IPod can't load .mov video files
Just bought a 30G iPod video and it only accepts .mp4 video files. I have several videos in .mov format that I have created using iMovie. They are accepted by iTunes but don't appear in my iPod after an update. Supposedly the new iPod is compatible with .mov formats (?) As I said, I used iMovie to create my videos ("shared" them for Web posting) and have not used any 3rd party software. Can somebody please give me a hint on how to proceed? I tried converting the .mov files to .mp4, but the video quality suffers significantly.
Thanks in advance!

Do a search of Apple KB Docu in the Support area for iPod 5G/video and also here at the posts, there are tons of answers to your query.
No the iPod video will not play .mov files, iTunes will play any format of QT movie as long as you have the necessary codecs stored in your mac. iPod will play 2 formats, the MP4 format and the H.264 format. See this link
If you have QT Pro, you can use it to re-export your current movies to iPod-compatible/playable videos, inside QT Pro there is already additional pre-sets for you to choose.
Cheers

Help! ipod can't import movies/video...
hope u guys can helpme out. Just bought ipod recently but having problems importing music videos/ movies from itunes. Called apple but they said that the movies is not the right format as my ipod. How do i reformat or import movies into my ipod? pls help. thanks
There is two ways of playing back music videos. They are displayed in your "songs" as well as in "Videos" > Music Videos. When you are playing back a music video from "Songs" then you can only see a small, non-moving screenshot and can only hear sound. However if you play it back from "videos" > "Music Videos" than you can see the video and sound.
Is that your case? -
Can't open .mov video file
I have a .mov file make with final cut on a mac with the Mjpeg A compressor , I try to open the file with my quicktime 7.4.1 on my PC , the error 2048 appears: "is not a valid file format " . I try with VLC , and give me another bad message " MP4 plug in discarded (No Noov box) ". I open the advanced tab on my quicktime and check that the "legacy codecs " is available , then y try to rename the file putting the .mov extension manually , bad results too . The most strange thing is that when I open the file on a mac system it works perfectly.

Hi Everyone
I'm having a problem with iTunes 11.0.1. I can't import .mov video files stored on an external hard drive. I can however import .m4v files from the same external drive. Using either the add to library option or dragging files from the finder.
I can add .mov files from the internal though. Strange I know.
The reason behind this posting is that I'm using iFlicks to convert my TV and movies from my external drive for Apple TV and add all relevent meta data, keeping the files on the external drive and having iTunes link to them.
I would like to be able to simply create a general iTune compatiable file using iFlicks which only takes a minute or two per file to convert. I'm currently converting them to .m4v just for the sack of being able to import them into iTunes from an external drive takes 45 minutes per file.
Has anybody else had this problem? Any ideas on a fix to allow me to import .mov files from an external drive into iTunes without copying it to the iTune library file.
Many Thanks
DaveThis might be worth a shot - basically seeing if Vista permissions could be the culprit.
Give yourself FULL control and ownership of the exHD, let's call it M:
How to Take Ownership and Grant Permissions in Windows Vista
Take control of the top level folder and ALL subfolders.
Try creating a new blank ITL file on M: by pressing *and holding* the shift key while itunes starts. See if you can add everything again. -

Can you import movie videos from SD camera card
Can you import movie videos (MP4) into an Ipad from an SD camera card on a Lightning cable ... or can you only do this from a laptop via Itunes? In other words, is Itunes the only way to get non-Itune videos to the Ipad? Hope I havent made this sound confusing.
To import the videos must follow a very strict naming convention.
All file names must have 8 characters for a name and be located in a folder named DCIM
for example
DCIM
MOV_5789.mp4
You can't watch the videos off the cart, they must be imported into the iPad. They'll go into the camera roll, when you tap on them it'll open the video app and you can watch from there. -

DynamicLink Media Server is not available. I can't open any video file in Photoshop CC and when it does, Photoshop freezers and I can't do anything else. I'm using OS X 10.9.4-3.1 GHz Intel-16 GB DDR3. Any help please?
Indicas que no puedes abrir ningun archivo de video, se supone que has probado varios formatos, mp4, mov,..
Has actualizado el OSX a 10.9 ?, funcionaba antes? La versión de Photoshop es la CC, no la CC 2014?
En el menú de Ayuda>Actualizaciones, cual es el resultado, dice que esta al día?
Tienes abiertas otras aplicaciones?
Prueba a cerrar todo, espera media minuto y abre Photoshop a ver que ocurre.

Converting .MOV video file into FLV format?
Hello, I finished editting a corporate video for client and they want to know if I can also send them an FLV format video.
Does anyone know how I can do this. I edited video in Final Cut Pro and used Compressor to export my final .mov video file.
How do I make this a FLV file?
Thanks~The best method would be to use a Flash encoder to transcode the video. Do you have a Flash encoding application?
Another method would be to export an H.264 file of the video. When it's finished, change the file extension to .flv. It should play in later versions of Flash player, but won't play in older versions.

i have ipod classic 5gen it will not sync with windows the error message says ipod can not sync as required file missing wht to do???
Although you used the new USB 3.0 port, the actual connection speed is still USB2.0, as the iPod Dock connector, does not have the 10 times faster USB3.0 signal pins, the connection speed is still 480Mbits/s
I assumed that you have tried the other USB 2.0 port to no success..
Can you do the iPod Disk diagnostic as posted earlier by tt2, it wont fix your problem, but helps in troubleshooting.
Have a nice day! -
