Playing videos on my 5G 30GB ipod

i had some old music videos and movies on my computer and i want to put them on my ipod. i downloaded MPEG Streamclip and converted them into
MPEG 4. so now the audio plays but not the video. Please Help.

I would go with iSquint first for most video since it runs a lot of different formats. MPEG Streamclip is good for those files that after converting and getting onto your iPod you find you have Video but no Audio do to the original MPEG using Muxed audio (audio and video muxed together into a single track).

Question about Playing Videos from Digital Camera on iPod

I just got an iPod video and it won't let me put my video recordings from my digital camera on it. I got this camera about six months ago and it will play through Windows Media Player but will not on iTunes. What's weird is that my iTunes plays videos from my really old digital camera.
Does anyone know how I can play my videos?

I don't create videos myself but this might help you.

AVC Connetion kit + playing videos on t.v via ipod

Try resetting "Video > Video Settings > TV Out" option on the iPod to "Ask." When set to "On," video output is directed to your external TV. When set to "Off," video output is directed to your iPod screen. In the "Ask" mode you can select desired output without having to go back and change the main preference each time you physically connect/disconnect the iPod.

Whenever I try to play videos, YouTube or downloaded, my iPod pauses them and when I click play it instantly repauses them. My iPod is a touch with 8gb of memory and I just got it on christmas what do I have to do to stop it from pausing?

What should I do?

Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears)

IPod Touch 5th Gen won't play videos in the camera roll?

I am trying to play videos I have in my iPod Touch's camera roll and it won't play them. What happens is that is shows its a video, shows the time in the video, when you click the play for the video it is paused, you can drag the slider through the timeline and it will go to that point in the video, but it won't play it will just be paused. I can hit the play button on the bottom all day and it won't play. I tried this on numerous videos and the same story. Now, I took these videos on my iPod Touch 4th gen over the past few years, and obviously put them on my 5th gen using the backup feature. These videos are of my daughter as a baby and I really don't want to loose these. Any idea on how to get them to play?

- Do they play on the computer?
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
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.

Playing video in web page instead of full screen

There is no "web authoring for iPad" forum. So I apologize for posting in the inappropriate section.
I have a web page with multiple video feeds, each with its own playlist, all playing at the same time. This works well with computer browsers. But the iPad/iPod/iPhones keep opening one video full screen. Is there a way to get the videos to play in their place on the web page instead?

Only the iPad is capable of playing videos in place. iPhone and iPod Touch will always open videos in a separate Quicktime window. I don't believe you have to do anything special for the video to play in place on iPad. Just embed the video as normal.

Can 6th gen Nano play videos

Can I play videos or movies on the iPod Nano 6th Generation?

Who in their right mind would want to watch a video on a screen that small and how would you access the controls? Oh yeah, right mind and a squid.

30GB ipod does not play videos, it loads but does not streams...

i have a 30gb 5gen ipod, ant it has a problem... it doesn't plays video. video clips i used were converted in itunes, so it had to fit the requirments. video loads ok, but when i try to play it it shows play sign in the left up corner, however nothig hapens, just black screen. when i push the forward buton it goes forward and i can see that the video clip loaded well, it's just not streaming, looks like it is on pause or something. i have tried to restore it, reinstall it... nothing helped
please help!!!

Hard Reset the iPod as below- this does not delete or erase any song or data.
After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the next step
Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple Logo comes ON
Then release the buttons
Select your preferred language.

My new ipod nano plays videos but there is no sound, why?

My new iPod nano that plays videos has no sound going along with them. It's not a problem with the iPod, (I don't think) because the sound won't play on iTunes either, yet my music in playing just fine both on my ipod nano and in itunes. I dragged and dropped the video into itunes then I converted the video then used the convert selection for ipod. Why is there no sound? Is there something I am doing wrong? My 30gb ipod did worked just fine when I did it that way but my new ipod nano won't. Is there something else I have to do before I can watch and listen to videos?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Becca

QuickTime expects video files with separate video and audio tracks, but many MPEG formats used a muxed (multiplexed) single track that contains both. Therefore, iTunes & the iPod (both of which use QuickTime) only show the video and no sound.

One way to work around this is to use MPEG Streamclip to convert the files to fix this issue...

30gb Ipod video on/off problem

For some strange reason my ipod does not want to turn off. I can let the battery die out and then charge it and then use it again, but if i wanted to simply turn it off after i stop using it. doesn't work. my play button works fine, pauses and continues playing fine, but when i hold the play button down, nothing happens. Anyone heard of this happening or know how to fix it?

Yes, iTunes is up to date, and has been installed properly -no problems at all.
There was (and is) no cell phone around my iPod. The volume didn't change on its own - but for me it was a bit loud, so I wanted to change the limit, so that I wouldn't go too far..and then this problem happened. There were I think about 200 photos, and they were uploaded through iTunes (this volume limit problem was there before I uploaded the photos though.) And I am manually uploading songs - I always did, on my old iPod too, since I go between 2 computers.

Videos on my 30Gb iPod

Hi,
I have a new slim 30Gb iPod and it can't play videos. Well, iTunes won't copy them to my ipod. So Im not sure if the ipod can play them. Its new, there's a videos menu and nothing listed when I go there.
The ipod is new and the box also says it can play vids.
The edit/preferences/ipod/videos tab in iTunes is grey'd out.
I can put vids into iTunes, convert vids in iTunes but not get them to the ipod.
I can use the windows file manager to get them to the ipod but that doesn't help.
Anyone got ideas?
Music is fine. Well, I don't like the way it sorts them, I have no control but hey...

What you are doing wrong is you have not read the tech specs for the iPod.
iPod will only play mpeg4 videos with certain formating or h.264 videos.
Actual specs for video:
Video formats supported: H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per sec., Low-Complexity version of the H.264 Baseline Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48 kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; H.264 video, up to 768 Kbps, 320 by 240 pixels, 30 frames per sec., Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48 kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per sec., Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48 kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
To get commercial dvd's onto the iPod you will need to find a program to break encryption and rip it to your hard drive. Then you need a transcoder to convert it to the proper file format.
On a Mac, just get Instant handbrake.

It says my ipod cant play videos!!!!!

i have a 30GB white ipod. but whenever i try to put my videos on my ipod from itunes, it says my ipod cannot play videos. i thought if the video was already in itunes, it was already converted................somebody please help!!! thanks a million

The ability to play a file in iTunes means that is is QT compatible -- not neccessarily iPod compatible.
If the message states that a particular file is not playable on the iPod, then the file is either in the wrong format or one or more parameters does/do not meet iPod compatiblity restrictions. For instance, a DivX MPEG4 video file with MPEG layer-3 audio would not be playable. Normally, it is a simple problem associated with video data rate limitations or failure to use a specific required profile for the format you are employing. In addition, movie content can sometimes "trick" the encoder and cause a momentary "peak" in the data rate that triggers iTunes to reject the file during sync operations.
If the message states that the iPod "generically" cannot play videos, then you do not have an iPod model with video capabilities.

Please Help! iPod won't play videos anymore!

I've had my 5th generation iPod for a year now and for the last 3 months I have not been able to get my videos to play. I have DVD's that I've burned as well as movies that I've downloaded. At first, only one or two wouldn't play and now I am down to only 1, out of about 20 videos that will still work.
When I try to play a video I get a black screen. I can adjust the volume and see that the video is there, but the elapsed time just stays frozen at 00:00. The only way to recover the iPod after this is to reset it by holding down the menu and select buttons. I've checked that the TV out is off and tried everything else that I can figure out to try. I have even restored the iPod and reloaded all of the content. Still, only that one video will play and all the others lock up the iPod. I've tried re-downloading the videos and ripping the DVD's again. I also tried adding new videos. The iPod syncs and the videos upload fine but when I try to play them… no luck.
Anyone else have this same problem? It's driving me crazy. Ready to go buy a Zune.

Hello,
Only i could say, that i have the same problem with my 30Gb iPod during the last two or three months. Just after syncing my iPod i was not able to see any video. In the beginning one restart of the device was helpful and video started playing as usual. Now does not help anything: either multiple restarts of the iPod, or restoring all settings via iTunes.
Since i have encountered this problem, i have not found any answer.
