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.

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 .

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

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,
Carl.

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:

Frequently asked questions about viewing and syncing video with iTunes and iPod
Also do you have Restrictions set that would prevent syncing?

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.

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?

Creating iPod touch/iPhone web sites with iWeb

I have a web site created with iWeb, i was woundering if it's possible to create a web site specifically for the iPod touch/iPhone platform . Or is there some tamplates in iWeb for creating iPhone/iPod touch web sites ?

Here's a site I created with the iPad in mind.
http://ipad.dailynews.webege.com/
I used a template from iWork's Pages.
Then I made a page setup for the width and height of the iPad screen : 1024x768 or rather 768x1024.
The paper size = 28,40 x 34,50 cm. The papersize is slightly larger because I had a background in mind but changed that later.
The display percentage is 100% so it will look the same as in iWeb.
I copy/pasted the objects from Pages to iWeb.
Then used the iPad simulator to view it. Hopefully it's the same with a real iPad.
See if you accomplish the same for the iPhone/iPod touch.

Error while creating stages & Generating a version for MSMP Workflow

Hello Everyone,
I am facing the below error while trying to create stages pertaining to the Z_PATH_2 defined by me.
I have entered the path ID and description , then pressed enter. Thereafter, I am clicking on the Z_PATH_2 row, and click on ADD in Stages section.
Still it gives me below error.
Also, the second screenshot shows the errors I get while saving and simulating the path. Since I was unable to define Z_PATH_2 stages, I considered GRAC_Default path.
Kindly help in this. I am sure I am missing something .
Screenshot 1:
Screenshot 2:
Thanks much in advance,
Regards,
Shruti

Hi Shruti
What changes beyond MSMP custom path Z_PATH_2 have you done in the MSMP?
ERROR LOG
Database Table GRFNMWCDAGNT - record not found (key: SAP_GRAC_AR/MANAGER)
Checking defintion of Agent 'Manager (Process Type SAP_GRAC_AR/Manager)
AGent ID 'MANAGER' is not requested for purpose 'Approval', 'agent purpose ='
Can you also have a look at your agent configuration for MANAGER as I suspect have it set for notification. If you are using the agent for both approval and notification then you must have two agents with the same rule.
I recommend you delete the Z_PATH_2 and generate MSMP to ensure all other errors are fixed. Exit out completed to refresh buffers and then re-launch MSMP. Try to add the Z_PATH_2 again
You can also execute MSMP in SAPGUI power mode via transaction GRFNMW_CONFIGURE to check the table configuration. Be careful what you maintain here, however, sometimes you need to come in here and fix values before switching back to MSMP screen to fix issues.

How do i create an ipod/iphone version of my videos in the new itunes?

In the new version of iTunes, there is no "advanced" drop-down menu, where i can click "create ipod/iphone version" to convert the selected video into a format compatibe with my 4th gen. ipod touch. The videos are already in a mp4 format, but won't sync > itunes just says they're not compatible my ipod. I have also noticed that all the videos added to my library after the update, are being copied to "Home Videos" and the usual file location.

Select the video. Then:
File menu -> Create New Version -> Create iPod or iPhone Version
Regards.
