IPod can't play long videos

Hey I recently downloaded some concert clips from a band, some of the clips last up to around 7 mins, and some are just standard 3 or 4 mins. The shorter ones play perfectly on the iPod, but when I try to play the longer ones, it freezes about 30 secs in. I can't escape from it by just pushing menu, but I'd like to play these vids on my iPod. Any suggestions?
PS - If it helps, I used the Videora iPod Converter to convert them from Windows Media

Brian,

Ipod can't play long mp3 files (eg. non-stop music)

I tried to upload 2 files x 90mb+ (70+ mins) mp3 to my ipod shuffle and some smaller mp3s songs. It's a non-stop songs btw.
When I eject and play my ipod, it only play the first 74mins mp3, the second one, and other smaller mp3s cannot be played when i press the 'next' button.
When I open my USB, I can see all those big+small files inside being categorized nicely. When I open my Rhythmbox, I can only see 1 song/album.
Another scenario is when I format my ipod and upload the smaller mp3s followed by the bigger ones, it can only play my smaller ones but will not play the bigger (long) ones.

Try deauthorizing both of the accounts (from the Store menu in iTunes). Then Restore the iPod, and re-authorize both accounts in iTunes. Then make sure you can play songs from both accounts in iTunes, hook up the iPod and sync them over.

Can I play home video on my ipod touch?

Can I play home video on my ipod touch?

So, the only way to watch home video in ipod touch is via itunes? Because in fact i'm trying to use my ipod touch as a video monitor for my DSLR camera while i use it for filming. I thought i could use the hdmi adapter for ipod touch, but everyone tells me that it might not be possible, so i wont buy it without knowing if it is possible or not. I wonder if it is phisicaly possible, so all we would need for that is someone to develop a softare to use the hdmi adapter to watch a video into an ipod. I say this because my camera has a hdmi video out, but it could be with simple RCA cables too. Someone think it is possible?

Why does Quicktime tell me it can't play certain videos created with my Phantom 2 v3 drone ? I fly it and switch back and forth from video to still pics and while I may have filmed four videos sometimes Quicktime tells me that one of them can't be pl

Why does Quicktime tell me it can't play certain videos created with my Phantom 2 v3 drone ? I fly the drone and switch back and forth from video to still pics and while I may have filmed four videos , sometimes Quicktime tells me that one of them can't be played . Checking the info shows that each of the unplayed videos was saved in the same mp4 format as the playable ones yet some of my most important videos won't play . It's getting very frustrating .

first; I use Perian, that helps even though it is no longer supported, (must have for avi files)
the apple-cores at apple have gotten very sloppy -- quicktime is a bit finicky and flakey.
example,   occasionally (when copy file from quad's card to hard drive) the avi will show up as a 'mov' file and qt plays it no problem and no conversion.
but that is very occasionally, most of the time qt won't convert the file,   -- iMovie won't open an avi without Perian installed , I don't know how that effects qt.
qt 7"pro" is no good either, (qt 10 does everything it does and for NOT the extra $35)
I have gone to VLC and MPlayerX for direct playback for drones and cameras.

Quicktime Pro 7.2 Can't Play Lynda Videos Chris Orvig

Hi,
I can't play Lynda videos from "Photoshop CS3 for Photographers" with
Chris Orvig.
They all have the .mov extension. Quicktime Pro gives an error msg,
"error -2048 Couldn't open the file <XXXXXFILENAMEXXXXX> because it is
not a file that Quicktime understands".
I tried Windows Media Player and Media Player Classic from K-Lite, but
neither can play it either.
All my other videos are playing ok. After the error I installed every
codec from K-Lite Codec Pack Full.
It's still not working.
How do I fix this, where do I find a patch?
I've sent an email to Lynda technical support.
Windows XP Pro SP2
Quicktime Pro 7.2
K-lite Codec Pack Full - All Codecs Installed
Windows Media Player 9

I can also verify this (QT Pro 7.2 exporting to .mp4 not compatible
with video iPod [firmware 1.2.1 on both 5G/5.5G units]).
This results in the unusual situation where custom H.264 output
is operable on the iPhone but not the iPod.
Example: your iPhone should play
http://homepage.mac.com/retiarius/sample.elements.mp4
but it won't transfer to a video iPod.
Yes, the workaround is to 'export for iPod' or do the conversion
within 'iTunes', but this in many circumstances will generate
larger files.
The closest description of this situation is:
http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2006-September/015930.html
Perhaps Apple will release a video iPod firmware update soon
to get the 'uuid' atoms and whatever watermarking they are
using these days straightened out.
I'm surprised this hasn't been noticed more by video podcasters
who dutifully use Apple's own QT Pro encoding tool to optimize
filesizes via the tunable H.264/.mp4 codec settings.

I cannot (anymore) play a song on iTunes, nor can I play a video, ie. You tube.

I cannot (anymore) play songs on iTunes, nor can I play a video, ie. You Tube.

I have done a google search, and I used a suggested fix by going to Quicktime; Preferences); Quiktime Player; click on audio source; close Quiktime and iTunes; restart. It then works for both iTunes song and You Tube video. But when I restart the computer, it no longer works.

It is a hardware issue e.g. bad contact between the earphone jack the earphone plug
Consider setting up a mail-in repair for your iPod http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
Or visit your local Apple Retail Store http://www.apple.com/retail/
In case your iPod is no longer covered by the warranty and you want to find a second repairing company, you can try iPodResQ or ifixit at your own risk

Ipod do not play purchased videos

I can not play the videos that I purchased in the ipod store. However, I can play converted videos. What is wrong??

Answering my own question here, it was pretty easy.
I just took the videos off my iPod with EphPod and reloaded them back to my iPod. All the settings were reset and the purchased videos turned back to videos

Can't play the video in my Lumia 520

Hi
I always love the work of nokia and this time trailer app is just Nice but there's a problem.
I have downloaded 6 trailers and only 1 is able to play.
Rest of them says "sorry we can't play this video on your phone".
I have no idea what's wrong with my phone.
Please help.
I have a Lumia 520.
Thanks in advance.

Hi @livinglife,
Welcome to Nokia Support Discussions!
What is the error message displayed when you try playing the video? Have you tried using mobile data? If yes, does it show the same issue? What fixes have you tried so far? By the way, are you using the same phone model?

Can't play quicktime video in IE 11 on Windows 8.1

So, I wanted to watch the sweet new film of the iPhone 6, but after I click the "Watch the film" link, all I get is the player control... I can't get the video to play:
I'm running the latest version of IE 11 on Windows 8.1 64-bit. I also have the latest version of QuickTime v7.7.1.
For what it's worth, I also can't watch the video in Chrome, presumably because I have the latest version of Chrome 37.0.2062.120 m (64-bit) and the QuickTime plugin is only 32-bit and not compatible with this version of Chrome.

I updated quicktime to 7.7.5, restarted my computer, and again I was not able to view the video. Just like the screenshot above, I can see the player, but I can't play the video. I then tried to re-install, by selecting repair as you suggested, and still it does not work.
Surely I'm not the only person with this issue.

I can't play certain videos from the internet on my macbook

I can't play certain videos from the internet on my macbook.
When using Sarfari or Google Chome, I am unable to play some videos on the internet. News clips, posted videos on blogs, and tv episodes from their own network websites. Youtube videos are fine. I doesn't make sense.
I tried downloading an update for quicktime, but the computer claims that quicktime is up to date. Yet, the videos and tv episodes don't play.
I have checked for the most recent software updates, and everything is up to date. Nothing is wrong with the hardware either.
Any suggestions would be awesome! Thank you!

In addition to Flash, you might need some other plugins. Microsoft videos are mostly in Silverlight, and you'll want Flip4Mac to play WMVs. Perian contains codecs for pretty much every video online.

HT4437 Can I play a video from the remote app onto apple tv whilst simultaneously stra,ing music to other speakers via express?

Can I play a video from the remote app onto apple tv whilst simultaneously stra,ing music to other speakers via express?

Thank you for that, I wanted to make sure I was trying to replicate the same thing as you. Just tried it now, works fine for me.
Of note though, this will take a relatively well performing network to achieve this, I have such a network, if your network is not as good as it might be, you might encounter problems.
For the avoidance of doubt, I used the remote app on my phone to get my iTunes library on my computer to stream music to 3 of my Apple TVs, I then used the remote app to control another Apple TV and get it to stream a music video from my computer to it. Of interest I managed to do this while my wife was using yet another Apple TV (not with the remote app) to watch something else from iTunes on my computer.
