded Lost tv show from iTunes and some other podcasts too but they wont download onto my iPod nano no matter what I do everything else seems to be working please help me I'm going crazy. are the tv shows just something I have to watch on my computer or what?

TV shows and video podcasts won't display on the nano. To watch those you either need to use iTunes on your computer, or you need to get a video iPod.
Audio podcasts should work just fine on your nano.

How do I create a self-contained video podcast for download?

I have a series of videos from a conference I taped years ago that I want to make availanble to people as a digital download. I have purchased some training coruses from places like Ripple that send you an e-mail with a link to the download the course material. Clicking on it opens up iTiunes and downloads the entire training course as a Podcast (video). So it is not hosted on iTunes and is self-contianed to download all "eppisodes."
How is this done? How is this created so I can post it on a server and have people download it? Auto-instal to iTunes would be nice if easily acheivable.
Thanks.

This page explains how to create a podcast:
http://rfwilmut.net/pc
It's written with audio podcasts in mind, but there's little difference in making a video podcast. Your video files must be .mp4, .m4v or .mov, not .wma or .swf (Flash).
In the 'enclosure' tag the 'type attribute must be as follows for the different file types:
.mp4
video/mp4
.m4v
video/x-m4v
.mov
video/quicktime
Most podcast creation programs or service will handle that for you, so it's probably only relevant if you are handwriting the feed.

Video Podcasts to download on Usenet! (Newsgroups)

Wow! How cool! There are so far two Video Podcasts of documentary stuff in usenet newsgroups that can now be downloaded!
http://www.newzbin.com/search/query/p/?q=video+podcast&Category=-1&searchFP=p
Looks like they've been encoded in MPEG 4 with 480 pixel resolution.
What are newsgrops you ask? Have a look at Slyck's guide to Newsgroups:

Hey wingrider97,
Are you trying to download the Podcasts on iTunes, and then sync them over to your iPod? Or are you attempting to download them directly to your iPod using the Podcast app? Depending on your answer, one of the following documents might help:

Video podcast not downloading

For the past few days it seems like all my video podcast will not download properly. They look like they are downloading and when they are done I get a grey explanation point and when I click on the podcast I get a message about a corrupt file or a file that i-tunes can't play.
Also my regular podcast from time to time go out and get every podcast in a feed and then starts downloading them all even though in the prefs. I have it set only to download the most recent podcast.
I tried this on my mac mini I-tunes 7.1 and on my macbook pro i-tunes 7.0.2
Any ideas
Joe

Count me in, too. Throughout March it was kind of sporadic, but recently it's been almost daily. Especially ABC World News.
Anybody else out there having the same thing?

I can't get certain video podcasts to play properly in iTunes 11.2.1 for windows

I have the latest version of iTunes for Windows on two different Windows PC's the one is a new Tablet purchased this month. I installed iTunes onto it and authorized it. I subscribe to lots of podcast subscriptions some of which of video and some of which of audio. I have been having trouble with the CNET video Podcasts such as First Look, CarTech, and HowTo. When I try to play the podcasts the video becomes jerky and will not be synced with the audio. The video sometimes flickers and then the video portion will sometimes flicker and then black out completely. The pdocast will either finish playing in this state or I get a message saying "iTunes is out of memory or Windows tells me that the entire program has stopped working. I thought these errors were due to the underpowered processor and only having 2GB of RAM so I went back to my "Daily Driver" which is a Dell XPS 15" with 12GB of RAM and an Intel Core I7 processor. On the Dell computer this previous was not happening but now this one is starting to do it as well. Audio only poducasts play just fine as well as video podcasts from TWIT.TV such as Windows Weekly, Security Now, and iFIVE for the IPhone. I have updated to the latest windows drivers for the video and chipsets on each machine but to no avail. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Well, I guess those videos are not supported by the current version of iTunes.
I originally had iTunes set to "Open in 32-bit mode" so I could watch these videos. But apparently, since I upgraded iTunes (and OS X), that setting no longer enables those videos to play. When that selection was enabled (Open in 32-bit mode), I experienced the behavior above. Once I de-selected that setting, and re-opened iTunes to try the video again, I recieved a message that stated "This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes."
So, I guess I am out of luck?
This is hard to believe.
here is the issue, described again, in a question that has gone unanswered since October:
Unable to play developer video in iTunes

Can't sync movies and video podcasts wont play

I just got a 6th gen nano today and the movies will not show up on the nano. Also when I play any video podcast the video keeps freezing but the sound keeps going. Has anyone else experienced this issue? If so, how do I fix it?

It also lacks Games and Photos.
I have an iPod Touch now, but i also enjoy my iPod Nano 4G. The difference between them is the weight and the way commands are given: analog but wasy to use (even with eyes closed or one hand and on the moove), versatile options and small versus touch commands, huge screen, but big, in need of great care while handling and of both hands to command.
This is not a decision to differenciate the iPod Nano 6G from iPod Touch, iPod Classic and iPhone, but it's actually not a Nano. It's iPod Shuffle with touch commands - nothing more, but a lot worse than any iPod Shuffle or previous iPod Nano.
