Importing movies to iPod gives an error

I'd like to import a movie from a bought Music-CD to the iPod. The movie is available as *.mov and *.mpg. importing them into iTunes worked but converting it for the use in iPod gives the message "An unknown error appeared (-50)"
What's wrong with iTunes?
I converted it with Nero-Recode to *.mp4 and everything worked fine including importing and playing in the iPod.

Depending on how your video was created, you may need another application to convert the video to a iPod compatible format.

  • Cs6  Trying to import .mov I keep getting the error "no audio or video streams"

    I have 2 projects and I can not import .mov I keep getting the error msg "no audio or video streams"

    I know this is an old thread, but this may still help someone having problems importing .mov files into Premiere Pro CS6 (or earlier versions) in Windows 7/8.
    - Go to control panel
    - Appearance and personalization
    - Folder options
    - View tab
    - Un-check Hide extensions  for known file types
    - Hit OK
    - Find your FILE.mov file and rename it to FILE.mpg
    Try importing the newly renamed .mpg file to Premiere and it should work. PP CS6 kept crashing for me, but once I renamed the file, it imported perfectly. Hope this helps.

  • PE 10 importing .mov files to a Mac, error message regarding codecs missing.. Help, please

    Premiere Elements 10 ... When trying to import .mov files directly from the source, error message says, "codecs missing or unavailable". So I'm stuck.

    I have no experience working with a Zoom cam. But sometimes it helps if you install the camcorder's software on your computer. This can install the necessary codecs. (And, of course, make sure you have the latest version of Quicktime, per the program's requirements.)
    Most likely the cam shoots in a proprietary MP4 codec. So starting a new project and setting it up for Flip cam video might also activate the necessary codecs.
    If it still won't go, then version may not have the ability to interface with this camcorder's footage.

  • Import movie from iPhone gives "An unknown error has occurred while reading the video file. Connecting to Dynamic Link server failed. (1)

    Tried previous suggestions about purging the Camera Raw Cache and I raised it to 20.0 GB.
    Still lightroom fails to read most of the videos that I create on my iPhone 6 plus.
    Aperture, iMovie, and Image Capture have no problem with these files.

    This is an iPhoto problem. It is, IMHO, one of the worst photo/video programs ever thought up by any company.
    I suggest you find your original video files, which won't contain any edits and or adjustment you have made in iPhoto, and copy them to some other folder on your drive that you create and then import them to LR.
    Usually iPhoto stores all original image and video files in a folder called Masters buried deep inside the iPhoto Photolibrary package folder. Which makes almost impossible for any normal computer user to get to.
    Next time you are in the market for a new computer think long and hard before you drink the Apple Mac Cool-aid.

  • Importing movie to Flash 8 and error message appears

    I have tried to import a movie into Flash 8 and the message appears "The operation could not be completed as an error has occurred".  It will not pu the movie on to the stage.  Do you think there is something wrong with the movie file or am I missing a step?  This is what I do:
    1) open a new flash file
    2) file - import video
    3) browse to find the movie file and then click next
    4) Click the option 'progressive download from a web server'
    5) I dont change any of the default settings and I don't want a skin on it
    6) It runs through like it is making the file and then the message appears "The operation could not be completed as an error has occurred".
    Any ideas what I am doing wrong??
    Thanks,
    Rachel

    Now that I have restored my pc to the time before installing Autodesk, the
    import facility now works again.
    If you have installed programs that you do not really need, the best thing
    to do is either uninstal them, or restore your computer through the control
    panel.  If you do need them you could try using another flash encoding
    program, encode it through that and then open the file in your flash
    program.
    There is also a program called "Super" that enables flash encoding.  It
    sounds good, and I am going to check it out as it is a freeware.
    If it works well I may use it to encode the video into flash:-
    If interested, here is the link
    http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html
    I too have very little knowledge in computers, but I like the creative side
    of using flash.
    Hope this helps a little.
    Let me know how you get on.

  • Moving iTunes library from old computer using iPod gives me error message?

    My old computer recently died. I have a new computer-- a Vista-- that also has iTunes. I am trying to move my iTunes library from my old computer to the Vista using my iPod, which I heard you can do. My iPod has all my old computer's songs on it.
    I used the 'transfer purchases' command, and all of the songs from the iPod appeared on the Vista's iTunes screen. However, any time I tried to play one of them, an exclamation mark appeared next to it and I got an error message saying "Itunes cannot play this song because it cannot locate it" (or something like that).
    Not all of the songs have this problem. Some of the transferred songs can play just fine. But over half of my transferred songs have that damned exclamation mark next to them.
    Here's a screenshot of what I mean:

    Hi,
    Probably the best and easiest way to do this, is the following:
    First Enable "Disk Mode". You can read [here|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93446] more info about this. Then make sure that the "Keep iTunes Music folder organized" option is checked in iTunes Preferences:
    . Open iTunes.
    . From the Edit menu, choose Preferences.
    . Click the Advanced tab in the Preferences window and then click the General tab.
    . Select the "Keep iTunes Music folder organized" checkbox.
    After doing that, move the entire iTunes folder to the iPod Disk.
    Once, you'll transfer the library to other computer using the same platform, this will not only copies your audio files over, it also retains your ratings and playlists...
    On your new computer:
    . Open iTunes.
    . From the Edit menu, choose Preferences.
    . Click the Advanced tab in the Preferences window and then click the General tab.
    . Click the Change button in the iTunes Music folder location pane.
    . In the Change Music Folder Location window that appears, navigate to the location where you would like your new Music folder to be created.
    . Click the Make New Folder button in the Change Music Folder Location window.
    . Enter the name of the new iTunes Music folder.
    . Click OK in the Change Music Folder Location window. Click OK in the Advanced window.
    . From the Advanced menu, choose Consolidate Library.
    Hope this helps!

  • How can I make Photoshop Elements import files after it gives incorrect error code?

    I had 17,000 photos on my hard drive well organized in folders before installing Photoshop Elements 11 today. I was able to get it to import only 467 into the catalog. I tried browsing, searching, selecting files and no matter what I did to bring inthe remainders (including trying to bring in folders with only 60-80 in each, moving files into new folders, etc.) and still can't see them in the organizer view. It allows me to highlight the folders or highlight the photo jpg files separately, says it is getting media, but then comes back with message that "files are not in correct format or are in the catalog" but they ARE in normal format jpeg, can view in other programs, and they are NOT visible in the catalog. Very frustrating, especially after wasting hours downloading the program from Amazon Marketplace - took hours, then had errors and had to redo twice. Running WIN 7 on 6 month old Sony computer with 8 GB RAM and quad processors. Thanks for any help.

    You should try posting in the PhotoShop Elements forum, especially if no one else here has a better suggestion to offer.  It is possible someone else has encountered the same problem and you could search there to see.  If you post there and you do have an error message, you should include the details of that error message.

  • Unable to import movies into ipod

    I have a 30 gig ipod Video. I have had several movies on my ipod which worked just fine. About four weeks ago I attempted to add a movie (in the proper format), and it would not copy into the device. I recently re-synched the ipod and all music came back but none of the movies. I also cannot add movies. I choose to add files manually as opposed to auto synch. Thanks for any advice.
    Steve G.

    Are they rental movies? I'm told the rentals only work on the newest iPods such as iPod "classic" and the iPod touch.
    If the iPod is not working properly, try doing a Restore in iTunes to get it back to original settings.

  • I have a an iMac 27" and am trying to import some videos of a friends wedding into iMovie however one of the movies won't import. It doesn't say why or give any error message or codes. All of the other movies on the card download with out a problem.

    I have an iMac 27" and am trying to import some videos of a friends wedding into iMovie however one of the movies won't import. It doesn't say why or give any error message or codes.
    All of the other movies on the card download with out a problem. The movie in question is not 'corrupt' as you can watch it in iMovie direct from the SD card but as soon as you try to import it, it  just says 'error'. iIve tried moving the file to an external drive ( and other variations on this theme) then importing but have had no luck.
    Can anyone please help me.

    The mystery remains....
    Thanks for the pointers. The file type is .mts (a proprietry sony one).
    I have now found some video converter software (Wondershare and iSkysoft) at a cost. Either will convert this file for me into .mp4. This I can then import into iMovie without any problems. I've checked this on the trial versions and it worked well but without paying am left with a giant watermark in the video
    The mystery (which I still havent solved) is why did 20 other .mts files import fine and then this one not?
    If you could point me in the direction of some free .mts converter software that would be the cherry on the cake.
    Thanks

    Check for hardware issues
    Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the alert when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
    Common errors: 1, 10-47, 1002, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1000-1020.
