My old movies now only play the audio

My old movies that used to work just fine on my 60 GB Ipod are now only playing as audio files.
The problem started about a month ago, not sure why. Probably windows, lol. When i went to the video list all of a sudden EVERY song and video was being displayed as a video. However, the tracks that were truly videos were playing as audio only. So i went to video settings and made sure that it wasn't on tv out. The problem persists. So then i connected my ipod to my computer and under the ipod summary screen it says i have audio, photos, but no video. So i went to "get info" on the videos to see if they had changed into audio files but it still says under "summary" and then "kind" that it is a MPEG-4 video file. So then i tried playing it in itunes and IT WORKS FINE! I will mention again that all these videos were playing just fine before. What is going on!?!?
HEEEELP!!!!

Go to edit-->preferences with the iPod showing up in iTunes and hit the iPod tab. Then hit the podcasts tab under the iPod. Make sure transfer all podcasts is bubbled. Now go to the videos tab and make sure transfer all videos is selected. Click okay.
See if they now appear

    Hello hmcc44,
    You may need to delete the items from your iTunes Library, then redownload them.

    If the issue persists beyond that point, I would recommend reporting an issue with the tracks to the iTunes Store.

  • Saved File Only Plays The Audio?

    hey guys
    so i loaded a .mov file that i downloaded and was editing it in iMovie 08 but when I go to export it, it saves and everything but then when I go to play it.. there's only the audio and no video??
    any help?
    thanks!

    Now when I open it, it opens in Quicktime (i tried iTunes also) and plays the audio but where the video should be is just black.
    As Winston indicated, it sounds as if your source file compression format is either Apple Animation or Apple Video. Both compression formats will import and edit in iMovie '08 normally but export with a "black" screen and a data rate little more than that of the audio track alone. This problem has existed since the initial release of iMovie '08.
    i'm sorry for sounding like an idiot.. but can you tell me where to find that?
    Load the source file (i.e., the one you imported to iMovie '08) into the QT Player. Go to the "Window" menu and select "Show Movie Inspector." When the "Inspector" window opens, check the information given in the "Format:" line.

  • YouTube only plays the audio how to get it to play audio and video

    I can't play youtube videos in firefox. I only get the audio portion without the video. It was working fine. No new programs. No new plugins. No changes I can recall. How do I fix this?
    I'm on Windows XP

    You can check for problems caused by recent Flash updates and try these:
    *disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
    *disable protected mode in Flash 11.3 and later
    *disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin
    *downgrade the Flash player to version 10.3 or 11.2

  • IMORTED AUDIO/VIDEO FILE ONLY PLAYS THE AUDIO WITH A BLACK SCREEN

    I'm trying to put a DVD together of my friends' concert, but every time I export from AVID to a QT file, import it, transcode it, and put it in a timeline, it only plays audio and a black screen.
    I went back into AVID and made sure that I exported both audio and video...I did. Then I checked the QT file, and it plays the audio and video.
    I exported the files as uncompressed. Should I use a compressor?
    PLEASE HELP!!!
    Thanks.

  • Somehow music showed up in video area, viedo now only plays choppy audio

    So I turned on my Ipod this morning, and noticed that when I accessed the Ipod Video section that the responsivness went way down.
    It took about 10 seconds to get to the menu inside of Videos, then inside my movies, there are a whole bunch of songs that don't belong there. Furthermore, the movies also contain files that used to be in with TV Shows, and all my titles in TV Shows are now alphabetized, the season breakdown has disappeared.
    When I click on a video, it takes a good 20 seconds to load, and then, only the audio plays, and not the video.
    Seriously, this Ipod is not even 2 months old. It should not be doing this...
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.
    JM

    I want to update this.
    I got home tonight and plugged in my ipod to see what was happening in my itunes interface.
    All files show up as music, even the video. Which is weird, because on my ipod iteself video shows up in the video directory, it is just mixed in with audio files.
    If I play the video files, then the video screen in the browser will popup and play the video fine.
    As far as I can tell, I cannot drag stuff from music into video, so I am totally lost.
    Someone has probably experienced this before, so please, anybody, HELP.

  • How could I fix a podcast video that only plays the audio?

    My series of videos submitted to itunes podcast play fine except one, that only the audio plays but no video, how could I fix this?

    Post a link like this so people can easily right-click and download the feed to take a look at it or copy/paste URL into post.

    After looking at the 803 KB file you can see (well, hear) that the m4v file is only audio. http://www.40dayusa.com/photos/339485388_6Fv5j-640.mp4
    This might have happened during movie export or file upload to server. After checking that the video plays in QT player locally re-upload the file to the correct directory with audio+video.

  • Recently updated iTunes to 11.1.1.11 and now my Disney movies won't play - the audio keeps dropping out. Any help?

    Never mind ... cleaned the cache, cleaned the disk, cleaned the Java cache - it works.

    I've tried going through those steps prior to posting. This link that others and you have provided takes me to these instructions. There are no specific steps to uninstall and reinstall itunes. I did so anyway a couple times to see if anything changed. It did not. If I'm missing something, please let me know--it's really appreciated. I'm not using windows and it is my understanding that when you delete itunes (which I did through terminal) it deletes everything, so you don't have to go searching for random files as you would with Windows.
    Note: This article is for Mac OS X users. If you're using a Windows PC, please refer to these troubleshooting suggestions.
    Follow these steps to resolve your issue:
    Ensure that your Mac meets the minimum system requirements for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
    Install software updates on your Mac.

    Check USB connections. iOS devices require USB 2.0 to function properly. If you're not sure your Mac has USB 2.0 ports, refer to the computer's specifications.
    Disconnect other USB devices and connect your device directly to a USB port on your Mac.
    Restart your Mac.

  • Only play the audio part of my H.264, mp4 Video??

    Hey guys,
         Im currently running Lion (10.7.3) on my macbook pro, but i also have windows bootcamped on here as well. I was doing a bit of gaming on the windows side and i used a program called "Fraps" to record some of my gameplay, and i then wanted to edit it with iMovie '11. Fraps uses its own codec, and its a .avi file nativly. I used a program called "VidCoder" to convert the Fraps codec .avi video to a H.264 codec mp4 video, so that way i could (theoretically) import it into iMovie. BUT ALAS!!! its not working...the veryyyy strang part of this is that i have done this before, and it has had no problems. In fact, i still have the clips on here from last time, and i am able to play them just fine. I used the EXACT same program to encode, with the EXACT same settings. I cant only hear audio when using quicktime, and iMovie wont even let me import them. Any help on this would be great!!! Feel free to let me know if i've been to vauge, or if you need more info.
    Thanks,
    Aaron
    PS. Heres a shot of the vid i cant get to work, and the one from a while ago that works just fine.

    Im not a pro, so alot of that in jibberish to me, but i did try encoding it with a lower bit rate (around 10,000 i think) and it successfully played via QT. what is the difference between a 79,000 bitrate and a 10,000 bitrate??
    Basically, the Profile and Level define the combination of settings/limitations that adhere to a particular "standard." As previously mentioned, Main Profile Level 3.1 is very common for Apple software and hardware products which appear to come close to the settings for your "working" file. This combination for instance would allow data rates up to 14 Mbps (14,000 Kbps) with 1280x720 @ 30.0 fps while a Main Profile Level 3.2 file would allow a data rates up to 20 Mbps (20,000 Kbps) with 1280x1024 @ 42.2 fps. From this and the fact that your stats did not include the frame rate and/or whether or not the file was encoded anamorphically, I "guestimated" that you might have a "standards" issue in the Level 3.1 to Level 3.2 range for any Baseline, Extended, Main, or High Profile H.264 encode. Your results for the re-encoded file seem to confirm that the data rate was the problem here—i.e., that the video data rate at 80 Mbps was beyond the range of the Profile and Level designation for the file while 10 Mbps was not. Your ability to encode using non-standard settings is one of the reasons that Apple has moved more and more toward the use of device "presets" which prevent novice users from making such relatively simple mistakes when creating files in any of the QT based apps.  Hope this helps you to understand the problem better.

  • My dvd only plays the left speaker of my song...

    Hello everyone. I recently exported onto a dvd from adobe premiere 2.0 that included a song that i had recorded in mp3 format.
    In the song, some of the instruments come out of the left speaker, and some come out of the right. When i play this video on a standard dvd player through a television, the mp3 only plays the audio that is supposed to come out of the left speaker, but it plays it through both speakers. This renders many of the instruments unhearable.
    When i play it through a computer, though, with a dvd decoder, it plays everything perfectly.
    What should I do?

    MP3's are very often problematic. First, I would check your source file in G-Spot, to see what it reports, 2-channel, or 1-channel.
    Personally, I always convert ALL MP3's to PCM/WAV and Import those. This eliminates the issues, and Audition (or the freeware, Audacity) can do this easily. The only exception will be tiny SFX files, and most are mono anyway. Where did your MP3 come from?
    Good luck, and let us know how it goes,
    Hunt
