How to get videos to play on IPOD (what program to use)

Hello folks,
Quick question - how do I get just small music clip videos to play on my IPOD? I'm not even sure why I am asking this question since I have exported in "QT" to .mp4 but they are still not uploading.
I downloaded "VisualHub" and the demo version is only 2minutes of video but I really don't have any more money to purchase any other stuff to get these videos to play so what do u suggest?
Thanks,
Joey Dee

hey CG,
Thanks for the reply, i did a search for this "Videora" and i found it to be only a windows program and I downloaded the file but it's .exe
I have been trying to find a MAC version but I don't think its available - is there a way you can link me that file?
Regards,
Joey Dee

Can't get videos to play in iPod.

I used Quicktime Pro 7 to convert videos of other formats to the mpeg-4 (.mp4) and the ipod .m4u format, both of which should work as they are the formats supported. However, I get a blank white screen when I try to play the videos on the ipod, although the sound comes through-- not the video.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Try this. Go to video-->video settings-->TV Out-->Off
Does that help?

Getting video to play on ipod

Hi.
I'm trying to play a movie on my ipod 30g. I can get vid onto ipod, and it will play the audio but not the video. Tried the four R's, nothing worked. The vid works fine in iTunes, but i do get an error message now and again in iTunes telling me I have a corrupt ipod_control file which is "unreadable".
I ran a repair on itunes which said it had been successfully healed but problems persists.
I'm new to ipod, and not very program-literate, so clear and (very!) foolproof instructions would be very much appreciated.
Thanks.

Any helpful hints on how to get videos to play on my IPad. It constantly stops while it is playing

Videos constantly stop when I try to watch them on my IPad, except the ones I take with my IPad. Videos on Facebook and some on YouTube

If you are testing on public wifi, that hardly helps. Public wifi is always over taxed with users and slow.
WhenI said test, I mean to go on the computer and test the actual speed of your internet and wifi.

Getting videos to play on my iPad

Does anyone know how to get videos to play on the iPad? On my iPhone I was able to convert videos files to mp4 and then they would show up in my library. I can not get my iPad to do this. Anyone know how???

The process is the same but the constraints are slightly different - there are plenty of threads on the subject and as long as the video complies with the specification below, it will transfer. If it isn't transferring then there is something out of spec for that particular video.
H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format

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.

I still don't understand how to get video on my iPhone-HELP!

I have an iPhone and a iPod Classic and I just can't figure out how to get video on my either device, nothing I do works. I'm not talking about buying movies, etc from iTunes, I'm referring to videos I already have on my computer, converting them to the appropriate file extension (which I still have no idea what that is) and then where do I put these videos on my computer in order for iTunes to recognize them and pull them in?
I wish these devices were simplier to work with, where they acted as hard drives and you could just drag and drop what you wanted where and play them. But of course it has to be more complicated then this because Apple wants to control the users experience (sound familiar?)...I'm an advanced computer user and I have to admit that I'm embarrassed by the fact that I can't figure this out.
If anyone can give me SIMPLE instructions and a program to use to do video converstions I would appreciate it.
Thanks.

Im not going to be a great help as im on OS X, bit Ill have a go:
For a number of reasons, iTunes and the iPod/iPhone only support a handful of types of video file. Mainly a file type called .mp4 which is normally h.264 with embeded metadata. This isnt a special Apple video file, and as long as it doesnt have DRM, can be played on many modern devices such as the Xbox360, PSP, PS3 etc.
The only limiting thing you have to watch out for is the resolution of the video as some devices will not be able to play the higher resolution content such as a 1080p HDTV stream on an iPhone, it just wont play!
So what you need to do, if you have videos in many different file types such as realplayer, wmv, and avi etc, you need top convert them to mp4, and then optionally add cover art and tag the file with show name etc.
None of this is built in, partly because Apple wants you to buy content rather than get it elsewhere, and partly as itts a little more complicated than making an mp3 at the moment.
On my Mac I use a program called Handbrake (free) that can rip from DVD to an iphone version, and a program called VisualHub that can convert just about any video type to iphone format. After encoding the video, i use a program called MetaX to correctly tag the video fiels so that they are easy to find in iTunes and so that I can make smart playlists etc. Do this and the files in iTunes act just like if you had purchased them from the store.
Now, I dont know whats good for Windows, but I did a google search and found this which is free and for Windows:

Getting video files to your iPod

Q. How do I get video files to my iPod?
A. First of all for DVD's and the like, you'll need a video capture device(a.k.a. a video card that usually comes with a program that allows you to record video from a number of sources).
Once you've recorded your file which might not be Mpeg-4 or H.264 but will probably be AVI or WMV, what I recommend at this point is the iPod video converter from Xilisoft. this powerful little tool will enable you to open just about any file(WMV,MPEG,AVI...and so on) and convert it to and iPod compatible format. The plus of this program compared to others is not only can you download a trial version, but you get five full minutes of recording without any watermarks(basically print over your new recording that usually says "trial version" or something that can only be removed by purchasing the full version of the product.)
Third, for editing this is where you can put the 40 bucks you spent on quicktime pro to some use. Now you should be able to open your file in Quicktime without any problems and edit your video for final viewing. (That's if you need to of course. Some video capturing devices don't allow you to do editing.)
Lastly, if you can't be bothered with all this editing stuff, drop your new video file into your iPod in iTunes, right click the file once iPod is updated, select "get info". One of the tabs should allow you to input the point or time you want the file to start playing.

They first need to be in iTunes. Find them on the music store under podcasts.
Once they are there, connect the iPod and go to edit-->preferences in iTunes. Clcik the iPod tab. Then click the videos tab. Make sure update all videos is selected. Then click the podcasts tab under the iPod and make sure that update all podcasts is selected. Click OK.
If they are not in the right format, then right click an epsidoe and go to convert selection for iPod. You can highlight multiple episodes and convert them at once.

Getting video to play on my site

I am trying to get video to play on my site in a way that
will not require the user to download flash payers or shockwave
players or anything like that. So far all I am doing is dragging
and dropping an .mpg file into a cell and letting it play on the
site in windows media format. This is all fine but I would also
like to have buttons to the right of the video that when clicked
will change the video to another clip. How can I get button to
change the video and is the method I am using a good one or is
there a better (nicer looking, more user friendly) way of achieving
this effect?

Thanks to all for your assistance. My problem was solved by going to http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302828 This link was provided to me by someone on these discussion boards. Thanks to everyone for their help!
Happy 2008!! Problem solved!

Backing up an iOS device will copy some data to a backup file within iTunes, but this excludes all media. You can also transfer iTunes Store purchases from the iDevice to iTunes but, without using a third-party tool, nothing else. As long as you do not sync the iPod with your new library, the media that's on it will remain ... for as long as it keeps functioning, is not lost, stolen, eaten by the dog, ...
You may also have an option to recover your previous library from your old laptop; as long as its hard drive isn't fried, a computer repair store or technician may be able to extract the drive, mount it in an external enclosure, and copy your data to another PC. Whatever you choose, there is no real alternative to having all your media on your computer, managed by iTunes, and regularly backed up to another device/location.
