Downloading hd video for ipod classic

I downloaded some TV shows from the Itunes store for my Ipod classic.  I find out after I purchased them that they will not play on the Ipod.  From what I am reading, it sounds like the HD versions will not play on an Ipod classic.  That seemed strange since I am very certain that I have downloaded other HD videos from the store and never ran into this problem.  Possibly the other HD videos were not 1080?  I also don't recall being given the option to download the SD version and it does not appear that I can go back now and do so.  Any help?

HD videos, whether 720p or 1080p, will not play on an iPod classic. Previously when buying HD versions of shows you automatically also received the SD version, but now only the HD copy will automatically download now (probably due to requests from people who don't need/want the SD version and complained about it being forced on them). The SD copy can be downloaded from your purchases area in iTunes. On the main iTunes Store page, go to Purchases under the Quick Links and then select TV shows. Click the "Not On This Computer" button. Uncheck the "Download HD when available" box and you should then see the SD copies of the shows and be able to download them.
Regards.

  • HELP!!! manually managaing music/video for IPOD classic PROBLEM

    i set my ipod to manually manage music/video because i want to save space on my computer, etc.
    so i made that my setting and i applied it and everything.
    so i unchecked everything in my library. and when i add a song to my library, i check it, so it will be added to my ipod when i synch.
    but when i synch, that particular song that i checked is not added to my ipod.
    what is the problem with this?
    any help is much appreciated!
    thanks

    I think you are confusing the two meaning of manual management.
    When they asked and you said you would manually manage it, you told itunes not to copy things to your device because you planned to do it manually with the computers file browser.
    If that is not what you want, and what it sounds like, you should allow itunes to manage the device, and then the check box thing you are trying to do should work for you.

  • What is the best way to format Videos for ipod touch?

    What is the best way to format Videos for ipod touch? Used Quicktime Pro/ Export (iPhone setting). Videos aren't as crisp as downloaded Videos. Compressors /ipod video Setting also looks crapy (with bitrate med & High). What should I use?

    Visualhub is a transcoder with multiple input and output formats with specific setting for iPod,iPod touch. Costs around $19-used to work great but recently everything I convert suffers audio crash than closes out the player. Hopefully they will fix it.
    Elgato H.264 hardware transcoder is $99 dollars(USB stick that plugs in to Mac)-speeds up encoding of any file quicktime can handle, settings for apple tv, iphone/touch, ipod,Sony PSP. Worth the cost if you transcode a lot of video for the Touch or own an elgato HD tuner. Files work flawlessly and look great.
    Mpeg streamclip-free. Works great, has presets or can customize the output.

  • Converting videos for ipod trouble need help plz

    i always have to convert my videos for ipod but when i do, there is no more sound. how do i fix this?

    Julia,
    You need to format the iPod for Windows use.
    Download the iPod Updater, install this to your computer, restart the computer, run the Updater, then connect your iPod when prompted, then follow the set up procedure.

  • I purchased a Pink/Funhouse dvd, can I download this on my ipod classic?

    I purchased a Pink/Funhouse Dvd, Can I Download it on my Ipod Classic ?

    First try a hard reset.  To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    If the problem continues, try removing the movies from the iPod and then resyncing them back over to it.
    And lastly, restore the iPod to factor settings.

  • Having trouble syncing video to Ipod Classic 160GB

    Hi all,
    Finally moved up to an Ipod after a few too many years with other brands...and am really enjoying the Ipod/Itunes combo for music.
    Video's a different matter, though, and I could use your help!
    I'm trying to get a few videos onto my Classic, and have converted them into MP4 format and put them in the "Movies" folder in Itunes (they show up alongside every video I've shot on my digital camera). My Ipod is set to sync automatically, and does so for music, but not for video. I was able to get the videos on using the instructions I found on http://www.ehow.com/how4925922download-videos-onto-ipod-classic.html , but the next time I synced music on my Ipod, it removed the videos I'd added.
    Is there a way that I could add videos manually, and keep syncing music automatically, without the automatic syncing removing things that I added manually? Or could I set Itunes/Ipod up such that music is automatically queued for syncing, while videos need to be approved for syncing?
    Basically, how can I get this to work?
    Many thanks for your help.

    Hello stopheles,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    How do you currently have your iPod set up to sync Videos? What settings do you have enabled from under the Videos tab for your iPod in iTunes? Specifically, the "Automatically sync (Select Option Here, e.g. all) movies" option on this tab.

  • Converting an MPG video for ipod.. please HELP

    Hello... i'm sorry about my bad english...
    I tried many times converting videos for ipod, it allways convert them and than they become without the sound... someone can help me with that?
    Thanks
    Leo

    Quicktime or Quicktime Pro (which iTunes uses) don't convert "muxed" ( muxed means multiplexed where the audio and video are stored on the same track) video files properly. It only plays the video and not the audio.
    See:iPod plays video but not audio.
    You need a 3rd party converter to convert the file with both audio and video.
    See this for help: Guide to converting video for iPod (Mac/Windows).

  • Itunes converrts videos for ipod but then thay have no SOUND!!! Help please

    Itunes converrts videos for ipod but then thay have no SOUND!!! Help please
    Just bought it a couple of days ago, and its doing this!!! why doed the videos now both on my ipod and itunes not have sound?

    Your source video file is probably muxed.
    Neither QT Pro or iTunes has the ability to successfully encode a muxed video file with audio. You'll end up with video and no audio.
    You'll need to use some other third-party software to do the conversion. There's a handful of software available. Just search the forums and you'll find many titles mentioned.
    Try MPEG Streamclip.
