Having trouble getting videos onto iPod

I have several AVI and MPG's of various TV shows on my PC. They won't open using iTunes, but they play fine with Media Player.
Is there an add in for iTunes to allow other formats? The support database claimes iTunes has a built in converter to change into the "iPod format", but I haven't been able to get that to work either.
Help!

  • Having trouble getting audiobooks onto iPod Touch

    I've tried troubleshooting this for my mom to no avail...
    We've found them in the iPod tab on iTunes -- they are all there, and she's able to check the box to Sync to her iPod, but nothing. She's got enough capacity... we've even tried moving them to a playlist but those playlists will mysteriously not show up in the Sync tab on iTunes...
    Any idea what's going on here? Trying to help from 1500 miles away but it's hard to tell.
    Thanks,
    AP

    Are you positive these audiobooks are configured to sync to the iPod Touch?  Wouldn't hurt to double check.
    Plug your iPod in and when it appears in iTunes, click on its name from under the Devicessection in the left hand pane of iTunes.  This will bring you to the iPod's Summary tab.   Look for the Books configuration tab along the top and click that.
    There should be an option right that the top that says Sync Audiobooks with a checkbox next to it.  Make sure it is ticked.  Then configure other settings below that.

  • Why am i having trouble downloading videos on ipod

    im having trouble downloading videos that i purchased on my ipod touch what happens if i reset the settings on my ipod will i lose everything

    Media is not afected.
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    What exactly happens when yot try to download videos?
    What do you mean by download? Purchase from iTunes on the iPod?

  • Having trouble syncing video to Ipod Classic 160GB

    Hi all,
    Finally moved up to an Ipod after a few too many years with other brands...and am really enjoying the Ipod/Itunes combo for music.
    Video's a different matter, though, and I could use your help!
    I'm trying to get a few videos onto my Classic, and have converted them into MP4 format and put them in the "Movies" folder in Itunes (they show up alongside every video I've shot on my digital camera). My Ipod is set to sync automatically, and does so for music, but not for video. I was able to get the videos on using the instructions I found on http://www.ehow.com/how4925922download-videos-onto-ipod-classic.html , but the next time I synced music on my Ipod, it removed the videos I'd added.
    Is there a way that I could add videos manually, and keep syncing music automatically, without the automatic syncing removing things that I added manually? Or could I set Itunes/Ipod up such that music is automatically queued for syncing, while videos need to be approved for syncing?
    Basically, how can I get this to work?
    Many thanks for your help.

    Hello stopheles,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    How do you currently have your iPod set up to sync Videos? What settings do you have enabled from under the Videos tab for your iPod in iTunes? Specifically, the "Automatically sync (Select Option Here, e.g. all) movies" option on this tab.

  • How to get Videos onto Ipod

    I have the video Ipod, and ive had movies on there before, but since i got 7.0.2 i havent been able to upload any movies
    can someone please help me

    Quicktime or Quicktime Pro (which iTunes uses) don't convert "muxed" ( muxed means multiplexed where the audio and video are stored on the same track) video files properly. It only plays the video and not the audio.
    See:iPod plays video but not audio.
    You need a 3rd party converter to convert the file with both audio and video.
    See this for help: Guide to converting video for iPod (Mac/Windows).
    Please watch out for the poster known as 'siask' who will probably reply to this post also. It's nothing but spam.

  • Having trouble "getting" video from a DVD.

    When trying to "get" video from a DVD I have recorded using a Magnavox DVD recorder, Premier Elements 4 will only import a portion of the video. The entire recorded video is viewable if I watch the DVD on a player so I know it is all there. This is only happening with video recorded on this one particular recorder. It is also only happening with Premier Elements 4. We also use Final Cut Pro and it works fine with DVD's from this recorder.
    If anyone has any answers please let me know.
    Thanks!!!!

    VCR/DVD burners can produce some mixed quality video files, Richard, particularly if they're recorded to a low quality disc (like Memorex).
    The wisest move would be to convert those DVD files to DV-AVIs using a program like MPEG Streamclip or VirtualDubMOD (both free), per the FAQs at the top of this forum.

    DV-AVIs are the ideal format for editing on a PC.

  • Problems Getting video onto iPod

    Hey everybody-
    I have a feeling that my problem is a composite of many peoples' problems. Here's how everything breaks down: I have a Powerbook G4 running the latest version of OSX and a new iPod 60 Gig 5G (christmas present!)
    -I read on the apple website that it is perfectly legal to rip your own DVD's for personal use.
    -Therefore, I downloaded Handbrake and used it to rip the movie Freaky Friday which I own, to my desktop.
    -The file showed up as an .mp4 on my desktop.
    -I tried everything: importing it from iTunes, dragging and dropping it into iTunes library, dragging and dropping it directly onto the iPod icon in the iTunes source list.
    -It showed up in the Video section of the iTunes source list, but when I tried to drag and drop it from there onto the iPod i got the same error message that everyone was getting, that it 'wasn't in the right format' with the link and everything.
    -I followed the link, which basically instructed me to buy QuickTime Pro, which I did.
    -In QuickTime Pro, I followed the instructions for 'movie to iPod' but the progress bar freezes up at 10%, every time.
    -I tried changing the original .mp4 file to a .mov file, and it still froze during exporting.
    How do I make it export into iTunes, then make it copy to my iPod without error? Pleeeeease help! I am willing to download anything and follow complicated instructions!
    Thank you SO MUCH!

    Your Handbrake "rip" may not meet the requirements for iPod use. Anything from the wrong dimensions to too high of a data rate could cause it to "fail".
    QuickTime Pro isn't "freezing" at 10% completion. You are too impatient for the conversion. It could take a day (slower machines even longer) to convert a DVD rip to iPod friendly specs.
    Plenty of lawyers in D.C. (I lived there for 50 years) would conclude that you don't own the right to "convert" the DVD to iPod format because the conversion creates a new product not intended by the copyright holders.
    I doubt the police on the Metro would enforce (copyright Police force?) would take notice once you do get the film onto your iPod.
    Test the "Export to iPod" setting using a 5 minute "cut". Open the Handbrake rip and copy 5 minutes of the file using QT Pro. Paste this cut into a new player window and save.
    Time the export (you may be disappointed) and then you'll know how long the entire file will take to export to iPod settings using H.264 video codec.

  • Default playlists / getting videos onto ipod

    when i installed itunes, it automatically came with Recently Added playlists, etc.
    is there a way i can get them back? (i accidentally deleted them!!!!)
    please help?
    i also converted one of my videos to mp4, i can view it on itunes, but i dont see it on the actual ipod. can someone help me??
    thanks

    DP,
    I have not used videora, nor iTunes on a PC, but on the Mac I have put multiple of my own videos in iTunes (and on my 5G) by just dragging the icon of the movie from the disk folder to the Library icon inside of iTunes. iTunes accepts the movie even if it is not compatible w/ the 5G.
    I hope this helps.

  • Cant get video onto ipod

    Every time I download a music video from itunes, I'll try to load it onto my ipod, but a message pops up saying that the video was not transferred because my ipod won't play the video. I do have a video ipod (30 GB). How can I fix this problem?

    Hi cdarb
    got a 60Gb video ipod and can just drop from iTune into iPod
    - in iTune program - my iPod appears in iTune library table so I drop
    the movies into a title "video" that appears here
    - or when made a movie in iMovie 6 - just Share to iPod.
    Works like a charm.
    I always update when my PB G4 says so. AND I run the update under the
    Apple on my lap-top now and then to keep it up to date.

  • Having problems getting itunes onto ipod, but they took my $$

    i recently bought my daughter a 3rd generation nano ipod for her 12th birthday. The first night she had it she used her itunes gift card and successfully downloaded 13 songs. The next night she proceeded to do the same thing, this time 15 songs. The money came off the card, but the music didn't go on the ipod. She did everything exactly as she had the previous night. I attempted to contact itunes, they stated it would automatically download the missing songs when the connection was made. HA HA...still don't have them...any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Is the music on the computer in iTunes?

  • 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!

  • 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)
