HD for regular ipod podcast

Hi All
I have looked through the forums, but still haven't seen an answer to this. I feel like i'm being stupid with it, or that i'm missing something. . . .
Right, i have a clip that is in HD. I want to render out a version that could be used as a Podcast, to be used with ANY video iPod. So not just a HD podcast, i want them to be mobile.
What do i export with?
If i export with the 640x480 as recommended by the iTunes help pages, then i loose the aspect ration and the footage gets squeezed! Any ideas on how to preserve the apsect ration and yet allow them to play on a iPod?
Oh, i have selected 'maintain aspect ration' using 'letterbox' - but it does nothing????
thanks

There are plenty of presets in Compressor under QT 7 Web.
Export self contained and use one of those.

  • Convert Higher Bitrate Songs for Regular iPod

    I recently switched to a mac from a windows pc and now I'm finding some of the key features of the software that I was using, (Media Center from JRiver) missing. I have converted all of my music from flac to apple lossless, (200GB) and the key workflow for me is:
    1. Convert from apple lossless to a smaller codec when importing music to my iPod. This can be done on the shuffle with the, "Convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kpbs aac for this iPod" option. It would be great to include this functionality for regular iPods, and the ability to select the codec used for conversion if a higher bit rate is desired.
    2. Synchronize my iPod with iTunes and have the track information like My Rating synchronize from the low bit rate song on the iPod to the high bit rate song in the iTunes library.
    The current workflow requires a duplicate version of the high bit rate tracks in the lower bit rate, which can take up quite a bit of space when using a 60GB iPod. These simple options made using Media Center very nice and I'm sure they would make your clients happy.
    Thank you for helping me direct my request to the right place!
    Marc

    Has anyone found a way of easily converting Apple Lossless files into those of a lower bit rate for use with any iPod other than the shuffle (the iTunes for the shuffle has the nice option to convert to 128kbps on syncing).
    My Nano isn't much use as it can only hold 3 Albums imported in Lossless and I can't work out how to change them into a lower bit rate without having to re-import the album from the CDs and selecting the appropriate bit rate to encode at.
    Thanks

  • Lyrics support for regular iPod

    The latest release from the iPod stable, the iPod Nano, now comes with a feature that has been long overdue from Apple's range - a lyrics feature. iTunes 5 now supports a lyrics tag (yes the usual lyrics tag as used by Windows Media Player etc. - thank God Apple didn't try to be difficult by using some alternate tag) and this is accessible under the 'Get info' section. These lyrics can then be viewed on the Nano. This feature requires a simple modification of the iPod firmware (the program that runs on the iPod). Hopefully, future releases of the iPod firmware for the normal iPods will have this feature. Please urge Apple to make this feature available as it would be a shame to miss out. If anyone knows of any mods or hacks etc. to allow the viewing of lyrics on a normal iPod, that would be greatly appreciated in the meantime.

    I just bought a 60 GIG Photo (to upgrade from my 3rd gen 40 GIG) becouse I wanted to see the lyrics of my songs, so I went to the apple store and the sales person told me I could do it. So I spent the 400+ bucks and got it home.... and could not figure it out. Then i came to the discussions and found out that you cant do it.....this is the only reason i spent the money and i am pi@sed. I will be very disapointed if apple dose not update this feature in the next firmware.

  • Is there a way for 2 ipods to share the same downloaded podcasts?

    Is there a way for 2 ipods to share the same downloaded podcasts?
    Instead of having to download 2 sets and storing 2 sets?

    Sync them both to the same iTunes library.

    Hi Becki ..
    You need to "authorize" the Mac.
    Launch iTunes on the Mac then from the iTunes menu bar top of your screen click Store > Authorize This Computer.
    Now, using the same Apple ID as you used to purchased iTunes media originally, you should be able to sync all your content.

    I own an iPod Classic.  In iTunes, some podcast videos cant be played on teh iPod, so I set it to convert the video to the right format for the iPod.  It used to work perfectly, but now for some reason, it doesnt convert properly!  When I play the video, it is just a white screen, but the sound can be heard.  Can anyone help??????

    Your source video file is probably muxed.
    Neither QT Pro or iTunes has the ability to successfully encode a muxed video file with audio. You'll end up with video and no audio.
    See: iPod plays video but not audio of some exported files.
    You'll need to use some other third-party software to do the conversion. There's a handful of software available. Just search the forums and you'll find many titles mentioned.
    Try MPEG Streamclip.

  • IPod Podcast List in iTunes Doesn't Show all Podcasts

    iTunes 11.1.1
    4th gen iPod Shuffle
    I just refreshed all podcasts in iTunes. 
    Hooked up Shuffle to sync, went to Podcast tab & many podcasts that show up via iTunes Podcast section are not there...
    I've never noticed this happen before.
    HELP!!
    Thanks

    I don't know the cause of the problem you describe.  You may want to report it as a "bug" to Apple using the Feedback web page for iTunes
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
    Also, since this is a problem related to iTunes (the app), and not directly related to using a shuffle, you may get additional replies by posting the question here (in the iTunes for Mac forum category)
    https://discussions.apple.com/community/itunes/itunes_for_mac
    I can offer a possible "work-around."  On the shuffle's Podcasts "tab" in iTunes, at the bottom of the screen, there is a list called Include Episodes from Playlists.  On this list, you can select playlists in your iTunes library that have podcast episodes.
    In your iTunes library, create a new playlist.  You can call it something line "iPod Podcasts," or whatever you want.  Add podcast episodes you want on the shuffle to this playlist.
    NOTE:  Click the plus sign at the bottom of the sidebar to create a new playlist.  If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
    On this playlist, you can add a mix of episodes from multiple podcasts, and put the episodes in any desired playlist order (by dragging them around on the list or sorting by a column heading).
    Back on the shuffle's Podcasts tab, select (checkmark) this playlist under Include Episodes from Playlists.  Click Apply to sync the selection, as well as the playlist itself, to the shuffle.
    On the shuffle, you should be able to play the episodes from the separate podcast playlists (using VoiceOver to switch), or from the "iPod Podcasts" playlist.  To play podcasts from a (regular) playlist on a shuffle, you must set the shuffle's power switch to the play-in-order (middle) position.  The episodes play in playlist order.
    If that works, I can provide additional info on using Smart Playlists to "automate" the process.  It may actually be more convenient than using the iPod's Podcasts tab to manage podcasts on the shuffle.

  • How do I force a manual sync for my iPod touch w/iTunes v.11.0.1.2?

    After the upgrade to iTunes 11.0.1.2 I am unable to find a way to force a manual sync for my iPod Touch.  Also, some of the podcasts seem not to go into the proper folders, they wind up in an "unkown album" folder after downloading.  Is there a way to fix this or even manually move them into the proper folders(albums)?

    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar and Control+B to show the Menu bar
    To sync to your iPod go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.

    ALL of your music should be on your computer in itunes.  Is it not?
    How did it get on your ipod in the first place if not from your comptuer?
    Everything on your ipod should be on your computer and you should be syncing regularly.

  • Athlete Looking for an iPod Set-Up

    Hello-
    I am going to switch t the iPod, but since I listened to Mr. Jobs podcast on all the changes that were happening (about 3 weeks ago), I thought I would try to get some help with getting a good set-up for my triathlon and biathlon trials and practice. I need music and I guess the only place I can download music now is from my itunes. Is that true with an Apple iPod? I have looked at about 100 in-the-earphones, some from this site, some from Ultimate ears, and some from EarPhone Solutions. Very confusing but I like the in-the-ear approach since that was my main problem-the ear piece kept flopping out. I know when I wear ear plugs, in -the-ear, sometimes they can give a hollow or echo sound, and sometimes I can even hear my heart beat pounding against the ear plug and my inner ear canal.
    Not sure on all the changes. the iPod Touch looks cool but how does it hook up to Wifi? Is it only at hotspots or can you get a service that you can get hooked up where ever you are, kind of like 3 or 4 G.
    Since I need a sturdy and very high quality iPod holder, some good in-the -earphones (the ones with the ear hook on them seem pretty cool. Is that just an ear hook that you could use for any earphone? If anybody knows of a good set-up with a recommendation on an iPod, the arm or waist solid holder (it does not have to be on Apple.com), good but not priced out of this world earphones, I would really appreciate it.
    I basically need it for music. The WiFi sounds good, but that would be used during a different time, unless I could get a connection when I was lost. lol. As far as all the extras, they can be good, but I am really primarily looking for the best sound, the best earphones, and the best holster or arm band.
    yes, I have been to the Apple Store top try them out but it was a zoo. I never did find out about the WiFi on the Touch. If there will be a way I could get online wherever I was, I would like the Touch. For my purposes, I have no need for videos. Can you watch movies (full length HD and do they have to be downloaded from iTunes?)
    If the learning curve is high with the Touch, I would need a good set of articles that explains all the main functions I would need to do in order to at least get me up and running.
    Thanks in advance for any input you can give me.
    cheers!

    There is no comprehensive usage monitoring app available for the iPod Touch. However, there is
    a way to limit and track internet usage (as Illass has suggested, using a Safe Browser app like the one from Mobicip. See this tutorial for more information on how to set this up), and
    setup an email account with monitoring facilities (like Zoobuh, Zilladog) and setup the email client on the iPod Touch to use one such account.
    At this time, there is no equivalent text message monitoring service.
    Hope this helps.

  • Settings NOT saved for the iPod, because- not found

    I've a lot of regular changes to make when updating my music library on my iPod. But when I'm in the middle of doing so - that is using TAB "Music" (which "Sync Music" enabled) - and checking all relevant playlists, an error appears:
    "The settings were not saved for the iPod “<my iPod name>” because it could not be found."
    I don't know what to do because the only related articles all dates back to… 2007! That's 5 years ago!!!
    Of course I tried all the solutions of 2007, and when I do other errors occur like:
    "iPod sync failed" OR… my iPod simple disappears from the list (and even DEVICES doesn't shows up anymore in the left pane).
    THANKS for helping me.

    Can you post a link to the article you are referring to?
    I assume you have tried using a nother USB sync cable to help rule out the possibility of a faulty one?  What about plugging the iPod into a different USB port on your Mac?
    It might help to remove any other USB devices you have connected to the Mac. Then reboot the Mac as well as your iPod by pressing and holding both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear. Then try to resync.
    Could you provide the full text from the error messages you are referring to?
    Make sure you are running the latest version of iTunes (10.6.3).

  • Should I buy a Nano or regular iPod?

    I was just curious to know someone's opinion on whether I should buy an iPod or a Nano. I do like the sleek, smallness of the Nano and the fact that it's cheaper. However I do have a lot of music and would like to be able store other files and photos. Also it seems that the regular iPod has more features (correct me if I'm wrong).
    I was also curious as to which is easier to find cases and an FM Modulator for? Any suggestions and recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

    No, not a 40Gig iPod, but a fourth generation 20 Gig iPod. It's more than I really need, but it works fine for me.
    As far as skins and cases are concerned, go to:
    http://www.ilounge.com/
    and you'll be able to see a large number of protections available for whatever model you choose. There is a catalog listed somewhere that you can download. It really is a matter of personnal choice.
    As far as FM transmitters are concerned, I had the Belkin first generation, and I didn't like it all: there is a remarkable loss of bandwith, i.e. you loose a lot of the highest and lowest frequencies, so that was too much of a loss of sound quality for me. So I gave it away when I had a special module installed in my Volvo.

  • Update 1.2 not showing up for 5G iPod

    iTunes (v7.0, Quicktime now at v7.1.3) keeps on saying that my iPod is up-to-date; but it's still on 1.1.2. Neither my G5 desktop nor my iBook G4 seem to have this update for my iPod.
    Exactly how does one update their 5G iPod to 1.2? Do I have to do a restore?
    Thanks for helping!
    David

    No, I have not; I will do so later on today. Thanks for the idea - I truly appreciate it.
    If there is anything else that I might try, someone please let me know; I shall be checking this post regularly. If all else fails, I will do a complete iPod restore and see what happens.
    I know that there have been some problems with the new software, but I really want the gapless playback function! I've been waiting for this for years!
    Thanks!

  • Our podcast shows black thumbnails on iPod Podcasts screen

    Our podcast shows black thumbnails on iPod Podcasts screen, im not talking about the channels logo here, that works fine.
    It's when you have subscribed to the feed and the podcasts are downloaded to your Apple mobile device and you view your podcasts on screen, down the left it has little video thumbnails of the episodes.
    In my case apart from one episode they all show a black video thumbnail and I want to show our logo or ideally a frame from that episode say 5 seconds in would do.
    Thanks for any help.

    I don't know exactly how the iPod works in this context: in iTunes, when subscribing, the image you see for each episode is either the first chapter image of an 'enhanced' podcast or an image which has been embedded in the file. I don't know what it does with movie files - possibly the first frame. You could subscribe in iTunes on your PC and see what shows there.
    In any event, you should be able to embed an image of your choice in each file (you would then need to re-upload it). The method is described here:
