IPod Video Woes? - Nero Recode 2 Works Great!

Well, like many of you, I've tried to convert video unsuccessfully to my iPod. I've tried Videora, PSP Video 9 and a few other programs. Not ONE of these programs has created a successful video that can be ported to the iPod (even though, for some, that's ALL they are advertised to do). The Videora iPod Converter is a program to convert, yet it doesn't work for me AT ALL... even using the SP modes. Sure, it loads into iTunes fine, but getting it to load into the actual iPod is another, sad, sad story! LOL!
We all are aware that, as of right now, the H.264 codec doesn't seem to be working for many of us and MPEG-4 is, so I finally got my iPod and tried Nero Recode 2 today (part of the Nero 7 Ultra Edition).
Using Nero Recode 2, I was successful in not only creating 320x240 files that loaded into iTunes, but they also loaded right into my new iPod with no playback problems, errors, or skipping. I used a 1.78:1 16:9 source (a DVD that was ripped to my hard drive) and loaded it into Nero using the following settings:
In AUDIO #1 I set it to:
STEREO (CUSTOM PROFILE) LC (LOW COMPLEXITY) NERO DIGITAL AUDIO @ 48,000 Hz and 160 kbit/s
For VIDEO the Setting I used the slider to set the "Video Quality" to 764.6 Kbps
Make sure you UNCHECK the "Fit to Target" box and then click on the VIDEO button on the right (underneath the CHAPTER button). Since it was an anamorphic DVD I was using, I disabled "Deinterlace", disabled "Crop" and I resized to 320x240 and checked the LETTERBOXING (SQUARE PIXEL) box. Checking this box is necessary with anamorphic material so that the final file you create will be properly letterboxed (not stretched) in the 320x240 display on the iPod (it'll have the black bars properly placed at the top and bottom of the video).
Click NEXT after adjusting the above settings...
In NERO DIGITAL SETTINGS, make sure EXPERT MODE is checked.
Encoding Method = High-Quality Encoding (2 pass)
Quality/Speed = Extra Quality
Advanced = Check "Simple Profile (QuickTime Compatibility)"
Then hit BURN and come back in a couple hours.
Your file should be done and ready to load onto your iPod with very nice picture and sound quality and in the proper aspect ratio for the iPod screen.
The ONLY thing I wish Nero Recode could do is, like in Videora and PSP Video 9, raise the volume level of the encoded sound. I watched my movie through the headphones on my iPod and it sounded great, but I had the volume turned all the way up to the max. I wish there was a setting to boost the audio a bit, but at least the videos actually WORK!
I hope this helps you all.
I have used the above settings for three films so far and all are fine. They range between 600-800 meg in size. That's big, but I have a 60 gig iPod, so I have plenty of room. If you want smaller files, maybe try 128kbit/s instead of 160 kbit/s for the audio and lower the video bit rate slider a bit.

I have converted 6 movies now with Nero Recode 2 and transferred them to my iPod. The audio ISN'T that low on any of them. As a matter of fact, the audio is perfectly acceptible, but the volume is turned all the way up. At the max volume setting, the audio is at just about the point where my ears want to turn it down, but it's OK.
The main reason why I wish the audio could be boosted a little is because, if the movies are slightly low and I turn up the volume, then I STOP watching a movie and switch to music, the music might be soooo loud, it'll blast my ears because of the volume differences between the two formats (this happened last night and it was certainly annoying). People might forget to turn down the volume when switching programs/audio.
So far NO movie convert app has got all the bells and whistles to be a perfect solution for converting movies.
NERO RECODE works, but lacks a volume adjustment in the files. It also allows you to letterbox your source video properly for the iPod display if you use anamorphic widescreen videos. It also imports DVD VOB files perfectly, with no sync issues.
VIDEORA IPOD CONVERTER does have a volume adjustment capability, but doesn't adjust the 16:9 image to add letterboxing bars for proper playback on the iPods 320x240 screen. It would work for full-screen material, I guess, but it still doesn't work for me on my system for some reason, even in MPEG4 SP mode. The resulting video files DO load into iTunes and can be played on my computer, but not on the iPod. When loading the files to the iPod, the audio plays... the movies don't. Some people are saying Videora works for them, but I can't get anything to play on my iPod using the SP/320x240/768/128 MPEG4 profile. Must have something to do with the fact that I'm using VOB files, maybe?
I've tried PSP VIDEO 9, to no avail, as well...
I guess I could go the whole TMPGENC to 320x240 route and adjust the audio there, but that would mean I'd have to rip and re-encode the video to MPEG2 first, THEN covert again to the iPod MPEG4 format. That would mean re-encoding the audio/video twice (degrading the video even more than it would be otherwise) and it would take MUCH longer to do. But, this being said, it might be the steps I'd need to take to actually get Videora iPod Converter to work properly.
Someone needs to create a program that successfully converts DVD movies directly from the VOB file structure, allows up to 160kbits/s encoding on the audio (as well as audio volume adjustment) and that allows for you to reformat the video to 320x240 letterbox format for 16:9 anamorphic materials. Nero Recode 2 is ALMOST perfect... but not quite... it does do everything except allow volume adjustments in the final MP4 file.
No matter how much people are touting Videora iPod Converter, I just cannot get it to work successfully for what I need. Even if I found a solution to the problem, Videora CANNOT reformat stretched 16:9 anamorphic videos to letterboxed format, like Nero can. Sure, it can CROP... but it cannot RESIZE. I do not want to watch stretched, distorted video on my iPod.

How Do You Get Your DVD's onto the iPod Video?

Is there a way to transfer my movies onto the iPod video? Will I need to buy the Quick Time Pro and then convert the video to mp4? Will that even work?
Anyone put their movies on the iPod and can share?
Thanks.
Patrice
www.HollywoodCharityAuction.com

yall are all going the wrong way.
there's 2 pieces of software you'll need (they're free!!!):
nero recode 2 CE
DVD decrypter (probably hard to find on the internet now)
use DVD decrypter to rip the DVD (here's a link for instructions but forget about the videora part, videora is slow http://www.duke.edu/~ds53/ipodguide.htm)
after u get the VOB files from DVD decrypter, use nero recode to convert (it says burn in the program) the video to an mpeg-4 video. you'll need to tweak the settings a bit:
set the size: select video thent he resize tab and enter 320 for the width and 240 for the height and hit OK. make sure that "Fit to target is not checked. press next
under burn options, choose where u want to save the video file. under nero digital settings, check the expert mode box and look for the encoding method setting. choose 2-pass. next, under advanced, ensure that the "simple Profile" box is checked.
press burn and just add it to ur itunes library like it'a a song.
whew.
i got these steps from a book btw. if you want to know the name and the details of the book, send me an email ([email protected])
hope this helped (probably will, i have 7 full-length movies on my ipod right now) in case your wondering, the movies are: the fast and the furious, 2 fast 2 furious, fantastic 4, school of rock, spiderman, spiderman 2 and, finally, I,Robot

My iPod Videos are no longer reading on my iPOD Video!!

Hi,
I have a 30GB iPod Video (5th Generation) and just recently all my iPod Music Videos and movies are no longer watchable and aren't showing in music videos and movies playlists on my iPod! Once I plug my iPod into iTunes on my mac, it says there are no videos, even though the video files are still on the iPod and can play via iTunes, but are being read as audio files?? I hope this makes sense. If someone could help me solve this problem, it would be much appreciated!!
Thanks, David

I wish I could help, but I am having a similar problem. I have several movies which are Nero Recodes and they worked great on my 60GB until about 2-3 months ago. Now, they don't work at all. They will play in Itunes. I have severla smaller clips which still play and I just uploaded a movie using DVD2Pod which plays great. I have deleted them from my system and reloaded them (checking first to make sure they played on my computer--which they did) and still bupkis! Any insights?

New User Guide (common questions)

Common Ipod Info
For those who just go an ipod here is some basic info on the ipod and how to do a few things.
Basic Info
Disconnecting/Connecting
Just plug in via USB and wait (can take a few minutes). Ipod will load up and the screen will show DO NOT DISCONNECT go to itunes and update it or add file do whatever to it.
TO DISCCONECT do not unplug if the screen says do not disconnect. Instead you have two options.
1.) In itunes right next to where it says NAME’s IPOD (in the source window) there is a small eject button. Or you can highlight you ipod and in the bottom right there is a bigger eject ipod button.
2.) Open my computer and you should see your ipod as a removable drive. Right click it and click eject.
Ipod’s do not actually hold 30gigs or 60gigs. In stead the 30gig holds ~28gigs. This is the same as hard drives something about 1024 bytes. Look it up via google if you really care. This is normal.
Multiple IPod
If you are sharing one computer with 2 or more iPod but do not want all the music and want only yours here is what you should do.
1.) Open I tunes
2.) Create a new play list (file->new play list) and name it something like Moo’s play list (so you know it is yours)
3.) Add the music you want to it (go to library and drag it to you play list.)
4.) Now plug in the ipod and go to edit>preferences>ipod
5.) Select update only selected play lists and check your play list.
6.) Wait for it to update and unplug and redo with second ipod
Getting Video’s to Ipod
WINDOWS ONLY
Two options that I use. For both the first step if getting form DVD is to save the DVD to your computer (caution DVD’s are huge! Have 10gigs for one movie to be safe.) You must have a DVD drive to do DVD’s. CD-ROMs will not work. If you don’t have a DVD drive you can get one for like 20 bucks.
First off the Videora method. Read this guide.
http://www.videora.com/en-us/Converter/guides.html
macleankara’s guide (a little bit more info and pretty simple too) http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=282835&tstart=15
Second is the Nero Recode method and you should read this guide
http://arstechnica.com/guides/tweaks/ipod-video.ars/5
I prefer Nero why because I paid for it and it’s a bonus feature I’m using by golly!
It won’t show up on my ipod! (Music and video)
Make sure it is in the correct format.
Video’s h.264 and mpeg-4 at 320x240 Also make sure the bit rate is at the appropriate level (another reason for videora its simple and auto in right bit rate) Make sure the screen is set to 320x240 or it wont play. Mpeg-4 can show up to 480x480 but the ipod’s screen is maxed at 320x240 so it will be shrunk down with black border on all sides.
Music just makes them into mp3’s
As for the battery read this from apple
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61434
hope this helps some people. and hopefully will reduce redundant questions

I don't know what you mean by "appendages".
You can create a contact which phone number will contain a pause, then continues other numbers, and then wait for a click from you, and then continue again.

What's new with iTunes 6.0.2?

Usually the website says what the new features are, but not this time.

Still using Version 6.0.1. Seems to work good. Any reason I should upgrade to 6.0.2 or wait up for a while??
For Videos, I use Nero Recode to convert mp4, seems to work great, no loss of quality or sound.

Importing movies to iPod gives an error

I'd like to import a movie from a bought Music-CD to the iPod. The movie is available as *.mov and *.mpg. importing them into iTunes worked but converting it for the use in iPod gives the message "An unknown error appeared (-50)"
What's wrong with iTunes?
I converted it with Nero-Recode to *.mp4 and everything worked fine including importing and playing in the iPod.

Hey Tony,

Can't TAG Mp4 files with Dolby Digital AC3 5.1

Hi everyone, I use iTunes to TAG all my Mp3 and Mp4, I have over 100,000 Mp3 tagged with iTunes without no problem and over 2,000 DVDs concerts, TV series, etc in Mp4 format tagged also with iTunes without any problems, all my Mp4 til now have 2 channel stereo sound.
My problem now is that I'm making some Mp4 movies with dolby digital 5.1 and this Mp4 play perfect in iTunes and QuickTime ''but'' I can't TAG them in iTunes because of the AC3 5.1, I'm sure of this because everthing made in 2 channel stereo have no problem to TAG in iTunes. If I TAG them its seems in the begining to write the TAGs but if I clear iTunes and then re-load again the files the TAGs dissapears.
I use MAC and PC. I use Nero Recode 2 to make my Mp4. I have the last version of iTunes and QT.... I have noticed that Winamp can write the TAGs without any problems and stays there but what I need is to iTunes recognize that TAGs because I run all my libraries in iTunes
Thanks in advance, sorry for my english.

Anybody please, any answer can help me please... Is that no body has experience this same problem?
If iTunes can't support TAGs with 5.1 is possible to fix this in the next update?
Regards

Video and Audio not in sync problem

One of my videos I converted is out of sync (audio and video). I converted it through videora and nero recode. Any suggestions on what other method I could do. Thanks.

I noticed you have nero recode. Do you have nerovision express? if so, try converting it to an .mpg using the make CD... super VCD option. then convert that file to an .mp4.

Ok I know whats the problem is:
The first 1,500 DVDs (this Mp4 have no problem) I convert at 2 chanel stereo 448kbps and the seconds 300 DVDs movies (with no audio) I convert in AC3 5.1 at 640kbps

The problem is AC3 5.1... do you have any idea to solve this because I dont want to re-convert again the 300 Mp4 files

Someone Got A How To For Adding Video?

The examples cited in the Apple tutorials are for Macs from what I can find... and I see a ton of people posting on this topic and not getting answers... soooooooo...
I have a friend with a new 30GB video iPod...all the updates have been run for iTunes and the device. The video in question is an MP4, and iTunes reports it's in the correct format as it doesn't want to convert it. The video was made with Nero Recode. It's in the iTunes Videos library on the PC in Movies where it should be, but the Video options in the Preferences option are grayed out, as a number of others have reported when I do a forum search.
We all know this device will play back videos...and I know some people have had luck with Videora...but why should the device seemingly not accept a video it says is okay. Recode is way easier than nearly any other program I've seen, and has a ready H.264/AVC-AAC conversion that should make it ideal for the iPod.
Okay...any help out there?!?!? Thanks!
iPod 30GB Windows XP

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
If the video tab in preferences for the iPod is
greyed out, that usually means you are not
automatically updating. Try setting the iPod to
automatically update. Does that help?
btabz
Thanks for the suggestion...
Is it necessary to have to have Auto-Update enabled
just to add video? And if so, why? Isn't there a
manual way to add videos to the device as well? The
Apple How-To screens show a ready way to simply drag
and drop if you have a Mac, why not with a PC?
And actually...Nero Ultra 7, which I just tried, now
has a ready-made video profile just for iPod Video,
and especially with AVC, the results look very
promising.
Again, thanks to any and all for their help and
suggestions.
30GB Windows XP
Well...on this end anyway, enabling automatic updating did nothing to add videos to the device. I tried, and failed, and I cannot manually drag videos to the iPod as those who have Macs can... which is a major problem in the Windows software at this point. For users who want to use iTunes and have different playlists on their iPod than the PC, using the auto update feature appears to basically butcher that as well.
Again, I appreciate the suggestion...any others out there? These forums are just littered with people having this same issue, and I haven't seen any real "how-to's" from Apple, where they need to be coming from.
And to Apple, if the answer is to reboot, reset, and reinstall, etc., as I've seen on some of these forums, that's frankly the same pseudo "solution" AOL used to offer in the bad old days for all of their issues...and even AOL has managed to largely get past that debacle.

I can't get videos on my ipod classic

hey sorry i'm quite new at this, but i'm having a little trouble with my ipod classic. i can't seem to copy video files from my computer to my itunes and then to my ipod. there's one music video that did get on my ipod but i don't know how or why it got there, and it's also without sound. would somebody please help me ?

This was my biggest problem when I got my first iPod (30GB 5thGen)... I thought that video's would just sync straight on there no probs, was I ever more wrong...
I got over this hurdle a few way's....
Mac: For mac you can download mediafork or handbrake, they will both convert dvd's and sum other files straight to iPod format... (although these take a while)... On a rare occasion I have got iMovie or similar,(depending on version of MAC), all you have to do is export as a Mp4...
Windows: Mediafork and handbrake both work gud,(but they take sum time), the one I found the best was Nero recode... It converts the video files "all" into .Mp4 ready for iPod viewing, it also puts your video's straight onto your iPod if connected...
There are sum other free converter's that will work gud, but the best ones are the ones you pay for... (unfortunately)

Ipod Video Freezes

Hi everyone I'm just wondering how to fix my ipod.
I know someone just put up a post just like it
I just got the new update for my 60GB Ipod Video. Before the update it was fine the videos played normally but now my videos will play normally for about 30seconds then freeze then play but without any sound.
I don't know what happened, was it the update? or do I just need to do something?
Thanks for the help!
Dell Windows XP

This solution has worked to stop this from happening:
The solution is:
1) Open up the Video file in Quicktime Pro
2) Select File->Export
3) Select "Movie to MPEG-4" beside "Export:", then click the OPtions button
4) Select "Video" and make sure that the "Video Format" is set to "Pass through"
5) Do the same for "Audio", then hit OK
6) Save the file
Basically what this does is rewrites the MPEG-4 "container" that the video is stored in. It seems that the iPod with the 1.1 firmware has a problem with the container as created by Videora and other programs. By simply rewriting the container, the videos play fine. This process can take up to a minute or two depending on the size of the file, but still MUCH faster than straight-up encoding via Quicktime Pro.
The other solution is to reconvert the file using other software that doesn't cause this problem. So far others have reported that the Nero Recode converted files have not caused this to happen while playing movies on the iPod.

Nero Recode 2 Rocks!!!
