ITunes Rejecting Converted video - Why?

I have a 5G Ipod and am using v7.02 for ITunes. I am trying to copy converted video (Mediafork converted) into Itunes but Itunes does not appear to accept this even when using the 'click and drag', 'add to library',or import methods, or when using third-party software such as Podner. I get a green + icon when I drag to the Itunes Library- but then nothing.
I believe I have converted the video files correctly (MPEG4- fps, bitrate etc), so do not consider this to be the problem. Any idea what the problem is here?
The converted files are presenting as Quicktime - could it be Quicktime over-riding Itudes?
Thanks in advance

It's not converted correctly.
Did you manually set the parameters or use the default settings present in media fork for the iPod(under H.264 menu)?

Used ITunes to Convert Video for IPod, But No Go!

I have a video from a vodcast I want to play on my video IPod. I used ITunes to convert the video from the .mov to .mv4 format. The video plays well in ITunes (in both formats). But when I try to sync it to my IPod, I get the warning that it cannot play on this IPod.
The thing is, I'm able to sync other .mv4 or .mp4 files on the IPod.
Anyone with information as to what's going on?

Itunes and converting video's

Can anyone help me?
I have some movies (Quicktime and Media Player movies) and I want to convert them to AAC so I can use them for my Ipod.
Problem is I don't know how to do that.
I've tried a lot of convertingprograms, but I couldn't find AAC converters.
Please help me, cause I don't want to buy any movies at the Music Store of Itunes.

Please go to this forum iPod with video and read some of the 100's of posts about this very question.
Please note that AAC is a music format not a video format.

Itunes/QT converts video from sound to no-sound

I have a video that has sound. when i convert it for ipod or when I convert in QT to ipod, it ends up converted with no sound. Any thoughts? Thanks!

iTunes and Quicktime don't much like muxed MPEG files, they lose the sound when you convert them.
Here's a post I made with some ways around this: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1171379&#1171379

Dragging cover art wont work. iTunes rejects it!

I want to get artwork for the music i bought on cd and downloaded to my ipod but iTunes rejects it! why even buy the 6th gen if u cant see the album covers anyways. its really rediculous because i bought the songs but i dont wanna buy them twice! Why do they do this? I buy iTunes music all the time and i think i should be able to put whatever cover art i want on it. i hate that dumb music note!

What are you doing exactly? Where are you dragging this artwork from? Have you tried saving a local copy on your machine and then using the Add button to browse out and select the artwork?

When I convert video files to iPod format in iTunes, it lost audio. Why? :(

I right clicked the video in iTunes and hit convert to iPod format. It converted but the audio disappeared. Can anyone tell me why?

See this for help: Guide to converting video for iPod (Mac/Windows).

ITunes laging while converting video

When ever I am converting a video in iTunes to ipod/iphone compatible version, iTunes starts laging. Songs play fine, but when I click the next button, it takes 3-5 seconds to change songs, same for opening up a menu... and forget about using the visualizer.
Does vista have a cap on how many resources a program can use? I have a quad core processor with 4GB of ram and the processors are never over 40% and ram doesn't get above 2gb in use while it's converting. Why does iTunes lag if the computer still has plenty of free processor and ram?

You could try using a different program to convert your videos, such as Videora iPod converter.

Converted video in iTunes but it won't sync to iPad

Usually, I convert videos for my iPad or iPhone using Toast and it works fine. Today, I had an mp4 video and I just dropped it into iTunes where it will play there just fine. However, it will not sync to my iPad. So, I went into the iTunes Advanced menu and had iTunes convert it for the iPad. Even that video will not sync to my iPad. I don't get it. I just converted it with Toast and now it will go on my iPad thru iTunes. I don't get why it doesn't work when iTunes converts it.

Video is a pretty complicated subject. I take it this video wasn't from your normal source so who knows what combination of audio and video codecs were made to produce the thing. I also don't know how iTunes processes video. Some converters can just pass through components and not really re-code them, and maybe iTunes did that to something that to something that really needed re-coding. Maybe you'll find tips at:

Display won't sleep when converting video to iphone in itunes

Whenever I convert video files to iphone under the advanced menu in itunes, my display wont sleep and the screensaver will not come on. I tried using the hot corners and the display sleeps for a few seconds and them awakens. Since conversions can take quite a while, is there any alternate method to sleep or temporarily shut off the display. I have also tried the sleep display widget and it does nothing for me.
Thanks!

if it's still within 12 months hardware warranty call apple and have tech support diagnose the fault. If it turns out to be hardware related -which mine was- SEND IT BACK. IF it's hardware, there's almost zip you can do except wait longer and get closer to the end of your warranty.
My sleep issue...
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=4126127#4126127
was hardware related and I ended getting a refund. Admittedly I have had a REALLY duff machine and the sleep issue was the last in a run of hardware malfunctions but if I never pursued Apple regarding a seemingly innocuous issue I would have come to the end of my warranty and been stuck with it. Now I have my money back - enough to buy a 17" C2D with a 200GB HD for less than I bought the original 15 in CD for. If it's broken get it fixed.
Hope this helps.

Converted video wont add to itunes

Does iTunes convert video

I added many videos to my library converted in the AppleTv friendly format. When trying to add a video to the iphone, an error says video not playable on iPhone (format issue). Does iTunes itself have the ability to re convert video to iPhone playable format? Or does conversion need to be done with 3rd party software? Im surprised iPhone can not play AppleTv video.

Thanks! You say handbrake does the apple universal? I converted video to the applyTv format because it looks good playing on a big screen using the appleTv device. I don't really want to have multiple copies of the same video and also, how to keep iphone separate from appletv video. Would be nice for itunes to add features to do this. Especially since apple devices, ipad/iphone/appletv/etc all use itunes but have their own specific video requirements. Itunes should know if you registered several types of apple devices to your itunes apple account, and when importing video, auto convert to all required device formats. Then when you plug in one device, only supported video for that device is displayed. Also a popup note that "video in other formats exists in the itunes library, but has not been converted. Do you want to convert? yes/no". Itunes then could convert in the background. And auto organize different video formatted items into their own folder in the library.

Can't convert videos to MP3 in Windows iTunes

In the Mac version of iTunes, I can convert a video podcast into an audio-only MP3 file. I do this by highlighting the podcast episode, then going to File and clicking on "Create New Version" then holding down the "option" key to activate the "Convert to MP3."
But when I try this in the Windows version of iTunes, I cannot get "Convert to MP3" to activate. Instead, it remains grayed out and nonfunctional. My Windows keyboard doesn't have an "option" key and neither the "ctrl" key nor the Windows key nor the "alt" key will activate the command.
So how do I get "Convert to MP3" command to activate.

This is SUPER, what I use to convert videos. All the settings I have selected are what I used to get the video to work. The problem I had before is that someone told me that the iPod uses MPEG-4 video, and I assumed that .mp4 was the file extension(Output Container sets what the file extension will be) for MPEG-4. Turns out, it's not. The OUTPUT VIDEO CODEC needed to be MPEG-4, but what I had it set to was H.264/AVC. So the Output Container was right, just not the Output Video Codec.
So basically, the fix is to just use the right settings Which, if you use SUPER, is everything I have shown(Adjust the bitrates to your liking. More is higher quality, less battery life. I just watched "Wanted" last night with those current settings, and it looked and sounded alright, but I'll probably put the audio up to the next level for any future movies).

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.
