Converting TV shows for iPod Video - Please help!

I have been trying all week to get one single tv show on my iPod, but I have had no success. I have been using Quicktime Pro with the iPod video export settings which takes forever, but every time the video is finished, it plays in iTunes with no sound. I have called tech support several times and they offered advice like, "Try using Divx to convert it into a .mov," but it never works. The types of files I am trying to convert are mpeg1 & 2, and .avi (downloaded files from p2p) but like I said, no success. If anyone can offer some straightforward advice about other programs to use, or what I may be doing wrong, it would be extremely helpful. I am using a brand new iBook G4. I understand you can use Handbrake to convert DVD's, but most of my files are tv shows, and would like to have some Simpsons or Family Guy in my iPod. Currently, I am waiting for Quicktime to convert three more mpeg files into the iPod format, and if it doesn't work, I will stop trying completely and stick to only movies, I guess. Oh, by the way, I have tried using iMovie to import files and it also experiences the same issues as Quicktime after it is added - no sound! Thanks again guys, I really appreciate your responses.

QuickTime Pro will not transcode any form of muxed MPEG file correctly on its own.
Forty-TwoDVD-VXPlus ($14.99) will convert MPEG1 but not sure about MPEG2 and M2/AC3 VOBs.
MPEG2QT ($15) and MPEG2 Works 4 ($25) will convert MPEG1/2 and M2/AC3 VOBs. With regard to AVI files there are more than one type. If QT Pro won't handle them then you need to check DivX and/or 3ivX modules. However, as far as I know, DivX are still trying get their QT 7 component to work with DivX v5.x and the v6 has yet to be released.
Tried PSPWare v2.1.4 in free, unregistered mode and it converted MPEG1 files without a problem. But all of my other, more common test file types failed to convert.
Also tried MPEG StreamClip (free) which some users claimed worked fine. It kept cutting off the audio before reaching the end of the video in the target files (w/MPEG4 settings).

IPod video/audio help

I would like to know why my iPod video doesn't have any audio when I play videos. I use the itunes converter to transfer the video but the audio just doesnt work. Can someone help me please and let me know how do deal with the problem?

The language and subtiles have to be changed to match the video you are downloading. I use IVideoToGo and it has that option under properties. You have to change the language to "English" and the Subtitles to "English" or whatever language is indicated on the case of the movie. You have to do it for each movie manually because it is defaulted to "none".

Music fails to copy to iPod Video - Urgent help needed!

Recently i done a stupid thing with my iPod, i done a defrag on it using windows utility. Though i have done it before, no problems. I have though just been told that its a bad thing to do.
After that, itunes did not recognise my ipod (iPod Video), i then restored it using V1.11 firmware, then went onto iTunes to upload all my music, it goes so far (say the first 300 out of 4550 or a number below 300) then stays on random track, then the iPod disconnects. Since then i have used previous versions of the firmware (1.0, 1.1), still does the same thing.
Can anyone help, cause i now live in spain (europe), since moved from scotland. It would be a pain to send it back if its not bust.
Oh yea, my music is all stored on a external western digital HD, connection is a 2.0 USB. Had it for 6 months or so and had no problems with it so far.

Generation 1 vs generation 2 has zero impact on using Enhanced Session Mode to copy files in and out.
Under the hood, Enhanced Session Mode uses RDP. So, the RDP stars must align for the file copy to work. This can be impacted by group policy, improper RDP settings, the VM not being Windows 8.1 or Server 2012 R2 or higher.

Learn. Apply. Repeat.
no settings in group policy.
all other things were identical.
i removed that VM & created new one, since there was no solution to that. maybe a bug.
thank you anyway

IPod video 80gb help??

I just got a new iPod video 80gb for Christmas.
But when i plug it into my PC, it won't start syncing.
All i get i message from iTunes saying something like: The software required for communication with the iPod-unit is not properly installed. Install iTunes again to install the iPod-software. (Bad translation from norwegiean to english, but it's something like that).
And well, i have installed iTunes again (two times) but the same error just keeps showing up.
I've tried to use a different cable, different USB port, and so on, but nothing works.
I do got a iPod mini 4gb that was syncing just great with iTunes, but when i got my new one, after installing iTunes again, even my iPod mini won't sync.
So do anyone know what i should do? That message is all i get, and I've heard with other that it is supposed to come up some questions and stuff the first time you plug the iPod in, but I haven't even seen that.
So if anyone got some suggestions for what to do. I will be grateful.
Sorry my bad english btw:p

Check out these two documents which address the issue.
"Please Reinstall iTunes" message appears.

Ipod Video (iPod Classic) data transfer to Ipod Touch?

I am very interested in purchases an iPod touch, but there is one thing I am curious about before I do. Now I've had my 30g iPod video since the day it came out and needless to say...it's chock full of pictures...songs...videos...most of which are no longer available to me (broken or lost CD/DVDs...lost pictures)...basically just a lot of data that is only on my iPod.
Now before I purchase the iPod touch, is there a way to directly transfer the data from my Classic iPod to the iPod touch? I am aware that there are programs that do this; I'm just wondering if there's an easy way or if it's even possible.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

This article at ilounge.com might help you...they're usually good with situations like this.

I believe they cover both Mac and Windows perspectives of the problem. I wish you luck, I had to do this dance a few times on my old Mac before I finally got the drive space to keep my music on my computer and on my iPods at the same time!

Ipod video & ipod nano

I've got 2 ipod videos currently running on my pc and I'm trying to add an ipod nano to it and my computer will not even see the new device. It doesn't show up in My Computer or itunes. Is there some issue with trying to run that many devices from one pc or is my nano just jacked up? By the way, I've run through the gamut of "suggestions" from apple and it's been no help at all.
Thanks

IPhoto 6 & iPod Video iPod

Using iPhoto 5 I had scanned about 2,500 35mm slides and placed them on my ipod. These were used during lectures connected to a TV - I only had to carry the iPod - beautiful!
All worked beautifully for months then suddenly, whilst syncing the ipod I saw a message 'Deleting photos from ipod'. Some 400 scanned photos (without the suffix .jpg) were deleted from the ipod - but remained 'safe' in iPhoto. During subsequent syncs these have never been synced back onto the iPod. I now find I have to place the suffix .jpg on thename of every scanned photo in order that it will be copied from iPhoto onto the iPod; this was not necessary in the past!
Anyone else encountered this, is it a problem with iPhoto 6.0.6?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
This is not an iPhoto question but an iTunes / iPod one, and you might have more luck there.
You're not adding that file suffix in the finder are you? Can you still see your pics in iPhoto? Even when you click on them to view them full size?

Ipod video volume help!

when I convert videos the volume stops working
is it because these arnt bought from itunes store?
help!
xxx

No, it's probably because they are "muxed".
Quicktime or Quicktime Pro (which iTunes uses) don't convert "muxed" ( muxed means multiplexed where the audio and video are stored on the same track) video files properly. It only plays the video and not the audio.
See:iPod plays video but not audio.
You need a 3rd party converter to convert the file with both audio and video.
See this for help: Guide to converting video for iPod (Mac/Windows).

Ipod video transfer help!!

Hello i have videos already on itunes in the library, and a playlist. it will not update to the new 5G 30 gb ipod... im trying desperatley to find a way to make it work and getting no luck. someone please help me asap please!! thanks katy

The iTunes browser will play your video even though it isn't formatted properly for your iPod. You must open your video in Quicktime, then choose: File>Export...then make sure you save Movie to iPod(320x240)
I have Quicktime Pro, I don't know if this option is available to you. I'm sure iMovie has a similar option if these are home movies you are working with.

MPEG4 iPod Video..HELP

I downloaded the torrent for a video and it is in MPEG4 video fomat. How do I transfer this file to my iPod..or do I have to change the format somehow?

how can I tell if it is AAC?
Open the file in the QT Player. Open the "Show Movie Info" window and check to "Format:" entry information -- Audio and vidio compression encoder, audio samplin grate. Also note the combined total aveage data rate as this may give som indication as to whether or not it exceeds the capabilities of the iPod player. Also, if your check the "Movie Properties" window (may need QT Pro here), you can tell if the movie was created specifically for streaming. (I.e., containe hinted audio/video tracks.) In any case, if it is not compliant, you won't find it on your iPod.
