Movie from itunes to ipod problem

Ok so i have the latest version of itunes(8) and my macbook pro is updated, before anyone asks. I just got handbrake. i used handbrake to convert my movie into mp4 and saved it on my hard drive. The movie goes into itunes fine but when i drag it into my ipod it says it cannot be played on this ipod. why would this happen and how can i try fixing it? please tell me i didnt just wait 3 hours for handbrake to convert a movie for nothing!

when you are working in hand brake make sure that you set the options to insert an IPOD atom. It is a check box on the main page. Also if you are wanting good quality I usually set the options to IPOD High Rez and then set the kbps to 2500. This is good quality and will render a movie at about 1GB level with great quality for big screen but small enough for IPOD.

  • How Do I Move Movies from iTunes to iPod

    I managed to figure out how to convert my DVD's using Xilisoft trial software. Very proud of myself I also figured out how to load the DVD's into my iTunes software and they appear very nicely on my computer scree. The problem I am having is I cannot get the video's from my iTunes onto my iPod.
    The Apple tutorial says "When iPod icon appears in the iTunes window, select it". Well no iPod icon appears in my iTunes window so now what do I do? I am on a Dell Insperion with Windows XP 2002. Thanks

    Thanks Zevoneer,I did take that link you provided and I have been there before but did manage to find a post I hadn't seen before so thanks!. The only message in the post that related to my problem suggests that 7.0 is bugged and says that 6.05 would be a better version to run. Well when I set up the new iPod (this was a gift to my wife that replaces her earlier iPod) it automatically downloaded 7.0. Do I really need to go backwards and if so how? All her music files transfered over seamlessly why doesn't the video function work?

  • Moving movies from iTunes to iPod (6th gen 160gb classic)

    Ok, so recently I've been having trouble with the transfer of my movies to my iPod (I have about 40 movies/TV shows on it already that I've never had trouble with)
    Ex: I have a few episodes of Boy Meets World(not purchased from the iTunes store, but all of them play perfectly fine in iTunes). I put them into a new playlist, selected them all, and dragged the playlist onto my iPod. The issue is that only SOME episodes transfer and there aren't any error messages or anything, they just don't go on my iPod. **I also tried adding them one by one and it still doesn't work.
    I have PLENTY of room left on my iPod for the episodes, they just won't transfer and I don't know why.
    Is it my iTunes (meaning I should probably re-install it), or is it my iPod?

    is your iTunes set to sync all content to iPod or only sync checked items?
    Do you get any error messages stating that the video cannot be played on your device?

  • Upload and download speed is horrible.  it takes hours to download a movie from iTunes.

    upload and download speed is horrible.  it takes hours to download a movie from iTunes.

    VangieChuck the problem is definitely not iTunes it is your ISP download provision. Either your ISP needs to make a service call and solve your bandwidth issues or you need a better service, granted it all depends where in the world you are located. In Kappy's and my neck of the woods we are use to 5 - 250 Mbps download rates with an average of about 25 mbps for most city dewellers. Upload will vary depending on your service.

  • How can I sync movies to my iPod Touch when I get a message saying the movies can not be read or written? I just bought the movies yesterdayfrom iTunes with no problem.

    I purchased four movies from iTunes yesterday and want to sync them to my daughter's new iPod Touch.  I have been able to sync apps, music, contacts, etc. but keep getting a message stating the movies can not be read or written. I was able to sync one movie, a digital copy that I used the code to copy from iTunes earlier today without a problem.  Can anyone help?

    thanks for helping, I am able to watch the movies in iTunes, but, I can't choose the create iPod or iPhone version in the advanced menu.  Do you have any other suggestions?

  • Problems Moving Ripped DVD from Itunes to Ipod

    Problems Moving Ripped DVD from Itunes to Ipod
    I am having a problem transfering ripped DVD's from the Itunes Video folder to the actual Ipod. I thought one of the cool points of the Video Ipod was that you could play DVD's on it. I know I needed to use special software to achieve this since I researched it here. I am using Handbrake Lite since regular Handbrake look too daunting for me. I also used Isquint, since it was recommened here. I used both without changing anything on both of those progams other than click the go button. The DVD's will play in Itunes but it won't allow me to drag them to the Ipod. They are in the Video folder in Itunes. What in the wild, wild world of sports am I do'in wrong? I assume it's something stupid because the device is stellar. Hope someone out there can lend us a hand.
    Kind Regards,
    Julias

  • Problem transferring video from iTunes to iPod

    I can't transfer video from iTunes to iPod. DVD movies converted to MP4 using Cucusoft software and a TV show purchased from iTunes Music Store won't transfer. The only video that has tranferred successfully is a video podcast called "Tiki Bar". It did ok.

    Connect the iPod and go to edit-->preferenes. Click the iPod tab. Click the videos tab under that. Make sure automatically update all videos is selected.
    Note: Your preferences may look slightly different.
    Also, try playing the video you purchased from the iTunes Music Store for a few seconds on your computer.

  • Why don't purchased movies from iTunes USA and Italy no longer sync in my iPad2 and iPod touch 4?

    I used to be able to sync purchased movies from iTunes USA and Italy to my iPad 2 and  iPod touch 4. No more,  even before I upgraded to iOS6.

    - Transfer itunes purchases to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - You can also redownload them by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - When they are in your iTunes library, connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.

  • HT1657 i rented a move from iTunes...i was on a plane and tried to watch it, but got a message that there was a problem in accessing the iTunes store.  i had a wifi connection, but had to buy internet access to watch the movie.  is this normal?

    i rented a movie from itunes.  i was on a plane when i tried to access it...but got an error message saying "cannot access itunes store".  i had a wifi connection but had to purchase internet to watch the movie on the plane.  never had this problem with my ipad and never have it when i download tv shows.  what's the deal with movies?

    It's not normal, presuming that the movie downloaded completely, but it has come up from time to time. I've not been able to figure out from the various posts why rentals work for most but in some cases insist on a connection to the iTunes store. Go here:
    http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
    to report the issue to the iTunes Store. Perhaps they can provide an explanation, though you may just get canned and rather inapplicable replies about how to rent or download.

  • Can't transfer movie from itunes library onto ipod

    I recently downloaded a movie from itunes onto my laptop. When I tried to manually drag the movie from the library to my ipod i got the following message" The ipod is currently linked to another itunes library. In order to copy the movie to this ipod, you must link this ipod with this itunes library. Doing this will remove 24 tv shows from this ipod. How can I get the movie onto my ipod without erasing the tv shows?

    Make sure "Manually manage Music and videos" box is checked under Summary tab.
    If the box is already checked and you are still not able to drag it over, highlight the video in movie library and go to iTunes menu ADVANCED and select "Create iPod or iPhone version".  Drag the newly created version over.
