MPEG-4 Video Files going into Music Section of itunes

I recently had to restore my ipod because of some problems to it so i decided to get some software to back up all of my videos on the ipod (about 25GB worth). I transferred all of them to my computer and then restored the ipod. I tried putting the MPEG-4 videos onto the ipod but they keep going into the Music Section and not the video section. I can watch them using quicktime (they come up with video and sound) but in itunes it is just sound. Anyone got any ideas as to whats the problem? Any help would be great as its so much effort involved into putting videos on an ipod

  • MPEG-4 video's turned into audio files

    I installed a phrasebook from coolgorilla, and after that all but 4 of my video's weren't in the video section anymore, but they were all on my ipod and they were shown in iTunes as MPEG-4 files,however the video options in the settings weren't there, is there any way to get them to go back to video's?

    I am using the latest version of itunes as well.
    Let me make my problem a little clearer. The files are no longer on my ipod under the menu heading "Video" they have moved to "Music".When I try to play one of the moved files on my ipod it plays it as an audio track. I always keep my video settings as ask but the ipod isn't even recognizing these files as video files anymore.
    When I try and play the file in itunes it plays properly . I should mention that the little TV icon that used to be next to the file to show that it is a video file has disappeared.
    In my tinkering around I am thinking this is an itunes bug that for some reason my itunes stopped tagging these files as video files ...Gonna try reinstalling itunes.I will update if I find a fix.

  • I have iMovie '11, and I am unable to access mpeg HD video files that I want to edit.  The files are fine (I can open and watch them using VLC), but I cannot seem to import the files into iMovie. File Import does not work.  Any suggestions??

    More detail: I have a bunch of mpeg HD video files that were shot on a SONY HDR-HC3 Handycam camcorder.  I would like to edit these into a single video production.  I can access and view the mpeg files using VLC (Quicktime does not work with them).  However, I seem to be unable to get the mpeg files to interface with iMovie '11 -- I cannot use the File --> Import command, nor can I drag-and-drop them into iMovie.
    Is there something anyone might suggest to get this to work?  Or are these files incompatible with iMovie?  If so, I assume I must purchase a different video editing software program (e.g. Adobe Premeir Pro).  Suggestions???
    Many thanks in advance for your time and consideration

      Yes, I tried that.   The files were ordered by their original numbers as imported from the camera, but I batched them through Phocoshop to downsize all of them into a more manageable file size.   I opened that destination folder from quick time  from where it said select image sequence.   I clicked on the first one and opened it.   The result was a large image with an arrow indicating a movie was ready to go.   When I pressed the arrow, though, I realized it had only imported that one frame so there was no movie.   The files are Jpgs and are about 450 KB each. 
        To your knowledge are there any links to iMovie tutorials or quick time tutorials that may address this situation?  Maybe there will be one I haven't looked at yet. 
        Thanks

  • Some  Mpeg 4 video files not working under Window 7

    I recently purchased a new PC running under Windows 7 OS. Obviously I have installed the latest version of ITunes and QuickTime player. I transferred all my music and video files from my vista laptop to the PC. The music files play fine using ITunes and the most recent music video files play ok too, but there seems to be a problem with the older music video files. When I try to play one of the older music video files, ITunes asks for authorization for the new PC to play the video each time I try to play the same video. ITunes grants authorization each time, but the video does not play, it shows that the video is playing on the progression bar but the music video is not displayed.
    I have tried to play the music video using windows media player, but windows media error message says that it doesn't support the format of the music video.
    I am perplexed as to what is going on; why will the newer music videos play through ITunes and not the older ones, and why doesn't windows media player support Mpeg 4 video files?

  • MPEG-3 video files won't play in iPod

    Hi everyone,
    I'm having a problem with a few of my iPod video files. They play fine in iTunes when my iPod is connected, but only the audio plays on the iPod itself. They all used to have the TV icon next to their titles, but now they don't anymore. I would reload the files, except that I mistakenly deleted them from my iTunes library. Any advice?

    You know, I misspoke when I typed MPEG-3. They're MP4 video files. I actually purchased a couple of them off of the iTunes music store. They only show up under the Music category of my iPod. Any other suggestions?

  • Quicktime Movie File/ MPEG-4 Video File

    how come for some of my video podcasts they are in teh MPEG-4 Video file format, while others are in Quicktime Movie File format?
    i was j/w this because i noticed it when i jus recently downloaded new podcasts (it was first time downloading a podcast from iTunes 7.0.2) and i was jus wonderin if there is any way to get it into MPEG-4 Video File....because i already right clicked and went to "convert selection for ipod" but then it says it is already in that format, but it is in Quicktime Movie File....
    any help would be appreciated
    Thanks,
    Brandon

    Quicktime files can be MPEG-4 video, and should be
    transferable to your iPod.
    If you get info on the video file in question what
    does it say?
    when i click get info it says the kind/type is a quicktime movie file.....i was jus mainly wondering why some podcast videos have quicktime video file, while others have the mpeg-4 video file...its almost like and OCD (obssesive complusive disorder) thng for me.....but as long as they can still transfer to the ipod i should be fine....

  • MPEG-4 video file format and IMOVIE.....help!!

    I am completely new to IMOVIE and I am trying to import and DVD into it. I used ROXIO CRUNCH to convert a VIDEO_TS folder to use in IMovie. It converted it into a MPEG-4 Video file which is completley pixelated and not viewable. However IMovie did let me import it. What do I need to do?

  • Diff between "MPEG-4 Video File" & "MPEG-4 Movie" (PC) ?

    iTunes seems to play both video types. I have several dozen of each on my PC. Both are in my iTunes "Movies" folder and all are video.
    The "MPEG-4 Video File" icon is the little music note on top of a CD with "MPEG 4" under it.
    The "MPEG-4 Movie" icon is a little "Q" in what looks like a film frame with "MPG4" under the Q.
    Is there difference in the way iTunes handles either and should I save video files in one mode or the other? Why?
    Thanks!

  • If I import audio books into the music section of itunes it lists the books as albums and all the chapters as tracks fine when I sync them to my ipod classic, but not if I import them as audiobooks, any ideas please?

    If I import audio books into the music section of itunes it lists the books as albums and all the chapters as tracks fine when I sync them to my ipod classic, but not if I import them as audiobooks and then sync them, any ideas please?

    If you import the audiobook as an audiobook to your iTunes Library, it will be listed in the Books section of your Library. You may need to turn on Books in order to see them. If you cannot see the File/Edit... etc. menu, use CTRL B on your keyboard to make that menu bar appear. Then go to Edit/Preferences>Books and put a tick in the box.
    But, if the imported audiobook shows up in the Music section of your iTunes Library, highglight the files (in iTunes) and select File/Get Info/Options/Media Kind>Audiobook. These files will now transfer to the Books section of iTunes.
    Once on an iPod Classic, look under the Audiobooks menu. Again, you may need to change the settings in the Settings menus, in order to have the Audiobooks option shown on the Main Menu and/or the Music Menu.

  • To Decode and play  MPEG-2 Video files with JMF

    Hi ALL,
    I amin serious trouble with a problem. I am developing a Simulator, a function of which is to decode MPEG-2 Video files in real time and play it as well.I have got a MPEG-2 Decoder implemented in C from an open source and need to integrate with my Simulator which is writtebn in Java. The integration part I am doing via JNI(Java Native Interface). Now I have a bunch of C files in MPEG-2 decoder which are to be compiled during the Execution of the Java Simulator.Can anybody give some idea about how to call multiple C files from the Java Source through JNI at one go? Another problem I am facing is in calling a single C code from the traditional "HelloWorld" Java Code itself. The problem comes when I am trying to compile the shared library between the C native code and Java Code in my Linux Machine...I am getting the following message:
    /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/.../../../crt1.0 : In function '_start' :
    /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/.../../../crt1.0(.text+0x18): undefined reference to 'main'

  • Upgrading to iTunes 10.6.0.40 imports MPEG-4 movie files as "QuickTime movie file" not "MPEG-4 Video file"

    Recently updated itunes to 10.6 and since then adding any new MPEG-4 Video file itunes is flagging as QuickTime.
    This creates an issue since my Apple TV doesn't recognize these types of files in iTunes.
    To validate it's the itune upgrade, previous "MPEG-4 Video file" entries added and played on Apple-TV were imported an now show as "QuickTime Video file"
    Thx

    This problem has been resolved after the ATV update was received. 
    The ATV now recognizes the videos marked in itunes as Quick time eventhough they are Mpeg-4 video files.

  • Problem with MPEG-4 video file in N70

    I wanted to transfer MPEG-4 video files from my computer to my N70 phone. I put the files to the same place where others videos are, and when I tried to watch MPEG-4 video it complained that the phone can't repeat it.
    I checked from nokia sites that my phone should actually repeat them with RealPlayer, but for some reason i cant watch the video, allthough all my other videos which i've taken with my phone are also MPEG-4. So is there anything i can do??
    Sorry for my bad english. Im from Finland and 15 years old, so ...

    If I remember well, N70 plays mp4 video without problems. Try resizing during encoding to 176 x 144 and reducing frame rate to 15 frames per second. Also try to keep data rate below 200 kb/s. If you are using MediaCoder do not go with default settings for Nokia N70, they are too optimistic.
