Downloading videos not from itunes

I have a ton of movies stored on my pc for the kids and would like to transfer some of those movies onto the ipad. I don't want to buy the same movies from itunes for the ipad when I already have them.

HI and welcome to Apple Discussions..
The iPad supports only certain video formats, read here.

    2) Logging out of itunes store and logging in again

  • Cant download video podcasts from Itunes

    For some reason I'm having issues downloading video podcasts on itunes although I can download audio podcasts.  I just switched computers and moved my itunes download directory, everything seems to work except Video podcasts.
    I don't get an error, it says done but no download file shows up, it just keeps the icon GET on the right side.

    carlos, I to am having the same issue as you, and it is extremely frustrating!! I can watch the temp file get larger and larger, then once it has finished downloading, it gets removed from the PC! Hopefully someone has an answer.

  • Import of video not from itunes

    I would like to know if and how I could save and see on my ipod any video that I can get not from itunes but from other sites or for instance from a cdrom.
    I thank anyone who can give me some informations about my question.

    The iPod will only accept videos in MP4 format, if your videos are anything else then you would need to find software to convert them.
    There's information on videos here: http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/tutorial/ipgettingstartedt12.html

    How to download Flash videos and play them in Quicktime using Perian is explained here:

    It's the video at the bottom of the page.
    I have also seen this (but not tried it) on another forum:
    Say you want to download this clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ld5j8vSWz7w just put pwn after www
    http://www.pwnyoutube.com/watch?v=Ld5j8vSWz7w
    That might also work on other sites, but I don't know.
    Download in high quality if possible and then you can import it wherever you want to.
    Firefox Download Helper is also supposed to work, you have to be logged into YouTube first.

  • Can't download videos purchased from ITunes store onto hard drive

    My video Ipod already contains a number of videos. However three recently purchased videos will not download onto the computer. Each time download is attempted the following error message appears " There was a problem downloading. The disk you are attempting to use is full. Removing files and emptying the Recycle bin will free up additional space". We have repeatedly checked and deleted any old stuff on the hard drive - there is plenty of free space yet we can't get the videos onto the computer!!!!!

    there is no longer a 20 GB ipod...only a 30 GB ($300) or 60 GB ($400)

  • Videos (Not From iTunes Store)

    I'm still new to iPod. I'd like to point that out right away...
    Well, I tried to put some videos that I had saved on my computer into iTunes, but it didn't work. I pretty much only got my iPod to watch videos, but since they aren't working, it feels like a waste to me.
    If anyone could give me some help on how to get my vids into iTunes, that would be great.
    If you need any other information about my iPod/computer, just ask.

    hello, ipod only accept mp4 or h264 format videos, you will need to have a 3rd party converter tool to help you to convert your own movie then you can put in itunes, see this detailed comparison chart and reviews of the top 5 selling ipod video converters

  • 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).

    Tap the Videos app and tap the movies button at the top of the page.
    The iTunes app on your iPad is just a conduit to the iTunes Store.  To play your purchases, use the iPod app or the Videos app.

    I downloaded two movies from itunes at the same time (both free digital copies from a dvd) and when they finished downloading... they disappeared. I've not been able to re-download them or find them.. anywhere. Any suggestions for tracking them down?

    If you downloaded them on your computer's iTunes then they should have gone into the Movies part of your iTunes library, if on a device (iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch) then into the Videos app - they haven't appeared there ?
    If you downloaded on your PC and they don't show in the Movies section then you could try searching for them by name (or part of their name) via windows explorer and see if that finds them. Or if you downloaded them on a device and they aren't in the Videos app then have you got a film age rating set in Settings > General > Restrictions that is hiding them, and if not can you find them via the device's spotlight search screen (swipe your first homescreen to the right) ?
