Problem transfering video to ipod......HELP PLEASE

i have put videos onto itunes(converted them using videoria)they show up on my itues and in my library but when i try to drag them onto my ipod it doesnt highlight. no response at all. i can only drag them to my "pary shuffle" i know this question has probly been answere a million times but i cant figure out what im doing wrong. im even looking in the folder that videoria saves the transfered songs. still no luck adding them to the ipod. please any feed back will help

I have had this problem, and it deals with the amount of data. It is the Average Bitrate, it should be below 500 kbps. Also try using handbrake or DVD2Pod. I use MacTheRipper to rip the DVD and DVD2oneX to size the DVD to under 4.3 Gig. Also a program that helps is DVDxDV which truns a VOB file to a movie.

Problems transfering videos to ipod since installing itunes 6.02

So, i just upgraded to itunes 6.02 and now i can't transfer videos onto my ipod. It tells me they aren't in the correct format or a format the ipod can play. Before i upgraded i had absolutely no problems. I have tried taking off files that uploaded fine with the previous version of itunes and uploading them with the newer version and they don't work either. I've got the latest updater software and that's made no difference.
I've used both Videora and Apollo ipod convertors and neither make any difference. I've tried both mpeg4 and h.264 formats, but that doesn't work either.
Why do apple bring out software that creates new bugs?!

I just bought a 5th gen and cannot transfer videos.
The videos are a computer format (could not play on TV) and I converted them to play on Ipod like help file stated. It stated that I can drag and drop to Ipod icon that shows when I connect the Ipod and use ITunes. Well no can do! It transfered to ITunes and will play in ITunes but cannot get to Ipod. My Ipod has a video section so I know I can have them on it. I tried with manual and automatic update selected.
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks
Jim

Problem transfering video to ipod

I bought some video files (tv episodes) from the iTunes store and for some reason some of them will not transfer onto my iPod. The first few files worked fine and play on my iPod fine too (it's a season's worth of a TV show I'm discussing here). But the last few downloads refuse to transfer. They will play on the computer but when I drag them onto my iPod - a new 160G classic - it tells me "XX was not copied to the iPod because it cannot be played on this iPod."
Incidentally, I am running the latest iTunes version (7.4.2 (4)) and iPod OS.
It's especially strange because only some of the video files have this problem, not all of them. And as I said they play fine on iTunes on the computer.
I checked and made sure my computer is authorized for my account. Rebooting, ejecting and replugging the iPod, or restarting iTunes doesn't help. Any advice?

I had a similar problem once and solved it by coping the items to another folder. I then removed the items using the iTunes interface and said "Yes" to the "remove video and delete file" question. I then closed iTunes. After opening it again I used the File > Add To Library menu option and added the items again. It worked for me, maybe it wil work for you as well. You may end up needing to do all that, only to find out you need to re-download the titles from the iTunes Store again. Good luck.

}OK .
now I am not getting previous errors.
But now I am getting null pointer exception on clicking the Start button.
Even the file is created.(56 kb)
On your advice I displayed the player and filewriter and got following things
(after clicking start and same even when created in the constructor)
Data Sink started com.sun.media.datasink.file.Handler@1fdc96c
Processor started com.sun.media.processor.unknown.Handler@186d4c1If you find something please let me know.
Thanks in advance.
This shows that processor is having some problem and cant render. While file is created and the println statement shows Data sink object is working fine.

Problems transferring video to ipod

So, i just upgraded to itunes 6.02 and now i can't transfer videos onto my ipod. It tells me they aren't in the correct format or a format the ipod can play. Before i upgraded i had absolutely no problems. I have tried taking off files that uploaded fine with the previous version of itunes and uploading them with the newer version and they don't work either. I've got the latest updater software and that's made no difference.
I've used both Videora and Apollo ipod convertors and neither make any difference. I've tried both mpeg4 and h.264 formats, but that doesn't work either.
Why do apple bring out software that creates new bugs?!

Can you please give me a little more info on your situation... (that's not much to go on...) thanks...

PROBLEM TRANSFERRING VIDEO TO iPod TOUCH

I have converted a .avi video to .mp4 format and it works fine on iTunes. However, it will not function properly on the iPod Touch. How can I fix this? CAN I fix this??

NVM, disregard this post, I found out what went wrong and I fixed it. Everything is fine now.

HT201302 Hello,I have downloaded photos from my ipod touch following the instructions but it doesn't download videos.Can you help please?

Hello,I have downloaded photos from my ipod touch following the instructions but it doesn't download videos.Can you help please?

doesn't download videos
I seen so many of these post for windows users.
Try my little "trick" (must be running iOS 4.3 or better)
Download the app "Download Manager Lite" (FREE) or "Download Manager" Full ($ 1.99 USD)
After downloading, transfer it to iTunes
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
After transferring, Go to your iDevice (on itunes), to the apps page, scroll down, you can add/save videos and/or files.
Click on "Add", find the folder of which your movies are being downloaded. Its much faster than syncing from itunes.
You can do the wi-fi transfer, the best part is that you don't have to be connected to the same wi-fi.
You will get 2 different URLs you need to type on your computer. Type the Web URL not the ftp URL. After that, you should have access to the app, without the need of itunes.
Click on Add, find the folder of where your movies are stored, faster than syncing with iTunes.
HOPE THIS HELPS.

Problems transferring video to pc on the 6790

I am having problems transferring video from my phone to my laptop. I downloaded the PC Suite and had no problems with my pics, but the video won't play once it transfers to my laptop. Any ideas on what I need to do to get them to play?

What program are you using to play the files on your computer?
The procedure should actually be the same, connect via data transfer and drag and drop is the simplest for me.
Do the videos play while they are still on your memory card by any chance

Help! Trouble transferring videos to iPod

Hi! I really need some help here, I e-mailed the iTunes store and called tech support and neither one helped.
I have a Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop computer with Windows XP and a Fifth Generation 30 GB video iPod. I purchased a season of television shows from the iTunes music store and I can't transfer them on top my iPod. They play on my computer just fine. I also downloaded a podcast with some video episodes which transferred to my iPod just fine. Some of the earlier episodes had to be converted for the iPod but then worked afterwards.
Also, whenever I click into the Video tab of the ipod settings, the button is clicked that says do not transfer video and it does not let me click anywhere else.
Any suggestions?!?!

Hey there!
Go back to File > Preferenes > iPod > Video
If the "Do Not Transfer Video" option has a checkmark next to it, you should be able to click on the checkmark to remove it.
Let me know what happens...

Converting an MPG video for ipod.. please HELP

Hello... i'm sorry about my bad english...
I tried many times converting videos for ipod, it allways convert them and than they become without the sound... someone can help me with that?
Thanks
Leo

Quicktime or Quicktime Pro (which iTunes uses) don't convert "muxed" ( muxed means multiplexed where the audio and video are stored on the same track) video files properly. It only plays the video and not the audio.
See:iPod plays video but not audio.
You need a 3rd party converter to convert the file with both audio and video.
See this for help: Guide to converting video for iPod (Mac/Windows).

Problem transfering music/updating ipod

I recently moved and changed computers. My ipod had my library from home on it but i had a new library at my apt. i plugged my ipod in to see what kind of transfer there would be and it erased my ipod and filled it with the new library. then i went back home, and reversed it with my old library. finally, i had enough at my apt so once more i erased my ipod and built it with the library from my computer. today i tried to traditionally transfer music, adding music into my ipod. it would not update, it said it was finished updating but when i looked, none of the new songs were transfered into my ipod.... please help im so frustrated. ive tried reinstalling but that doesn't solve the problem.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
What you are trying to do is illegal. You cannot take your friend's music. That is one of the reasons for the message.
Also, even if legal, you cannot use iTunes to move music from iPod to computer.

60 Gig iPOD help please !!!!!!!!!!!!

****0......
I have a 60 Gig Color Display, have managed to successfully download songs, but have a problem with transferring videos/movies. The iPOD plays them, but there is no audio. I surfed the web last nite and found others had same problem, but saw no real solution. They are MP4 files and not mult-plexed. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated as I have a business trip later today and wanted to use the movie feature....heck, I'll even give ya a prize since answers are so hard to come by on here
Thanks all !

That happened to me to. I think it did it though when I did something to the video settings. It was quite a while ago, so I don't remember. Go to video and then to video settings. I just fiddled around with that, and it worked. Calling Apple Care doesn't help me too much, though I still call them once in a while. Not sure if this helps much, but hope you resolve the problem.

Music not in iTunes or iPod help please!!

I am currently on Windows Vista, but my old computer was XP. The hard drive of my old computer got so full I had to delete all my music to free up some space. I thought I had backed it up on disc use on my iPod, but later I found out that somehow that hadn't happened.
So I figured I could just transfer everything to my new computer from my ipod. I hooked it up, told it not to erase anything, enabled manual use, all that good stuff, and itunes locks up. So I restarted my computer and replugged the ipod, but rater than ask me the same questions itunes just erased everthing on my ipod! The only things in itunes and my ipod are purchases! Most of my songs were from CDs, a lot of which I don't own or have since lost. I had over a thousand songs and now I have 96.
Is there anyway to recover songs off your ipod once itunes decides to delete them or am I just screwed? I didn't even get a chance to download a program that could have transfered my music from my ipod. Please help me!

*The hard drive of my old computer got so full I had to delete all my music to free up some space.*
You really painted yourself into a corner. The better solution would have been to purchase an external drive. I've seen 290G units for less than US$100. The iPod should NEVER be the prime storage device.
*I thought I had backed it up on disc use on my iPod...*
You've got it backwards. The computer's hard drive backs up the iPod. Further, the computer's hard drive should be backed up to CDs/DVDs or yet another external hard drive but certainly not the iPod as the iPod backs up NOTHING.
*Most of my songs were from CDs, a lot of which I don't own...*
Well, now that I realize that you're stealing music, I no longer have any sympathy for you.

Transfering videos from iPod 4th gen to Mac

Ok so I've read almost everywhere that 4th gen iPods have HD video. when I see my videos on mi iPod they look pretty good but I've unable to transfer them to my Mac so I had to e-mail each and every one of them, and they look HORRIBLE, and they're definitely not 720p x 480, they are actually 568 x 320.
The only reason I can think of is because they compress a lot in orden to fit in an e-mail, but there HAS to be a way to transfer them in their original HD format via USB cable, help please!

This sounds like an ipod touch question.
You should ask in the ipod touch forum.

Problems transferring video from iTunes to iPad

Can anyone help with transferring video from iTunes across to an iPad. This has worked smoothly in the past but now nothing seems to transfer across. Within iTunes on my computer, I've opened the iPad and chosen a new movie to transfer (ticking the box adjacent to the film). There apperas to be plenty of space left on the iPad (currently 3.98GB) .Then I've clicked Sync. At the top of the iTunes window, the iPad is shown as syncing (very quickly) but when I check on the ipad, the movie hasn't transferred.
Next, I've disconneceted the iPad from iTunes and restarted it - I've also tried restarting within iTunes - then reconnected to my computer and tried a fresh Sync. Same problem; the movie won't transfer. On the list of movies shown in iTunes as being on my iPad, the new movie shows up (albeit in grey - so not loaded). As it's not displaying in videos on the iPad, I can't delete it to start afresh.
Any suggestions welcome....

Thanks for the link. As noted I've managed the transfer on many occasions before, but for some reason the iPad and iTunes no longer feel like syncing. I did finally manage the transfer by restarting the computer (as well as the iPad) then trying to Sync the iPad. It shouldn't be such an issue however!
With regard to the home sharing, point taken but my wifi doesn't reach the room where I want to watch the movie on the iPad. This option doesn't work for me...
