Converting videos in iTunes to play on iPod 5G

I searched some answers about converting videos to play on my ipod touch 5G. I used Any Video Converter and it reduced my video to play on my iPod, but it seemed to distort the video. I used the highest resolution. I downloaded HandBrake, but I need to read the manual for it does not seem as easy as AVC.
I could swear in the past I was able to play my large video within iTunes and convert in into a smaller video, but I no longer see that option in any menus.
Am I missing something?
Any hints?

I use HandBrake., It has preset outputs for iPod.iPhone and iPad too.
Also see the following. There an option in iTunes to convert for iPhone/iPad.

  • Movie downloaded from itunes not playing on ipod video

    I bought a movie off of itunes and downloaded it to my ipod video. But the movie won't play on my ipod. It plays perfectly fine on my computer. Why isn't playing on my ipod video? Is there something i have to do first before videos are able to play on my ipod?

    Is it one film or all of them? I'm having a similar problem where this one film I accidentily deleted that used to play got reloaded and now plays fine on my computer but won't sync onto my iPod. Everything's checked off and ready to go on my computer, but when I sync the film simply isn't there.

  • Can't load/import converted video into itunes for sync

  • Converted video in iTunes but it won't sync to iPad

    Usually, I convert videos for my iPad or iPhone using Toast and it works fine. Today, I had an mp4 video and I just dropped it into iTunes where it will play there just fine. However, it will not sync to my iPad. So, I went into the iTunes Advanced menu and had iTunes convert it for the iPad. Even that video will not sync to my iPad. I don't get it. I just converted it with Toast and now it will go on my iPad thru iTunes. I don't get why it doesn't work when iTunes converts it.

    Video is a pretty complicated subject.  I take it this video wasn't from your normal source so who knows what combination of audio and video codecs were made to produce the thing.  I also don't know how iTunes processes video.  Some converters can just pass through components and not really re-code them, and maybe iTunes did that to something that to something that really needed re-coding.  Maybe you'll find tips at:

  • Purchased videos and music not playing on ipod

    i purchased some music and videos, while using my wifes powerbook g4, loaded them onto my ipod (which i had setup using my pc) now i see the music and videos and when i try playing them the music shows up then goes to the next song. the videos just go to a black screen.
    now i have loaded my cd's onto my wifes powerbook and have been able to play them on my ipod no problem. just the purchased music/videos from itunes, is not playing
    what did i do wrong.

    Did you update the firmware on the iPod? Supposibly if fixes a few bugs.

    If you didn't then try that. Believe me your problem is not with not using that CD as I never even popped the disk in my CD drive untill after I had updated my iPod as the software was outdated before it arrived at my house.

  • Error while converting video in iTunes

    So, I'm trying to convert a movie that was not bought on iTunes into an iPhone/iPod version (File > Create New Version > iPhone/iPod) and I get an error similar to this: Error occurred while converting the file "**Insert File Name Here**"  An unknown error occurred (-11800)
    Does anyone know how to fix this? The file is H264 with a file extension of .MP4. Help would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.

    I'm not sure exactly what you are doing or what your workflow is, 2:3 is not an aspect ratio I recognise, but I think if you open your QT movie in QT and set the scaled size (window/movie properties/Video track/visual settings) to a 16:9 ratio before exporting using the movie to tv pre-set, you may achieve what you want.

  • I need help getting this video into itunes and on my ipod.

    i don't know if this is possible...
    the band the films have a new music video "black shoes" on their website. www.the-films.com i got it on my computer and it plays as a movie in quicktime, but i can't figure out how to get it into itunes and on my ipod, if that's possible. i tried to open it in imovie and i couldn't get that to work either. any help would be awesome. thanks.

    To get it into iTunes go to file-->add to library and find the file.
    Try opening quicktime and open the file. Does it play there? It has to be able to play in QT otherwise iTunes will not accept it.

  • MPEG-3 video files won't play in iPod

    Hi everyone,
    I'm having a problem with a few of my iPod video files. They play fine in iTunes when my iPod is connected, but only the audio plays on the iPod itself. They all used to have the TV icon next to their titles, but now they don't anymore. I would reload the files, except that I mistakenly deleted them from my iTunes library. Any advice?

    You know, I misspoke when I typed MPEG-3. They're MP4 video files. I actually purchased a couple of them off of the iTunes music store. They only show up under the Music category of my iPod. Any other suggestions?

  • Converting Videos for Itunes

    I am new to Itunes. I tried to convert a video to put on my Ipod (many videos) but there is no audio after it finishes converting. what am i doing wrong?

    its my understanding that after you converted it for itunes the audio went missing?
    if this is so, then i suggest you use this program:

    with the original file, and then try to put it into itunes.
    ive been using it ever since i got the video ipod and it has worked brilliantly everytime.
    hope that helped.

  • Converting .wmv,.rm files to play in IPOD

    Hello
    Is there any way to convert .wmv files or .rm files to enable to play in IPOD 5th generation.
    I tried all possibilities to convert using the latest version on Itune, but it couldnt be loaded into the Itune nor in IPOD
    Pls throw some light on this issue
    Thanks
    Danny

    Just burn all the songs you want in iTunes on a CD as if you wanted to bring it in a car or something. Just click "burn" in Windows Media Player or Real. So, then you'll have just a regular audio CD like any other you may have burnt. iTunes will treat it as just a regular CD and allow you to import all the songs.
    If you don't have much experience burning CDs, I can explain that in more detail, but continue to post.

  • Video podcast won't play on iPod

    I know others have had the same problem, but since I'm using Adobe Premiere Elements none of the answers have worked for me.
    I'm a relative newbie producing a new video pilates podcast: http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=218657379
    Feed: http://pilatescenterofbend.com/corecast.xml
    Everything is working with the feed/iTunes/etc except for ipod playback.
    Using the tech specs supplied by Apple I export the videos with the following settings and PE 3.0:
    Video:
    Apple MPEG4 compressor
    Spatial quality: 50
    640x480
    30 fps
    field order: none
    square pixels
    bitrate of 1 mbps
    Audio
    Apple lossless codec
    16 bit stereo, 48 khz
    Premiere elements 3.0 has an "export to ipod" option that uses the h264 encoder, but i wasn't getting good quality while limiting file sizes with that option. And the ipod tech specs say you can use .mp4 files.
    I'm stumped.
    Thanks in advance of any help you can offer.

    I'd like to try to get it right w/ Premiere so i can
    avoid the extra step of QT PRO. That would also add
    another layer of compression, degrading video
    quality, wouldn't it?
    I'm woefully unfamiliar with Premiere. But a Google search showed me that there's an export option to iPod settings. With Final Cut Pro you can export your finished sequence using QuickTime settings, and by choosing to Export to iPod you've got a direct encode from the FCP timeline to iPod-compatible MPEG-4/H.264. Premiere seems like it can do something similar - just one step, no extra layer of compression.

  • ITunes wont play on iPod

    Just bought 6 or 8 iTunes, they play fine on my PC, they will even play on my PC through my iPod, but when trying to listen to them on my ipod, they just kick me back to the previous menu. Answer? Please?

    First, try updating your iPod's firmware; iPod Updater - Version 1.1.1.
    If that doesn't do the trick, try simply resetting your iPod; hold down Menu and Select until the Apple logo appears.
    If neither work, try restoring your iPod (with the latest Updater). Keep in mind, this will erase everything on your iPod, so make sure all of your files are backed up.

  • Converted home videos to itunes not working with ipod touch

    So I finally was able to convert some home movies to itunes but now they will not work with my ipod touch. I get a error message saying "can not be played on this ipod". I also can't get the movies to work with my ipod video (classic) either, how do I fix this? And yes there is enough space for the videos.

    if the files are in iTunes, select one (or all) and choose +create iPod or iPhone version+ from the advanced menu. try syncing the newly created file(s) to your Touch.
    what happens ?
