Exporting videos to Ipod format qith QuickTime Pro

Hey guys,
i just recently bought an Ipod Video, and i use Quicktime Pro to convert videos to ipod format for it. My problem is that the converted video (M4V) never has any audio. Wheather i try listening to is on my computer or on the ipod, no audio at all. Did anyone experience the same thingf? Does anyone know what i'm doing wrong, or how to fix it?
thank you,
-chris-

Open the original video in QT Player and check MovieInfo. If it says the video is a muxed mpeg then QT Player Pro will not convert the sound from such videos: QT Mpeg Limitations
Some Windows users have reported success with this freeware Windows program.

Other report problems so no guarantee it will work for you.

Cannot export videos into iPod format?????

I have Quicktime Pro, and recently exported some 15 video or so into iPod format, then imported them into iTunes for storage on my 60 GB iPod 5G. Imagine my surprise to find the error message that some of the videos, including all but three of the ones I exported,cannot be played on my iPod. I even tried using iTunes to re-export the videos in iPod format, to no avail.
What's the deal? I thought the "export to iPod" option in Quicktime Pro 7.1.2 and the "convert selection to iPod" function in iTunes was so that I could vide my videos on this iPod. Why is this no longer working?????

There are some files (such as MPEG-1 and those with muxed audio) that Quicktime has trouble converting. I use iSquint for converting videos for my iPod, and it works great. It's faster than Quicktime, and it's also free!

Converting Movie to Ipod format thru Quicktime Pro

I purchase the QuicktimePro Registration key for Windows(XP), to convert movies(mp4) format to Ipod(30gb).
QuicktimePro DOES NOT convert mpeg-4 to Ipod format, m4v or mov? I know Quicktime pro is only a few dollars, but I spent for something that I did not enjoy. A very useless feature.
Please correct me if I'm wrong. thank you.

Hello Sujay, are you a Quicktime Tech support? sorry it was too late when I found out that I posted my issue in the wrong Forum, this is my first time, I apologize.
Sorry too, that I did not explain in full detail. Yes, I followed the xact instruction in the manual, followed one of the QT-Tech Support, he even gave me a supporting/reading materials related to my inquiry, I have 2 co-workers behind my shoulders who tried to help but no luck.
My OS is XP, Quicktime plays all my movies(mp4)format without a problem, but when it comes to exporting, (Movie to iPod 320X240)the exported movie is successful but still in mp4 format, instead of m4v I believe.
Did you have a successful conversion? Can you tell me where my missing piece is, please? Thank you with your full attention.

No sound when exporting videos to iPod

It blows! I have bought the new iPod with video. When I export videos to iPod format in quicktime Pro, after eternal times of waiting for small videos, it results that it doesn't export them with audio. Any ideas? Any solution to this problem? How to make it faster? I cant imagine how much it will take if I convert a movie or something... Any other free software for this?
Thank you very much.

Are you attempting to convert mpeg-1 or mpeg-2 in QT? QT does not export the sound from those formats. QT Mpeg Limitations
If it is mpeg-1 you can use this freeware Windows app to convert to uncompressed avi. QT will read that format and will export both sound and video from it. VirtualDub
Open the mpeg-1 in VDub and then use Save as Avi in the File menu to save the new file.
As far as speed goes, you could try using mpeg-4 instead of H264 compression. H264 does nice work but is just plain slow.

Quick Time 7 Pro's export function for iPod format failed

The export function starts to format a video for the fixed iPod format. At 17% of the reformating job, the process stops?!
Does everyone knows a solution for that? Thanks in advance.

Exporting to the iPod settings takes a long time.
Try a test using a one minute "cut" from your file. Time the export and you'll have an idea how long the entire file will take to export.

Trouble exporting videos to ipod

i have quicktime pro and when i export a video to itunes and to my ipod it doesnt have audio. i have tried with different formats as mpeg, mov, but nothing change. what can i do ?

QuickTime Pro can't (never did) export audio from muxed track formatted files (MPEG 1 or 2 formats).
MPEG Streamclip 1.5.1 can export (to iPod settings for .mp4 files) or convert your MPEG-1 file to QT formats.
The software is free. Try it.

Exporting movies to iPod format

I've got an iPod video. I've got some files that are videos and using QuickTime Pro to export to iPod format. The problem that I have is that for a 12 minute video, it took more than 12 hours to get to only 39% completed. This is slow by any standards and virtually unusable. I've running QuickTime pro 7.0.3 on a Windows XP 3 GHz 512 Mb RAM.
Can anyone help me? Are there any settings that are not right? Or is this normal?
Many thanks,

I have had the same 8% problem and when I tried contacting customer support, they first redirected me 3 times, then told me they couldn't help me do anything but install and run the demo movie. I am completely upset with apple on this purchase and it seems nobody has a solution to this problem. The worst part is the fact apple suggests "pro" to convert your files and there is no demo or warning how bad this product is for this. Another program in addition to Videora that works way better is PQ DVD to Ipod Converter. I downloaded the demo and the demo is far easier and more convenient than quicktime. It only costs $5 more than pro too.

Problems converting video to iPod format

So I just finished setting up my new video iPod, new firmware, latest iTunes version, etc.
I subscribed to several new video podcasts and they were delivered as .mov files. So I right-clicked, selected "convert to iPod" and waited.
Everything went fine (mostly, one podcast kept telling me the file wasn't found, but I could play it in iTunes).
But when I tried to sync any and all of the videos to the iPod, iTunes told me that it was in an unsupported format!
Heck, I even ripped a movie to iPod format (the H.264 codec) with Instant Handbrake and iTunes doesn't like that. Or the video that I created from iPhoto.
Reading here, it sounds like the only option to fix this is to use iSquint or one of the other converters. That's a real whip, since it sorta kills the concept of "easy updating" that is a podcast.
Have we just written off the Apple functionality? Is there a way to make it work? Am I doing something wrong? Is there a problem with the iPod?
Thanks!
Jake

I can be of minimal help. Some Video Podcasts are downloaded ready for the iPod (example: NBC Nightly News) and some are meant to be watched on the computer (Example: MacBreak).
I personally use Quicktime Pro for converting movie files to the iPod. Quicktime Pro has an "Export for iPod" option that has, of course, worked flawlessly. The reason I say minimal help is that you'd have to purchase Quicktime Pro for $30 or whatever the cost is these days. Another advantage is that it'll play your videos fullscreen. Which isn't necessarily a good thing though depending on the video quality.
I personally haven't converted any non-iPod Video Podcasts but this is how would probably do it. Drag it out to your Desktop; open it in Quicktime; Export for iPod and save to your Desktop; Drag the new iPod friendly Video back into iTunes. Could be a better way but that'd work and be my first attempt.

Strange Problem exporting video to iPod MP4...

I purchesed Quicktime 7 Pro last night, because I have been eager to put some video on my brand new 5th g iPod. I decided to start with a 23 minute episode of a T.V. series I have on DVD. I ripped it to my hard drive, then followed Quicktimes exact instructions to export it to iPod MP4. I did this at 9:30 AM this morning, and it is now 4:25. The progress bar says it is only 22% done!
My computer statistics; 2.26 Ghz processor, 512 Mb ram and an 80 gig hard drive only filled with about 30 gigs worth of data. It is virus free and runs like a dream, so why is this export of a 23 minute video taking so impossibly long????? Does exporting naturally take this long? What is the normal exprt time of a 23 minute show?
Thanks for any help or advice you can offer, I will really appreciate it.

I too have had this issue. It takes me 45 minutes to convert a 3 1/2 minute trailer. Videora freeware works infinitely better for me because it stretches video rather than letterbox it and it zips through files when converting them.
Hope that helped you out.

What types of video can I edit in QuickTime Pro?

I'm looking to simply cut sections of existing video and save them as a new file. I tried doing this with an .mpeg, but with no luck. Does QuickTime Pro only allow you to edit .mov files, or can you edit other formats as well?

lots of formats, you just have to get the codecs so it can play it.
.mov
.mp4

MOV is a container, not a format (codec). Inside a MOV container is the video file which could be in an unsupported format like DivX, in which case the required codec is needed. Some files that end in MP4 are not in a conforming MPEG-4 codec and they won't play either. You forgot to mention WMV which can be played for free with Flip4mac and exported for a small cost with an upgraded version of F4M.
Users should have ONLY - unless something very specific is supplied with an application - apple's codecs, Flip4mac to play Windows media files and Perian 1.1 to play back all the cruft from the interweb, in their Quicktime folder.

Exporting video for iPod - audio OK but video is "white"

I know this issue has been raised before but I cannot find a clear resolution anywhere - happy to be pointed to the right place.
Some time ago I converted some old VHS home movies to DVD and they play fine. To view them via AppleTV I've converted them to MP4 using H.264/AAC via MEGUI, and they work fine in iTunes on the PC and on AppleTV.
Once they were in iTunes I tried converting them for iPod but the output is a blank white video screen though the audio is fine.
To diagnose the problem I tried loading the MP4 version directly into Quicktime (Version 7.6.8)where the play fine. Then I tried exporting them for iPod and I get the same white screen plus audio.
I've seen this issue dismissed as due to some form of DRM but I doubt that is the case here. The video is my own, the DVDs I created are not CSS protected and the MP4s are also unprotected.
I've also seen it attributed to a missing codec, but that is unlikely given both iTunes and Quicktime play the videos without a hitch.
Any clues on how to proceed?

Last post before I leave things alone for a while.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and Quicktime and iTunes no longer chews up lots of CPU when trying to convert one particular Quicktime created file.
I've also recreated each file again from the same source, the AVI encoded as DV-PAL with screen res of 720x576. I created a series of test cases to try to pin the problem down and I think the best exposition is the following -
The problem
An MPEG4 file exported from Quicktime loads and plays in iTunes, plays on AppleTV and can be converted for iPod.
An almost identical MPEG4 file created by MEGUI using the x264 encoder, latest build 1649, and all the same settings as Quicktime loads and plays in iTunes, plays on AppleTV but when converted for iPod produces a file with audio but the video is "white". Looking at the file size, less than 2mb, it is pretty obvious that the video stream is simply not there.
Clues
Quicktime Movie Inspector reports the screen resolution of the file it exported as 720x540 while for the MEGUI created file it reports a very odd 787x576. Note that Windows Media Player and YAMB (MP4Box utility) both report this same file as 720x576 which is what I would expect as MEGUI did not resize the video. As an aside, WMP and YAMB also report the Quicktime created file as 720x540 so they agree with Quicktime on that score at least.
Obvious Question
Why does Quicktime report an incorrect screen resolution, and is this contributing to the conversion problem in iTunes?
My understanding is that MPEG4 uses 16x16 macroblocks and so the dimensions of anything to be encoded must be in multiples of 16 and 787 is not a multiple of 16.
Of course, the 787x576 screen resolution could be a red herring.
Details from Quicktime Movie Inspector follow:

Exporting video for ipod is making huge files.

I am new to Final Cut Express. I have been playing with exporting videos, specifically for ipod. However, the size is coming out huge. Instead of getting an 8mb file as I am used to in imovie, it is coming out 3 times as big about 24 mb.
I am using the same format, it has to be somewhere in settings. However, QT is not allowing me to adjust the size.
I am wanting to put these files on my .mac site using iweb, so any advice would be appreciated.
