Video errors for 30g ipod video

Can someone help me? I have a video file i converted to the proper format for my ipod and I was able to transfer it to the ipod, but when I try to play it on the ipod all I get is a black screen and no sound and after about 30 seconds it goes back to the menu.

I think it might need to be converted again...
If you used iTunes's option to "Convert to iPod" it might not have worked properly (iTunes is limited in the types of files it can work with). You might want to try Googling iPod Video Converter, downloading and installing a third party program, running the file through that, and then trying it on the iPod again.
I've used Videora in the past and have had some decent results with it.

Help with converting WMV files to quicktime movies for video ipod.

Is there a way to convert my movies that play with the windows media player to a movie file that Quicktime Pro can use to export to my video ipod?
I am running windows xp, can anyone help??

File size is dicated by the bitrate of the file. From my review of (thousands) of WMV files there appears to be some compression in the WMV format that is not reapplied when save as to a MOV container is performed. You can see in get info the WMV file say 100MB has maybe 125-150MB of data when it is fully loaded in Quicktime.
Thus save as does not apply the WMV compression the same as native WMV is all I can assume and the new QT file (MOV container) is bigger than the source file is.
Exporting to any new QT format (say H264) is going to make a file that is dependent on the new QT bitrate you select but if it is higher than the bitrate shown in the Get Info Inspector box when the original WMV has been opened it will be bigger without a doubt. So if you have a 3Mb/sec WMV file that you export to 700 kb/sec for iPod basic it should be 1/4 of the size. Use 5Mb/sec fo Apple TV it should be 2/3 larger.
I rarely use QT Pro to export and when I do I don't use default settings. I prefer MPEG Streamclip which offers easier control of variables, batch file processing, deinterlacing and other things and it is free.

You need a 3rd party converter to convert the file with both audio and video.

Movies for 60GB iPod

How do I download movies from other countries? The Australian iTunes store doesn't have movies... Thanks!

I have purchased and downloaded movies from www.buyimovies.com . The site does not always work- sometimes it does not accept payments, or the link for the download page does not work, ect. They also send you e-mails for the download, and at first mine were all blocked as spam, so not recieved. However, if you go back later, or the next day, then things are fine. Most of the time it works really well. You just have to have a little patience. They always e-mail back the next day and have made good on all my purchases. They use paypal( even if you don't have it), so they do not get your cc info. Their movies download and transfer to the library and then the ipod as easy as can be. Over all, I think they are worth it.

Solar chargers for 30G iPod Video

Has anyone had any experience using any of the small solar chargers on the market that state they work with iPods. Most of them state that they are useable with iPods but I think they all are tested with the Nano or Mini only, and I'm wondering if they may be a little substandard when used with the larger iPods. Also if anyone has electronic knowledge, can you tell me how to decipher the electronic specs that are listed for them, and which one may be the best one to get. They all list specs differently, and I don't know which ones are important.
Some of the sites I've been researching them at are:

Approximately how many full length movies can a 30g ipod video hold?

Approximately how many full length movies can a 30g ipod video hold?

Most of the movies I have are around 450 mb. So for a 30 gig iPod you should get around 60 movies. I use Handbrake to rip movies for the iPod on my mac and Cucusoft to rip them on my XP machine. The size is user selectable and averages around 400 to 500 mb.

Converting Movies for iPod: No Sound

Whenever I convert a movie for my iPod, there is no sound in the converted file. The original movie has sound, but it is in a form that you can't put on iPod.
By the way, I am using the Convert Selection for iPod/iPhone under the Advanced menu.
Any ideas??
Brad

Try using MPEG Streamclip to convert the videos; more information on this issue is available in this article.

30G iPod doesn't play audio in movies or videos

My 30G iPod doesn't play audio in movies or videos... Can anybody help me?
Thanks!

What is the source of the videos and movies? Downloaded from the iTunes store or did you convert them from other sources? If the latter...
QuickTime expects video files with separate video and audio tracks, but many MPEG formats used a muxed (multiplexed) single track that contains both. Therefore, iTunes & the iPod (both of which use QuickTime) only show the video and no sound.
iPod plays video but not audio of some exported files

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

Availability of movies for ipod video in uk?

Help! I am so confused - I've had a mini for a few years now and have been bought a video for xmas and I am trying to work out if it is possible to download movies on to the new ipod (30gb). ITunes won't let me - only if a US member - is there anywhere else i can get movies from for this ipod or am i destined to a life with just music???
THanks for your help!
Mutley76

I'm not entirely certain, but I think the idea was that even if you couldn't download movies from iTunes, you could still 'back up' (wink wink) your DVDs and such onto the iPod.
And if an Australian user can download music videos, an English one probably can too. That is what the video feature was mainly meant for anyways.
Hope this helps.

Convert Movie for iPod

From a DV tape, I used iMovie HD6 to develop a movie for my grandson. One output would be a file for his iPod. In doing this from HD6, the result was 320x240 and not 640x360 as with iMovie 08 and 09. Any thoughts on how to make a iPod compatible movie that is 640x360?

Best way to do this is to use "Expert Settings" in the "Share" menu, then change the size accordingly, this could have an adverse effect depending on the aspect ratio of the original video

Best and safest place to buy movies for iPod

Recommendation on the best and safest place to buy movies for iPod. iTunes Store has limited supply and does not carry some of those I like. Thanks!

Because of the multiple problems:
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours.
