ONLY video files not already in library wont transfer to itunes library

I've found NO help from the apple website dealing with this problem, video only importing problems don't even come up in the help sections.
heres an example, i just bought a new cd, i can easily transfer the files from the drive to my library, or from a folder on my computer to the itunes library.
BUT if i have recieved a new video file, in any format, i click - file, add file to library, (file name), open. then- absolutely nothing happens. If i have a folder of videos to transfer, i go to - file, add folder to library, (folder name), open. Sometimes a breif glimpse of the "processing filename" apears in a box on the screen, IF I'M LUCKY. But less than two seconds later, the box dissapears and itunes stops all attempts to put my new video files into its library.
I've tried to remedy this by the following-
I've tried to 'repair' itunes
i've tried to uninstall and reinstall itunes
i've tried to convert the files into .mpv, the file all ready to go for putting it on an ipod
i've tried to restart, reboot, completely shut and unplug computer
i've installed avg a spyware detector and searched for viruses, just in case a virus is effecting itunes or the files i want to put in it-no go
i've tried deleting my library and putting in only the video files, just in case it was full... (i doubt it i had 10 gigs of memory in itunes it should hold more)
I've tried deleting my library, then moving the files in the correcct format to the itunes library folder that has the files backed up to trick it that it was already there before- that didn't work.
I've just gotten a 30g new ipod with video and have transfered over 50 video files to it, there were no problems before, but there are now- its very frusterating especially because I WANT TO WATCH MY TV SHOW ON MY IPOD IN MY ROOM UNDER SOFT FUZZY COVERS! ='S
Has anyone else had this problem? and if so... are there steps to fix it, and WHY does it do this? (for any reason other than hating me)

I myself have came across this problem. I have found that for some reason simply clicking on other parts of iTunes and then adding the video file it eventually adds (most times).
I have also found that when attempting to convert some files to mpeg-4, the same thing has also happened. I have put it down to a bad corrupt file that iTunes does not like.
It could be that the files we are trying to add and/or convert to iTunes are damaged files even if they can be played using other media players.
