Converting a movie to iTunes - Help!

Hi! I am attempting to export a movie from Premiere Elements into iTunes in order to sync the movie into an app on my iPad. I have saved it in numerous different formats, however everytime I open the movie with iTunes it is not visible. I am guessing something has been determined as incompatible along the way but can't quite figure out what that is. Any suggestions?

I just finished a mini road test and had no problem getting my homemade .mp4 into iTunes. Let me give you the details so that we can compare notes:
Premiere Elements 11 Windows 7 64 bit
iTunes version 11.0.4.4
Premiere Elements 11 project preset = NTSC AVCHD AVCHD 1080i30
I took the first video clip I came across to import as source media. It turned out to be a DV.AVI Widescreen. Scaled it to the Edit Mode Monitor Space and proceeded.
Export, as per what you tried = Publish+Share/Mobile Phones and Players/Apple iPod, iPad, and iPhone with Presets = Apple iPad Standard High Quality. I did not change any of the export settings under the Advanced Button of the preset.
Import into iTunes from hard drive save location
Library
Movies
If you have been there and done all that and still do not get your .mp4 displaying, then let us ask:
a. what version of iTunes do you have?
b. do you have Windows XP Professional SP3 32 bit or something else?
Please review and then we will decide what next.
Thanks.

How to convert video files on itunes help

how do you convert a movie file using itunes?
i have a movie file randomly as .mkv
thanks!

Well I suggest that you check out the other pages on that site - you might get some info on how to convert - or - do a Google search for a converter program.
In some respects your question is not about iTunes but about how to convert a file into a format that iTunes/QT can play. QT plays various CODECS and there are a number of plugins available for QT to play additional CODECS beyond the standard default set.

Downloaded movies in iTunes help...

Why do my downloaded movies in iTunes stop playing video, but continue to play audio and then go back to normal for a good 25 minutes, then repeat this process. It also will randomly exit the movie and return to my list of movies. It has done this for multiple movies and it is driving me crazy that I can't watch a movie all the way through!! Anyone found a fix for this?

Is this on your iPad or your computer's iTunes (this is the Using iPad forum) ? If you've updated your account to have a new primary email address on it then your computer's iTunes should recognise that you've updated it and you should be able to play them via the updated id (and using the account's current password) - if not then have you tried logging out of your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > Sign Out menu option and then signed back in and seeing if you can then play them ?
If you've bought them via different accounts then you will need to authorise each account to be able to play their downloads. If you can't remember an account's password then see if you can get them reset http://iforgot.apple.com

I am having trouble downloading a purchased movie from ITunes Help

I am having trouble downloading a purchased movie from I tunes It keeps telling me there is an error and to tap and try again but all fails Help

I agree. I don't rely on iCloud as a backup, that is what I have my portable hard drive for. Its 500 GB so I can hold my entire iTunes library several times over on it. I have all my movies on my hard drive, but somehow "The Mist" got deleted off of my hard drive, so I figured "Well, the option to redownload an already purchased movie is available through iCloud, I'll just do that!"
And permissions and download availability have nothing to do with it, the movie's still there, it still allows me to redownload it. The only problem is when I click download, I get that message.
And nobody else uses my computer, but I do have multiple accounts authorized on it. Even still though, I am attepmpting to download it through the account I purchased it under. :/

Converting XviD movies for iTunes

I have quite a few XviD music videos that I would like to import into iTunes that I can watch with Apple TV. I purchased QuickTime Pro yesterday and I exported a couple of videos, one to QuickTime Movie (.mov) and one for Apple TV (.m4v) to see what the difference is.
A 50MB 4 minute XviD clip exported to a 140MB Quicktime movie.
A 44MB 4 minute XviD clip exported to a 74MB Apple TV movie.
My questions are:
Is the quality of the .mov better than the .m4v?
Is there any other benefit (for iTunes or Apple TV) of one over the other.
I would like to group these into iTunes with some organization, but currently they both show up in the Movies section. Is there a good way to organize movies by artists?
Thanks for your help!

You need to do get info while playing each movie ckip and report the bitrates not this info, which we kind of knew - reason: the H.264 could be 5 mb/sec for one and 1 mb/sec for the other, to be clearer. You can report what the AVI is , bitrate wise as well.
Though I think Big Endian is uncompressed audio and may take up a lot of room. The AAC is much more compressed audio.
Use MPEG Streamclip, export to MPEG-4 and pick the variouos iPod/Apple TV presets and make your life a LOT easier and it is free. Does batches of files too. I don't ever use QT itself, as MPEG Streamclip uses it as the engine.
iTunes won't have a problem, if the bitrates exceed the iPod limits they won't play on an iPod. I am pretty sure the Big Endian audio won't at all.
You can change a MOV file to a music video in iTunes merely by changing the setting under Video when you do get info on it.

Cannot delete or drag problematic movie from iTunes...Please Help!

I converted a movie in iTunes and every time I try to upload it to my iPod iTunes crashes. I have tried everything I can think of to get rid of the converted movie. I have tried using the delete button, deleting it from the menu, dragging it into the trash (all from "movies" and the "playlist"). How can I get rid of the movie? I can't upload anything to my iPod until it's gone.
Thank you in advance for your learned assistance!

Click on the folder in the Finder's sidebar or the title bar with the house icon, and then on Music followed by iTunes and then iTunes Music. In the iTunes music library, look for an item created around the time you converted the movie, and move that item to the desktop. If you can't find it in the iTunes library, open the file iTunes Music Library.xml in a text editor, search this file for the movie's name, and then for the following instance of file://. Following that will be the path to the movie; after locating it, drag it to the desktop.

Problem Uploading Converted Movie to Itunes

I have a 30gig Ipod Video,and I downloaded a movie from 360Download,and I then used cucusoft.com to convert it, Now the converted movie is in a folder and I looked on the website of cucucsoft to look for the instructions to then upload the movie into Itunes. But everytime I try to drag the movie file or "add file to library" in Itunes....Nothing happens,I look back into my library and I do not see the movie.
Can anyone help me?

The majority of conversion problems posted here are
tied to videora.
Audio/video sync problems, won't go onto ipod even
though it says it is the correct format, or sound
drops out after a few minutes.
That is bad, buggy software.
People keep pushing the software, suggesting it for
every person posting.
Since it is buggy and so many people have problems
with it and I do not want to keep seeing repeated
questions about why videora messed up-I tell people
to avoid it.
I use to just tell them to google search, try several
different ones and pick what they like.
Now I just push mpeg streamclip to counteract
everyone else pushing videora.
I do this because I care.
I ended up searching thru some of your posts,and I got the url for the actual site,and I have no downloaded square5, BUT NOW....when I try to convert the movie using this format....Its telling me "FILE OPEN ERROR:SUPPORTED FILE TYPE"
Help Me...what am I doing wrong or is it just the movie I am trying to convert?....

Help uploading videos/movies to iTunes

I'm not sure exactly how to add my own movies to my iTunes library so that I can put them on my iPod. I watched the video on the help page, but it just touches mainly on adding music...please help, I really want to add my POTC2 movie on it!
Is there a program that I have to convert the movies into in order to upload to my library?

le sigh...as in the program must have some sort of vendetta against me lol..
I open the program, click the transcode video button, select the wmv or mpeg file, then 2 secs pass and all the program does is create an avs file (avisynth file)...so I read in a post on another site to try and convert the avs file...I click the transcode button, select the avs file, and then after 2 secs no conversion file is made...I have checked the appropriate output folder and sadly nothing...
I have been battling with my dilema for about three days now...you are the first person actually trying to help me so thanks a bunch!

I want to transfer a movie I have downloaded from itunes to my new IPAD. I have been on the itunes help menu, it tells me to look under 'devices' tab for IPAD. BUT there is no 'devices' tab and it does not list my new IPAD. Help!

I want to transfer a movie I have bought in itunes to my new IPAD. I have been trying to work how to do this for 3 days now. I have accessed all the itunes help and forums and wiki online. They all tell me to go to the DEVICES tab on itunes and select IPAD then sync. YUP seem simple, BUT there is not DEVICES tab listed on my itunes and it does not list IPAD. Years ago I set up my IPOD no problem and that is listed, but not the new IPAD. Can anyone help? I would love to be able to actually watch films on my IPAD!! thanks

If you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you can enable the left-hand sidebar on it via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC - when connected (and if your computer's iTunes is up-to-date) your iPad should then appear on that sidebar under a 'Devices' heading :
If you select the iPad on that sidebar you can then use the Movies tab on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to select and sync that film to your iPad's Videos app.
Has your iPad been synced to the computer before ? If not then you might find this page for syncing to a new computer useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

Instead of removing the music from the cloud or the iTunes library why not shuffle your music using a Smart Playlist which excludes the holiday music, or tracks that are not checked. For example, use this very simple Smart Playlist:

I had set up my original itunes library on a pc in my previous home. I have left this home due to a marriage split up and now live somewhere else.

I have set up home sharing, and authorised my laptop. Unfortunately, I no techno whizz, and I'm really struggling now with this.

You need to transfer the iTunes Library from the most recent backup you made before the hard drive was replaced.
You can't transfer the full iTunes Library from the iPad back to iTunes.
There are third-party Windows applications that will transfer data from an iOS device, but they don't re-create the iTunes Library exactly as it was before.
