Getting List of videos like in iPod

How can i get the list of videos with proper caption like in iPod app.
Since the videos are stored in iPhone with weird names, how can i translate those names into meaningful names?

Hi Razi-
Basically you need to familarize yourself with the MediaPlayer Framework that they released with SDK 3.0:
http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/MediaPlayer/Reference/Me diaPlayer_Framework/index.html
Specifically you will work with the MPMediaItemCollection Class:
http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/MediaPlayer/Reference/MP MediaItemCollection_ClassReference/Reference/Reference.html
For example code (this one is music, but should illustrate well enough):

Hope that helps!

How do you get the photos/videos off your iPod touch?

Is it through itunes because I can't seem to figure it out. Would appreciate if someone can help me out with this.

I'll solve my own (and others I'm sure) problem. The Appir iTouch iOS 4.1 .pdf manual was of no help as all it says is: "PC: Follow the instructions that came with your photo application." No help there.
When you connect your iPod Touch 4th gen via USB, you should see it in the My Computer list of hard drives as a Digital Camera. You can open it up and see the camera files. Note: This in not the Photos as in the ones you put on your iPod via iTunes. Repeat: You cannot use iTunes to get the pictures & videos you take to your computer via iTunes. Strange.
Also see Apple tech note: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1500 This is how to disable the popup that happens to many when you connect your iPod and Windows whats to know what application to run.
For me, I could not delete the files nor could I Drag & Drop (Copy / Paste) all the files from the iPod to my PC. It would stop transferring data after about 750 files. So I had to find a solution. I searched for programs that supported WIA protocol, which is how files are transferred.
I tried all of the apps at http://www.photo-freeware.net/transfer-tools.php and the only one that worked.
That was Cam2PC. One problem I encountered was that after transferring, it opened a Preview window. Unfortunately it doesn't do Quicktime, so when trying to display a thumbnail view of movies, it crashed. You can configure it not to open the preview window after transferring.
Another program to use is FastStone Image Viewer 4.2. No problems transferring or previewing. It doesn't show all files transferred when it opens it's preview window, notably Quicktime files. It does show screen dumps (.png) files. It is fast, small and so easy to use.
At last but not least, Nikon ViewNX 2 software. It transfers fast, has many options. Just what you would expect from a digital camera company. It previews Quicktime but not screen dumps. Downside: The program takes longer to load than the others.
So I'll be using FastStone Image Viewer 4.2 mostly. Hope the above helps out anyone that had the same problem as I did.

How do I get pictures and videos from my ipod touch to my mac pro without iphoto or image capture?

I have a lot of pictures and videos in my ipod touch and I want to put them into my mac book pro. But every time I connect my ipod to my mac, neither iphoto or image capture recognize my ipod. If anyone has a way to fix Iphoto or image capture or has a different way it would be greatly appreciated.

Try the free program iPhone Explorer.

Best program for getting music and video off my iPod?

My hard drive crashed and now the only place I have a lot of my music and videos is my 160 gig ipod classic. I'd like to get it off my ipod and onto my Macbook Pro.
Thanks

iTunes & Finder might be all you need. Look at the link at bottom of the table in this user tip: Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

How do i get my mp4 videos on my ipod?

I have tried handbrake but the videos once converted look a lot blurry than the original. I have tried Prismz. Itunes does not accept my mp4 videos. I have even tried converting them from quicktime and still no luck. Please help.

How do I get my Ipod to accept that format?
You do not. Instead you convert the videos to a format that can be played on the iPod.

Getting Photos and Videos into my iPod Video ???

I want to used my 60G iPod Video as a mobile harddisk to store my photos/videos I take when I travel. Do anyone know if there is any card readers that can be used when I am out?? I found the Apple site very UN-user-friendly and I cannot locate what I want.

There are card readers for models prior to 5G, but I'm not aware of any yet. They are expected though.
There are readers that will connect directly to your camera and they are compatible with the 5G.
Here's the iPod camera reader (pretty low priced!)

Here's a list of compatible cameras.

Dont understand how to convert my videos to my ipod

ok, i downloaded videora and i converted a short movie. now, i dont know what to do from there. i managed to get it into my library, but when i go to "update" nothing shows up in the video section of my ipod. please help, im going crazy. thanks.

Ok. I am at my witts end. I don't know where to start. This is too complicated. I'll try to start at the beginning. I have the videora ipod converter. I have windows. I was able to get a few videos on my ipod (mpeg) but when you go to "videos" they are not there. They are in "movies." AND THEY DO NOT PLAY THE VIDEO!!! The sound plays, but NO VIDEO!!! Nothing seems to be working. What should my settings be in "convert" and in "setup"? I need "DUMMIES" for IPOD 5G. THe only video that plays on my ipod THE VIDEO is the one I purchased from Apple. The videos I have in itunes play normally, except one, the format is probably wrong. I do have several videos in my itunes but I don't know if they are in the correct format to go to ipod. The video converter says "complete", but it never took time to convert it. I just read on apple's website that ipod accepts H.264 and mpeg-4 video. I also can't seem to get my Limewire videos converted. I have read the previous threads and for some reason I just can't get it. Please, someone give me the BASICS in SIMPLE terms. Thanks

Videos Uploaded to Ipod - But No Image

Hi there,
Another classic question.
I have now managed to get my first video on my ipod, short video clip, and I hear the sound of the video perfectly, but there is no image of the video it wont play, it just shows the video title in the centre of the screen with a tv box icon in the corner.
On a similar topic, how do I get album artwork to show up aswell?
Thanks.

The reason why you iPod isent playing videos is because its on TV OUT MODE....to take it off of this go on your iPod > Settings > look for TV OUT > turn it off....do this and you iPod will display video...
Hope I Helped..!!!
Happy Holidays!!!

I just restored my iphone to be like my ipod and I lost all my photos and videos..is there any way to get them back?

You restored your iPhone with iTunes from the backup for your iPod Touch?
If so, photos/videos that were in your iPhone's Camera Roll should have been imported by your computer before doing this. You could then transfer these photos/videos back to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process.

Getting list of songs on iPod into a playlist on computer

Between my wife and I we have a few iPods and I'm having some troubles getting the list of songs from our iPods into playlists in iTunes because we originally didn't transfer them the right way.
We realize now that we should have created a playlist first within iTunes and then transferred the playlist onto the iPod if we wanted to keep record of which songs we selected.
ALL THE SONGS ARE ALREADY BOTH IN iTUNES AND ON THE iPOD, now we just want to put them into a playlist within iTunes so we can swap out the music with different playlist and still have the option to reload the music that is currently on the iPod on a later date. It took many hours to select the subset of music that is currently on the iPod, so we'd rather not have to start over.
This is a summary of what we'd like to do:
1. General folder on iPod --> playlist in iTunes
2. Erase all music from iPod
3. Different playlist in iTunes ---> iPod.
Nano, Video, and old 10GB Windows XP Pro

I'd like to know that same exact thing. I recently erased my entire system drive and am now re-installing software and updates. I have re-installed iTunes, updated it and copied all my iTines music and folders into it. Trouble is, the laylists didn't come over with it. I've read that two files are necessary for a successfull transfer and re-install of all iTunes stuff from a backup.
1. iTunes Music Library.itl
2. iTunes Library.xml
I have the .xml file but the .itl file didn't transfer over. In fact it didn't backup prior to my erasing my drive. Is the .itl file the file required to put all playlists and songs (arranged in my customized order) back onto iTunes?

CAN'T get videos on my ipod although there on itunes.......

when i try to add a video to my ipod (30GB) it says that some files such as (name here) could not be copied to this ipod because they can not be played on this ipod what do i do??? im totally lost help anyone someone.. thanks in advance!!

First of all, are your video files .mp4 files? If not you can do one of two things. One, you can buy or download and conversion program, or two, you can cheat and do what I did. (If you run on windows xp)
1. Save the files on your computer somewhere. If it is more than one file, save all of the files in a new folder.
2. Go to my computer and find your files.
3. Rename them so that you know what order they go in (most of the time if you get the files off of a DVD you have somewhere around 50 files that say Titleo1_01Chapter01, or something like that) and make sure that at the end of the name you put .mp4 ex) The Phantom of the Opera.mp4
You may loose some of the quality, but since it will be playing on a small screen, you won't notice it very much.
4. Go to itunes and click on your ipod in the source list.
5. Check “Manually Manage Music and Videos”. (If you haven't updated yet, right-click on your iPod in the source list, and select Preferences. Then go to the iPod tab, and select “manually Manage Music and Videos.”)
6. Click movies in the source list.
7. Click file, and select "add file" or "add folder". This depends on whether it is a bunch of files in a folder, or one file.
8. Now the file/files should be appear in the movie tab. Drag and drop it/them onto your iPod.
NOTE: YOU HAVE SELECTED MANUALY MANAGE MUSIC AND MOVIES. THIS MEANS THAT YOU MUST EJECT YOUR IPOD BEFORE DISCONECTING IT. To do this click the eject icon next to your iPod in the source list.

Getting videos onto my ipod

i've downloaded quite a few tv shows from the iTunes music store and want to be able to watch them on my iPod, but every time i try to update my iPod, they don't appear on there. I've tried changing the settings around but nothing has worked so far. any suggestions?

umm im not sure if this is still the case, but for some reason the ipod doesnt have a "tv shows" section. when i tried to put some tv shows that i had downloaded onto my ipod, they would just disappear--theyd be in my ipod, but id have no way to access it because no "tv shows" list would show. i fixed this by going into my itunes, finding the video in my library, right clicking it and selecting "get information," or something like that. from there, one of the tabs should have a place where you can select what to categorize your video under like "tv show, music video, movie" etc. i just change all my tv shows to movies, then make a playlist of them and drag the entire playlist into my ipod. after that, they should show up in your ipod.

I downloaded a WMA audiobook from library using Overdrive. It shows up on my Itunes listing of Audiobooks on my Ipod, but on the actual Ipod it only shows up on Playlists. How do I get it to show up under Audiobooks?

I downloaded a WMA audiobook from library using Overdrive. It shows up on my Itunes listing of Audiobooks on my Ipod, but on the actual Ipod it only shows up on Playlists. It is marked as an audiobook in Options | Media Kind. It is also marked to Remeber Position, but it does not do that. How do I get it to show up under Audiobooks and remember the position? I have a 4th Gen Ipod running Ios5

Check out the instructions for a work around on this post: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18702732#18702732
This worked for me. I would like to see Apple fix this issue, as it isn't very fun to have to do this for every downloaded book.

STILL can't get Videos into 5G iPod , Ready to throw it out the window

I'm ready to throw this iPod out the window , I spent all day yesterday over 10 hours , trying to get videos onto my iPod , my iPod software and iTunes are up tp date , first I just drag and dropped them as MPEG no luck iTunes recognized and played them but wouldn't let me drag and drop them to the iPod then I used iSquint , it converted them to MPEG 4 , they transferd into iTunes and played but not the iPod I got an error that they weren't transferable and not recognized by the iPod .
I called Appe this morning and they were no help since I didn't get the Vid's from the appple store and since you only get one free service call ,and wouldn't tell me the format for the videos I didn't want to waste it . They suggested I buy Quicktime Pro .
Then I tried , Movies For My iPod . I used the transfer for iPod option , it converted them to .mp4.m4v . I drag and dropped them directly to the iPod no luck , they're there but wont play or show up in the iPod then I opened up iTunes and drag and droppped them into iTunes again played in iTunes not transfered to the iPod although it said it was updating .
Then ,I tried the custom settings file format MP4 , video format , MPEG-4 Improved , Image Size 320 X 240 QVGA , again I tried to drag and drop them onto the iPod still not there , now I tried to drag and drop unto iTunes , again they're there and play but won't show up on the iPod . I've pretty much had it .
In the Movies For MY iPod they're are some custom settings . File Format MP4(ISMA) In the Video there is an MPEG-4 Improved setting with a bit rate of 256 kbits/sec Image size 320x 240 QVGA frame rate 30 plus alot of other settings which I have no idea what they are .
Today I have 6 hours of frustration into this still no luck . I'm really disappointed with Apple ,I started out with the first iMac a Bondi Blue and have been working my way up , I have an iBook , an iMac Graphite , a G4 iMac a 15G 3G iPod now the 5G iPod . Apple should have included Quick Time pro in the G5 , and only one support call, come on , even Dell gives you a year of support .
And to top it all off the Black is beautiful but scratches easily , I'm a chef , my nails very short and allready it's scratched to bits by the wheel, I keep it in a case when I'm playing it , you can hardly touch it . I'm not very happy with Apple and this iPod , they rushed it out for the holiday , so if your in the jacksonville Florida area look for a flying iPod .

Lets run down a list of possibilities:
1) You are using iTunes 6 here, correct?
2) You did not say whether or not you are running in auto-sync, manual management, or "Enable Disk" mode. If you left it in the default mode as installed (auto-sync), then after dropping your movies into iTunes (or adding them to the Library), simply connect your iPod and allow it to auto-sync (mirror) the current contents of iTunes. (You can also try "Update iPod" option under the File menu, but I have found it unreliable -- possibly owing to "sleeping" iPod.)
3) Not sure if your reference to "dropping the movie on the iPod" is a reference to the iPod desk icon in manua/disk enabled mode or the iPod "Source" reference/associaed contents list in iTunes. Could you clarify where you are attempting to "drag 'n drop" and/or the selected sync mode of operation in your iPod Preferences.
4) As to conversion to iPod compatible formats, recommend you stick with MoviesForMyPod and/or iSquint if you are restricted to QT Pro 6 and not sure what settings to use for MPEG4 preset collection/QuickTime Movie full manual mode.

I have an older IPOD that I'm having trouble getting new purchases on to my IPOD. I use to have a source list on the left hand side of screen where I dragged my purchases to and they downloaded. Can't find place to check manual vs. auto sync.

I have an older IPOD classic that I'm having trouble getting new purchases from library to IPOD. I use to have a IPOD icon in the source list on the left side of the screen. Now that is all gone. My purchases are coming up as recently purchased but can't figure out how to get them transferred to IPOD. I also can't find how to confirm setting is for manual not auto sync as the first computer I had blew up and am now using a different one. I haven't had any of these problems prior to the updates.

G'day Mate,
As an avid flight simmer I bought a new soundcard my previous was
an audigy 2 platinum ex with an external module I really liked but somehow all of a sudden I was getting a screech when using FS9 sor I opted to change to the present. Well stone the crows my soundcard was auto updated with new drivers and well you guessed it the soundcard did not show in the sound video controllers window No I have just joined this forum and it looks like3 you may have the answer for me . I am now going to do as you suggest and see what happens.
I shall return with the outcome of my dilemma.
Many thanks for your sound advice ( pardon the pun)
