Downloading TV Shows to VIdeo IPOD

I downloaded some tv shows through a tv tuner onto my hard drive. I also purchased Quick Time Pro and have it installed on my desktop. Somehow, while fiddling around with the tv videos, I got them into itunes. The videos play in itunes, but I cannot get them downloaded to my ipod. How did the videos get into itunes and how can I get them into my ipod? I purchased some video from itunes and they work perfectly on my ipod.

I'm not too sure why but I think iTunes (video) is featured to be able to playback most of quicktime format videos. Handy for most but lil confusing for new ipod users. Meaning you're able to store any quicktime videos in iTunes for instant playback on desktop. But for iPod to be able to play it back, it has to be of a specific format. Either m4v/mp4 with mp3/aac audio with average bitrate no more than 640kbps.
Having quicktime pro should help you a bit with the conversion. In short it can help you compress prefereably higher quality video to the lower quality iPod format and never vise versa. In QTPro, Open the video/mov file that you want to have into your iPod. Then select Export As (Apple+E).... and you will see one of the choices as Movie to iPod (320x240). The rest should be dandy from then on. Import the exported file into iTunes or directly into your iPod's video folder.
If you're refering to wmv video which is played back with quicktime thru 3rd party plugin like Flip4Mac, these are definite no go for iPods which only takes quicktime format.
These advise are all from personal experience. Best to ask the video experts or google-up on video conversion and compressions for ipods. Good luck!

  • Can't download purchased music to video iPod

    I can't download purchased music and videos to my new 30GB video iPod.
    When I try to copy videos or purchased I get an error "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close" and iTunes quits after I close the dialog.
    I ran the iPod Updater 2006-01-10 and Restored my iPod. I can download mp3s and a video I created in QT Pro but not purchased music or videos.
    I uninstalled all previous iPodSetup installations, iTunes, QuickTime, rebooted and deleted the iTunes prefs file at:
    C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\SC Info\SC Info.sidb
    I reinstalled iPod Updater 2006-01-10 and iTunes 6.0.2 and rebooted.
    The problem remains.

    The problem is on my home computer. I am able to download the same purchased music from my work computer. I've not tried downloading it from my home computer while logged in as a different user. I'll try that tonight. The error message can be viewed at http://knouse.org/images/ituneserror.jpg

  • Loading Itunes TV show to Video Ipod fails

    I purchased an Itunes season pass for BCS football games. The pregame content and the the short cut version (approx 20 minutes runtime each) loaded fine. When trying to get the full broadcast transfered from Itunes to the Pod (2+ hours of content) it will stop about 10 minutes shy of completion with error message saying the disk can neither be read from or written to. This has happened 4 times now. i even bought a new song, downloaded it, and moved it to the pod with no problem. I reset the Ipod and it still fails. All software for tunes and pod is up to date. Any help?

    That article doesnt address my issue. In troubleshooting, i went and bought another Itunes song, and it loaded fine. Further, this error occured twice prior to me loading one of the smaller video selections. The smaller file loaded fine. If a purchased video selection is corrupt, how do i get a replacement?

  • How Do I Download Photos to my Video iPod

  • Downloaded songs show on two ipods but not the third in home share

    I've downloaded a song and it shows up on two devices, but not on the third.  Does anyone know why this might happen and how to move it to the third device?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The first thing that comes to mind, is that on the third device, you do not have the option at settings> music> automatic downloads checked.

  • Can I download a free exercise video to my computer (not from Itunes)and then  to my ipod nano, and then show it on my tv, and if so how?

    Can I download a free exercie video (not from Itunes) to my computer, then to my ipod nano, and then show it on my tv?

    If you have a compatible video file, you can add it to your iTunes library by dragging it to the iTunes window, or by using the command
    iTunes menu bar -> File -> Add to Library...
    If the video is in a format that iTunes can play, it should be imported and appear as a new item in the iTunes Movies library.
    It may not be playable on the nano directly, because of its format.  For example, if it's "HD," the resolution is too high for a nano's screen.  If it plays in iTunes, but not on the nano, you can use the command to covert it. Select the item in a list and then
    iTunes menu bar -> File -> Create New Version -> Create iPod or iPhone Version
    That version should play on an iPod nano.  NOTE:  Some videos downloaded from the iTunes Store cannot be converted to a lower resolution format, because they have DRM (copy protection).

  • Why is it taking so long to download a TV show to my Video iPod

    I recently purchased a video iPod and am downloading my first tv show. It's an hour long show and it's been downloanding for close to an hour. Should it take this long?

    Assuming you are downloading from itunes, yes it can, it really depends on several things, the network, your connection speed, your download speed. I have had it take close to two hours at times to download a tv show and at others only about 30 minutes.

  • Downloaded podcast with ipod touch 2g showing like video

    Hello.
    I have ipod touch 2g. When i download audio podcast with ipod touch its showing like it is video podcast. After connecting ipod touch with PC all ok showing like audio podcast. What could be wrong? Sorry if i posted in wrong place.
    Thanks

    I already have the Radio Tiesto episode 110 on my Touch (2G), it does not show as video and when I started it running, it played as audio only, as I expect. So why yours should show as video, I've no idea. Episode 80 of the "State of Trance" is no longer showing up in iTunes, so I'm currently downloading ep81, which looks as though it is an audio file. I'll post again if I discover it's not. I already have ep77, but that's on my Classic. However, in iTunes it shows as audio.
    So, I've no idea why this should be, although as you noted, it only happens when you download directly onto the Touch. Perhaps you need to report a bug via feedback, sorry, I can't find the page to link to at the moment.
    The best workaround for now would be to subscribe in iTunes, let iTunes download them when you are there (but you can set iTunes to automatically download when you are away) and then Sync episodes.

  • My downloaded tv show is not in video

    Ive downloaded an entire season of a tv show, once all episodes download it disappears and they are not in video

    I think I have the same problem as OP. TV shows are not appearing in the Videos app on the iPod. Movies appear fine, but if you only have TV shows, the Videos app appears completely empty. I have to actually type in the search bar to see my shows, so I know they're on my iPod. This is a rather big annoyance, as I don't want to type every time I want to see a show.

  • Download tv shows to ipod classic

    I can't download a TV show onto my ipod classic, any ideas?

    Hello TeresaEH,
    If the show is in HD, you'll need to download the SD version of the show before it can be synced to your iPod Classic.

  • ITunes downloaded tv shows not automatically syncing to iPod?

    I just got the iPod Classic and downloaded 2 episodes from iTunes. I can play them on my computer but when I try to sync everything to my iPod, the tv shows don't show up on my iPod. The only way I have been able to get them on my iPod is by selecting "manually manage music and videos". When I do this I can view the shows just fine. However, I don't want to have to keep manually loading every single item onto my iPod as I get them onto iTunes. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I already tried right mouse clicking on tv shows under my ipod in the devices section and clicking sync and it said my ipod was synchronizing but the shows still did not show up on my ipod. Is this what you mean or are you referring to something else? I can't tell.

  • Download tv shows-audio but no video

    I downloaded a tv show from itunes on my new video ipod. I have audio butnot vidio. I went in to quicktme and updated but how do I get it on my ipod now?

    Hi Dave,
    Regarding the screenshare FLV; this is only present if you have used screensharing in the Meeting you recorded; it is not present by default. How was the video brought into your meeting room, via the camera pod or other?
    Is your Adobe Connect site on-premise (hosted yourself) or hosted by Adobe? If the latter, I can take a look at our logs and see what happened here, just send me a private message with your room URL.
    As for where the Adobe Connect Desktop offline recordings are stored...
    On Windows XP its here: C:\Documents and Settings\user-name\Application Data\com.adobe.connect.desktop\Local Store\
    On WIndows 7 it's here: C:\Users\user-name\AppData\Roaming\com.adobe.connect.desktop\Local Store

  • Can't load TV show on my video ipod

    I just downloaded a TV show from itunes, but my video ipod says that it can't be played on it. what's going on.
    ....yes I'm sure it's a video ipod

    I looked through it, but ONLY TV shows aren't playing, nor will the TV Shows playlist copy to my 5th gen video iPod. Everything else from the iTunes Store (including music videos that came with CDs) is playing.
