Converting Video Problems

Hey there,
I have a video on my computer that is in .mp4 - it plays perfectly fine! Quicktime I think.
However, I move it to my itunes and it starts going hazy, freezes, has a green screen sometimes (visual not audio problem) and when I put it onto my iPod it has this problem too.
Yet normally on my computer it plays fine and is already in .mp4
Any help?
Thanks!

1.try to shorten the names of your video file if it has a long name.
2. please bear in mind the general limits which the iPod carries~
H.264 video: up to 768 Kbps, 320x240, 30 frames per sec., Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats.
MPEG-4 video: up to 2.5 mbps, 480x480, 30 frames per sec., Simple Profile with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats ..so you need to reconvert it.

Converting videos problem

ok when i try to convert a video in the mpeg, mpg, or similar format to a format that works in my IPod, the sound is always missing at the end of the conversion, i've done it several times... with the same result

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...

Got problems when converting video to 640*480 m4v

guys, I got compatibility issues when convert videos to 640*480 h264 m4v.
I tried MepgStreamclip, and the export to mp4 quicktime mov in Quicktime. ALL FAILED.
I followed all these 1.5mbps, 640*480, aac-lc requirements when did the conversion.However, my ipod will not recognize of the files.
I have also noticed that the "Export to Ipod" preset in Quicktime has been changed to 640*480. BUT, what keeps annoying me is the preset is so idiotic!! It ignores the source bps and simply converts everything to 1.5mbps. I got 25mb file after conversion as the source file is 11mb.
Could anyone kindly point out the Right procedure to convert video to ipod format Manually...... I want to have full control when I am doing this.
thanks a lot

any suggestions?

ITunes / Quicktime Video Problems With Windows VISTA

I took up Windows Vista as soon as it was available and initially had no problems with iTunes. Then later, video clips (those purchased from iTunes and those I had converted myself) started stuttering / freezing and eventually crashing iTunes and finally I lost audio as well.
Ayyway to cut a long story short, I have uninstalled / re-installed Vista now about eight times for problems with installing drivers for USB devices (I've finally solved all these problems). After the last install the first program I installed was iTunes, tried video and it worked flawlessly. Then, each time I added a hardware device or program I would restart Vista and retry iTunes video.
The first item I added was a USB thumb drive (as I had on all previous occasions to take advantage of Vista's 'Ready Boost'). The thumb drive is a 'Sony 2GB micro vault tiny', and meets the transfer speed requirements for 'Ready Boost', as soon as I had set the drive up for 'Ready Boost' I started having the same problems with iTunes video and Quicktime.
Removed the thumb drive, restarted iTunes and had flawless video playback again. Have tried this over and over with the same result.
So my question is, has anyone else had video playback problems with iTunes / Vista and found similar problems. Trying to tie down whether this is a compatability problem with 'Ready Boost' or the thumb drive used. I have also tried a Sandisk Titanium 2GB with the same result.
I am not sure exactly how 'Ready Boost' works, I thought it added memory that was used to cache page files to the thumb drive instead of to the HDD making a faster seek /access time? Which should make things faster. Another article I read today was talking about 'Ready Boost' being an affordable extension to RAM, in this case I could understand the problem as I would think the access to a USB 2.0 thumbdrive would be slower than that to RAM.
Any help appreciated, but I guess my bottom line is anytime I want to watch video on iTunes, I just pull the USB thumb drive .
PC Pentium 4 Other OS Windows Vista Home Premium

I have the same stuttering video issues with iTunes and Vista. While I have used a thumb drive to transfer files (not Sony) I have not yet messed with Ready boost. I have seen several others complain about the video problem, perhaps they will chime in as well. Unfortunately, your solution doesn't work for me. I pretty much ignore iTunes, waiting for the next version (only god knows when it will be released).
I do have an external firewire drive connected, I'll disconnect later today and see if that has any affect.

Convert Video Switch in Desktop Software

What happens when I use the convert video switch in the Desktop Software when I am syncing videos to and from playbook. Having problems playing video clips tagged as AVI. Get error message on Playbook when I go to play the clips. Assuming not a true AVI or using a 3rd party codec or something along that line. Will play on computers but not the Playbook. Will the convert video switch in the Desktop Software solve the problem. Tried to use but it appeared to start to "convert" all videos in file to upload to Playbook so I cancelled. Any suggestion? Thanks, Brian

Am I the only one suffering this issue with the video transcoding?

Video problems with 5th Gen iPod

I've got a bit of a problem here. I've got a 60 gb 5th gen, and I've had no problems, thus far. I've got it loaded with tv shows, movies, music, podcasts, etc, and they have always worked fine. However, within the last few days, suddenly my video folders are empty. My movies and everything are still shown to be on the iPod under iTunes, but when disconnected from the computer and browsed, all the Video folders are shown as empty.
Has anyone experienced similar? Is there a way to fix this without losing all of those converted video files? Seven seasons of Star Trek Voyager took me like two weeks to convert!
PC Windows XP Pro

Same thing with me, i cleared my iPod and they went back on. But now it will only play my video podcasts. If it is any other type of movie file it will go to a black screen for about 10 sec then go back to the previous menu.

80GB Classic with music, photo, and video problems

I have had a number of problems since getting my 80gb iPod classic.
1. Music: I keep finding songs that play perfectly in iTunes, but then stop a few seconds into the song when I play them back on the iPod. The first time this happened, I had to delete the song from iTunes and then rip it back into iTunes from the CD to get it to work. The other songs I haven’t tried to fix yet, but, so far, they are all from CD’s and not downloaded MP3’s. I also noticed that they were all ripped from the CD using an older version of iTunes.
2. Photos: Very few of the photos I tried to download to the iPod were transferred. I got a message saying they would not work on iPod, but no reason why. They are just simple .jpg files from my camera (Canon Powershot S3 IS). Most of the photos that did get transferred were corrupt. The pictures were all broken up and colors were switched around. I tried changing them to .bmp files and also changing the size to 640x480, and that helped some of them, but not all. The only pictures that worked flawlessly were not photos, they were cartoons.
3. Video: I have a number of QuickTime videos that work fine in iTunes until I convert them to iPod files. Most of the converted videos showed a blank white screen in thumbnail form in iTunes. When I play them, iTunes only displays a couple of frames, and the sound stutters. They all transferred to the iPod, but every time I tried to play one, the video would crash and the iPod would reset itself.
I’m thinking about exchanging my iPod for a new one, but I’m afraid that all of the problems are iTunes or Windows Vista related, and I might end up trading a good iPod for a defective one with the same software problems.

I did find that if I saved all of my photos as bitmaps, resized them to 640x480, and got rid of the dashes in the filenames, that they would work.

No Audio When Converting Videos For iPod

whenever i convert video files for my ipod they do not have audio. i have tried several programs, and none work. i have read other discussions about this, and found that MPEG Streamclip worked for other people, however whenever i try to convert using this program, it says "Error: Can't Prepare The Movie" Can anyone tell my why i can't convert these videos? i cannot figure it out. thanks alot.

I am not sure what you mean when you ask what the "compression formats" are.The compression formet refers the manner in which the media was encoded and, by extension, how the media must be decoded. I.e., it determines which codec (encoder/decoder or compressor/decompressor) is to be used with the media file.
If you can tell me where to find those i could tell you what they are. I can, however, play the video in itunes, quicktime, and MPEG Streamclip.Simnce the files are playable in QT, the most common place to look for codec information is in the "Show Movie Info" window following the "Format:" entry. E.g., it might say:
Format: MPEG2 muxed, 640 x 480orFormat: Apple MPEG4 Decompressor, 320 x 240, millions
AAC, Stereo, 48,000 kHz
i also am not sure if there is audio in the source file.Do you hear any audio when the original file is played? If not and there is no audio track (or "muxed") information, then there may not be any sound for you to convert in the first place.
how do i find out if it is muxed?If it is "muxed," the format entry we say so. In this case blocks of audio data and blockes of video data are interspersed in a single data stream (track). This is the normal way MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 audio/video data is synchronized. In addition, these formats commonly lose their audio content when converted using QT Pro, iTunes, iMovie, FCE, FCP, or other QT based "frame-to-frame" synchronized workflow. (In the case of MPEG-2 in MPEG Streamclip or QT, the QT MPEG-2 component must also be installed in order to convert the video data alone.)
most of my videos that won't convert for an ipod are downloaded from the internet. how can i find out if they are corrupted or incomplete?Internet files should always be considered suspect -- especially if they come from a peer-to-peer source. Messages that indicated QT cannot open an otherwise fully compatible QT format is often the best indication that there is a corruption problem or that the files were improperly closed at one point or another.
most of my videos that won't convert for an ipod are downloaded from the internet. how can i find out if they are corrupted or incomplete?Normally ypu would post them to a web site or FTP storage area and post the URL. If files were downloadedd from a particular web site (e.g., a QT movie trailer), simply post the URL for the particular web page.

What exactly does "convert [video] selection for iphone" do?

I have a lot of video, both movies and tv shows, that I've used ffmpegx to convert (usually from .avi) to an AppleTV preset in h264. As it stands, iTunes won't allow me to put them on the 3G. (I know some people have had problems with putting h264 on their 2.0 firmware phones, but this question is a little different.) If I tell iTunes to convert the selection for me, what happens? Does it duplicate the video in two resolutions? Will it reduce the resolution and make the video look worse on my AppleTV? Or is it completely harmless?
Also, is there any reliable way to convert video in a batch, perhaps with a third-party program? It's pretty obnoxious that you can only convert one video at a time, slowly, with iTunes.

The iPhone can play these formats:
H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Low-Complexity version of the H.264 Baseline Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; H.264 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Baseline Profile up to Level 3.0 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats.
What ever you do its going to take a long time to convert a large library. Which is why I recommend the Turbo.264. I'm converting a full length movie to iPhone format at 48fps as I write this. Also because the Turbo takes the strain off the Mac I can carry on using my computer with no problems.
