N95 Video Podcasts and mp4 issue

Hi, I wondered if anyone could help me.
My Loan N95 8Gb is on the 'current firmware' ( v.30.0.018 - RM320 ).
Using the podcast directory on the N95 i used to be able to play the geekbreif video podcasts (mp4 format) until recently. They are still mp4 files but it only plays the sound element. Why is this?
Background - it's the same as the highly amusing dr. cockney video podcasts. I cant play them either any more. My 'old' N95 8Gb ( currently being repaired) could play these podcasts. It's likely that my old N95 8Gb was on an older version of firmware. Surely Realplayer is realplayer and they would allow backwards compatability on mp4 files.
Also, On my current loan phone, if i download an old version of the geekbreif podcast, it works. This would imply that the website are sending out a slightly different 'type' of mp4. Surely this cant be correct, as it would not be in the 'publisher's' interest to do such a thing. (i.e. make the podcast less viewable to the masses)
In anticipation....
Thanks

you don't need additional tools to load the podcast or video podcast to your ipod, excepting an ipod manager like itunes, floola or juice.
Just provide the feed into the ipod manager that you use and you are done. Probably the simplest option is to go with itunes. You need an internet connection though.

EDIT: Well, Juice is not really an ipod manager, but a podcast manager/receiver

Itunes/quicktime crashes when trying to play video podcasts and 3GP files

Hello all,
I've searched these forums and didn't see anything that might help me, so if know of any solutions posted already, please let me know. I have an HP laptop(AMD Turion 64 X2 2.0 GB processor, 2 GB or RAM) running Windows Vista Home Premium. I used to be able to play 3GP files at one time with Quicktime, but now I cannot. Then, the other day I tried to play a video podcast and it starts to play, then says, "Itunes has stopped working". Quicktime does the same thing with 3GP files. This was before my update to Itunes 8.0. It happpened with Itunes 7.5.11.1 or whatever the last version was. It obviously does the same thing with Itunes 8. I've tried completely uninstalling Itunes and quicktime, then reinstalling them both and I still have the same problem. Just a note: I tried playing the video podcast via Windows Media Playey, and it worked fine, except for no audio(I don't think WMP has AAC support) so I think something is conflicting between Itunes and my computer. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Do you have any better luck with that if you update to iTunes 10.6.1.7?
From the notes for the release:
iTunes 10.6.1 provides a number of improvements, including:
• Fixes several issues that may cause iTunes to unexpectedly quit while playing videos, changing artwork size in Grid view and syncing photos to devices.
• Addresses an issue where some iTunes interface elements are incorrectly described by VoiceOver and WindowEyes.
• Fixes a problem where iTunes may become unresponsive while syncing iPod nano or iPod shuffle.
• Resolves an ordering problem while browsing TV episodes in your iTunes library on Apple TV.

Download and playback of video podcasts and vodcasts

Hi Folks,
I have looked at the Classic features manual, looking for info on downloading *video podcasts* and Vodcasts into itunes, and playing them in ipod Classic. I couldn't get from the manual what I needed to understand the video issue . Does anyone have any advice, anything that I should know, or do, before downloading and playing these two types of video? I have read bits here and there about having to chang format of videos for successful download to itunes and playback on Classic. I am not techy enough to understand. (Just as info, I downloaded "Best of YouTube." It promptly locked itunes forever. I couldn't even uninstall itunes and reinstall. I had to create another User on my computer, in order to get itunes again.)
Questions:
1) Do I have to do some sort of conversion to download and play *video podcasts* and Vodcasts?
2) Are *video podcasts* different from Vodcasts? Or are they the same format--just named differently? Is there anything that I need to do differently in the download process and playback of these two types of video? (FYI--The Bill Moyers show on PBS is where I was confronted with the *Vodcast.
Thank you
Randy

ITunes Video Podcasts and Photoshop CS5 not playing together.

i just got a MBP with all the trimmings and have been having a problem since i got it.
As a photographer I need Photoshop CS5 and have installed it as normal on my new MBP.
Every time I am playing a video podcast from my iTunes library and let's say I open CS5 to work side by side with a video tutorial, strange things happen like everything becomes sluggish, CS5 might **** down, the video will start and stop, the screen will change into a pixelated color mess.. i could go on but i think you get the idea. Most times when this happens, which is every time I open the two programs, I need to end up doing a hard shutdown as the computer becomes un responsive.
Now I can work on CS5 alone or with Lightroom and I can watch a video or video podcast alone but when I open up the two they can't seem to play together, at all...
I have been on with Apple tech support for the past 10 days, and even re installed my OS on Friday. Applecare told me to re - install the OS and try each program one at a time to try to identify the issue. As soon as I installed CS5 this started again.
i don't know if it's Adobe or Mac... i have an appt with the Apple Store tomorrow but would love some help from you before I go so we can hopefully come up with an answer.
Bottom line, I just switched to a top of the line $2500 Mac laptop from being a PC.
I can get by without Mac but can't get by without CS5... I am really bummed with my new Mac but really want to make it work..
Thanks, and advice would be great.

Two questions for video? Are they iPod compatible? iTunes should warn you if not. Where are you looking for the videos? Check under videos menu of iPod then video podcast menu.
With iPod plugged in, go to audiobooks tab. Is checkbox checked to include audiobooks?

Video podcasts and iPod Nano

Hi everybody!
Why can't I add video podcasts to my iPod nano 4GB ?

no...i don't becuase, like all good marketing, they have certain products with certain features.
Such as,
Ipod Nano = incredibly small, album art, and a good amount of music
ipod Video= little big but the screen needs to be big for video capabilities. They can also get more money for something like this.
and plus if nano had video, it be hard to see...the screen is extremely small.

Incomplete sync of video podcasts and have plenty of storage available

Hi,
I have a video ipod with plenty of free space (30+ gig). Not all of my video podcasts in my itunes library sync to my ipod. I have tried both "auto syncing" amd "manually" dragging them from the library to the the ipod. It is very frustrating becuase I may only get one or two podcasts while there are 10 that I want to view. All the podcasts I am trying to sync where obtained on the itunes website and are the correct file types for the video ipod. In additon, my itunes says I have the lastest verision of software for my ipod and it is "up to date". Anyone have any ideas to help. I really appreciate your feedback.
Thanks,

Have you thought about downloading the free Apple Podcast App?

Video Podcasts and Audiobooks will not sync

I have a fifth generation Ipod 80 gig and am noticing that video podcasts have not been syncing. They show up in my iTunes, but not on Ipod. Also audiobooks that I have in my iTunes were not syncing, even ones that were bought recently. It is quite frustrating so I would appreciate any advice.
Thanks,
Raoul

Video podcasts and TV shows don't play after upgrading to iTunes 7.

Any suggestions, I've lost the ability to view podcasts and TV shows in iTunes after upgrading.

Try this, it worked for me.
1. Quit iTunes.
2. Go to: Start menu > Control Panels > QuickTime.
3. Click on the Advanced tab.
4. Un-check the checkbox next to "Enable Direct3D video acceleration".
5. Open iTunes.
6. Play the video.

Video playback and other issues

This might be a 10.6.4 issue or it could be hardware, I'm not sure.
*First Issue:*
Oftentimes, when I try to play video on my Macbook (stats included) the video hangs up and the audio skips like a bad record (remember records? ). This problem is particularly bad when playing videos from the internet but it persists even when the streaming bar is fully loaded in the browser. I took an online masters course this summer and constantly had this skipping issue so I thought it was Adobe and Apple not playing nice since their videos were Flash based. Now, I can see that the problem also occurs when trying to play Quicktime videos. I made an iweb site with a few videos and my Macbook can't seem to play them. However, when I go over to my Mac Mini it has no issues and it has the same processor in it and less RAM.
I know what your thinking; 'check the activity monitor.' I do check the activity monitor, constantly. When this problem occurs I'm never using more than 50% CPU and I usually have at least 1 GB of RAM available although the problem has manifested itself with a much as 2 GB of RAM available and minimal CPU usage.
This issue is starting to get worse and I've had a few kernal panics lately, which may or may not be related.
At the beginning of the summer I reinstalled the system from scratch to see if that would solve the issue; no such luck.
I thought is was the RAM so I tested it with Techtool Deluxe. No problems found with the RAM.
Now, this issue might be related to the second issue but I'll let you decide.
*Second Issue:*
This issue has been around for a long time and I've largely ignored it since all the forums I've been on don't know what to do/can't pin it down.
The issue is that the fan runs constantly at a high RPM no matter what I do.
Again, I check the Activity monitor consistently and I have it set so I can view "All Processes." No 'memory hogs' running.
I also have smsFanControl running and set for 1800 as the min speed.
Furthermore, my wife has the same model computer (only manufactured later) and hers runs whisper quiet while mine sounds like a wind tunnel.
In fact, as I type this I have 1.29 GB of RAM free, 97% of my processor is idle and I'm running at 65C with a fan speed of 6200 RPM.
Any thoughts on either of these two issues would be a help. Thanks

DaddyPaycheck thanks for the info. I am have 7 GB of RAM and my internet access is through cable. I never had this problem before with an older computer with the same internet connection. I am not sure what to do. I recently upgraded to the 30" monitor and a new video card. I purcheased another video card, the ATI Radeon X800XT, but I haven't installed it yet. I am not sure that this will fix my problem. I have all the latest updates for Quicktime and Windows media player. I actually does it when I am playing DVD's as well.

Video cropping and zooming issue

I'm new to this product and couldn't find my specific issue (or at least didn't recognize it).
I was using downloaded video to make a simple music video (to experiment with on the trial version). So I have the first clip in the sequence and then I add a second clip and after working with it for a few minutes notice that in the sequence viewer the video is enlarged and the sides are cropped so I'm only seeing an enlarged picture of the center. The zoom was still on fit though. I don't understand why the video was automatically zoomed and cropped by Premiere and when I delete the clip and put it back in it does the same.
Any insight?
The first clip in the video was a 640 x 360 While the second video was 1280 x 720 and both had square pixels (1.0)
They were however both WMVs.

The fact that the Zoom level is set to Fit means that the view in the Program Monitor is zoomed to fit the panel, not that the clip is scaled to fit the sequence.
If your second clip is larger than the first, and you place the second clip into a sequence that is sized for the first, then you are naturally only going to see a piece (such as the cropped center in your case) unless you scale the second clip down. Or use a bigger sequence.
If you want the clip to automatically be scaled to fit the sequence, then you can turn on the Default Scale To Frame Size preference. (See this for a video explanation of that preference.)
In general, you scale with the Scale property of the Motion effect, not with the Zoom setting in the panel.

Embedded video's and sound issue

I have a keynote presentation I have created and I embedded a video in one of the slides. The video plays just fine on the iMac with sound but when I play it through Apple TV or a projector the sound doesnt come through the TV or sound system just through my laptop. How do i get the sound to come through the TV?

I assume you have used the headphone jack to connect your computer to the sound system. You have to go into system preferences and make sure the SOUND is set to output to the Line Out and not the internal speakers.
If you are AirPlaying it might be an issue with the age of your computer or you don't have Apple TV selected as the SOUND output preference.
Check your sound preferences to make sure the sound is being sent to the right place.

Video Podcast Set-up Issues, how would you overcome

Ok here is the set-up I have.
1. 4 guys
2. 1 Camera (Canon XL2)
3. Personus Firepod (Mic Preamp)
4. 4 wireless lav mics (hooked into the Presonus)
What would be the easiest way to sync the audio and video, I mean does the new iLife allow for one point controling of a mounted camera in iMovie to sync and talk with a mounted (line In) device through garageband?

Hi Sir,
Sorry for the delay .
>>I'd also like to figure out how to set up and use remote access (or remote desktop or remote server management - I'm not sure which one allows me to manage a headless server and/or the virtual machine environment).
As for VMs , connect them to hyper-v External virtual switch . After that you can use VMs as physical hosts , you can enable remote access then RDP to it . When you need to RDP to them from internet you just need to configure
port foward on your router in lab net .
In addition , you also can configure VPN connection on that "VPN router" then connect "lab net" from "home net" through internet .
Best Regards,
Elton Ji

PodCast and Videos from Itunes store "not compatiable"

I downloaded some of the free content from Itunes, one was a video podcast, and now when I sync my ipod it tells me that it can not be added to my ipod because the file is not compatable?
Why is Itunes offering uncompatable product?
Is there a setting I need to change/update?
Also Movies I had previously downloaded and watched on my Ipod no longer play, I am told they are not compatable either.

Podcasts are universal and all the iTunes Store does is list them (in a catalogue). They may be compatible with Apple TV, which is why the store features them.
Is there a setting I need to change/update?
As Katrina says, maybe you have downloaded the HD version. Check the page where you found them and see if it says HD. If so, look fo the non-HD version, if there is one. However, there are video Podcasts that are not HD, but still don't play on an iPod, even though they play in iTunes. Try selecting the Podcast in iTunes and clicking on *Advanced/Create an iPod or iPhone version.* (It doesn't always work!)
Also Movies I had previously downloaded and watched on my Ipod no longer play, I am told they are not compatable either.
I don't have an answer for that, what movies are they?
Video standards are changing rapidly and some Podcast producers forget that iPods cannot play every video format available. That's why you find content in the iTunes Store which is incompatible with an iPod.

Has anyone downloaded any video podcast to iphone and get only the audio?

Hey,
I downloaded few video podcasts. I had turned on Music Video, Podcast and Video syncs. But I see only the first frame of the video podcast and I can only hear the audio... no video... Has anyone faced the same problem and has anyone been able to solve this?

This works the same way on the video iPod; a video podcast will show up both under 'Podcasts' and under 'Video'. If you play it under Podcasts, you only get the audio; if you play it under Video you see the video. Music videos work the same way.
Presumably this is useful if you just want to listen to the audio track of a video podcast and want to avoid the battery hit of displaying video you're not going to be watching. Frankly, though, it's confusing. Particularly on the iPhone, it'd be better to have a show video/don't show video option that you can select while the track is playing.
