Indie movie trailer now in iPod format

And it was 100% cut on a Mac and Final Cut Pro, in fact we purchaced a G5 tower just for this.
Don't watch at work with the speakers loud, some language
This is being entered in Sundance so keep your fingers crossed for it
Bear with me as I do not own a video iPod, none of us do. But we figured people who do don't have a whole lot to watch on them.
The movie site can be found here, which is a larger version of the trailer.

The iPod video can be found here, OST2 is my personal hosting account, it will be uploaded to the movie site soon enough, but I wanted to get this out to any iPod owners right away.

Please let me know how it looks and any thoughts, both on the movie itself and/or video quality.

Again please let me know how this looks on an iPod video if you have one, thanks.
PS: I really need to get one

iTunes: Frequently asked questions about viewing and syncing videos
iTunes: May be unable to transfer videos to iPhone, iPad, or iPod
There are many flavors of mp4 and not all are compatible with the iPod. Y may need a third-party converter like the free HandBrake

Exported movie cannot play on iPod with video

I exported my slide show to 320x240 .mov file (containing a fairplay AAC track from iTunes). I then dragged it into iTunes and it loads successfully onto my iPod with video. The movie shows up in iPod's menu but when I go to play it, I get a black screen for about 10 sec. (length of movie= 5min38sec) and movie ends.
This file plays fine in iTunes6.0.1 and QT7.0.3. I try to export the movie from QT to iPod format but Export is disabled with that movie probably due to fairplay limitations.

Hi anthony,
You will probably get better answers in the iPod Video discussions, but here are two Apple links to help you out.

How can I download movie trailer from Music Store for iPod?

Movie trailers are produced to attract audience to see the film, so there shouldn't be any coryright issues. But why is it that I cannot copy and paste or download movie trailers from Music Store onto my iTunes and iPod? If Apple puts it on the Music Store, it expects people want to transfer it to their iPod. Sometimes just could not understand what these people think!

Thanks ALpinaoman, I am afraid things (and life in the world of Apple) are not as simple as you described it. First of all, some movie trailers - when they are played - do not have a little drop down menu arrow to the far right. Secondly, after transferring (i.e. saving) the movie trailer onto the iTunes on my iMac, only a few can be updated onto the iPod, most can't. The error message on the iMac is: "Some of the videos in you iTunes library, including the video "breakfastonpluto.ref" were not copied to the iPod because they cannot be played on this iPod. Click More Info to visit www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n301461 for more information on creating videos compatible with your iPod." What the xxxx is this ".ref" format? Why can't these stupid IT people sit down and agree on ONE format instead of MP4, MOV, AVi, WMV, asx etc etc etc.
I have used the video iPod for a month now and have all kinds of hurdles transferring video to the unit (easier for DVD, very difficult for VCD, got visual but no sound, etc etc). I have no idea how technically complex the whole thing was when I bought the iPod. I thought it was like recording your TV show on VCR which was low tech (well tech has advanced quite a bit since VCR was invented and tech was supposed to make life easier not more complicated). I guess I need to attend a one year training on computer engineering before I know how to use "user friendly" Apple products.

The videos from my ipod does not transfer to itunes in my macbook pro they dont work it says The document "REGGAETON GRAN MIX 5.avi" could not be opened. The movie is not in a format that QuickTime Player understands.

You need to convert the .avi file - http://www.snowfoxsoft.com/tutorial/how-to-convert-avi-to-itunes.html

I need to know the best, safest way to convert video for Mac. I just had home movies converted to a DVD format a realize now that I need another step to burn them to my computer.

I just had home movies converted to a DVD format a realize now that I need another step to burn them to my computer. This is for a Christmas present! Help.

I don't think you need to use a ripper program to read a home movie DVD. Those are primarily for copy-protected commercial DVDs, right?
I think you just need to transcode the DVD files using a utility like Handbrake, which is free and fast.

TS1382 my ipod will not play any format of film i have tried mp4 and .mov and it says this format not supported what is the problem

i have an ipod classic and i have tried to put films on but every format i try it keeps saying thei format not supported i have tried mp4 and .mov and it will not take it anyone got any suggestions on what format to use and the best way to convert films

If these problem videos are already stored in your iTunes library, try using the iTunes built in convert to convert the file to an even friendlier iPod format. To use it, highlight the video in iTunes and choose Advanced -> Create iPod or iPhone version from the drop down menu. When the conversion process has completed, try syncing the new version over to your iPod Classic.

Added movie (already converted to mp4 format) to iTunes library in my PC, syncronized to iPad2, now how to locate and play it in iPad2?

On your computer's iTunes if you select that video and do 'get info' (control-I), then on the popup on the Options tab change it's 'Kind' to 'Movie' from 'Home Video'.
To sync it to your iPad, connect the iPad and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (if you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), and then on the right-hand side use the Movies/Films tab to select and sync it to the iPad's Videos app.

I received a link to a iTune movie trailer in an email. I clicked on watch now and then play. I was told I need to download Quick Time, but when I clicked on download, I was told that QT is built into Mac OSX. My MacBook has OSX Yosemite.

When I hit the play icon the little arrow thing goes all the way over to the end of the file and doesn't play at all. What gives?
Is this a minimum information puzzle? It is difficult to diagnose a problem long distance when you provide little or no information regarding what actions you are actually taking to export the data or which version of iPhoto you are using. Based on your latest description of how it doesn't work, my best guess is that you are exporting a single frame from your video clip rather than the "Original" file. This is easily checked by opening the file in QT and simply pressing the left/right arrow keys. If the file only contains a single frame, then your export work flow is at fault. Please select the "File > Original" (or similar) option in the export menu to export the entire file in whatever version of iPhoto you are using..

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Exporting movies to iPod format

I've got an iPod video. I've got some files that are videos and using QuickTime Pro to export to iPod format. The problem that I have is that for a 12 minute video, it took more than 12 hours to get to only 39% completed. This is slow by any standards and virtually unusable. I've running QuickTime pro 7.0.3 on a Windows XP 3 GHz 512 Mb RAM.
Can anyone help me? Are there any settings that are not right? Or is this normal?
Many thanks,

I have had the same 8% problem and when I tried contacting customer support, they first redirected me 3 times, then told me they couldn't help me do anything but install and run the demo movie. I am completely upset with apple on this purchase and it seems nobody has a solution to this problem. The worst part is the fact apple suggests "pro" to convert your files and there is no demo or warning how bad this product is for this. Another program in addition to Videora that works way better is PQ DVD to Ipod Converter. I downloaded the demo and the demo is far easier and more convenient than quicktime. It only costs $5 more than pro too.

Converting Movie to Ipod format thru Quicktime Pro

I purchase the QuicktimePro Registration key for Windows(XP), to convert movies(mp4) format to Ipod(30gb).
QuicktimePro DOES NOT convert mpeg-4 to Ipod format, m4v or mov? I know Quicktime pro is only a few dollars, but I spent for something that I did not enjoy. A very useless feature.
Please correct me if I'm wrong. thank you.

Hello Sujay, are you a Quicktime Tech support? sorry it was too late when I found out that I posted my issue in the wrong Forum, this is my first time, I apologize.
Sorry too, that I did not explain in full detail. Yes, I followed the xact instruction in the manual, followed one of the QT-Tech Support, he even gave me a supporting/reading materials related to my inquiry, I have 2 co-workers behind my shoulders who tried to help but no luck.
My OS is XP, Quicktime plays all my movies(mp4)format without a problem, but when it comes to exporting, (Movie to iPod 320X240)the exported movie is successful but still in mp4 format, instead of m4v I believe.
Did you have a successful conversion? Can you tell me where my missing piece is, please? Thank you with your full attention.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reboot the computer
- Try another USB port and cable
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

With New 7.0 how to put movies from Library into iPod??

Help Please.
I now have 7.0 and usually I drag and drop movies into my ipod from itunes library. I have several short movies already in the ipod and it seems if I want to add more, the ones that are in will be taken out and replaced with the new one. I changed my orriginal movies to m4p and did not keep them in the library, so I think I will lose them when I try to add.
The only way I can think of to do it is to revert back to 6.3, put in the movie and then update again.
Is there any way I can keep my movies in the ipod and add more without losing them?? Any ideas??
many thanks Chrisie

additional info: I found some hint that the iPad can't take just any old movie format, so I used "Convert to format for iPad", an option i had never seen on iTunes on my imac before. But sadly, even the .m4v format of the movie will not show up on the iPad under iTunes nor under iMovie.
I can certainly take an iPad iMovie trailer to the iMac if I 'finish' it, but it is a final a product, so i would have to break it up into all the little sections again.
So I still cannot seem to move a movie file to the iPad iMovie edit window. All my 'finished' iMovies show up under "movies" on the iPad, but never under the iMovie edit window. Hope that's clear.
I want to use those new trailers with my home video.
NEWEST Update, still no joy
I found this tech article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4792 that says i can move an iMovie from iOS to iMovie on my Mac. I followed the steps exactly, but iMovie on teh Mac does not recognize the iMovie Trailer, so the Import button stays grayed out.
so close.

Can't re-download movie trailer after earlier premature cancelation

I’m new to itunes and ipods so you’ll have to bear with me. I’ve been having trouble downloading some movie trailers from the apple.com/trailers site. The problem started after I had to cancel the download of two movie trailers before they were complete. You see, I am working off of a 56k dial up internet connection so I did not have the time at that moment to wait for the full download. I didn’t think much of this at the time since I figured I could restart the process later but now when I try to download these specific trailers nothing happens. Itunes will open, and occasionally itunes will go to my video section, but that is it. What is going on? I really want the trailers that I had to cancel downloading earlier. I have been able to successfully download other trailers after this problem so I don’t think my itunes program is having a major error. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Oh, and just to let you know, I have tried to manually download the movie trailer to my computer as a zipped file but I have been unable to at the apple.com site since the links for the movie trailers seem to lead to a command for the itunes program, not to a online file. Thanks.
Windows XP

never mind, I went to account and reported a problem with the rental.

Can i move songs from my iPod to my new matchbook air?

I bought a brand new mackbook air and i had trouble on the migration assisstant because the verification window wouldnt show up on my old dell. I would now like to know if i am able to move songs from my ipod to my new mac without having to use migration assisstant. Please help me! Thanks!

one way to can simply do this (if dragging and dropping won't work), is to simply put the songs that you would like in the playlist into the On-The-Go playlist in your iPod. Once you have put these songs into the On-The-Go folder (by highlighting the song and holding down the center button), simply plug the ipod back into your computer, and rename the folder with the songs in it. Hope this helps.
