On this same website is a wealth of knowledge on how to convert DVD files to any video file format you desire.

  • Trouble getting video files into iPod Video

    I am having trouble getting some video files onto my Video iPod.
    Some videos will sync onto my iPod, some won't.
    But, they are formatted the same way. And have the same extension.
    The format for the files are:
    Frame size: 320x240
    Video: H.264
    Audio: AAC
    I see nothing in Quicktime's movie properties that is different between the videos that will, and will not transfer onto my iPod.
    What do I need to change to make these files update onto my iPod?
    thanks a mill!

    Frame rate?

  • Here it is ! how to get AVI files onto ipod !!

    Well yes I could make a tidy sum and sell this information but I am happy to contribute this greater knoweldge just knowing it will bring an end to a great deal of frustration as I was one of those frustrated people untill late this very afternoon. (only joking - although I was one of the frustrated ones ).
    I did a google search for dvd decrypter, downloaded and installed and then went to the following link which gives you step by step instructions on how to transfer any video file and then transcode it using Videora which I did myself and can happily say that I have sucessfully transfered an AVI file (home movie) onto my ipod without any trouble at all.
    sorry I havent gone into more detail but there are detailed steps on the instruction guide.
    see link below and this will resolve all your problems.
    P.S the only note i can add is that it would appear that dvd decypter can only take in a file from a dvd disk and not hard drive so you have to put your file onto disk first.
    good luck I managed the entire process in around 1 hour that`s from finding the software in the first place to haveing the file on my ipod.

  • HT1351 Loading large video files onto Ipod Touch

    My 1st Generation Ipod touch does not allow me to load large size videos. Even files greater than 40 MB cannot be loaded.
    Is there a restriction on the file size ?
    Can you please help ?
    Regards,
    Sarwottam

    I have found the "Sync" settings from within iTunes. The default setting for "Sync Movies" is set to disabled. Thanks for the help - The device settings were being hidden by an "Apple commercial" for the version 3.0 software upgrade - once I clicked on "Remind Me Later" I was able to see the 8 tabbed configuration screen. I guess marketing trumps usability.
    For anyone else who wants to load videos to an iPod: the output from Compressor is fine, and there is no need to do any other conversion.
    Thanks again

  • How do I get Video files from my computer to my Ipod?  Help Please, Urgent!

    How do I get video files that I already have on my computer into Itunes and onto my Ipod???

    Assuming the video files are in the correct format for iPod, all you need to do is add them to your iTunes library then sync the iPod. Under the file menu in iTunes is an option the add a file or folder to the library.

    I am a first-time iPad owner/user. I bought a relative's original iPad. I want to leave the apps on it and add my own pdfs to read. My itunes account is really for my iPod. iTunes message says that if I "Sync" the iPad will be erase, and become like my iPods. If I make a new iTunes account, would the apps be erased when I tried to use it?
    How can I just get my files onto this iPad, and still have the apps that my relative left there for me?
    Thank you.

    iPads sync to 1 computer only.
    All media and apps are tied to the Apple ID that purchased them.
    Without your relatives ID and password, you cannot update any of the Apps.
    I am pretty certain he is also violating Apples terms of service by giving you the apps.

  • Getting video files to your iPod

    Q. How do I get video files to my iPod?
    A. First of all for DVD's and the like, you'll need a video capture device(a.k.a. a video card that usually comes with a program that allows you to record video from a number of sources).
    Once you've recorded your file which might not be Mpeg-4 or H.264 but will probably be AVI or WMV, what I recommend at this point is the iPod video converter from Xilisoft. this powerful little tool will enable you to open just about any file(WMV,MPEG,AVI...and so on) and convert it to and iPod compatible format. The plus of this program compared to others is not only can you download a trial version, but you get five full minutes of recording without any watermarks(basically print over your new recording that usually says "trial version" or something that can only be removed by purchasing the full version of the product.)
    Third, for editing this is where you can put the 40 bucks you spent on quicktime pro to some use. Now you should be able to open your file in Quicktime without any problems and edit your video for final viewing. (That's if you need to of course. Some video capturing devices don't allow you to do editing.)
    Lastly, if you can't be bothered with all this editing stuff, drop your new video file into your iPod in iTunes, right click the file once iPod is updated, select "get info". One of the tabs should allow you to input the point or time you want the file to start playing.

    They first need to be in iTunes. Find them on the music store under podcasts.
    Once they are there, connect the iPod and go to edit-->preferences in iTunes. Clcik the iPod tab. Then click the videos tab. Make sure update all videos is selected. Then click the podcasts tab under the iPod and make sure that update all podcasts is selected. Click OK.
    If they are not in the right format, then right click an epsidoe and go to convert selection for iPod. You can highlight multiple episodes and convert them at once.

  • Can't put ripped DVD files onto iPod

    I've ripped a couple of 1.5hr video files to MPEG4 format using Xilisoft's DVD to iPod software (very good by the way) but I can't get these files onto my iPod (I've checked them in Quicktime and they look fine).
    I've tried importing into the library then manually dragging and dropping, but they just won't copy (I don't get any warning message either). Syncing doesn't work either.
    Anyone got any ideas?

    What exactly happnes when you try to sync?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

  • STILL can't get Videos into 5G iPod I give up I'm bringing it back

    I have the Black 30GB, after a week of trying iSquint , Handbrake ,Movies for my iPod and now MPEG Streamclip I still can't get videos in my iPod . I give up, it's scratched to bits and I handle it with extreme care . This was the worst $300.00 I've ever spent .

    I had trouble with that too, but figured it out. Here are some things to check:
    1.) Preferences in iTunes with the iPod connected. I put mine on automatic update of all podcasts, just to make sure nothing is missed.
    2.) On the iPod, go to Settings > Main Menu > Videos > On
    3.) On the iPod, got to Videos > Video Settings > TV Out OFF, Widescreen OFF, TV Signal (in US is NTSC, in Europe is PAL).
    After I configured #3, all worked. I'm not sure the widescreen setting makes a difference, but I do know the TV settings do.
    I think you won't have any problems if you go down this checklist. Too bad they don't mention it in Apple support.

  • Can I save both DVD-R and DVD-Video files onto the same DVD?

    Can I save both DVD-R and DVD-Video files onto the same DVD?

    Hi Stan,
    I just want the user to be able to run my video clips either on a 
    computer or on a standard DVD player. It would be nice to include both 
    formats on a single disc. I am new to this and am not sure what format 
    is most widely used for standard DVD players. Thanks for your response 
    and any guidance you can give me.

  • I need to get some video files onto my iphone from a computer that does not have my itunes library on it

    Currently I am away from home, and using a computer that does not have my main itunes library on it. I do, however, have some video files on this computer that I would like to place onto my phone for the drive home tomorrow. Unfortunately,  It seems there is no way to do this without completely wiping my iPhone and replacing it with this computers empty library, as the "manage content manually" feature apparently requires me to do this. Is there any way to just add some mp4s to my iphone without erasing all of its data?.

    On a Windows PC plugging in your phone will invoke the Autoplay dialog which also gives some options
    But only if iTunes is installed on the computer and is paired as a trusted device. Which the OP does not want to do.

  • How do I repeat loop a video file from iPod Touch to Apple TV ?

    I have an iPod Touch that is a few years old but running the latest software update.  I want to loop a video to then play through Apple TV onto 2 panels at the front of our shop.  I have saved the file as a video and Music Video (using Get Info etc) but neither version in the iPod touch will supply the repeat function - it works fine from my MacBook Pro but I cannot leave this in the shop overnight.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated - evern if a third party app that actually works.  Thanks in advance, Shaun.
