NEW IPOD VIDEO DON'T PLAY VIDEOS!!!!!!! it's a trap!

I,
I just baught new Ipod VIDEO 30 GO; baught QUICKTIME PRO to transfer and read .AVI, Divx... on my IPOD.
I paid a QT PRO that doesn't read .AVI or WMP, results:
1/ White screen with bad sound or no sound
2/ Error -37 or -2048
3/ Oh miracle sometimes QT PRO reads, but with a so bad quality!!! The same AVI file being red perfectly with VLC, WindowsMP, Realplayer...
I tried all codecs upgrading... Nothing better
Well anyway I try to transfer this poor QT quality video (20 mns; 100 Mo) on my IPOD to see... 10% file in one hour, ok I let it all night: ERROR at 27%
So, M. Steve Jobs, why don't you tell us that this new IPOD is not a real video one!!!
If (by luck) anyone did a successfull transfer with an .AVI or WMP, tell everyone how you did this miracle, but my conclusion... we have been fu.... by a marketing product!

Neither the iPod nor QuickTime can read WMV files and Apple has never claimed that either product will. If you want to play WMV content on your iPod, you'll have to find a third-party product that can convert the WMV movie to a format the iPod can support (the supported formats are documented in the tech specs as well as many other places).
As to AVI, there is no single codec for movies that have .avi extensions. AVI is a container format, not a specific type of file. QuickTime supports some of the most basic codecs used in AVI, but an AVI movie may use many other codecs including one of the Indeo codecs or one of the various flavors of DivX, among other possibilities. You'll have to find out what codec was used for the movies you want to view to determine what you need. Note that not all codecs for the various .avi movies are available for QuickTime.
So there's probably absolutely nothing wrong with QuickTime nor with your iPod; you just need to learn the formats that it supports and get your movies converted to those formats.

New iPod touch just stopped playing videos

I just got my iPod touch last night and it has been perfect till just now. The mail program froze and after I reset the iPod it won't play video. Not YouTube or ones I uploaded from iTunes. It stays on the opening image, has no sound and won't turn to landscape but says it is playing. I tried reseting it again but no go. Haven't tried connecting to the computer yet but will when I have access. The iPod was being charged with the Apple USB charger when it happened if that means anything.

I just figured it out. The charger was making it go to tv on. Duh

Ipod u2 5.5 Don't play videos.

Mi ipod don't play videos. I can hear the sound but the video don't see. but when i connect the ipod to the computer, i can see the video in itunes without problems.
Looks like the ipod recognized the video like a song. i see the alblum artwork and the info of the song, and also i hear the audio, but don't reproduce the video.
The video was downloaded in iTunes!

ARe you going to Videos -> Movies/Music Videos/Whatever to play it, or are you browsing under Music -> Artists/Albums/Etc? If you are browsing under Videos, check to make sure that TV Out is off by going to Videos -> Video Settings. If it is on, turn it off.

IPod classic - won't play video podcasts

Hi Community!
I have a shiny new iPod classic 160GB, and I love it ... except for the fact that I can't play video podcasts with it.
They play fine on iTunes, and my audio podcasts work great, but no video podcasts.
When I click on one, the screen goes black for a few seconds, then goes back to the menu.
Please help me!
Thanks!

Hi, I have the same problem, but videos i converted to mp4 under the iPod specs..
I transferred some and all played OK... decided to transfer more vids and now those freshly videos don't play
They transfer to my iPod classic, i.e no error message.
Then i browse my ipod try to watch a movie and the same thing as you, black screen and then the menu slides back into place as i have not watched it
I tried reset center +MENU, tried restoring ipod, now i tried "Create an iPod or iPhone version" and i got this warning
"One or more videos were not converted because they're on the right format" so the format or encoding is not the problem with my videos
I will reinstall itunes if that doesn't work i will defrga my hard drive if no then a itunes repiar... i hope something works

Several problems continuous since first installing Firefox. Personal google search settings don't save; remember me options on web sites like Facebook aren't remembered; Youtube and Flixy videos don't play despite removing/reinstalling/upgrading Firefox several times; upgraded the latest flash plugin today, but no difference, symptoms are black play box with youtube and white box with Flixy. Disbale AV and antimalware makes no difference either.

Videos don't play inside blogs?

How come my videos don't play. I thought you could just drag and drop a video inside a blog and it would turn it into a podcast or at least could be watchable. It just goes to a no page apple thing.
As you can see, I am just figuring it out..
http://web.mac.com/latelyoften/iWeb/ech/life%20rush/life%20rush.html
thanks for the help

ellie?
To start with you should only have to specify your short iWeb URL in order to reach your pages. The problem with using the longer page URLs is that you are likely to change these (and with them, the URL), whereas the short iWeb URL will always lead to your default start page.
http://web.mac.com/latelyoften
Try that. Goes to your pages just fine.
As far as your video goes, there are some pages in your blog that aren't even there anymore for whatever reason. It also seems that on some pages, your movie files are no longer present. Have you been picking through the sitefolder possibly?
For starters, I would strive to keep a single format for your movies. You want them to be able to be played while they are downloading, so I recommend enabling what is called "fast start" in your movies. Don't know what this is? No problem. I'm about to give you a one click kind of fix for your video files.
Try downloading this program called iSquint. You can get it at http://www.isquint.org . It's a free program, so there's no reason not to give it a shot. Basically, all you have to do is to open this program, then drop all of your movie files into the list window, then select a quality setting using the slider, and hit go. Your movies will then be automagically converted to a very uniform .mp4 format complete with fast-start enabled. All that's left to do is to drag your newly formatted movies into iWeb and put them on your podcast pages.
After you are done placing your movies where you want them, I would highly recommend doing a "Publish ALL to .Mac" command under the File menu. There are currently a lot of strange things going on with your site with missing pages and what not. This "Publish All to .Mac" command will clean everything out and lay everything back down file by file...and with your new movie files. I think you will find a real improvement!
Let me know!

HT1209 I've successfully imported the videos I've shot with my iphone5 into iphoto on my MacBookPro but they're only showing up as still shots, ie the imported videos don't play! Itunes no longer opens automatically when syncing!

I've successfully imported the videos I've shot with my iphone5 into iphoto on my MacBookPro but they're only showing up as still shots, ie the imported videos don't play! Itunes no longer opens automatically when syncing, and when I open itunes it shows that there are zero "home movies" in there, meaning that it never grabbed the videos from my phone either. What to do? Thanks!

tl:dr?
Really?
There was a short version expressly for people who weren't bothered to read a myriad of text.
Meh, not that it matters anymore. I ended up redownloading 70-odd albums, so I have the bulk of my music back. And I still have no idea what iTunes did with my files, but I'll make sure it never does it again.
I would thank you for the help but you were utterly useless. Oh well, carry on.

Ipod video no longer plays video

Any more suggestions.

Videos don't play or only play audio in pptx 2010 but they do play in ppts2013

We have a PowerPoint presentation created in 2013. It has a number of YouTube videos embedded in it. When we view the presentation in PowerPoint 2010, the videos don't play at all and there is just a black screen OR only the audio plays
with a black screen OR the video ends mid stream and the audio continues.
How can I get all of the videos to play properly?

How can I get all of the videos to play properly?
We need to detail the quesion as below:
For the local video, (wmv, avi, flv) which is saved in PPT/PPTX data file, we just make sure that the host machine installed the proper video codec package and the video in PPT would play well.
For the online video/streaming video, it doesn't only depend on the host machine, but also network environment or video source(in this case, we say the video in YouTube).
Hope these help.

You have the accessibility VoiceOver feature turned on.
Triple click the home button and try going to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn VoiceOver off. You may have to use three fingers to scroll the screen to get there. If problems see the following for how to turn off via iTunes:

I tried reinstalling itunes and still videos not playing, can some one help me?
I suspect those videos that don't have the Base Media / Version 2 are the problematic ones, what i can do?
Can iPods play MP4 version 1.0? becuse those that play are Version 2.0

Videos don't play the sound/music on my iPod.

Hi,
I converted my videos, and everything, and when I try to play it on my iPod the video will play, but no music/sound to it.

How was the video converted? Many videos have two seperate tracks - one for the visual and one for the sound. If you use something like Quicktime Pro (or even itunes sometimes) it will only convert the video track, the sound stays at a codec that itunes doesn't support. You may want to try converting with a program like Handshake or isquint.
There are a lot of posts regarding this problem, might want to try and search those first.

30 GB iPod, Freezes whenever I play video

I've played video on my iPod flawlessly for the last year, but now it freezes up whenever I try to play video. It plays music fine, and I've restarted, reinstalled, ect. Anyone have any ideas?

I have had the same issue for months and now it seems the only way I can play videos is to create them in Handbrake and NOT to download them from I tunes. I posted this messae a number of weeks ago:
I have a 60 GB 5th Generation IPod. Downloaded Season 5 of 24 from ITunes Store and was unable to load them on Ipod unless I updated to Software Version 1.2.1. Did that. Loaded videos.
Go to play the first episode and it freezes. Needs to be restarted. Freezes again in the same place. Can fast forward past the place that it freezes and let it play. Freezes again...in a new place..and will continue to freeze in the same places. Restored to earlier verion of software but would not let me load the downloaded videos. Restored to 1.2.1 and only loaded a few episodes (wipe my IPod clean of everything else.) Still same problem.
By the way, the same files play fine on my computer (not my Ipod), just fine.
I downloaded and PAY for a new file of Season 5 Episode 1 and guess what...it freezes at the exact same place. Try to tell Apple that there is a problem with my file and they tell me they are sorry that I am having trouble with my file but to check the online forums. So I did...and guess what..
LOTS of people are having trouble with ITunes and video files freezing on 5th Generation IPods.... so whats the deal? I can't go back to previous versions of the software and I have $ 40 worth of downloads that don't play..
Will Apple admit there is a problem or is there a fix here that I'm missing?

Ipod Classic doesn't play video with Component cables

I just bought a new Ipod Classic and I have it connected to my Denon receiver using the Denon dock. I am able to play music and movies from the ipod. But when I try to play movies thru my small LG tv (Apple red, rellow white component cable) I only get audio and only if I have it in the white docking station. Do I need to buy the composite cables to get the video? I do get a message stating I need to plug into a video source.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Have tried to completely restore the iPod to factory settings and then resync the video?
Restoring iPod to factory settings
Before you do that, try converting the video once more using iTunes' built in convert. To do this, highlight the movie and chooose Create iPod or iPhone version from the Advanced drop down menu. When the conversion process is finished, sync the new version over to your iPod and see if that helps.
