Help! Cant add video files to my library!!!!

what's the point of having and ipod video if u cannot watch any video?
I choose add file to library, then select a video file, but nothing, N-O-T-H-I-N-G happens.
Anyone who's got a clue?
Pleaseeee!!!!

2MB are really small - maybe conversion failed due to whatever reason.
Mabe there are better converters available ... ?!
Try a google search for something like "video convert itunes ipod" - as I own only own some macs I'm not aware what kind of applications are available when using a Windows PC.
Sorry.
Or just try repost asking for free video converters. - I suppose there will be lots of helpful answers and links from other PC Users.

Used to convert all my videos into iPhone mp4 format using Any Video Converter - then add it to my iPhone 3GS. But last few days, I cant add video files to iTunes. and the iTunes doesnt even specify the reason except for that "files are not supported"

Everyting was perfect earlier. Used to convert all my videos into iPhone mp4 format using Any Video Converter - then add it to my iPhone 3GS. But last few days, I cant add video files to iTunes. and the iTunes doesnt even specify the reason except for that "files are not supported"
Everything is fine.
-They are the right format
-Quicktime is updated
-I have tried simply dragging them into the 'movie' library
-I have tried going to file<add file to library
Nothing works, has anyone else had this problem and found a way around it?
Any and all help appreciated.

In addition to Mike's suggestions, you only have 4GB of RAM and Mavericks does use more RAM than other versions. You may also want to look at the apps that startup on login and the possiblity of upgrading RAM.

Unable to add video files to Library

Hello, good evening.
(I don't even know how to start...)
I'm having some problems while trying to add video files to iTunes' library. No matter if I try to drag it in, or use the File > Add file to Library option, it just doesn't show up on the Video category (or any other category either). However, it adds music files and downloads podcasts perfectly. Also, everything in the library syncs to the iPod without problems, including the videos that were already there prior to the iTunes 6 to 7 update.
The video is already a .mp4, converted with the Videora iPod Converter. I'm using iTunes 7.0.1 on Windows XP. If other detail is needed to answer my question, just ask.
I guess this is it...
PC Windows XP

Wierd. When you say it doesn't show up in the Video category, you mean "movies" category, right? Because there is no "video" category.
I don't think iTunes would mistake it for a music file, and it probably wouldn't show up in TV shows (and I'm sure you already tried that), but did you check under Podcasts?
It doesn't give you an error message when you go to import? Can you play the file within windows?

2.Connect your i pad to your PC/ Laptop.
3.Open your itunes, it should show your ipad and Library.
4.Open the folder of your converted video and try to opening it using itunes by right click.
5.Your converted movies will open in itunes and add to home sharing videos in Library movie option after you login with your apple id.
6.Slect sync movie option and syncronising it.
7.It will come in ipad

I am unable to add video files to my itunes library

I have been trying to add videos to my itunes library for a few hours now, i have the correct format MPEG-4's as stated on here as the correct format, but when i go to add them nothing comes up and im wondering why ?

HI.Andrew. Thanks for the reply. I think there has been misunderstanding and I am sorry about it. I am not streaming from my computer using Twonky. I have videos on my networked EZ drive in a media shared folder called movies. I also have photos in other folders as well which have no problem streaming. A majority of these videos (nearly 99%) are in the latest .m2TS or MPEG-4 format (from my video camera) and about 8 of them are in the MPEG-1 format. I used to be able to use my networked SOny Blu-Ray player to stream these videos (any format) to my TV and watch them, till this february when i updated my firmware. It does not need my laptop to be on for that (hence not media integrationissues). After my firmware update, the only video that plays are the eight MPEG-1 format videos. Very strange. I have no problem streaming photos or music from the EZ drive. I think I might have confused you with the Twonky thing, because on the EZ drive's manager window on the browser, after selecting "Media server" settings, I used to see a twonky server against my laptop PC in the table of connected devices (for media integration), which I now understand was because of media integration of the laptop. So please ignore that. I now get the message "no playable file found" when I try to stream videos from the EZ drive through my Blu-Ray player. I do see the Lenovo-EMC2 icon on my Blu-ray players video channels, clicking on it does show me folders, but it cannot find any playable file, while earlier it used to play those same files. I dont understand what happened. I am hoping you can throw some light on this issue.

I am not able to add video files to my itunes after installing itunes 10.7

I am not able to add video files to my itunes after installing itunes 10.7.0.21

I Have been using, Ipad for only around a month or so (Ipad 2), and it was only yesterday that i tried to use the Itunes. I first downloaded the latest itunes (10.7.0.21), and took backup of all my Ipad data.
After this, I wanted to add some video to my ipad, as it was essential to add the same to My itunes first, I roceeded to do just that. I went through this command {File - Add File to Library}, and then went on to select the Video file. There's just a flicker, and then nothing happens at all - the itune screen remains, and there is no error message too. Whereas, I can easily add Audio Files.
After this, I even downaload the latest Quick time (7.7.2), as I had read somewhere that the same is necessary. When I tried to open the Video file in Quick time, it did not open. After that I downloaded the codec DivX and DivX player. Though the Video plays in DivX, it refuses to open in Itune and does not play properly in Quicktime (slider moves, but sound and video is not there).
Frankly, I am utterly confused.

Add New Files To iTunes Library

Is it possible to set up a folder in the finder so that when new audio files are placed inside (either copied, created or downloaded), they will automaticly be added to the iTunes library? Is there a folder action or applescript I'm missing or something? Or another way?
Thanks in advance.

I've created a folder action for a folder (called it 'iTunes dropbox') on the desktop to do so.
This is how I've set it up:
• Create a new folder (on the desktop or whatever location)
• Run Automator
• Select 'Finder' in the Library (left) pane, then select 'Get Specified Finder Items' from the Action (middle) pane and drag it to the right pane.
• Select 'iTunes' in the Library, select 'Add Files to Playlist' and drag it below the 'Get Specified Finder Items' action in the right pane.
You can choose to add the file to the Library only, or also to an existing or new playlist.
• To save this workflow as an folder action, choose 'Save As Plug-in...' from the file menu.
• Choose an appropriate name (e.g. 'tunetolib').
• At 'Plug-in for:', choose 'Folder Actions'
• At 'Attached to Folder:', choose 'Other...' and navigate to the folder you created before.
• If you did not enable folder actions already, tick a checkbox that says so. If you already enabled it, you won't see this option.
• Click 'Save'
Now it's time to test the 'dropbox'.
Just drop an AAC, Apple Lossless, AIFF, WAV or mp3 file in the folder and if the exact file does not already exist in iTunes, it will be (should be) added to the library.
Hope this helps.

I have files in my iTunes media folder that somehow are not in my library. How do I get iTunes to scan my media folder and add missing files to my library without making a copy of each file in the same location?

I have files in my iTunes media folder that somehow are not in my library. How do I get iTunes to scan my media folder and add missing files to my library without making a copy of each file in the same location? If I use add file / folder to library, it scans the folder and then makes a copy of any file that is not in my library in the exact same location; I recal in older versions of iTunes being able to just drag my media folder into my library and it would update missing links.

Only the songs that are connected to iTunes will be copied when you consolidate to a new folder.
Splitting the media folder away from the usual location makes it harder to move iTunes in the future.
Are you go move everything back once you've tidied up or are you going to leave it that way? Either way I'd recommend you create an iTunes folder at the new location, an iTunes Media folder inside that, and consolidate to this new iTunes Media folder. You should also use the option File > LIbrary > Organize Library > Rearrange files in the folder "<Media Folder"> if you have not already done so.

My PC itunes does not add mp4 files in the library.

My PC itunes does not add mp4 files in the library. why?

YEs, files downloaded before Monday are fine, coul add them ti library.
I'Ve now changed the FTP client, from Transmit to Cyberduck, and can now add new files to the library. All files transfered via Transmit however remain unacceptable to iTunes. It is a pity, as Transmit is much faster and user-friendly.
HAve written to Transmit for their input.

I need a help in reading video file of 80MB into ...

Hello,
I need a help in reading video file of 80MB into a vector storing ByteArrays in it.Please help me soon.
Thank You

Hello,
I was able to solve my problem by thinking & my code goes as follows.I am trying to read a video file in my program.
public Vector getFileMediaContent(RandomAccessFile fileObj){
Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
System.out.println ("Free memory : inside Boolean Type Panel" + runtime.freeMemory() );
dataContent.removeAllElements();
System.out.println("dataContent :"+dataContent.size());
try{
int size=(int)fileObj.length();
if(size<2000000){
byte[] data = new byte[size];
fileObj.read(data);
dataContent.addElement(data);
data=null;
System.gc();
else{
int fixedsize=2000000;
int startindex=0;
int read=0;
int remaining=0;
while(read!=-1){
byte[] data=new byte[fixedsize];
read=fileObj.read(data,0,data.length);
dataContent.addElement(data);
startindex=startindex+data.length;
remaining=size-startindex;
fileObj.seek(startindex);
data=null;
System.gc();
if(remaining>0 && remaining<2000000){
byte[] data1=new byte[remaining];
read=fileObj.read(data1,0,data1.length);
dataContent.addElement(data1);
data1=null;
System.gc();
System.out.println("outside while");
System.out.println("dataContent 1 :"+dataContent.size());
System.out.println ("Free memory : inside Boolean Type Panel" + runtime.freeMemory() );
fileObj = null;
System.gc();
}catch(Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
return dataContent;
Now I am not facing the problem of IndexOut of Bounds Exception But I am getting Out of Memory Error.
Can You suggest me to come out of this,.
As I know I have two solutions.
1.Make the objects Null which is using more space & call System.gc();
2.Increase the Virtual Memory of my System.
Any solutions other than this?
And How to Increase the Virtual Memory?Please do reply.
ThankYou

Need help on adding video files to library

I recently converted some of my movies to mp4. I used 2 different converter apps. When I click add file to library it doesnt show up in the library. Also when I update, it doesn't get sent to the ipod. Now I have done it before. I have a couple movies on my ipod. Now it's not working. Is there a patch or is it just the update that prevents this?

I am having the same problem, I have converted tons of videos, am able to watch them all on my computer, I put them all in one folder and add the folder to the library and only about half of them actually get added to iTunes, I've tried manually adding each file and it just doesn't do anything. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

How do I add video files to my itunes library?

Ok, this is basic but how do I add videos to my library? The files is supported by itunes but whenever i try to add to my library it's not there!
Help. Thanx

First, double-click on the Movies item in the Library. You will see a new window appear. Next, make sure you know the location of the movie file. Then, go to File > Add File to Library... and browse for the movie file (if you don't see it, it isn't compatible with iTunes; you have to convert it; see here for details: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1347). Then, with it selected, press Enter or Return. Tada-- there it is!
