Playing audio component of video podcasts on an iPod mini?

I subscribe to a number of lecture podcasts which somewhat uselessly record in video. I don't need to see the presenter, so I was wondering if there was a way to force it to play audio-only on my iPod mini. Currently, if I put it on a sync'ed playlist, it is ignored, and the conversion option says that the video is already in the correct format. Is there a workaround which doesn't involve the extra effort of taking the file out of iTunes and ripping the audio track?

IPhone 4S keeps playing audio from a video file that is no longer on my phone.

If I'm listening to music and try to change tracks or pause with the earbud buttons the music fades out and starts playing audio from a video file. It will only play about 3-4 seconds and then stop. This also will happen when double clicking the home button to try and change tracks. When I do that the track skipping buttons won't work and there's no title for the short bit of audio that plays. The only way to get music to start playing again is to go into music and press play again. The music I had been listening to is sitting there paused. The audio from the mystery video file still sometimes plays even when you're in music and the only way you would know is the little play icon at the top right part of the screen. I have removed every video off of my phone and it still does it. This is really frustrating.

Sounds like a bad battery. You'll need to bring the phone into Apple for evaluation.
I'm sure you've been using your phone as designed and properly backing up your data, so you should have minimal, if any data loss should the phone need to be replaced.

I am using FC Express HD, and for some reason, when I export a Quicktime movie, the final movie will only play audio, and the video is black. I only get the actual video if I export as self contained, or if I exportusing quicktime conversion. Why?

Flash player 11.6.602.180 plays audio but not video...

Very similar to problems reported by others. Just started recently... flash player on Win 7 and IE 10 plays audio but no video... just black box or blank.
Have reinstalled flash player several times... including following all clean install instructions several times. Installation completes and and tells me it's installed successfully.
Have carefully matched IE settings to allow activeX content and have enabled the flash player object and turned on active scripting for all zones, etc. Still no video.
Going to the flash verification page shows a blank box where the current installed version should be.
If I look in control panel under Flash Player it tells me the activeX version is 11.6.602.180 and that the plug in is "Not Installed"... could that be the problem?
What can I do to fix this? Thanks in advance for any help.

HT204291 Plays audio but no video sometimes

Can someone help with my apple tv 2 playing audio but no video sometimes. The icon comes up in the bottom corner the same as when I play a song and the video does not come on once Ina while.

Is that because AirPlay will not do streaming videos, just ones already loaded on the device?
It's as clear as mud but the explanation is here. My interpretation is that it's a licensing issue.
AirPlay DOES do streaming videos. Crackle is one example. Netflix is another but, in the case of Netflix, there is no need for an iPad/iPod.

Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all media and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.

How do I put a podcast on a iPod mini?

OK, back in the old days (this morning) I had an iPod shuffle. Worked great except that about every third time I turned it on I had to hit various volume-up, pause, play, forward, back, off, on, off, on, volume up four times, etc. to get it to start playing. But the one thing I could do with it was to plug it into my computer, open up iTunes, find the podcast I wanted and drag it over to the iPod. It would sync, I could listen, life was good.
Now I'm the owner of a beautiful iPod mini. I plugged it in and it immediately tried to load everything from my computer onto it's 4G hard drive. I poked at the screen and finally got it to stop and now I'm trying to figure out how to get one podcast on it. I drag the podcast, but it won't let me drop. How do I get my podcast onto my iPod mini?

You could change the setting to manually manage songs and then make sure you have enough space for the podcast.

Ipod 5 can't upload or play some of my video podcasts

I have been watching Photoshop TV and loving it. Now i want to watch TheInDesigner video podcasts but I can't get them to upload to my ipod.
I can listen to audio podcasts of this show but all the video versions are a no go. I have them loaded up on my itunes (they play fine on my computer) but they will not upload to the ipod. I have tried restarting the ipod and trying manual uploading.
Do you think that these podcasts can't be played on the 5th generation Video ipods? Is it a compatability problem?

Yep.

Changed TV out to off but ipod still only plays audio and no video

Just recently my ipod decided not to play video. All the videos in the video folders are gone and now appear in the music folder. Even the video podcasts no longer appear in the video podcast folder. I have changed the TV to out to off and still it continues to do the same thing. I am not sure what happened, I don't believe I changed any settings or anything. I would hate to reset the ipod and lose everything. Need help, thanks.
Compaq Presario 1500 Windows XP 2 ghz 256 mb ram laptop

It plays fine on my other pc, but I only get audio and no video when I open it on this pc. It shows up like static lines on a tv that has bad reception.
Open your QuickTime control panel (either via the Control panels, or by going "Edit > Preferences > QuickTime Preferences" in the Quicktime Player). In the Advanced tab, uncheck Enable Direct3D video acceleration:
... and click OK. Quit and restart the QuickTime Player prior to checking to see if the settings change has had any effect.

Blu Ray Burned in Encore CS4 play audio but no video

I've burned this project multiple times and everytime I get the menus and the audio, but no video when played on a Blu Ray player. The same disc plays fine in computer/laptop. And when I tried a shorter version of the project (10 minutes vs. an hour and a half for the original) it plays fine everywhere. Could the file size be causing my disc not to play in a BD-R player? Then why would it play on a computer/laptop?

Play more than 1 video/podcast/movie at a time

How can I use Front Row to play a whole folder of movies at a time?
I have a whole bunch of short films and video podcasts & wanna play one-after-another in Front Row. I cannot seem to get Front Row to do this for me. I wanna just sit back and watch them all, without selecting the next one every 2 to 5 minutes.
Can you do this is Front Row?
John from Alaska

This can't be done with Front Row right now. Because the 3rd & 4th generation iPod nanos support "video playlists", there's been hope that some day Front Row will also support a video playlist. But, so far we haven't seen that option yet. You can create a video playlist in iTunes and it will play through directly from iTunes, however. You'll have to add your movies to iTunes to use this option...

StreamigHow to get audio component of Video out of AirPort/stereo using MBA

Ok will some one help me with this please:
I was experimenting with streaming video. I was watching Leo Laporte's TWiT Live show
http://twit.tv/roz13
where he was talking to Roz Savage the woman who is rowing across the Pacific alone ! This was live feed (including rower's audio from the middle of the ocean); very cool ! Laugh but she is half way to Hawaii and she has already rowed the Atlantic (no sail). The show is called Roz Rows. Leo checks in with her several times a week. Past shows are on iTunes.
Ok I got off track but she is truly awesome in a time when that word is used to describe somebody's socks.
My happy MacBook Air experience to get off the track again: On battery I was watching the live video stream and my iStat showed heat ~55 C and fan 2800 rpm very cool !
I was getting down to 25% battery so I plugged in the charger cable. The temp climbed slowly but predictably to the high heat side of the scale (68 C 6200 rpm) and stabilized. Once again hot but I am happy.
Interesting how cool it was before hooking up charging lead. I am so happy about that !
Now we get to the question ta da !
I want to know how to get the audio for the streaming video to come out of the audio system connected to my Airport Express. Listening to music on iTunes it works fine. Watching an iTunes purchased TV episode on iTunes it _does not_ (the sound comes out of the computer speaker) no matter the setting on the low right hand corner of the window. Perhaps I should be in the iTunes or AirPort discussions but wanted to post positive experience here with streaming video using MacBook Air.

it might be possible using airfoil or similar utility...
http://www.rogueamoeba.com/airfoil/mac/
...but you will probably find that audio/video are badly out of sync due to the latency on the streamed audio
if the video is playing in something like vlc you can compensate by adjusting the audio/video sync (although it is fiddly and drifts because the latency varies) but in itunes you can't

I Ipod class wont play TED and other video podcasts. The genious bar could not figure out the problem. This problem is not isolated to a single computer. Secondly, the convert to ipod version feature in Itunes does not resolve the problem.

My Ipod classic wont play TED, The Grid, Techzilla and other video podcasts (but not all video podcasts). The genious bar could not figure out the problem. Instead, the Apple store gave me credit towards a new classic, which produced the same problem. This problem is not isolated to a single computer. Secondly, the convert to ipod version feature in Itunes does not resolve the problem. Lastly, I tried restoring the ipod to no avail. I've heard this is a video codec problem.

Playing more than 1 video/podcast/movie in a row

Right now I am having to select the videos one at a time and play them after each one ends from in the Podcast window. (over 300 "Best of YouTube videos)

Sorry... I misunderstood before.
I can't see a way to do this automatically, but you can do a Command + ˃
A good way to have things happen so to speak is to contribute to Apple feedback here:
