Playlist for ipod video in gray

we have two ipod videos here. one is fine. the other updates and works but the playlist for it is gray when we hook to itunes so we can't edit this one individually

That's because it's set for auto updating. If you want to handle it manually, go to iPod Options, and select 'manually update.'

Best quality? For ipod video

K now I'm not ripping dvds but the mpgs and avis i have are in fairly good quality and when i convert them in Videora the colors look all washed out ;( what's the best profile to pick for good quality? Or do i need another encoder?

Quick Time Pro installation for Ipod videos

I have been trying to download video files to my Ipod. I read where I needed Quick Time 7 so I downloaded it. It didn;t work. I was told I needed Quicktime 7 Pro. Bought it. When I followed instructions for converting my video files I received an error message saying my video files were not movie files. After discussing the issue with an Apple support person it looks as if I do not have Apple Quick Time 7 Pro. I followed the directions and when I open Quicktime in the control panel it has my name and unlock key and says Quicktime 7 Pro. However when I open Quick Time Player and go to ABOUT...it says Quicktime 7.0.3. How do I get what I paid for so that I can convert my video files and treansfer them to my IPod? Help!

QT Pro is not a separate application. The Pro key unlocks the Pro capabilities that are in the free version of the Player. You should find a preset for iPod videos by loading the source files and using Export from the File menu. Note that QT will not export the sound track from muxed mpegs, like mpeg-1 or mpeg-2. QT Mpeg Limitations
For those you will have to try some of the Windows applications that have appeared since the iPod was released. Here is the link for one of those Windows iPod exporters that should work with avi and mpeg files. It is freeware.

Repeat option on playlists for ipod touch 2nd generation

I want to know how ton get my ipod touch to repeat the playlist so that once the last song on the playlist ends it will just start from the beginning of the playlist? I was able to do it for other ipods in the past such as ipod video 5th generation and ipod nano 2nd generation

If you know the answer to a question why waste sometimes time by posting a download link??? Anyway, all you have to do is hit the the repeat button once during a song in your playlist and the playlist will play through and then repeat, if you hit it twice the current song will repeat.

Cannot delete playlists from iPod Video

When I connect mu iPod Video to my PC or laptop using Windows XP, my iTunes opens, my iPod is recognized yet I can't see any playlists anywhere in my iPod when connected to the computers. When I disconnect, I have 6 different playlists that I've created over time. I want to delete these as needed. They seem to be created from my "On The Go" playlist when I create one. How can I delete? I've read and followed instructions on the Help site. The biggest problem is that there are no playlists shown when I select iPod from the source list once connected. I can't try to delete if I can't see it.

To clear the entire On-the-Go playlist, on your IPOD go to Music>Playlist>On-the-Go>Clear Playlist
To remove an individual song in a On-the-Go playlist, select the song in the playlist, press and hold the center button until the song flashes.
Hope that helps you!

Best type of case for iPod Video 30GB

Merry Christmas everyone!
I just got a new iPod Video (30GB), and I'm looking into accessories for it. I want to buy a case that's good to protect the ipod from scratches and such, as well as if I accidentally drop it. I know there are a lot of good minds out there.. what would anybody recommend that would do the job, but at a considerable price (around 20-25 bucks)?
Thanks in advance!
iPod Video 5th Gen 30GB; iPod 4th Gen 40GB Windows XP

best I've found so far is an iskin. It's over your price limit but provides top of the line protection for screen as well as thumpage protection (I drop mine a lot)

Dynamic Playlist for streaming video

This is my first attempt at building a dynamic playlist for
streaming flash video and I'm following the tutorial at
"macromedia.com/devnet/flash/articles/video_player.html". I've
changed the paths to my FMS and loaded the video files to the
applications directory of the FMS (flash_applications/videosource).
The thumbnails load and the player skin loads but the videos do not
load when I click on the thumbnails.
I've read the earlier post about this same issue. I followed
the advice from that post and reloaded the 'main.asc' file from my
Flash 8 program files but the video still does not play.
Here is a link to the site so you can see the problem:
http://media.us.elsevierhealth.com/videosource/VideoSource1.swf
My FMS is 'media.us.elsevierhealth.com'
I believe my code is correct and I believe the paths I've
created are correct. If someone could review my code and check the
path info I would appreciate it. Here is the code from
'VideoSource1.as'
import mx.video.*;
//Set up the list box, call function VideoThumb to create the
actual thumbnails
list.rowHeight = 70;
list.cellRenderer = "VideoThumb";
list.selectable = true;
//create new empty listener object
listListener = {};
nc = new NetConnection(); //create a connection
nc.connect("rtmp://media.us.elsevierhealth.com/videosource");
//connect to FCS (nav.attributes.url)
ns = new NetStream(nc); //create a stream
ns.connect(); //connect the stream
nc.connect("rtmp://media.us.elsevierhealth.com/videosource");
var stream_ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
stream_ns.play("video2.flv");
// Create function to trace all the status info.
function traceStatus(info) {
Message.text+="Level: " + info.level + " Code: " +
info.code+"\n";
} // Assign this function to onStatus handlers when you
create objects.
//Function to handle what happens when an item in the list is
selected
listListener.change = function( evtobj ) {
var nav = list.dataProvider[list.selectedIndex];
var reset = true;
for ( var i = 0; i < nav.childNodes.length; i++ ) {
var stream = nav.childNodes
if ( stream.nodeName == "stream" ) {
attachMovie("FLVPlayback", "my_FLVPlybk", 10, {width:320,
height:240, x:90, y:100});
//center the FLVPlayback component when FLV is ready to play
var listenerObject
bject = new Object();
listenerObject.resize = function(eventObject
bject):Void {
//center video in playback area
newx = (460 - my_FLVPlybk.preferredWidth)/2;
newy = (470 - my_FLVPlybk.preferredHeight)/2;
my_FLVPlybk._x = newx;
my_FLVPlybk._y = newy;
my_FLVPlybk.addEventListener("resize", listenerObject);
listenerObject.ready = function(eventObject
bject):Void {
my_FLVPlybk.setSize(250, 350);
my_FLVPlybk.skin = "ClearExternalAll.swf";
my_FLVPlybk.clear();
my_FLVPlybk.contentPath =
"rtmp://media.us.elsevierhealth.com/videosource/stream/_definst_/"
+ stream.attributes.name+".flv";
my_FLVPlybk.autoSize = true;
trace(my_FLVPlybk.contentPath);
reset = false;
//Add an event listener on the list, when it triggers, run
the listListener function to repopulate the list
list.addEventListener("change", listListener);
//Function that loads the XML file, parses it, and builds the
list of available video clips
var xmllist = new XML(); //setup a variable to hold the XML
xmllist.ignoreWhite = true;
xmllist.load( "playlist-demo-1.xml" ); //load the XML file
//The following gets called when the XML has been loaded
xmllist.onLoad = function( status ) {
if ( !status )
trace( status );
var entries = this.childNodes[0];
var playlists = {};
var nav = [];
for ( var i = 0; i < entries.childNodes.length; i++ ) {
var entry = entries.childNodes;
if ( entry.nodeName == "listitem" )
//builds array of video clip names
playlists[entry.attributes.name] = entry;
else if ( entry.nodeName == "menu" ) {
//builds array of available videos
for ( var j = 0; j < entry.childNodes.length; j++ )
nav[j] = playlists[entry.childNodes[j].attributes.name];
} //end else if
} //end if
//sends the array of videos to the listbox UI
list.dataProvider = nav;
} //end xmllist.onload
Any advice or troubleshooting will be appreciated. Thanks in
advance.

I just used the server on Windows (as opposed to linux) and
it worked great. So the issue, at least for me and my issue (could
see the thumbnails, couldn't play the video) was windows vs. Linux.
I guess the linux version doesn't work with this exact script. Now
to put together something of my own to test to see if the linux
version works right.

What are the specs for iPod video

i wish to manually convert .mov (video with audio) to vPod format.
anyone know where there is a list of the specs required, movie size, format, audio format?
i'm trying to figure out the following:
i have two movies of like nature. i drop ,them both in iTunes. i tell iTunes to convert for iPod and it says one does not need conversion. i am trying to figure out why the other does. they are both 44.1/h.264.
what is the movie size spec and all the specs for QT to vPod conversion? (i want do to it manually.)
i think i have it, is this correct: 320x180 (16:9). i assume vPod can play both 48.hz audio and that that does not have to be converted to 44.1 (both aac)?

QT Kirk is simply saying
you can make the file you dropped on the script in
order to make it uneditable editable once again by
loading the file in a hexidecimal editor utility and
"zeroing out" the code that makes it uneditable.
yes, i wanted to know which file to edit the script or the 'locked' movie --the .mov, thanks.
.mov
Format: AAC,Stereo (L R), 44.100kHz, H.264 Decoder,
391 x 216, Millions
FPS: 29.97
Data Size: 58.25
Data Rate: 536.90 kbits/sec
Normal Size: 391 x 216 pixels
Current Size: 391 x 216 pixels
(Actual)
The information cited does not include information regarding
the H.264 profile used to create it. If created using the QT
"Movie to QuickTime Movie > H.264" export option,
then the file would not be iPod compatible since this
workflow employs the "Main" profile. In a similar
manner, if the file was created using the QT "Movie
to MPEG-4" Export option, it would have been created
using either the "Main" or "Baseline" profile.
However, based on your dimensions, iTunes expects the
file to be created using the "Baseline Low Compexity"
profile and proceeds to correct the situation.
how can you do that via QTP expert options? if you can. i create a lot of web movies and wish to 'feed 2 birds with one piece of bread'. (i like birds.
if these are the only
conversion for iPod tools apple offers...
why?
QT Pro/iTunes currently
offers the use of two H.264 iPod compatible,
automatically adaptive workflows (Baseline LC and
Baseline) and QT Pro additionally offers one full
manual iPod compatible H.264 workflow (Baseline
profile) and one full manual MPEG-4 workflow. As to
why the QT "Movie to iPod" and iTunes workflows are
auto-adaptive, most users simply want to have iPod
compatible files when they want them and don't want
to learn how to make them properly with respect to
each compression format and/or profile requirement
and/or special case considerations (dimensions, data
rates, frame rates, key frame frequency, aspect
ratio, macroblock efficiency considerations, etc).
yes, i wish to... well, i said that above, create web and ipod in 'one fell swoop'. i suppose these ipod auto-adaptive modes will work for web, but i'd rather use the expert options. i would like to "learn how to make them properly".
> ok .m4v is h.264.
Rather loosely stated. The
".m4v" extension refers to the file container while
H.264 refers to the actual video compression
algorithm. In this case the H.264 video format is
specifically stored in this file container. One the
other hand, the ".mp4" file container is a more
generic MPEG-4 file container commonly used for
either MPEG-4 or H.264 (MPEG-4 AVC) video compressed
files. And, at the other end of the scale, the ".mov"
file container is the most generic since it can
basically contain any "supported" compression format
to include either MPEG-4/AAC or H.264/AAC iPod
compatible files. One key to remember here is that
file containers, like the compression formats that
they can contain, have specific "characteristics."
For instance, ".m4v" and ".mp4" file containers can
have one external piece of graphic "artwork"
associated with it (as seen in iTunes), but the
".mov" container cannot.
i did not know that .mp4 also served for h.264. the graphic container of .m4v i had sort of noticed, however i did not or had not for .mov, thanks.
Your file did not conform to
the required "Baseline LC" profile and so iTunes
converted it. Since the "LC" profile defaults to a
video data rate on the order of 1500 Kbps, your file
size was nearly doubled for the specific duration of
your clip.
i'm not sure i understand why my data rate was converted where a lesser data rate was not. (536 vs. 262)
thanks very much for this 'training'.

Maximum of 1363 playlists for iPod sync?

I have iTunes sync selected playlists to my iPods, but I have encountered what appears to be a playlist limit to do this. I have a very large library (+18k songs) and a large number of playlists (around 1400). iTunes does not show any playlists after the 1363th. Even worse is that the last time I synced my iPod, playlists that were alphabetically less than 1363 but now past that point are deleted off the iPod without warning. Is this a known limitation? I haven't been able to find any information online about this. I was able to produce this error on multiple iPods (both Mac and Windows formatted) on both iTunes for the Mac and Windows).
macbook pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

ok going by my quotes/your answers
you state no recreation of music as itunes does this..how do you automatically sync your ipod/itunes then to the ways we chose the album to play??
how do you choose the playlists to be synced to your ipod??
the 10-20 cd issue..i create a playlist of great tracks i want to hear from 10-20 cds as some are crap etc so we make a playlist of what we want. then this playlist automatically gets synced everytime it gets new tracks added to it with the ipod that has this playlist. going by the browse option it is limited to just that artists, albums etc and not MY playlist that i made from it, what order i want etc.
you question playlists as if there should not be so many- as in 1400 is a lot...beside the point that i should not feel limited to how many playlists i have, 1400 is not that many to music collectors, i have over 25,000 songs in my itunes, i collect vinyl and record that also. so a playlist for each piece of vinyl. The point of the matter is limiting playlists creates nothing but problems, was it placed to itunes to be a solution to anything?? No
fine example-original soundtrack The devil wears prada it is missing 2 great songs from it KT turnstill and Madonna Jump. so i make a playlist with the original soundtrack and i add the missing songs. I should be able to choose that playlist and those2 extra songs are there. but the problem is i have so many corrected soundtracks, albums etc that i cant even get to my S section to load to my ipod automatically. when i then use the browse section to add the soundtrack it can be added but missing the 2 songs. hence frustration occurs. and this is the same for me using the example of adding the 4 new tracks to ipod. if it is in a playlist with my own compilations of songs they will not load using the itunes browse section that ppl keep referring to. so this is a "DRAMA"
most albums we buy dont have songs we all love, we change tracks about, we have fav pref in how we want to listen to them etc and this is what ppl that have been commenting on this issue have been forgetting.we have a choice in how and what we listen to and apple is taking this away by limiting music playlists. so hencea playlist is needed for each and every album.and doing it the browse way etc is not the answer.
i wish i was to be wrong and that there was a way for me to be shown that you can load any compilation, and listen to it however you like but sadly it is not the case. See how frustrating and slow it is having to delete a playlist one by one just so i can get to the 1400 mark to load my music as i have it. so at least 1600 playlists @ 30sec-1min per playlist to delete (my playlists approx 3000) so about 14hrs non stop deleting to get the most out of my ipod/itunes...fun fun fun..NOT and there are better things i could have done today on my day off.

Best Photo Recovery App for Ipod video?

Hi.... what should be the best app recovery tool out there that is compatible with iPod video?

If you copied photos to your iPod using the full resolution option you don't need a 3rd party program. Enable disk use, open your iPod in "my computer", open the photos folder then open the "full resolution" folder and drag the photos out of that folder to your desktop. For enabling disk use look here.
Disk Use.
As for other programs, I don't know if this is the "best", but it's one I've used successfully before.

Convert Selection For iPod--Video Problems

I've got video in iTunes, that's not the problem. I've checked, iTunes and QuickTime are both up-to-date. When I try and sync the videos to my 80gig iPod, it tells me that they can not be synced because they are not the right format. They're all .mp4 format and Apple lists that as compatible for an iPod. When I right click on the video and click on 'Convert Selection for iPod', it converts it, but I only get the audio with a blank white screen and no video. I've followed the Apple tutorial and they're video clip works when I convert it. I went to the DivX website and downloaded the newest version of it and installed everything but the DivX player. It still won't work. What should I do?

I think I was able to resolve this myself after some trial and error. It looks like it is all in the name of the file. I've gotten some files to transfer after going into the Get Info section and updating the name (usually shorten the name or take out non-letter/number/# characters and then get the filename on disk to match.

Resources for movies for iPod Video 60Gb?

I've just acquired the iPod Video and absolutely love it! Are there places you can download content for it, besides Apple.com which seems very limited at this point?
Also, I'd love to import my favorite DVDs, but I don't know if that's a legal use of the rights to a DVD purchased.
Thanks,

Is there such a thing as an extra battery for Ipod video

I am planning a long plane trip next year and I keep toying with buying a video ipod but the 3 hour (for watching videos) or so battery life is making my decision towards the no side. I am wondering if there is an external battery that is worth the money that will give me a long life so I can keep myself entertained for many hours.

Sure there are many plug in external power packs you can buy. Some are rechargeable units themselves while others simply use common (AA, AAA, 9V) batteries and give a univeral 5V USB output. Here is one such example...
