Create iPod or iPhone version generates all white, audio only video

I have been trying to find any explanation for this by searching here and on Google, with little success.
I am trying to export my movies to my ipod with no success.
I will explain what I do:
I pick a movie from the iTunes Library (it plays just fine), then I go to Advance and click "Create iPod or iPhone Version". iTunes goes through the Conversion process, and after a few minutes (depending on the size of the original movie), I get the converted version, right next to the original one.
This version will be the same length, audio is just fine, but the video is all white (at this point, the video would transfer to my iPod Touch, were I would get the same all white video).
This happens with MP4 files. I followed the steps on Apple Support on how to verify the conversion of files (they provide a MOV file), and that worked fine. I do not have more MOV files to test.
Other troubleshooting steps included:
- Trying with different MP4 files as source
- Trying on different computers (two WinXP PCs with the latest iTunes installed)
- Removing and reinstalling iTunes and Quicktime
Any feedback is highly appreciated. However, I do not wish to use a 3rd party tool to do this (so recommending Handbrake or others is not that much helpful).
Thank you!

I can confirm that converting from MOV works, whilst MP4 does not. Unfortunately, unless you use a 3rd party tool to convert from whatever format they're currently in to an MOV file, there's not much you can do until Apple fixes this problem! :C

  • Create iPod or iPhone Version not working correctly

    When I select an MP4 movie and then choose Advanced -> Create iPod or iPhone Version, the movie is converted and a new version is created, but they don't work correctly. In two cases, the resulting file has audio, but the video is missing (just white). With another file, the video is there but the audio is missing. How can I troubleshoot this and get the videos converted properly so I can play them on my iPod?

    Having the same issue here. With mencoder (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MEncoder) I create an H264 file, after that I create an MP4 file with mp4creator (http://mp4creator.sourceforge.net/). Then I can import the .mp4 file in iTunes just fine, it plays well. But when I select the file, go to menu Advanced, choose 'Create iPod or iPhone Version', the file is converted, audio is fine but video stays white .

  • Error in "Create iPod or iPhone version" take 2

    Apologies: an unfinished version of this question was inadvertently posted a few minutes ago. A slip of the finger. Again, sorry.
    In the Advanced pull-down menu, there is an option, "Create iPod or iPhone version," presumably for making video on the computer playable on the iPod or iPhone. I have tried this several times, but usually, after several hours of work, iTunes comes up with an error message. I have successfully converted two videos, but four others have given me the error message.
    Is this common, or are there some settings I should be aware of? I'm taking a 2200 mile road trip in a couple of weeks and would like watch some "video" that I OWN on my iTouch. Hopefully I'm not trying to do something that will help hasten the demise of the commercial "video" industry.

    I'm seeing this error too. Is anyone else? Any ideas on how to fix it? I see it when I cue several movies for ipod conversion. The process goes through a couple of movies and then provides this lovely error. I can then re-cue the conversion on the files not completed. Stop with another error and repeat. Eventually I get through all of them but since the process takes so freakin long to convert, I normally like to leave it overnight then sync my ipod the next morning. No can do: if it's constantly stopping.

  • Can't transfer movie to iPhone.  Under Advanced tab, does not allow create iPod or iPhone version.  What am I doing wrong?

    I purchased a move through iTunes, but I can't transfer it to my iPhone.  I have followed all the directions I've found on the Internet, but under the Advanced Tab, create iPod or iPhone Version is never enabled, only the create AAC Version is enabled.  What am I doing wrong?

  • HT203180 Why can't I click on Create iPod or iPhone version in Advanced in iTunes

    I tried multiple times but it will not let me click on it. The option is light gray unlike the other options which are black and can be pressed on.

    You cannot mve the songs manually from iphone to your computer.
    The way you do this is exactly what you did :  File>Transfer Purchases

  • After update to 10.5.3.3 Itunes crashes on convert video to ipod or iphone version and diagnostics

    I upgraded to Itunes 10.5.3.3 today since the dialog box appeared and now it crashes when I select a podcast and create ipod or iphone version from the advanced menu item.  I tried running Diagonostics from the Help menu item and it also crashes.  Using IPhone 4S.

    The following is a copy and pasted reply to the thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1581804&tstart=0.
    Your issues are mostly likely related to the issues reported in the thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1542886&tstart=0.
    For myself, the solution was to install an updated version of ClamAV. Since I'd done this prior to the 10.5.4 release, I can't comment on whether an update will solve your issue (although I doubt it would, since the update didn't mess with my ClamAV settings).
    Hope that helps,

  • Create a ipod or iphone version

    I try to create a ipod or iphone version of this movie but when I try the audio comes in fine but the picture is all white. Is there a fix for this?

    Maybe I should add:
    I am using EyeTV (3.1.1) to record TV Shows and then export them using either:
    Format Name: iPod (Smallest)
    Video: H.264/AVC, 320x240, 25 fps
    Audio: MPEG-4 Audio, Stereo, 48000 Hz or
    Format Name: Apple TV
    Video: H.264/AVC, 720x576, 25 fps
    Audio: MPEG-4 Audio, Stereo, 48000 Hz
    All files (after importing them to iTunes) show the same Kind (MPEG-4 video file), Bit Rate (125 kbps) and Video Codec (H.264). They differ in Total Bitrate and Dimensions.
    Nevertheless some of them (regardless of their in EyeTV exported format) cannot be copied to my iPhone.
    As to my understanding ALL MPEG-4 video files should be copied to the iPhone as Total Bitrate and Dimensions should not be of any relevance (I was told iTunes Music Store Files vary in Bit Rate, Total Bitrate and Dimensions and can be synchronized with any iTunes compatible device). Please correct me if I am wrong.
    Thank you for sharing your experience,
    Axel
    EDIT: Using VisualHub I converted a by iPhone not supported file to iTunes - optimized for all devices - and was then able to synchronize it. What can VisualHub do what iTunes is incapable of?

  • Create an iPod or iphone version - is there any way to avoid duplicate files OR automating a new name for the new file?

    hi,
    I have two devices for my videos. An ipod classic and an Ipad. I would prefer to keep the highest resolution possible but also will be travelling and it will be useful to have a large archive with me.
    I have found that many of the videos I have are "incompatible" with my ipod classic and am in the process of using the "create an ipod or iphone version" but this results in a duplicate file in my itunes library that is identical in everyway (except size and this can be bigger or smaller).
    When you buy a HD video off itunes, you get both versions but only one file populates in the itunes libary.
    Is there anyway that when itunes "creates the ipod or iphone version", it can do automatically merge these two files so you only see one file in your library? And then it will automatically sync the appropriate file with the appropriate device?
    Or is there a way to have itunes "create the ipod or iphone version" and have it automatically label it with the name "XXX (ipod version"?
    I am finding it very annoying to manually change all the titles on all the files being created.
    thanks, margaret

    When you open a Word document with Pages you get a translated-to-Pages file & the original Word document is unchanged. There are programs that will save over the original file such as LibreOffice. Pages will not.

  • How do you "Create an iPod or iPhone version"?

    I bought "Daddy Day Care" from the iTunes store, and after syncing my iPod many, many times, it still won't show up on my iPod. It's a 2nd generation, with 3 gigabytes left. Daddy Day Care is only 1 gigabyte. I think it's the video dimensions, as the touch's dimensions are 640 x 480, and the movie is 853 x 480. I highlighted the movie, and went to the top menu of iTunes, clicked advanced, and tried to click "Create an iPod or iPhone version", but it's grayed out. Does anyone know how to fix this, so that I can watch my movie on my iPod? Thanks!!

    You are doing it correctly. 
    See:

    Also do you have Restrictions set that would prevent syncing?

  • So randomly my ipod crashed and when i turned the ipod on again it was all white and blurred. Part of the screen is up to speed but the other half is slow. Already tried turning it completely off and restoring it on the computer

    So randomly my ipod crashed and when i turned the ipod on again it was all white and blurred. Part of the screen is up to speed but the other half is slow. Already tried turning it completely off and restoring it on the computer

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • After upgrading recently I got this message: "The file 'iTunes Library.itl' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." The music/video files are still on my MacBook Pro.  Is it because I'm still on 10.5.8?  How do I fix this?

    For your reference I’m using a MacBook Pro running 10.5.8.  Several weeks ago on a Monday I received an upgrade for iTunes. When Tuesday arrived I attempted to log in so that I could download the latest freebie song(s).  I was met w/this message: “The file ‘iTunes Library.itl’ cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes.”
    The music/video files are still on my Mac (I’ve verified that via Searchlight), but I’m unable to open the program.  Since I know that 10.5.8 is rapidly becoming prehistoric, could it be that the newest iTunes isn’t compatible w/this particular OS?  I’d like to switch up, but understand that the newest OS won’t work on a Mac of this vintage (6 years old).  In addition, my Adobe products (all CS2) won’t work w/anything newer than 10.5.8, so I’m reluctant to go to a newer OS (I just can’t afford the Adobe upgrade $$$ @ this point). 
    Is there any way to get a download of an “old” iTunes version?  If there were, I’d simply refuse any future upgrades until my personal economy allows me to stop working as if it were 2006.  Please advise, somebody!

    I don't know how you received an upgrade for iTunes.  You make it sound like it was sent to you.  At most your computer will tell you of a new version and you tell it to download it and install it.  However, a computer will not do this for a version which is incompatible.  iTunes 10.7 came out a few weeks ago but your computer would not notify you and even if it did, 10.7 would refuse to install on your computer.  So this part isn't making a lot of sense.
    Two ways to get the 'newer version' message.  One is to open your library on a computer running a newer version, and then try to open it with an older version.  Usually happens when the library is on an external and used with multiple computers.  The second way is if you have multiple versions of itunes installed on your computer.
    The newest (and likely the last) iTunes for OSX 10.5.8 is iTunes 10.6.3 which has been out for quite a while.

    thanks

    One of my favorite things about developing for iOS using Xcode is the Simulator. It runs any of the iOS devices simulated right on your Mac. If you don't have a hardware device to test your application on, the Xcode simulator will surely be your best friend.
    So to answer your question less vaguely, yes. You can own the iPhone 5s and develop for the 6. There is no real release information of the iPhone 6 at the time anyways, so I would not let it play too large of a factor in your decision.

  • Google app can't play all the audio and video on this page, any suggestions?

    New Lenovo Yoga laptop with W8.1. I have downloaded the google app, and when I search for something and the go to open a video, the flash player doesn't work and I get a message across the top of the window saying "google app can't play all the audio and video on this page"
    Does anyone have a fix? i can only find a fix for google chrome, not their app.
    Thanks

    The "app" from the windows app store called "google search" http://apps.microsoft.com/windows/en-gb/app/308dc145-6851-487d-b83b-1223a3b52dc2
    It isn't specific to search video or anything else, you just type in the search and it finds the answers, but it isn't done via chrome. When the result includes a video or audio and I click on the link to that page, the app kicks up that the flash player needs downloading. I can't work out how to do it

  • Why is my ipod 4th generation have an all white screen or an all black screen?

    my ipod is on but it only has an all white screen or black screen. I'm crying over it becuase i have everything on my ipod.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
