Playing movie on iPod nano

Is it true that iPod nano(2nd Gen) can't play movies? Has anyone tried to transfer MPEG4 movies into iPod nano? Thanks

The iPod video is the only iPod at present that play movies.

How do you load movies onto ipod

How do you pu movies fom your home onto your ipod?????

You need to find an appropriate app for the format that the database needs. That app will likely use the File Sharing method of syncing to the iPod.

Exactly How To Sync Rented Movies to iPod 3rd Generation Nano?

I've been looking all around these boards for over an hour and there are definitely topics about the rental movies and the different iPods they will sync with etc etc... I'm having the same troubles a lot of others are, like my rented movies won't show up in the Movies tab. I even dragged the picture of the rented movie to my iPod icon but only the picture moves and nothing else.
*So please, I just need a step by step account of how to sync the movies I rent from iTunes to my 3rd generation iPod nano.* Thank you in advance.

You can't. iCloud is only compatible with iOS devices running iOS 5 or later.

How to transfer video/movie to ipod from iTunes?

Hi,
Recently, I have got my new iPod Touch 4G. I succesfully transfered songs/apps from iTunes to my iPod Touch. But I don't know how to transfer video/movie to my iPod. I can't add a movie/video clip to iTunes ( File-> Add file to Library).
Is there any video format conversion required?
Thanks
Siva

Hi,
You are right! I just converted my videos/movies into MP4 format using HandBrake and it works!
Thanks

How do i play .mov files

Hi
I suspect that this has been asked before, but how do I now play .mov files. I created some movies a few years ago for teaching purposes and need to use them again. However, neither iMovie nor Quicktime seem to recognise/support the .mov format.
Any help would be much appreciated
Don

Are you saying that there are settings that I can adjust to let current versions of Quicktime/iMovie/iTunes play the files, or do I need to use another programme to convert the files into a current form that will be recognisable to current standards?
I am saying that we have no idea what codec components were used to create the original files. (I.e., the MOV file container is like a bottle, can, cup, glass, or other container that can be filled with any liquid, solid, or gas that can be fit into it.) For instance, if were created as Windows Media Video files and copied to an MOV file container, then you would need Flip4Mac components installed on your system. If they were created using DivX, XviD, 4IVX or similar codecs, then you would need to update those codecs or remove them and install the Perian codec package. MOV files containing muxed MPEG-2 video would require installation if the Apple QT MPEG-2 Playback component. FLV content in an MOV file container could be played with the Perian package installed. If the files were created using one of FCP "Pro" components, then those same codecs must be installed on the platform on which you wish to play the files now. And so on down the line of "legacy" and third-party codec compression formats which may or may not be spported by the latest versions of QT which tend to concentrate on newer technologies that support HD compression formats.
What I am saying is that without knowing what codec components were used to create the original file, it is impossible to tell whether you simply need to install currently available components that will allow you to play the files in the QT X, QT 7, use a third-party player like VLC for playback, or whether you would have to re-compress the files that target codecs no longer available for current hardware/software system configurations. Further, I am saying that the first step in solving a playback problem is to clearly define the specific problem in terms of the file container, compression format(s) involved, data characteristics as specified by Inspector, Media, Finder, or third-party utility windows or providing a sample file for analysis if you cannot determine this information on your own.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
All content must be played through iTunes.

How to IMPORT QUICKTIME movies into ipod?

I've created a 2:00 video using fcp and exported it using Compressor as 'video for ipod'. the file is
10 mb.....
I can't get my ipod (60g color) to recognize the file either by 'importing' it or 'adding to library'...
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Mark

Ya everything has to go into iTunes first then it can go to the iPod. Apple has made it so iTunes is the portal and there normally isn't anyway to go straight from computer to iPod, at least not for things to be played ON the iPod.

How to automatically play movies

I have the setting in Player Preferences selected to Play Movies Automatically under the Browser tab. But, the video will not play unless you click on the play button.
Any info appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi - my notes on this.
Play all resp one chapter at a time
Play All Button
1. There are NO - Play All - button in any version of iDVD
2. It can be faked in several ways
• Easiest and most fault proof way is to make a doublet movie containing All and with
Chapters set to match. It will take up x2 space but is easy to understand and produce.
Cons: Tried this in iMovie’11 by Exporting out each part as a full Quality QT.mov then Importing back into new events and putting these into a new project (Play All project). Resulting DVD had Audio that was OK (as parts) - BUT the picture was very bad and standing photo were cut of in hight. So the Play All movie has to be created from same material and exactly in the same way as the individual parts + then Chapters has to be set to match.
• It's said that one can put all movies into a Photo/SlideShow and this will also
give the function of a Play All button - Tested - and ONE HAS TO un-cheque - Scale pictures to TV-Safe area else it will be a black frame all around and a small picture !
Mike Evangelist1
You might be able to get close to what you want by using a slideshow in iDVD. (It's not widely known, but you can put videos in a slideshow.) If you set the slide duration to manual, playback will pause after each movie/slide, and you can continue with the 'next' button.
3. Using another program to do this e.g.. Roxio Toast™ where there is a Play All button option.
Summary
a. Making a Play All movie with same care as the individual Part movies - gives a very Good Result
b. Using Roxio Toast™ - also an usable way to go
Yours Bengt W

How do i play movies from my ipod on my sony bravia tv

how do i transfer and replay movies on my sony bravia tv from my ipod classic

You have the display set in Extended Desktop mode with the MacBook as the main screen. The Menu Bar and Dock will be on the MacBook display and your background screen on the TV but you can move the cursor onto the TV screen.
In System Preferences>Display on the MacBook screen there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the TV and both screens working. When you click the Arrangement tab do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will make the second monitor your main screen.
The TV will now have the Dock and Menu Bar and windows will open on it. But you can move the cursor to the MacBook screen and move windows from the TV over to the MacBook screen.
You can now use your MacBook in Clamshell Mode with a wired or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 When you disconnect from the TV your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.
Or if you want to work on the MacBook screen while showing it on a TV you can check the Mirror Display box on the lower left hand side of the Arrangement tab under the two monitors box. That will give you the same screen at the same resolution on both the MacBook and the external monitor.
