Downloading Video:  Converting Video (Movie to IPOD)

HELP!!! I am soooo frustrated with Quick Time Pro!!! I am just trying to download a video to my IPOD and the video converts and downloads fine using Quick Time Pro but there is no volume when i open the converted file. I have tried a number of different videos and installing the Pro Key again and nothing seems to work. It is also so annoying that it takes over an hour to download each video!! Before I convert the file the volume is fine.
If anyone has run into this problem, please let me know!!!
Thanks!

I am having a similar problem.
I ust upgraded to Quicktime Pro in order to convert existing video/movie files to either MPG-4, Quicktime Movie and/or iPod format, to play on my iPod.
It seems the conversion works fine, as it appears in my file folder as either MPG-4 or Quicktime Movie. When I open the files (either format), Quicktime application opens but will not play the file. The title of the file appears across the top of the application, but when I click play, the timer and timer bar runs across the screen rapidly with nothing happening!!!
Help!!!!
thanks so much!!
jeff

  • Video Converter + video compatabil

    I have a Zen Vision : M 30Gb and I recently downloaded every possible firmware/application for my player. No problems with my firmware yet, but with an application.
    My main problem is the video converter: I downloaded via Zencast (the newest) a few files with the
    .M4v extension and also a .MP4 file
    Now, I had to convert them because obviously my Zen vision: M player can't play them
    So I open up my newly updated video converter, try to convert these files and while I see the 0% proces thing, the converter just crashes. It didn't crash before (the old version), it just wasn't able to convert any file back then. Not a real improvement but I can use any help =]
    Now, I think .avi files normally work or do you need to convert them too?
    Because I have an avi movie on it and it works perfectly but now it says they're not compatible with my player.
    Thanks if you took the trouble to read this and thanks even more if you try to solve it.

  • I convert (music) movies to ipod and loose audio but picture is great

    i have music video in movie section of my itunes and use right click "convert to ipod" the visual clip is on my ipod but no audio. i have just upgraded my itunes and up graded my ipod software too... can someone help me please

    Quicktime, Quicktime Pro and iTunes 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).

  • Converting QT.mov to ipod on a mac G3 B+W...Get"unknown error (-3000)"

    Hi and thanks in advance...
    I just got an ipod 5th gen and am setting it up with some success... BUT I ran into this problem when trying to test the movie/video function on the ipod.
    I imported a QT mov that I made a long time ago into itunes then tried to convert to ipod and get the error (-3000)
    Any ideas? any help? I saw previous posts re: videora...
    Do I need some other software to convert my homemade QT movs on a mac? What would it be?
    Thanks again...
    R.Andom

    I too am getting the error -3000 when converting video in iTunes but only on my home machine. The 'convert selection to iPod' option works beautifully on my work machine but will not work for ANYTHING on my home machine. I am currently using QT Pro to convert everything for now, but it would be nice to use this option within iTunes. Both machines have iTunes 6.0.4(3) It would be nice to know what the error -3000 means. Trashed prefs, uninstalled/reinstalled. Anybody got any ideas? Thanks

  • Converting DVD movies to iPod

    I have QT Pro. Can I use that to convert DVD movies that I own to my iPod? If not, is there a way to do it?

    I have QT Pro. Can I use that to convert DVD movies that I own to my iPod?
    Not by itself. You would sill have to use additional utilities to rip, extract, strip, and/or preconvert before it would be ready for QT Pro to handle.
    If not, is there a way to do it?
    I believe "You get what you pay for" and so would probably recommend a good multipurpose commercial application over a one of the current "freebies" or multi-application approches. Here are a couple you may wan to look at or trial test:

  • Converting Home Movies to IPOD

    Why is it that I can upload a home movie from my digital camera to my computer with sound and get it just that way into the Library but when I convert it into the IPOD there is no sound? The orginal file with the sound in the library reads MPG movie file (Quicktime, although plays in media player) and when it converts reads movie file. It is enfuriating!

    Thanks Brian, I hadn't realized the only way to get them to play correctly was to upgrade & buy Quicktime Pro. This also helps with MySpace and posting home movies on there as well. So thanks again for the information.

  • Converting a movie for iPod is EXTREMELY slow

    Hi,
    I am trying to convert a movie that I have in iTunes to use on an iPod touch. I used Advanced --> Create iPod or Iphone Version. However, it is EXTREMELY slow. The movie is 95 minutes and under 2GB in size. After 2+ hours of converting it's still only at roughly 30% converted. Should it really take almost 8 hours to convert one 95 minute movie? Am I doing something wrong?
    Thanks.

    Thank you Chris. The movie is not from iTunes. I ripped a DVD using Handbrake to a .mv4 file. I have ripped other DVDs to this format and they transfer to my iPod just fine, so I'm not sure what the problem is... I cannot open the file in iMovie, although it recognizes and allows me to open other .mv4 movies. The other odd thing is that this movie in particular transfers to my Apple TV just fine. Is there simply a problem with the file perhaps? A problem with iTunes?
    Thank you for your help.

  • When I convert a .mov to iPod video format, the sound disappears

    For some reason, I have a .mov file that loses its sound when I convert it to m4v. This doesn't happen on all .mov files, only a few. Any suggestions on things to check for/solutions?

    What software are you using to convert the videos to iPod format?
    If you are using Quicktime Pro, or iTunes 6.0.2 to do the conversion... then that is probably where your problem lies.
    Neither QT Pro or iTunes has the ability to successfully encode a muxed video file. You'll end up with video and no sound.
    You'll need to use some other software to do the conversion. There's a handful of software available. Just search the forums and you'll find many titles mentioned.
    I think iSquint has become quite popular.

  • What is a good video converter - from .mov to .avi

    I've tried researching this topic and I've seen a lot of partially helpful info.  I'll try to be specific.  I'm using a MBP with OS X, and iMovie '09 (version 8.0.6).  I'm trying to convert my edited .mov files to either .avi or .wmv files so i can embed them into a powerpoint presentation for PC.  I am not trying to rip DVDs.  These are interview I filmed myself.  I need a decent (free or inexpensive) converter to do this.  I have tried Handbrake and i only get .mp4 as an format option.  I've also tried MPEG StreamClip but when it converts there is no audio.  I don't mind paying a few bucks to have a good converter, but i want one that will do the job.  Any help or opinions are greatly appreciated!

    For .wmv, you can use Flip4Mac. http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac-wmv/overview.htm
    A potentially free solution is to use regular iMovie h.264 files (.m4v) and be sure to install QuickTime for Windows on the Windows PC.
    If you need to distribute the PPT to multiple PCs, I would go for Flip4Mac.
    To the best of my knowledge, purchasing Flip4Mac gives you the components and codec you would need. Then you do the actual conversion in QuickTime Pro. MPEG Streacmlip might work, but I'm not certain. Worth trying since it is free.

  • I cannot download and convert videos from Youtube using Firefox v31 and Downloadhelper v4.9.22

    This has been a problem for at least 18 months. I receive updates to Firefox and Downloadhelper as they become available and am registered so that I can use the conversion process.
    I've looked through the support pages but they don't help me to fix the problem. If a fix exists I would prefer it to be a "Click this button" rather than lines and lines of revised code.
    Please help, soonest would be nice.

    I can confirm that as of this morning I have v4.9.23 of Downloadhelper. I have manually updated SilverLight, to 5.1.30514.0, and the red warning on the Plugins page has now gone away, I now get an Up to Date message.
    I still have the Youtube problem. I have closed and restarted Firefox but have not yet done a cold boot of my computer.
    I do have 5 unknown plugins that Firefox says I need to research, these are for
    Microsoft® DRM
    Windows Presentation Foundation
    NPCIG.dll (this relates to a Canon image gateway)
    Windows Live® Photo Gallery
    Google Update
    The .dll will have come along with software with my camera but I have not idea about the rest.
    Now whether the DRM is causing the problem I don't know but I am running Microsoft .Net Framework 3.5 SP1 and Windows Media Player 11. For info my PC is running a legitimate copy of Windows XP SP3.
    Thanks for the continuing help.

  • Take too much time to convert QT movie to iPod format

    Hi,
    I got QuickTime Pro and was able to convert avi format home video to iPod (mpg4). But for a 30 minutes movie, it took more
    than 8 hours to convert (From avi to mpg4) and QT consume 90%
    CPU all the time. Is there something wrong with my settings?
    Please advice. Thanks a lot.

    Welcome to the discussions, qiup!
    No, I doubt that you have anything set wrong. H.264 is VERY computationally intensive and will take awhile on even today's fastest computers. It's almost like MPEG2 was 7 years ago when it required a hardware addition if you really wanted a DVD done in less than a day
    As time goes on, the algorithm will get better, there may even be some add in cards that make it faster, but for now, a faster machine yields faster results.
