No sound in my videos on my ipod

hey i was wondering if anyone could tell me why my ipod has no sound when its playing videos. it plays the video but i cant hear anything. can anyone tell me how to fix it? please and thank you

Quicktime or Quicktime Pro (which iTunes uses) don't convert "muxed" ( muxed means multiplexed where the audio and video are stored on the same track) video files properly. It only plays the video and not the audio.
See:iPod plays video but not audio.
You need a 3rd party converter to convert the file with both audio and video.
See this for help: Guide to converting video for iPod (Mac/Windows).

    You should try as Barbera Hall suggested. Then you should update your iPod(thats if you havent already)to version 1.1.1

    iTunes uses quicktime services.
    Quicktime does not like muxed files(audio/video are one track).
    So when you convert, iTunes/quicktime only sees the video track and converts it.
    You will need to find a different piece of software to convert the files.
    You can do a google search for video conversion software or just use this: http://www.squared5.com/

  • Unable to hear sound while watching videos on my ipod....help?

    i have exported a number of quicktime videos to my ipod using quicktime pro...
    and synced them.
    but when i play them on the ipod no sound comes out....
    why is this?

    plug in your headphones. LOl jk, maybe your videos got corrupt because of a error. A few videos on my ipod got corrupt because of videora, and i still dont know why. Like sound would trail of drastically.

  • Playing video from my IPod Touch on my Panasonic SC-BTT370 home theatre system.

    I get sound but no video from my IPod Touch on my Panasonic SC-BTT370 home theatre system. It keeps saying to change the TV Output to AV (Composite Video). I know it's hooked up properly as everything else works and I can get horizontal rolling with no color but nothing better.  Before I pay for apple support does anyone have any ideas?
    (My tv is also panasonic and the ipod is 4th generation)
    Many thanks

    OK, I can get the video to play, but I have no ability to scroll thru the movie.

  • No sound when convert videos to ipod

    i have bought quicktime pro, and i can successfully convert videos onto my ipod, but there is no sound on them. has anyone got a clue how i can resolve this?
    thanks alot

    No new "points" can be given as yours was just a tagged on response to an already answered question.
    Muxed file formats (MPEG 1 or 2 and Flash) are intended for playback only. MPEG 1 or 2 require licensing agreements ($$) from the Moving Pictures Export Group (the people that make the file name MPEG) which would be passed on to all end users and Apple has decided against those extra fees.
    Those are the "limitations" of the Apple software. It currently doesn't extract audio from muxed file formats and I don't expect any changes any time soon.
    Dozens (hundreds) of third party software apps can convert your file and include audio. Many of them are free.
    MPEG Streamclip offers both a Mac and Windows version. It can convert your .mpg file with audio. It even has a "one button" export feature to meet the specifications for iPod files.
    Now you really know the limitations of the software and the reasons for them.
    Get some third party tool to make your iPod files from your muxed file formatted ones.

  • Video player in iPod 60Gig. Sound stops after a while playing large clips

    I have been converting DVDs and large video clips into iPod MPEG 4 format for the iPod with the Xilisoft DVD to iPod Converter 4. This softwrae works just great and the files plays well on my PC with Quick Time player as well as others. When loaded to the iPod they all start OK but the sound disapears after a while. If I fast-forward or backward then it works for a while again.
    I do not see this behaviour with short clips (3-5 minutes)
    As far as I can see this is related to the MPEG4 player in the iPod. Anyone have a similar problem or some resolution to it.

    Nope,
    But I just discovered that that it is actually not only the sound that stops working but rather the whole video that has a "hick-up" and then when it continues the sound is gone. If I fastforward/rewind then it seem like the player rocovers and play the stream correctly again.
    What are the Mp4 clip prefs you have used when converting?
    I am planning to try some other settings when converting to see if that makes any difference but I doubt it will help. I think we will have to wait for a "better" i.e. working Video Player for the iPod ...

  • Ipod classic sound but no video

    Hi,
    I'm hoping someone can help me with this, for it is becoming rather frustrating to deal with. I finally got a new universal dock for my new 160 gb ipod, along with a dynex a/v cord to hook up to my tv to watch various videos. I get everything hooked up, switch the video out to yes, and I get the sound, but no video. Does anyone know what is going on or what I am doing wrong (if anything)? To error on the side of simplicity, I will assume it is something on my end, but I want to make sure before I take the dynex a/v cord back. Oh, the a/v cord is composite, by the way, for that is the only connection I can use easily, without dismantling everything, but I would think that would work just fine.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Greg
    ps. I have a feeling that since the a/v cable connects via the headphone jack, and since video is disables thru this, that may be the reason. Again, any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

    I just wrote this in response to another topic about the classic and the video out so I figured it might help here. Maybe if we all say enough about it apple will fix the issue so we can use our items. This is rediculous that it would not work with items that have already been purchased, even items purchased that apple resells in the store seem to have issues. Check out the article that I found and posted below.
    I am having the same problem but with my philips dcp750 that I recently purchased. I was able to use it with my old 30gb iPod video but can not get it to work with new classic. The problem is that I can't switch the classics settings to turn the iPod's video out to on. I did some searching on the web and found out that with the new classic it seems apple has hidden from everyone that you can not use the video out anymore unless you use some type of special unlocking mechanisms that will be built in units. It may work with some items but it looks like apple does not want it to by default. Here is an article I found about it while doing some searching why it wouldn't work. Not sure if this is being rectified in a new firmware update or it is actually purposely done by apple. I hope they are going to fix this because I would not of purchased a new classic if I had known that it would not work with the items I have for it.

  • Dont understand how to convert my videos to my ipod

    ok, i downloaded videora and i converted a short movie. now, i dont know what to do from there. i managed to get it into my library, but when i go to "update" nothing shows up in the video section of my ipod. please help, im going crazy. thanks.

    Ok. I am at my witts end. I don't know where to start. This is too complicated. I'll try to start at the beginning. I have the videora ipod converter. I have windows. I was able to get a few videos on my ipod (mpeg) but when you go to "videos" they are not there. They are in "movies." AND THEY DO NOT PLAY THE VIDEO!!! The sound plays, but NO VIDEO!!! Nothing seems to be working. What should my settings be in "convert" and in "setup"? I need "DUMMIES" for IPOD 5G. THe only video that plays on my ipod THE VIDEO is the one I purchased from Apple. The videos I have in itunes play normally, except one, the format is probably wrong. I do have several videos in my itunes but I don't know if they are in the correct format to go to ipod. The video converter says "complete", but it never took time to convert it. I just read on apple's website that ipod accepts H.264 and mpeg-4 video. I also can't seem to get my Limewire videos converted. I have read the previous threads and for some reason I just can't get it. Please, someone give me the BASICS in SIMPLE terms. Thanks

  • Videos Uploaded to Ipod  - But No Image

    Hi there,
    Another classic question.
    I have now managed to get my first video on my ipod, short video clip, and I hear the sound of the video perfectly, but there is no image of the video it wont play, it just shows the video title in the centre of the screen with a tv box icon in the corner.
    On a similar topic, how do I get album artwork to show up aswell?
    Thanks.

    The reason why you iPod isent playing videos is because its on TV OUT MODE....to take it off of this go on your iPod > Settings > look for TV OUT > turn it off....do this and you iPod will display video...
    Hope I Helped..!!!
    Happy Holidays!!!
