ITunes into Freeze converting video to iPod

After importing a video H.264 I tried to convert it to 'iPod' and then Itunes gets into freeze...wheel turning and nothing happends.
Tried to restart. No succes. Tried format mp4...no succes.
Hope some one can help

movies in the format of AVI or MPEG 1, 2 do something called 'multiplexing' or muxing for short. this is basically that the audio and video files get interwoven. iPod is made in such a way that it doesnt support 'muxed' files. so you have to 'de-multiplex' or demux the files.
there r many software which demux files, but theyre hard to find and are expensive. and after demuxing the file uve to go ahead and convert it to iPod fomat which is irritating. what i do is that i use this software called imTOO iPod video convertor (or something along those lines) go to www.imtoo.com and download the file to convert to iPod/ MPEG-4. if u convert to iPod then its a problem if u want to play the file on a big screen since it also reduces the file size. therefore id use the convert to MPEG-4, and keep the resolution size (picture/video size) the same. it should work
or get iSquint (isquint.org)

After update to 10.5.3.3 Itunes crashes on convert video to ipod or iphone version and diagnostics

I upgraded to Itunes 10.5.3.3 today since the dialog box appeared and now it crashes when I select a podcast and create ipod or iphone version from the advanced menu item. I tried running Diagonostics from the Help menu item and it also crashes. Using IPhone 4S.

The following is a copy and pasted reply to the thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1581804&tstart=0.
Your issues are mostly likely related to the issues reported in the thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1542886&tstart=0.
For myself, the solution was to install an updated version of ClamAV. Since I'd done this prior to the 10.5.4 release, I can't comment on whether an update will solve your issue (although I doubt it would, since the update didn't mess with my ClamAV settings).
Hope that helps,

ITunes fails when trying to convert videos for iPod Touch

I have loaded videos taken from digital cameras (Fuji and Canon) into iTunes (latest version) and I can view them using the QuickTime reader (also latest version). Before syncing them to my iPod 4th gen, I go to advanced options and click on Convert for iPod or Iphone. After 1 or 2 seconds, iTunes craps out with what looks a protection exception. (iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for...)
When I click to find out more details, the Error signatures says Appname iTunes.exe, AppVer: 10.1.0.54 Mod Name: coreaudiotoolbox.dll ModVer: 7.9.4.0 Offset: 000b2f84.
I rebooted with same result. The same problem occured many times, with iPod connected or not and using different videos. I tried to download the test video from the Apple site, but nothing happens when trying to download.
I am on Windows XP, SP3, fully patched.
Thanks for helping.

OK. Problem solved.
I removed all Apple software using Add/remove software in Control Panel.
Rebooted.
Used Advanced System Care (free edition) to scan and fix the registry. There were over 200 problems related to iTunes or QuickTime in the registry.
Downloaded a fresh copy of Itunes.
Re-installed.
I can now convert videos to Ipod.
Hope this can help others having similar problems.

Convert video for ipod error

Recently iTunes has stopped converting videos for me. When I right click and choose 'Convert selection for ipod' I now get "Error occured while converting 'file name'. The required file cannot be found."
The file uploads into the library and plays great. This has just started happening in the last week or so, before then it worked fine. I am saving the original files as Quicktime MOV files and in the same location as they were being saved before.

Hi mvlys and all,
firstly, I assume you mean to suggest changing the preferences under the pull-down menu Edit => Preferences and then activate the Register Card "Advanced" and change the "iTunes Music folder location" to the default at installation.
I have never changed this and do not allow iTunes to move any media to the default directory, so there is nothing to change on my installation.
The message displayed in the pop-up says: "The required file cannot be found". This sounds more like iTunes was expecting to find some file belonging to iTunes at some specific location, but cannot. Which file is however not mentioned.
Is this forum being monitored by Apple?
Can we expect them to pick up on this error.

Converting Video to iPod, can you change name of file

When you convert Video to iPod format, can you change name of the new file or put some "marker" so one can tell which is the orginal and which is the new file?
Currently it is difficult to tell between the orignal and the new file.
thanks in advance
Rohit

You'd probably be better off doing this sort of editing in iTunes, and letting it move the files appropriately.
Go to the preferences, Advanced tab, and check the box to 'Keep iTune Music folder organized'. Then any changes you make to song names or other info (within iTunes) will automatically be applied.

Cant hear audio after converting videos for ipod

After i convert any video i have with itunes, it loses the audio. does anyone know how i can fix this so i can watch videos on my ipod with sound

QuickTime expects video files with separate video and audio tracks, but many MPEG formats used a muxed (multiplexed) single track that contains both. Therefore, when you convert videos in iTunes to iPod format they only show the video and no sound since iTunes (really QuickTime) is not looking for the audio track within the video track and it gets lost.

One way to work around this is to use MPEG Streamclip to convert the files to fix this issue...

but there are other applications besides MPEG Streamclip you can try as well.

No sound when converting video to ipod

after i convert video for ipod playback using quicktime the file has no sound???.....

it's probably best to check to see if the source files for that video are "muxed". for some more info on that, see:

Converting videos for ipod

i have converted videos in the past and it works, but now i have .mpg files (itunes lists them as quicktime movies) but when i click on the option that says convert selection for ipod, when they convert they have no sound. So i tried to convert them with compressor, but it wont let me select files that end in .mpg

Convert your mpegs with iSquint instead of iTunes, then import them into your iTunes library/iPod and they should play perfectly. Good luck.

Problems converting video to iPod format

So I just finished setting up my new video iPod, new firmware, latest iTunes version, etc.
I subscribed to several new video podcasts and they were delivered as .mov files. So I right-clicked, selected "convert to iPod" and waited.
Everything went fine (mostly, one podcast kept telling me the file wasn't found, but I could play it in iTunes).
But when I tried to sync any and all of the videos to the iPod, iTunes told me that it was in an unsupported format!
Heck, I even ripped a movie to iPod format (the H.264 codec) with Instant Handbrake and iTunes doesn't like that. Or the video that I created from iPhoto.
Reading here, it sounds like the only option to fix this is to use iSquint or one of the other converters. That's a real whip, since it sorta kills the concept of "easy updating" that is a podcast.
Have we just written off the Apple functionality? Is there a way to make it work? Am I doing something wrong? Is there a problem with the iPod?
Thanks!
Jake

I can be of minimal help. Some Video Podcasts are downloaded ready for the iPod (example: NBC Nightly News) and some are meant to be watched on the computer (Example: MacBreak).
I personally use Quicktime Pro for converting movie files to the iPod. Quicktime Pro has an "Export for iPod" option that has, of course, worked flawlessly. The reason I say minimal help is that you'd have to purchase Quicktime Pro for $30 or whatever the cost is these days. Another advantage is that it'll play your videos fullscreen. Which isn't necessarily a good thing though depending on the video quality.
I personally haven't converted any non-iPod Video Podcasts but this is how would probably do it. Drag it out to your Desktop; open it in Quicktime; Export for iPod and save to your Desktop; Drag the new iPod friendly Video back into iTunes. Could be a better way but that'd work and be my first attempt.

IPod 80Gb-I convert video to ipod but doesnt have any sound

No Audio When Converting Videos For iPod

whenever i convert video files for my ipod they do not have audio. i have tried several programs, and none work. i have read other discussions about this, and found that MPEG Streamclip worked for other people, however whenever i try to convert using this program, it says "Error: Can't Prepare The Movie" Can anyone tell my why i can't convert these videos? i cannot figure it out. thanks alot.

I am not sure what you mean when you ask what the "compression formats" are.The compression formet refers the manner in which the media was encoded and, by extension, how the media must be decoded. I.e., it determines which codec (encoder/decoder or compressor/decompressor) is to be used with the media file.
If you can tell me where to find those i could tell you what they are. I can, however, play the video in itunes, quicktime, and MPEG Streamclip.Simnce the files are playable in QT, the most common place to look for codec information is in the "Show Movie Info" window following the "Format:" entry. E.g., it might say:
Format: MPEG2 muxed, 640 x 480orFormat: Apple MPEG4 Decompressor, 320 x 240, millions
AAC, Stereo, 48,000 kHz
i also am not sure if there is audio in the source file.Do you hear any audio when the original file is played? If not and there is no audio track (or "muxed") information, then there may not be any sound for you to convert in the first place.
how do i find out if it is muxed?If it is "muxed," the format entry we say so. In this case blocks of audio data and blockes of video data are interspersed in a single data stream (track). This is the normal way MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 audio/video data is synchronized. In addition, these formats commonly lose their audio content when converted using QT Pro, iTunes, iMovie, FCE, FCP, or other QT based "frame-to-frame" synchronized workflow. (In the case of MPEG-2 in MPEG Streamclip or QT, the QT MPEG-2 component must also be installed in order to convert the video data alone.)
most of my videos that won't convert for an ipod are downloaded from the internet. how can i find out if they are corrupted or incomplete?Internet files should always be considered suspect -- especially if they come from a peer-to-peer source. Messages that indicated QT cannot open an otherwise fully compatible QT format is often the best indication that there is a corruption problem or that the files were improperly closed at one point or another.
most of my videos that won't convert for an ipod are downloaded from the internet. how can i find out if they are corrupted or incomplete?Normally ypu would post them to a web site or FTP storage area and post the URL. If files were downloadedd from a particular web site (e.g., a QT movie trailer), simply post the URL for the particular web page.

Uploading/converting videos to Ipod

Everytime i upload a video to itunes, and then convert it to my Ipod there is never any Audio, Why is this?????? or how can i restore the Audio to it????

Quicktime, Quicktime Pro and iTunes 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.
Videora is one, and there are others.

Search the iPod video forum for other recommendations (this is the forum for older iPods), but beware of spammers trying to sell you their own product.
