Converting movies to ipod format

anyone know of a good program or way of going about this?

I am using WinXp and was successful converting uncopyprotected music video DVD's using Nero 7. The Recode program in the Nero Suite has settings that turn it into an iPod compatible file (MP4)and it plays on my 60gig video pod just fine. I'm going to go back and slice the video into individual songs though. It's a pain when you're 30 minutes into an hour long video and push the wrong button sending you all the way back to the beginning. Your mileage may vary...

  • Converting Movie to Ipod format thru Quicktime Pro

    I purchase the QuicktimePro Registration key for Windows(XP), to convert movies(mp4) format to Ipod(30gb).
    QuicktimePro DOES NOT convert mpeg-4 to Ipod format, m4v or mov? I know Quicktime pro is only a few dollars, but I spent for something that I did not enjoy. A very useless feature.
    Please correct me if I'm wrong. thank you.

    Hello Sujay, are you a Quicktime Tech support? sorry it was too late when I found out that I posted my issue in the wrong Forum, this is my first time, I apologize.
    Sorry too, that I did not explain in full detail. Yes, I followed the xact instruction in the manual, followed one of the QT-Tech Support, he even gave me a supporting/reading materials related to my inquiry, I have 2 co-workers behind my shoulders who tried to help but no luck.
    My OS is XP, Quicktime plays all my movies(mp4)format without a problem, but when it comes to exporting, (Movie to iPod 320X240)the exported movie is successful but still in mp4 format, instead of m4v I believe.
    Did you have a successful conversion? Can you tell me where my missing piece is, please? Thank you with your full attention.

  • Converting movies into ipod format

    can some one help me my itunes keeps converting movies either audio but white screen or video but no audio..ughh i cant put any of my good movies on my nano just lame ones..help

    Hi There-
    Thanks for the info. I am actually using the Squared5 mpeg decoder. I followed the directions for the fix, but it still gives my the mpeg-2 error. I have tried the freeware "Quicktime Alternative 181" from the apple website and with that, eitrher my itunes will work fully and the Squared5 will not, or if I un-install itunes, the Squared5 will work fully. It's like when one will, the other won't. I never had this problem before, did Apple change something that makes Squared-5 not compatible ???
    I really do not want to sound cheap, times are tough for me and I am trying to do this fix as inexpensive as possible,
    If I buy the 19.99 MPEG-2 playback component, I want to be sure that it is going to work, since you can't get refunds from Apple.
    Since I am new to this, could you let me know what steps I need to do to do this in the right order????
    Thanks for your time, I really do appriciate the time.
    Sincerely- Doug

  • NO AUDIO WHEN CONVERTING VIDEO TO IPOD FORMAT

    This is really ******* me off. My .mov's are being converted via QTPro to mV4 with no audio. Why does this have to be so f*ing difficult? How can I extract the audio and re-sync it to the video? I have a powerbook and have finalcut and logic express.

    There's no problem converting to an actual file that iPod plays, it just doesn't add the audio to the new file. I hear that you have to have the video and audio file with some .movs (possibly with old codecs??) before you convert them to ipod format. So, I have to extract the audio from the .mov (probably with final cut) and then import the video along with the audio back into final cut and then convert to the m4v.
    I just don't know why this process is so difficult, there should be a program that extracts the audio with video to the correct format. I've tried every program and with final cut so far and none of them add the audio to the final video.

  • No sound when converting movies to ipod in itunes

    Ever since i received my ipod i was having problems converting my movies to ipod format. It takes a few hours to convert and then when its done i get no sound (movies are currently on my computer just not ipod ready.) I've made sure i have the latest version of itunes. Other than that i couldnt find any trouble shooting tips. I also tried converting using Quicktime pro. That was just a complete waste of time. It says it converts in about 4 seconds, when i go to open the file its just a snapshot of my computer screen instead my movie. (i go into export, pick the file, then select movie to ipod. also tried movie to mp4) Any ideas on what to do?!?!

    QuickTime expects video files with separate video and audio tracks, but many MPEG formats used a muxed (multiplexed) single track that contains both. Therefore, iTunes & the iPod (both of which use QuickTime) only show the video and no sound.
    iPod plays video but not audio of some exported files

    One way to work around this is to use MPEG Streamclip to convert the files to fix this issue...

  • Problems converting video to iPod format

    So I just finished setting up my new video iPod, new firmware, latest iTunes version, etc.
    I subscribed to several new video podcasts and they were delivered as .mov files. So I right-clicked, selected "convert to iPod" and waited.
    Everything went fine (mostly, one podcast kept telling me the file wasn't found, but I could play it in iTunes).
    But when I tried to sync any and all of the videos to the iPod, iTunes told me that it was in an unsupported format!
    Heck, I even ripped a movie to iPod format (the H.264 codec) with Instant Handbrake and iTunes doesn't like that. Or the video that I created from iPhoto.
    Reading here, it sounds like the only option to fix this is to use iSquint or one of the other converters. That's a real whip, since it sorta kills the concept of "easy updating" that is a podcast.
    Have we just written off the Apple functionality? Is there a way to make it work? Am I doing something wrong? Is there a problem with the iPod?
    Thanks!
    Jake

    I can be of minimal help. Some Video Podcasts are downloaded ready for the iPod (example: NBC Nightly News) and some are meant to be watched on the computer (Example: MacBreak).
    I personally use Quicktime Pro for converting movie files to the iPod. Quicktime Pro has an "Export for iPod" option that has, of course, worked flawlessly. The reason I say minimal help is that you'd have to purchase Quicktime Pro for $30 or whatever the cost is these days. Another advantage is that it'll play your videos fullscreen. Which isn't necessarily a good thing though depending on the video quality.
    I personally haven't converted any non-iPod Video Podcasts but this is how would probably do it. Drag it out to your Desktop; open it in Quicktime; Export for iPod and save to your Desktop; Drag the new iPod friendly Video back into iTunes. Could be a better way but that'd work and be my first attempt.

  • How to convert rm to ipod format....

    hey guys,
    im not able to convert rm to ipod format. tried out jodix converter. its asking for codecs. if any codecs plz post it here, and pleasesuggest any good converter
    thz in advance

    http://www.any-video-converter.com/any-video-converter-free.exe
    Any Video Converter 2.5.2 is free and can convert RM to iPod format.
    Just select the "Mobile Phone/Device" option when selecting the destination video format, set the audio option to AAC and manually change the video size to 320x240.
    (The Professional version costs money and has an iPod format built in, but the above link is for the free version which does exactly the same if you set it like I explained above.)

  • Convert existing QuickTime movies to iPod format

    Is there a way to convert an existing QuickTime movie (480 x 360) into an iPod compatible format (320 X 240)? Can I use QuickTime Pro to do this?
    Thanks

    Is there a way to convert an existing QuickTime movie (480 x 360) into an iPod compatible format (320 X 240)? Can I use QuickTime Pro to do this?
    Yes and yes. However, be advised that there are potential problems in different work flows.
    If this is a 4:3 aspect ratio 480 x 360 H.264/AAC source file, then simply use the QT Pro "Show Movie Properties" option to set the video display to 320 x 240 (or set width to 320 while "Preserve Aspect Ratio" option is set) and then export the file using the "Movie to iPod" option. This will create an H.264/AAC stereo 320 x 240 file with an average combined data rate in the 800-850 kbps range. On the other hand, if the source file is an MPEG-4/AAC with an aspect ratio other than 4:3, then you must manually set the width to 320 and the height to the correct aspect ratio with the "Preserve Aspect Ratio" option turned off. (Seems that the new LC profile does not take the 480 iPod MPEG-4 "special case" display capability into account during conversions.)
    If the LC profile is not required, simply use the QT Pro "Movie to MPEG-4" export option and set the target display as required for rendering at the correct aspect ratio for the iPod in the baseline profile. This work flow is preferred where limited data rates, mono audio, or other custom settings are desired.

  • Problems in converting video in ipod format using quicktime pro...read me!!

  • Converting Movie for iPod

    So, I have an .MPG file that i want to work on an ipod... but when i do the whole Advanced > Convert Selection for iPod thing which turns it in to an .MP4 file... the sound of the movie goes away.
    Is there a way to fix it so it doesnt... or is there another MPG > MP4 editor out there?

    If you need help first you'll need to explain a few more things. What version of QuickTime do you have installed? QuickTime 7.0.3 (which adds export to iPod feature) or QuickTime 7.0.4?
    I've heard some people had problems with upgrading to QuickTime 7.0.4 - namely they lose their Pro functionality. Also what version of Mac OS X are you running is it Panther (10.3.9) or 10.4 Tiger? How old is your Mac? Is it one of the Intel based Macs released at MacWorld '06 or an older PowerPC based one?
    Also what version of iTunes are you running? (This is important) iTunes 6 and higher requires QT 7.0.3 for best video playback. Videos I convert to iPod format using QT's export movie to iPod feature end up in .m4v format (the format of videos sold in iTunes) but mine are unencrypted - no FairPlay DRM.
    I am converting my own videos to the iPod's format. .mp4 is another format the iPod can use. If you have ffmpegX (Google it) can convert video to iPod video or iPod TV format.
    My videos exported to iPod format in QT 7.0.3 were originally in .AVI format.
    Export to iPod (320X240) format = .m4v (MPEG 4 Video)
    They work just fine and I have a Mac PowerBook G4 from winter 2003 with OS X Panther (10.3.9) + QuickTime 7.0.3 + iTunes 6.0.2

  • Converting DVDs to iPod format

    Someone please help me! I have done this same search on google and on this apple discussion site, but can not understand much of what is said. I am just not a very technical person. Would someone be able to tell me, in layman terms,how to convert a dvd, like pirates of the carribean or skeleton key,to ipod format.

    Hello Justin,
    Can't really speak for the software personally as I'm not all that interested in video on the move. All I can say is that there have been numerous posts on the iPod forum concerning difficulties with Videora. Whether that's a user problem or a software issue it's hard to say, it seems to have it's advocates and detractors as do most things. Good luck anyway and I'm glad the article was of some help.

  • Exporting movies to iPod format

    I've got an iPod video. I've got some files that are videos and using QuickTime Pro to export to iPod format. The problem that I have is that for a 12 minute video, it took more than 12 hours to get to only 39% completed. This is slow by any standards and virtually unusable. I've running QuickTime pro 7.0.3 on a Windows XP 3 GHz 512 Mb RAM.
    Can anyone help me? Are there any settings that are not right? Or is this normal?
    Many thanks,

    I have had the same 8% problem and when I tried contacting customer support, they first redirected me 3 times, then told me they couldn't help me do anything but install and run the demo movie. I am completely upset with apple on this purchase and it seems nobody has a solution to this problem. The worst part is the fact apple suggests "pro" to convert your files and there is no demo or warning how bad this product is for this. Another program in addition to Videora that works way better is PQ DVD to Ipod Converter. I downloaded the demo and the demo is far easier and more convenient than quicktime. It only costs $5 more than pro too.

  • Converted movie for ipod but no sound!!!

    I’ve finally converted all my music videos to apples “.mov” format since they work great in itunes. However for some reason several videos will not transfer to the ipod as itunes says they will not play. The videos that seem to be working were converted to m4p before converted to .mov. I had no idea an apple file (.mov) wouldn’t work on an apple device (ipod), whatever. So I used the “Convert Selection for iPod” for a movie that wouldn’t work. After a freaking long time, 15-20min for a 4min video, it converted it but of course, there’s NO SOUND. Try and figure that one out. BTW, has anyone ever had their question answered on these forums?
