Pixelated Video in iTunes 10

When I watch video through iTunes it's very pixelated. The problem goes away when you mouse over the view window (making the control bar pop up) or when watching in full screen. Anyone else having the same issue or know of a fix?

No fix or cause yet. See and also, comment in this thread:

Good quality video in itunes

ok so I have a mac mini, eyetv (thus lots of mpeg2) and a philips plasma tv.
Mpeg2 from eyetv plays full screen..... lovely good quality etc.
Now whats the suggested BEST route for getting some video into itunes, I WANT to keep the 720x xxx size and i want the best quality possible!
I have tried H.264 and I must say that with all of the settings tuned for highest quality, not only did it take for ever to encode a 1.5 hr movie but the quality on my 37" plasma was VERY disappointing. i.e. pixelated all over the place.
any help or suggestions?

In the article it suggests disabling 'Direct3D video acceleration in Quicktime'. On my computer it does not show that option. And it does not help much in disabling DirectX altogether.
Also, my computer does not have the option illustrated in the screenshots in 'Modify your System Drive Configuration'. I am not sure why it is differen, but I can send you screenshots from my computer to your email if you want.

Do resized videos (from iTunes) save battery life?

I have downloaded two videos from itunes. What size/resolution are they? If I resize them to fit the iPod touchs screen resolution will I save battery life?

If I resize them to fit the iPod touchs screen resolution will I save battery life?
That's a good question that I've wondered about. The touch screen native resolution is 480-by-320-pixels. When I export from my eyeTV software, it's at 480x360. PERHAPS, using larger image sizes causes the CPU to work harder in resizing the content. This COULD lead to shorter battery life.

Video on itune is very very slow

hi i bought a ipod touch yesterday and this is a first time i use video on itunes
first at all is i download videos mostly all from Google Video
then i added then to itunes and it take aleast 20 seconds of each move on those video ( like click on them or get info or everything on them)
then about my ipod touch - everytime i putting music into it ( syncing music ) like about 3 songs and it said cant read my ipod (disconnected)
but all this i tried on my brother's computer and everything working fine
the videos is super fast and syncing no problems
even m computer is much better than my brother computer and both are vista windows
plz help me

If it is 1 or 2 shows it could be the recording itself. If every movie is pixelating then it is either the router or ONT. You will need to contact Verizon for a service call.

Can't view videos in iTunes now

My computer, previously running on Vista, recently crashed. I backed up my data and loaded Windows 7 instead. Things are running great now, and I have downloaded iTunes 9.2. I have all my music and videos back, but I cannot watch any of the videos on iTunes. I tried renting a video from iTunes, but cannot watch that either. Every time I try, iTunes freezes. I can watch videos with Windows Media Player on my computer, and I can watch my iTunes videos on my nano. So it seems my computer and the files are both ok.
Why can't I watch videos on iTunes? I tried redownloading iTunes and updating my video drivers. Any other ideas?

I'm having a problem with videos too. The other day I tried out the iTunes Rental service, and when I went to play my movie, iTunes froze. I updated to the latest versions of iTunes/Quicktime and the problem persisted. And now I notice that ALL of my videos cause iTunes to freeze. I can't say for certain if there was a problem with all videos before I downloaded the movie, but I certainly didn't notice one before. Videos still play fine in standalone Quicktime and I checked the DirectX settings already.
Any help appreciated.

Cannot sync videos from iTunes to iPhone 5S

I recently got an iPhone 5S 32 GB. I restored it through iTunes from a backup of my old iPhone 4S 16 GB. Since the restore, & after an upgrade to iOS 8.0.2, I can no longer sync videos from iTunes 11.4.0.18 to the iPhone. Previously I had been syncing a number of these videos to the 4S for years.
Here's what I've always done: I simply connect the iPhone to my PC via a lightning cable. Next I click on the "Movies" button at the top of the window. Then I check the box to sync the movies that I wish to transfer. Finally I hit "Apply." The sync starts, but the movies never make it to the phone for some reason.
When I click on "Movies" under the iPhone on the left side of the screen, I see a listing of the movies that should have synced. They are listed there, but they are kind of greyed out, & they have a dotted circle beside them. This is very puzzling because I have over 17 GB of free space on the phone. I can also confirm that the files are on my hard drive in the location shown when I right-click & hit "Get Info." I can also successfully sync the very same videos with my iPad mini.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

UPDATE: I backed up my phone, wiped it (Settings -> General -> Reset -> Erase All Content and Settings), & then restored it through iTunes. For whatever reason, that seems to have fixed the problem. Movies now sync to my phone like they used to.
That process seems to have corrected 1 or 2 other minor issues, including one where iTunes was 'syncing artwork' for a long time on every sync.

Previewing video in iTunes for windows Crashes iTunes

When I try to preview a video with iTunes on my Vista machine, I get the error message "iTunes has stopped working". Any idea how to fix this?

Well found out a fix. After checking the report logs found that there was a problem with QuickTimeH264.qtx.
Carrying out a search took me here:

Direct link to the fix of deleting the SC Info folder is here:

After deleting the folder, then restarting iTunes, you'll get a set up progress bar which runs through. After that it will launch pulling up your library. You'll then have to re-enter your password to re-access your DRMd content.

Hi
Currently, iMatch is turned off on my computer, as I do not want to upload any more songs. If I turn it on, will it upload all songs that are currently in my library? Is there another way that deleting them one by one?
You must enable iTunes Match on the new computer. The best way to accomplish what you want to do is to create a new, empty library by launching iTunes while holding down the Option key (Shift on Windows) and choosing "new library." Do not let iTunes scan for new content, but do enable iTunes Match on the empty library. Once the scan is finished you may delete tracks from the cloud. When you are done switch back to the main iTunes library.

I can't get my own videos in iTunes 6

I just bought the new iPod video 30GB, and downloaded the new version is iTunes (v. 6) for my PC, and i am trying to import my own videos (yes, they are mpeg 4, so i know they are compatible with iTunes 6 and my new iPod). I found an article that said drag-and-drop is the way to transfer your own videos to iTunes, but that isn't working. There is no option or menu that asks which folder i want my videos from (like you can do with photos in the preferences menu). I tried calling Applecare, and they want to charge me because their own FREE product doesn't work. Does anybody know how to work this, or encountered this problem?

I found the answer to my own problem, and probably yours as well. I knew ahead of time that the new iPod video would only be able to play mpeg 4 videos (or quicktime videos), and i could've sworn these were mpeg, but they were .wmv instead.. so i found another discussion that suggested using Nero 2 to change the format to mpeg4, and that worked! i changed the format for all my little videos in no time using Nero 2 (downloaded from download.com), and now dragging and dropping still doesn't work, but i found out the answer again: create a folder specific for all your little videos, then go to File >> Add Folder to Library... and then select your folder. It will automatically put all your new mpeg4 videos in the video portion of iTunes and update to your iPod accordingly... now my only problem is my new mpeg4 videos look like UTTER CRAP on my iPod... if i fix that problem i will get back to .. me.. on that...

Quicktime 7 not playing videos from Itunes...

So recently I noticed my Quicktime 7 has been acting strange. It used to play all my videos flawlessly... it still does, although i've noticed movies bought from the itunes store wont play anymore. When I try to open the file on QT 7 I get the black screen but then It exits out and I get the "Quicktime 7 Has Quit Unexpectedly" and I get the Kern_Protection_Failure log ( whatever that is) It's weird, before every file i tried worked perfectly, but now I cant get them to play.... Is There any fix to this or has Quicktime 7 completely stopped supporting movies/videos from Itunes? ******Oh, by the way They DO however play in Quicktime X****** I''m running 2009 macbook pro 13-inch OSX 10.6.8 and All software is up to date. It's getting frustrating. I've looked all over but no luck. Any Help Would be appreciated. Thanks

Here's what I'm getting

When ever I try to play a video on itunes, I get this iTunes has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. Uhh, how do I play a video on itunes??

I made the unfortunate mistake of upgrading my ipod touch to ios 6 and then had to update itunes. Lots and lots of issues with that, losing my library, not able to add what was already on my ipod to itunes, and I have no idea what version of itunes I had before but this new updated version works differntly... like I could make playlists with videos w/o having to do the dumb manipulation of changing a movie into a music video.... anyhow. Whar can I do to be able to play videos from itunes?

Let's try the following user tip with that one:
iTunes for Windows 10.7.0.21: "iTunes has stopped working" error messages when playing videos, video podcasts, movies and TV shows

Can't import videos to iTunes!??

I've been trying to import videos to itunes and for some reason they just won't go in! I have tried dvdrips and already converted to mp4 files on my harddrive, i've even downloaded the sample movie from the apple website to try and import that.
When i go to import in the fille menu, find the file and click choose absolutely nothing happens. the finder window closes and thats it. the same happens for add to library function. i have the most up to date version of itunes and my brother has the same mac ipod and itunes version and can do it just fine exactly the same way as i am trying. pretty frustrating can anyone help?? pleases?

Have you tried using the Finder? Just drag the video files onto Library in the sidebar. iTunes can be unresponsive - don't drop the files until Library (or Movies) turns blue and you see a green dot with a plus sign on your cursor.
Once your movies are in iTunes, you can convert them to iPod format. Select the movie under Movies, then choose Advanced > Convert Selection to iPod.
