PLEASE HELP: movies converted to Mpeg-4 files won't sync to ipod

hi,
i created some movies in avi format, used quicktime to convert to mpeg-4 files, pulled them into itunes and they play fine. however, when i try to sync/transfer them to my ipod, it won't let me. i have taken all symbols except for alpha/numerical out of the file names, and it makes no difference. ANY help would be appreciated.
thanks...

Just because they are in mp4 format does not mean they are iPod compatible.
Files must conform to these standards:
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

  • AIFF files won't sync to ipod touch

    I have a bunch of AIFF files that work fine in iTunes, but they won't transfer to the iPod Touch. I've even run the "create AIFF version" item in the Advanced menu, and the resulting file still won't sync. All MP3 files are syncing just fine.

    I figured it out. The sample rate was too high for ipod. I had bought the music files in flac format, which come in something like 99000khz rate. I had imported them into Audacity and exported as AIFF -- assuming that that's all I had to do. Afterall, all references I found mention only the format, not the sample rate. I finally got one to sync when I changed the sample rate within Audacity to 48000khz and exported again.

  • MPEG-4 video file won't sync with iPod

    Hi,
    I ripped a home made DVD (19 mins) using Handbrake to MPEG-4 and dragged the file over into the Movies area of iTunes. It's ticked in the left hand column.
    Problem is I cannot make it copy over to my 30 gig 5G iPod Video. All of my music and photos sync just fine - iTunes set to automatically update.
    Any help greatly appreciated.

    How did you convert the .M4v to an .MP4 file with the program? I've been trying and it wont. It's odd that you can download the .M4v file, but it wont automatically add to the video ipod.

  • Converting to MPEG-4 Files

    I am a novice with iMovie. Awhile back, I purchased a digital camcorder (JVC Everio with hard disk drive 20GB) with the idea of creating iMovies. My camera allows me to directly download movie files (by UBS; no firewire option) only as Capty MPEG (MPEG-2 Format) which I then must convert to MPEG 4 files to edit with iMovie. What software is recommended for this conversion? (Apologies if this has been answered before.)

    Search this discussion group for mention of "MPEG Streamclip". That free application, combined with the Quicktime MPEG-2 plugin (US $19), is probably the most popular choice for converting such clips into DV format for editing with iMovie '06. VisualHub ($23 I believe), DVDxDV also work.
    Some JVCs also come with a Quicktime plugin that lets you do editing in iMovie directly.

  • Please help me, I mistakenly deleted a file.  How can I retrieve my file?

    PLease help me retrieve my file.  I was rearranging some docs into sub-files and mistakenly deleted the main file, thinking the sub-files would still be there and they are all gone.  Lots and lots of docs.  PLEASE HELP ME,!!!  The File name was "Cardis, Jackets, Ponchos& Tops Patterns.  I was using the new Adobe Acrobat Reader.

    I don't believe you can if the only copy is on your iPad.
    You must make backups of files which you have on your mobile devices. Then restore from the backup. Backups could easily made by uploading them to Document Cloud, or backing up to another device.

    HI,
    If iChat is Open and your think Accounts/Screen Names are logged in then go to the Window Menu
    This should list the accounts that are logged in with various keystrokes ( Apple/CMD ( or ⌘) and a Number) shown next to them.
    Using these should get the Buddy list "back".
    It is possible to Hide the Buddy list and then Quit iChat.
    iChat will then "remember" where the windows were eve if this was Hidden.
    Can you confirm that after reinstalling or restoring from Time Machine with possibly an Earlier Version you have Downloaded the COMBO version of OS X 10.6.8 and "run the COMBO" (Installed it - again) to update iChat ?
    It is possible the text chat Window is also Hidden on double clicking a Buddy.
    The easiest way for this to happen is to use a second Display and drag some windows to the second Display.
    iChat "remembers" where you last had Outgoing Chats so Audio and Video windows will be where you left them as will Text Chats.
    Incoming Chat Invites are normally in set places unless there is a chat already open to that Buddy.
    With  Windowing issue like this is sometimes pays to delete com.apple.ichat.plist itself  (on it's own) and restart iChat  (this plist holds the window positions amongst other things)

  • Mov files won't sync /

    Ok - I just got my new classic and my .mov files won't sync.
    The videos are showing and playing in iTunes - but are "grayed out" on my iPod movie tab. (I can check the boxes, but they don't transfer/sync)
    Here's a screen capture of what I mean :
    http://tinypic.com/r/2vnkmkk/3
    I've tried resetting already.
    Message was edited by: BBrendan

    Figured it out - I wanted to "create an ipod version" of the video from the advanced tab in itunes - but couldn't do it until I had created an account at the itunes store.
    Once I'd created the account, the option became available.

  • I downloaded a movie to my Air, but it won't sync to my ipad2 and says it's not authorized.  It's not a rental.  Anyone else have this problem or know how to resolve?

    I downloaded a movie to my Air, but it won't sync to my ipad2 and says it's not authorized.  It's not a rental.  Anyone else have this problem or know how to resolve?

    I ended up having a one hour conversation with Apple Support which evolved to handing over control of my screen and then eventually having to use Terminal.  I wish I could remember the command but it's probably best I don't. 
    One thing we looked at right away was the account name used to dowload the movie.  Is it the same as the account name  you have saved on your iPad.  That's easy to check and would be great if that is all that's needed to correct.  Good luck.
    Here's also an email I got from Support that could solve your problem if it's not as difficult as my issue was.
    I would like to inform you that this issue can occur if iOS (your device's operating system) on your device needs to be updated. It can also happen if the computer you're trying to sync from has not been authorized to play purchases you are trying to sync.
    I suggest that you first see if updating iOS on your iPad resolves the issue. This article will walk you through the process:
    Backing up, updating, and restoring your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    If there are still purchases that won't sync to your device after you update its software, I suggest reauthorizing your computer. To do so, follow these steps:
    1) Open iTunes.
    2) From the Store pull-down menu at the top, choose Deauthorize Computer.
    3) Enter your account name and password, then click Deauthorize.
    4) Now from the Store pull-down menu at the top, choose Authorize Computer.
    5) Enter your account name and password, then click Authorize.
    Once your computer has been authorized, try syncing your device again. If the same issue happens, I suggest reviewing the following articles:
