No sound when converting video to iPod compatible

When I right-click in video to 'convert selection for iPod' it converts it, but with no sound. My other videos in iTunes (6.0.3.5) play fine and with sound, but not the converted ones. What to do?

I have seen some advice on "muxing" but since I don't have a video ipod, haven't paid much attention.
You might have better luck in the 5th generation video iPod forums:

Cannot add ipod-compatible videos

Hello,
I'm having trouble adding videos to my 30 GB iPod. I've tried adding various videos that I believe to be iPod compatible -- some converted to 320x240 H.264 at 200 kbps/24fps as a .mp4; a few downloaded from sites like Google Video that offer downloads in iPod/PSP format. I always get the error "file.mp4 was not copied to the iPod because it cannot be played on this iPod."
I'm not sure if this might have caused the problem, but I recently changed the computer I am using with the iPod. I used to use a computer with Windows XP, with which I could add both music and videos perfectly. I am now using a Powerbook with Mac OS X. I restored the iPod on the Mac after my first tries to add video on the Mac failed, but I still get the same error. I can add music just fine.
Help please?
Thanks a bunch in advance.

I have the same problem too. I used vixy.net Online FLV Converter : Download online videos direct to PC / iPod / PSP to convert youtube videos into mp4 file and load into my ipod. but it seemed to only play music, cannot watch video at all. please help

IPod Compatible Video

Hey, I have noticed that video content which I purchase off of the iTunes store (featured films) are downloaded in a resolution higher than that of the standard 640x480 resolution required for iPod compatibility.
I want to have the full resolution of my home movies when I put them on iTunes for my Apple TV, but I don't want to have to make a second iPod compatible version as well.
Is there any way to make one video which will have full resolution but can be transfered to an iPod like the content purchased from the iTunes Store?

Well it is like an MP3 or an AAC audio file. The higher the bit rate, the better the quality. But also the larger the file.
Don't forget resolution is a total number of pixels and then simply arranged in different ways. So 640x480 is 307,200 total pixels (4:3). But let's say you take one of the 2.5:1 super wide screen videos and convert it so 752x320. Well total pixels are 240,640 so while wide screen, the total number of pixels is actually LESS than the 640x480 version. So for the same quality, you would have a lower bit rate. Likewise, you could take a standard 16:9 widescreen and make the height not quite 480, say 400 pixels, so your 16:9 widescreen is 711x400 and your total pixels is again LESS at 284k. So you can get widescreen formats on the iPod that have a lower bit rate than normal 4:3 ration videos.
Bit rate is also effected by the quality at which you encode the material and the number of frames per second. You can lower the number of frames per second, to lower the bit rate, but you also lower the quality.

What is the best way to format Videos for ipod touch?

What is the best way to format Videos for ipod touch? Used Quicktime Pro/ Export (iPhone setting). Videos aren't as crisp as downloaded Videos. Compressors /ipod video Setting also looks crapy (with bitrate med & High). What should I use?

Visualhub is a transcoder with multiple input and output formats with specific setting for iPod,iPod touch. Costs around $19-used to work great but recently everything I convert suffers audio crash than closes out the player. Hopefully they will fix it.
Elgato H.264 hardware transcoder is $99 dollars(USB stick that plugs in to Mac)-speeds up encoding of any file quicktime can handle, settings for apple tv, iphone/touch, ipod,Sony PSP. Worth the cost if you transcode a lot of video for the Touch or own an elgato HD tuner. Files work flawlessly and look great.
Mpeg streamclip-free. Works great, has presets or can customize the output.

Converting Video from Divx format to itunes

How do I import video in a divx format to itunes? I tried the way it says in the online instructions but i can't even import it to convert it over to itunes.

I don't have a "File > Add File to Library" command in my list in my Finder. I have not been able to get iTunes to even acknowledge that I have a .wma file to convert in any way shape or form. I know it's not protected. The demo version of EasyWMA is able to make the first 15 seconds into .mp3, and it only works with unprotected files, too. What am I missing on iTunes?

Cannot export videos into iPod format?????

I have Quicktime Pro, and recently exported some 15 video or so into iPod format, then imported them into iTunes for storage on my 60 GB iPod 5G. Imagine my surprise to find the error message that some of the videos, including all but three of the ones I exported,cannot be played on my iPod. I even tried using iTunes to re-export the videos in iPod format, to no avail.
What's the deal? I thought the "export to iPod" option in Quicktime Pro 7.1.2 and the "convert selection to iPod" function in iTunes was so that I could vide my videos on this iPod. Why is this no longer working?????

There are some files (such as MPEG-1 and those with muxed audio) that Quicktime has trouble converting. I use iSquint for converting videos for my iPod, and it works great. It's faster than Quicktime, and it's also free!

Exporting videos to Ipod format qith QuickTime Pro

Hey guys,
i just recently bought an Ipod Video, and i use Quicktime Pro to convert videos to ipod format for it. My problem is that the converted video (M4V) never has any audio. Wheather i try listening to is on my computer or on the ipod, no audio at all. Did anyone experience the same thingf? Does anyone know what i'm doing wrong, or how to fix it?
thank you,
-chris-

Open the original video in QT Player and check MovieInfo. If it says the video is a muxed mpeg then QT Player Pro will not convert the sound from such videos: QT Mpeg Limitations
Some Windows users have reported success with this freeware Windows program.

Other report problems so no guarantee it will work for you.

IPod Compatible Video Podcast?

Would anyone out there who is lucky enough to own a Video iPod be willing to test the videos on my Video Podcast for compatability?
I have compressed the videos so that they should be compatible but I have received a report that they do not play on the iPod. If this is true, I will need to fix whatever the problem is.
Thank you for your help. My Video Podcast can be found at: http://www.indiecinema.org

I downloaded your movie "Mandy" and and tried to load it to my ipod. It didn't. When I looked at the movie properties in Quicktime the video kb rate was 661kb a sec, and the audio was acc 44.1. I'm guessing that the sum total added up to more that 768 kb a sec which seems to be the magic number with the video ipod.
there's a real easy way to export ipod compatible videos for those of us who don't know how to balance all of the different parameters of video editing. Even if you do, there real easy to use and work in the background while you go do other stuff on your computer.
If you're ripping a DVD for your ipod. go to this site and download HANDBRAKE.
http://handbrake.m0k.org/
it's a great little shareware tool for ripping DVD's to your library. When you've got that done go to this next site and follow the instructions for using handbrake to make ipod compatible video.
http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/tutorials/dvd-to-ipod/index.shtml
if you're ripping an individual file that you created... go get this other little piece of software....
iSquint
http://www.isquint.org/
Works great, "brain dead" easy to use, faster than quicktime
Again, use these pieces of software for stuff that you've purchased or created. They work great.
Hope this helps.

Can't synch videos to ipod

i have a 5th gen ipod, i recently switched computers from windows to a mac. I've synched my music and photos, however my ipod won't recognise mp4 films other than the ones i've purchased from itunes. Does anyone know how to resolve this ?. Thanks.

This usually means that either the file is not in the proper format (MPEG4/AAC LC or H.264/AAC LC) or that the format is not in complicnce with the limitation of the iPod player for the correct format. Try opening the file with the QT Player and check the format using the "Show movie info" and/or "Show movie properties" option. If not in the correct fomat, then use a converter to to make your movie iPod compatible. (The specific application to do this will depend on your OS, the source format, and your willingnes to go with free/commercial software.) If the movie is already supposed to be in an iPod compatible format, then the usual problem is one of your video data rate peaking above the limitation of the iPod to play it. In this case you can try lowering your target video data rate or switch to a single pass conversion mode which tends to "clip" such peaks more effectively.

Copying video to ipod

OK---I have done what I feel is a relatively thorough search for my issue, and I did find a thread where someone asked the exact same question I have, but there was never a reply. That post was about a month ago, I believe.
I'm running WinXP Pro on a P4 2.81GHz HT, 1.0GB RAM, 400 GB HD, Asus P4P800S motherboard.
I have the 60GB video ipod
I have the newest Itunes software, but I have not upgraded to the 1.1 ipod update that everyone keeps mentioning---I am still 1.0
I have quicktime pro 7.0.4, and also a program called xilisoft mp4 converter---that can take files, and as one of the options, convert them to something that supposedly can be read by the ipod (which, I've found, isn't the case---but it allows quicktime and itunes to convert to a format that should be able to copy to the ipod. I might note that some of the video files (many in divx format, .mpeg)--and these files often will not open in quicktime---thus I used xilisoft's program to convert them to a format quicktime can work with.
The problem I have is that sometimes, some videos after converting, when I try to copy them from the video folder to my ipod, I get the error that it can't be copied b/c it can't be played on my ipod---even though I converted the videos using the exact same settings for other videos that work fine.
I also tried using itunes' video conversion tool (convert selection for ipod, and then try to copy over the converted file, but same problem). The only format that my player seems to want to accept is .m4v, and even when I encode (as mentioned above) a few files using the exact same settings that worked for the others, I still get the error.
Please share your thoughts on this.
Thanks

Hi CMount, give this program a try. It's my main support column for video conversion for the IPOD. Download the trial. Get it on line or in one of the places listed.

CANT HEAR THE VIDEOS ON IPOD

With quicktime 7 pro I change the file to .m4v but now that finally download the videos to the ipod i cant hear them!! and i cant hear them eider after changing the file. please help me, i can see them but cant hear them

Your source files are probably one of the "muxed" types -- with audio and video information interspersed in a single data stream. You will need a converter that is MPEG based to transcode the file to an intermediate format which contains separate audio and video information. Then this intermediate file can easily be converted to iPod compatible file by most "common" file type converters. Some applications with perform this double-conversion in a seamless process, but most of these types are not free.

Can't synch video files, video podcasts or convert iTunes video to iPod vid

I don't know what has changed recently - I don't recall a new version of iTunes being installed but I am on iTunes 9.1.0.79 under WindowsXP.
I am no longer able to synch video podcasts which have been downloaded via Juice and video from iTunes-subscribed podcasts which were both in the right format and synching happily before whatever it was that changed, changed.
In addition, I cannot right-click and convert video to iPod format - that option isn't there. It has either gone (boo) or the video IS in iPod format in which case why isn't it synchcronising?
I've spent many hours now trying to work out what's changed, gone wrong, what kind of settings need to be changed to get back to where I was.
HALP!

I'm having the same issues! I used to be able to convert video, but that option is no lnoger there. My video is in a Quicktime format(which I thought was supposed to be compatible with itunes anyway) and it won't play.
And since when aren't you allowed to email customer support?? They want me to pay a min of $29 to have an analyst call me at my convenience? Bunch of greedy bastards!
