Changing Movie to Music Video On 5th Generation

I just bought a 5th Generation iPod and I am having a trouble changing music videos to music video in iTunes. I can right click on a single file and under options change Video Type to Music Video from Movie the problem is I have slightly over 1,000 music videos and it does not make sense to do them one at a time. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated, especially if they work.

Ah... you were talking about that little dropdown menu.
I didn't find any way to manipulate this for several tracks at once. Let Apple know about this issue, send them a feature request: http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

Change "Movies" to Music Videos

Ok, I have the iTunes 8.0 and I just tried to add some music videos to it and it added it in the movie section, like it always has, but when I try to change it to a music video it's not like it use to be. I tried right click>get info>video tab> video kind that's how I usually do it and it always worked before but now there is no drop down list.
So I was wondering if anyone knows how I can do this, change my "movies" to music videos.
Thanks in advance. GB

This option has been moved. Look for "Media Kind" under the Options tab. You can now even select multiple tracks and apply this option.
Enjoy life,

Playing Music Videos in 5th Generation IPOD

I did all that was directed. I downloaded a music video from Itunes, it is now stored in my IPOD. I went to Videos, Music Videos, Artist, and then hit play. Sound, no video.
Why?
Thanks for your help

We used to have this issue on AppleTV - lots of us sent feedback using the AppleTv feedback link similar to the one given, and I'd like to think that was the spur for the feature eventually being added.
So I'd advise you to use the link the other poster gave.

My movies and music videos won't show up on screen, I can hear the sound but not see the video how do I fix this?

My movies and music videos won't show up on my computer screen, I can hear the sound but not see the video how do I fix this? I'm not sure what to do as far as turning my purchased movie into DVD goes either. I just want to put the movie onto a DVD disc but my itunes won't even show that I have a blank disc in the drive, I'm not sure what is wrong or how to fix this, any help at all would be much appreciated.

Hi @anthony7722 ,
Thank you for your query, I will do my best to help!
I grasp that you uninstalled the Intel graphic driver and the catalyst control. You reinstalled the Intel driver and now you can view and hear videos on the Internet but you are unable to set the resolution as high as previously.
When I checked the specifications for your notebook I see that you have switchable graphics.
Here are two links that I believe will help.
Overview of Switchable Graphics or Dual GPUs
Switchable Graphics on Notebooks Configured with Intel and ATI GPUs
Here is a link to HP Pavilion dv7-6150eb Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers
Please try this process.
1. Download the chipset driver, and both graphic drivers and save them but do not install them yet
2, Delete the chipset driver and install the updated one.
3. restart your notebook
4.Delete the Intel driver and install the updated one
5. restart your notebook
6. Delete the AMD driver and install the updated driver.
You should now have a Catalyst Control Center.
This should now allow you to use the higher graphic card which should support the higher resolution.
I hope this helped.

Cannot play purchased movies or music videos on ATV3 via AirPlay

Music, photos, and mirroring work fine. When I try to play purchased movies and music videos from iTunes, I get "Operation could not be completed -3". Everything is updated to the latest iOS. The router is a Belkin N450DB wireless on factory settings. This location also does not have internet, just the home wi-fi network. I have even plugged the ATV into the router via ethernet and still no video. I have tried and gotten the same results with iPhone 4s, iPad 3, PC laptop with iTunes with same Apple ID as ATV.
If it makes a difference, I setup, updated, and added my Apple ID to the ATV from a different location with internet, but moved it after I thought it had been set up. Thanks in advance for any tips, I am clueless!!

Is there a way to make Ipod Nano 6 think that a movie is Music Video?

Is there a way to make Ipod Nano 6 think that a movie is Music Video? That is all I want to know. I can program so if I need to go into terminal, I'm fine...

If there is, I'm sure that it doesn't involve Pages (for Mac OS X), the topic in this community.
The iPod nano has a community of its own, which might be better suited to this question.
You might also want to check out the Apple Support Communities Terms of Use statement, with particular attention to section 2.8. That could have a bearing on whether you get an answer.

Barry

How to convert .mp4 files that come into iTunes as Movies into Music Videos

I've tried selecting a file and then going into the "Get Info", then "Options" and then to "Media Kind", but for some reason it is greyed out and I am unable to change these .mp4's into music videos. Any suggestions are SO appreciated!!!

Ok, I checked and the file is NOT locked. Any other suggestions? It shows the file as an MPEG-4 movie .mp4, but I just can't get it to change from a movie to a music video so that I can see the artist.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

How can you make the iPod tell the diff between a movie and music video

Greetings!
How can you make iPod tell the difference between a Music Video and Movie? Everything I put up on the iPod falls into Movie. So is it something I have to do in iTunes?
Thanks for the help!

Change artwork for music video

I imported a movie downloaded from a web site. The artwork was automatically generated from a frame of the movie that iTunes randomly picked. I want to add my own artwork instead, but iTunes won't let me add or delete the artwork!

That is the defult artwork. It seems to me that the only way to change the art for videos (like adding the movie poster image) is to have the video in mp4 or m4v format. You can do this by going to Advanced> Convert Selection For iPod.
Once it is in that format add the artwork to the movie by going File> Get Info> Artwork then click add (if the artwork is saved on your computer) or just click the blank area and paste the artwork in (if you are copying and pasteing). Then click OK.

Sorting as "Movie" or "Music Video"

How do you differentiate a movie from a music video so it comes up in the right category in the ipod? i have 3 music videos on there and they all come up in movies.
Do you just do it in 'grouping'? I also don't have any sort of drop down list with this new 60 gig like with the old one (where it has "Top 25 Most Played" and "Top Rated" underneath). Can anyone help me out? Sorry, im a nube and i tried searching the forum for relevant topics but to no avail.

NEVERMIND! figured it out. sorry aobut that.

Importing Videos into 5th Generation iPod

I have a 5th Generation iPod. Whenever I try to import a video, the video imports, but there is no audio. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

What video codecs are you trying to import? The absolute best thing is to use QuickTime and export the video for your iPod. If you use QT and use the File drop down menu and then click on export it will give you that option.
Quicktime or Quicktime Pro (which iTunes uses) don't convert "muxed" ( muxed means multiplexed where the audio and video are stored on the same track) video files properly. It only plays the video and not the audio.
Hence the need for 3rd party software as per Niel's recommendation.

Searchable Movie Previews/Music Videos in iTMS?

Haven't seen any posts on this, so I was wondering if anyone else is annoyed with the inability to search Music Videos and Movie Previews in iTMS? Seems like a no-brainer, considering you can search for previews on the QT Homepage.

No problem.
I'm still a level 3 idiot, hoping to make level 2 soon

Seperating movies and music videos

Cannot hear music when playing movies or music videos

can anyone help?
everytime i transfer a video onto my ipod i cannot hear the music is there anyway of sorting this problem out. Also when i state a file to be a music video it does not transfer onto the ipod is this due to format of the file? I have tried to convert the file so it would go on the ipod but the problem is still the same it will not transfer.

Quicktime or Quicktime Pro (which iTunes uses) don't convert "muxed" ( muxed means multiplexed where the audio and video are stored on the same track) video files properly. It only plays the video and not the audio.
See:iPod plays video but not audio.
You need a 3rd party converter to convert the file with both audio and video.
See this for help: Guide to converting video for iPod (Mac/Windows).
