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.

  • 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.

  • Getting videos onto ipod

    i have just bought a fifth generation ipod and i have used videora to convert my mpeg and avi videos but cannot get them into itunes. Can anyone tell me how to do this or if there is a different way?

    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 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!

  • How do i get videos onto the new ipod?

    haven't been able to figure out how to get videos onto the ipod. tried to click and drag a home video into the video section but that didn't work. any help would be greatly appreciated.
    also, where do i go to get an episode to download onto the ipod?

    Hi Sebastian,
    Use iTunes to put videos onto your iPod. Make sure you have the newest version (by pressing Help, then selecting check for iTunes updates).
    Once you are sure you have the newest version of iTunes, just press File -> add file to library, or drag your video file onto the iTunes library. Then all you need to do is update your iPod.

    It's possible that it did actually add the game but you're not seeing it in iTunes. Go to iTunes Preferences > General and make sure there's a checkmark next to iPod games.

    My dad has itunes on his PC. I don't have my own but I recently have an iPad mini and an iPod. I don't know how to get songs onto itunes on the PC, using a different account or at least private/ separate..
    So how do I create a separate I tunes on a PC which already has itunes... Or if not can I plug my iPad to the PC and use itunes on my iPad, and drag mp3s from a computer.
    I'm not sure what the equivalent of a desktop is on the iPad.. And I don't actually know how to use the icloud either...
    Can anyone start me off, given it have a iPad and use of a PC - not mine with existing iplayer
    I do have spotify soundcloud so I could potentially use these.. If there is a route of getting either mp3's etc to end up on my iPad or iPod.
    Kind Regards
