Getting videos and movies to play on iPod

I have many videos and movies, mostly mpeg.
I have been waiting 4 hours, since I clicked export save movie for iPod play? This is taking 4ever!
I upgraded to the QT Pro to accomplish this task, and the progess window now shows 28% At this rate it will take me years to save the videos I have - for iPod play!
Any way to speed up? I can only imagine how long it will take a full length movie???

Eddy:
QT Pro is incredibly, incredibly slow - BUT the results are gorgeous and you don't have to fiddle with settings.
If you value speed over image quality, then you will need to download Handbreak.
Before you do, you will need to read the iPod DVD Ripping Guide, which explains the process.
If you want to rip the DVDs you own to your harddrive, get MacTheRipper. Doing so speeds up the process of converting to an iPod-compatible format.

  • Purchased videos and music not playing on ipod

    i purchased some music and videos, while using my wifes powerbook g4, loaded them onto my ipod (which i had setup using my pc) now i see the music and videos and when i try playing them the music shows up then goes to the next song. the videos just go to a black screen.
    now i have loaded my cd's onto my wifes powerbook and have been able to play them on my ipod no problem. just the purchased music/videos from itunes, is not playing
    what did i do wrong.

    Did you update the firmware on the iPod? Supposibly if fixes a few bugs.

    If you didn't then try that. Believe me your problem is not with not using that CD as I never even popped the disk in my CD drive untill after I had updated my iPod as the software was outdated before it arrived at my house.

  • Videos and Movies not play right

    Vids not play right (distorted), Audo (this time) OK though.
    What do?
    (Why do the vids not have their own list as before in library?)

    Which ever one of these changes I made allowed the vids to work, but I do not know which one it was since I did both one right after the other and then applied, OK, closed QT and then checked vids.
    Which one is most likely?
    Disable Direct3D video acceleration in QuickTime
    On the Start menu, click Control Panel.
    Open the QuickTime control panel.
    Click the Advanced tab.
    Deselect Enable Direct3D video acceleration in the Video section as shown here:
    Click OK.
    Disable DirectX in QuickTime
    On the Start menu, click Control Panel.
    Open the QuickTime control panel.
    Click the Advanced tab.
    Select Safe mode (GDI only) in the Video section as shown here:
    The Vids worked before the 7 update!
    Why I have to change all this and IT not automatically allow to work with the update?
    Why do I have to make all these changes and adjustments to make IT work again with 7?
    Where is the "videos" section like "music" is under Library? (There use to be one, where is it now? I guess it is called "movies" now, but my music videos are not in there anymore, why and why only movies and not vids too?)

  • Getting videos and and movies onto my ipod

    I have many videos and movies in a folder on my desktop, and I am having trouble getting them on my ipod. when I drag and drop the video in itunes it would say something like "this video will not work in ipod". I looked up the error message and it said I should try to let itunes convert the video to make it "ipod-ready". Except it said that I need to get the video into my itunes library, which I don't know how to(don't use itunes as my media player anyway). I know the ipod video has a narrow file format limit, limitong only to .mpg, .mov and a few others. But the videos are in mpg and its still not lettin me drag and drop. What do I do?

    Try using total video converter. It converts virtually any file to ipod video format. Its easy to use and FREE. http://www.effectmatrix.com/total-video-converter/

  • Since updating to 7, videos and movies won't play

    I just uploaded the latest version of iTunes. Since doing so yesterday, the videos and movies I had in my Library won't play. I get the sound, but all I get for a picture is colors. Anyone know how to debug? How do I get to view my videos again?
    Thanks

    First thing to check would be system requirements,
    Right click on My Computer click on Properties,
    Near the bottom it will say what processor and Ram are.
    For all video to play properly iTunes / Quicktime requires 2.0+ GHz Pentium Class processor and 512MB Ram and 32MB Video Ram.
    If you do meet the system requirements, You may want to try uninstalling / reinstalling Quicktime.
    Start...Control Panel...Add Remove Programs
    Remove Quicktime
    Open My Computer
    Browse to c:\Program Files\ and delete the Quicktime folder.
    Go to http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html and make sure that QuickTime 7.1.3 for Windows 2000/XP is selected.
    Download and install, After install, restart and test.
    Hope that works.

  • Can't move video and pix files back to iPod Touch from desktop computer

    I moved (via drag-and-drop in Windows) video and picture files from an iPod Touch (iOS 5.1.1) to a Windows 7 desktop computer. I want to copy some of them back, but it won't let me drag-and-drop to copy them back to the iPod. How do I get the files back on the iPod? I know that the "disk mode" is not available on the Touch. Also, although the iPod shows up in iTunes on my desktop computer, these video and picture files (Quick Time Movies, JPEGs, etc.) don't show up there. So, I'm out of ideas. A related question: how do I scan the iPod using my Windows 7 desktop computer's anti-virus application (McAfee)? Normally, when I right-click on a device on the desktop computer, it offers me the ability to scan it for viruses. Not only does it not give me this option for the iPod; the iPod doesn't even show up as a hard drive; it shows up in the window as a separate "flavor" of drive. Is there a way to make Windows 7 think that the iPod Touch is just another USB-connected drive; i.e., is there a way to mimic the disk mode option that is available on other models of the iPod other than the Touch?

    - There is no way to scan the iPod for virus via a computer program. I know of no way to scan an iPod.
    - To sync photos to the iPod see:
    iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes
    - To sync videos to the iPod see:
    iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
    iTunes: Frequently asked questions about viewing and syncing videos
    iTunes: May be unable to transfer videos to iPhone, iPad, or iPod

  • Hello..Does anyone in this community know what the following error code indicates   0x8002006E   I was trying to burn a DVD from files in a burn folder. They were pictures from my Nikon camera. I can play videos and movies from the same dvd player.

    I was trying to burn a DVD from files in a burn folder. They were pictures from my Nikon camera. I can play videos and movies from the same dvd player.    Thanks for any help you can offer,

    Thanks for your reply:
    I did find an error log related to the error code and tried all suggestions on the list of recommendations, still no luck            
    I definitely am running OS X10.5.8 (hopefully will be updating later on this month)
    I tried several brand new discs from the same box, still no luck.
    My last option is to go out and try a different brand, guess I'll go with Verbatim this time but I think I'll poke around some more before buying 20 more new discs.

  • How to install videos and movies on to i touch

    i am not able to get any video files on to my i touch.it is giving a message that this format cant be played on your i pod.how to install videos and movies on to my i touch

    Videos must be in a format that iTunes and the iPod can accept. See:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2729?viewlocale=en_US
    If your videos are not on the appropriate format, you'll have to convert them. Search this forum for "video convert" and you should find a number of threads about converting videos for use with an iPod.

  • How do I get very short movies to play one after the other?

    How do I get very short movies to play one after the other?
    I have some video tutorials to show me how to use software on the Mac.
    When a short 4 min. video is finished - I have to double click the next one.
    There must be a way to have continuous playing of movies back to back...
    I've looked - I am sure it's obvious...
    Help please.  Thanks!

    make them type 'Music Video', and add info on artist to group them, then play them.

  • How do get a QuickTime movie to play?

    I have a QuickTime movie on one of my web pages. It is located here: http://www.bagsnaggers.com/ourhistory.html
    It seems to play fine on Macs, which I use and where I created it, but I have been looking at some Windows computers and it doesn't seem to play. I can get other QuickTime movies to play on them, so I know QuickTime is installed; other movies seem to open automatically and start to play. But on Windows machines, when I click my movie nothing happens. There's a little icon in the corner, but right-clicking, option-clicking, etc. does nothing. I have asked friends with Windows and QuickTime to see if they can play it, but no luck. Can anyone tell me how I should put the movie up on my page so that people who have Windows with QuickTime can play it? Many thanks for help.

    If you encode the video for Flash, the most common format used on YouTube, then people will be able to view the video as long as they have Flash Player installed. Without Flash, they can't see YouTube videos, so there's still something that some people may have to install. More and more videos, particularly those intended for playback on iPhones, are using h.264, so you may just want to tell people that they need QuickTime 7 to play your videos. Your choice, of course.

  • Videora-Music Video and Movies

    I'm frustrated!!!
    I downloaded and converted several music videos and movies on Videora Converter and now I don't know how to transfer them to my Ipod... I've tried to upload them from Ipod and that didn't work either. Please help...

    Just use iTunes to import them. Load up iTunes and click on "File", then scroll down to "Import". Browse to where your movie file is and click on it to import it. After this, you will need to resync your iPod in order to get the movie onto it.
