Problem with iPod video playback

I have a problem with some of my movies' playbacks on my Nano 5g. Though working perfectly fine on both my computer, and my iPod video, on my Nano some videos are slightly cut off on the right of the screen, I'm missing about 10% of the video due to the cut off. Though technically I should still be able to watch the movies fine, it niggles me and inhibits my full enjoyment of the videos. Is there any way I can crop or rescale the movie so it will fit properly on my screen? Thanks
(I have already tried both wide screen and scale to screen size on the iPod)

Go to the video settings (iPod nano) and turn off fit to screen.

Problems with Flash video playback

I'm having a problem with Flash video playback, hoping
someone here can help.
I have several movies which I have converted to .flv using
the Flash authoring tool. I have then created an .swf for each
movie, embedding the .flv along with the playback component,
playback controls, etc.
I can open these .swfs using Flash Player and everything
displays and plays as expected. However, when I embed the .swf into
a web page and open it using a browser, the playback controls don't
show up, and the movie will only play if it has been encoded to
autoplay. I am on an Intel Mac, using the latest Flash Player
plug-in, and am having this problem in both Firefox 2.0.0.11 and in
Safari 2.0.4.
I'm guessing that the problem lies in how I have encoded the
.swfs into the web page? Hoping someone has a solution, or at least
a good suggestion!
thanks,
- sounddevisor

Yes, that is exactly what I needed. Thanks!
Just to clarify for anyone else who stumbles across this -
the extra .swf files (which contain the skin for the player) need
to be in the same directory as the .html doc which is displaying
the video .swf. Hope that helps someone else!

Problem with 5800 video playback

I am having problems with high quality playback on my 5800. When I transfer videos using high quality encoding through the OVI suite or through an external converter, and play it back on the phone, it practically never plays smoothly. it suffers from frame skips and hanging of videos in the middle of playback while the audio still continues in the background. this also holds true for the videos that came with the phone. is there any way to smooth it out. I am presently downloading the firmware update but I don't think it will fix the issue since it was not mentioned in the update list.
any help will be greatly appreciated.
thanks.

I installed the new firmware and, as I expected, it hasn't solved the problem

Syncing/Charging Problem with iPod Video 5G

I am experiencing a problem with my iPod Video 5G. When pressing the center button of the device, the apple logo appears. But before it completely starts up, it dies, leaving the screen with a faint apple logo and some lines. When I plug the iPod into my PC, a screen is displayed saying "Please Wait, Very Low battery." After a while, it restarts, and fully comes on, displaying the "Do Not Remove" screen. But a message shows up saying "No Battery Power Remains. Connect iPod to Computer". However, the battery meter in the top right hand corner shows a a completely charged battery. Also, it starts to beep. The iPod briefly shows up in iTunes, but then it shuts off, displaying a "very low battery" message again, and an error message comes up in iTunes. This whole process keeps repeating over again. This all came up out of no where, as I had used the iPod a few hours before this started. I have no idea what's wrong with it. Could it be the battery? Or the hard drive? I would appreciate any help greatly.

SEVERE, MAJOR Problems with ITunes Video Playback on 64-bit Win7

So I got a new rig (ASUS G74SX running 64-bit Win7 Home Prem) after I figured my nearly 5-year old HP Pav dv9500t running 32-bit Vista Home Prem had put in good years of work. In using ITunes on the Vista system, I never really saw problems with its player on video podcasts.
Completely different story on the Win7 machine. Aside from all the other problems noted with ITunes itself (not the player) in this forum, there is this:
1. When something like UAC occurs, the video clip runs in the player, but the video is frozen (like a photographic still) while the audio continues to run on normally. Workaround: minimize then restore the player window, then the video part of playback returns. Of course that gets annoying doing that multiple times after a while.
2. With one video podcast (for example, The Young Turks podcasts), while the audio again continues normally, the video track lags unbelievably. The video appears in slow motion. The viewer risks a headache from vertigo if the viewer continues watching slow motion video unmatched with the normal audio.
At first I considered the possiblity that it was related to a 5400 rpm hard disk drive, which came with the new machine and I would not have normally have not bought myself, but I had someone buying it for me (my HP system only had 7200 rpm drives...what is ASUS thinking in letting Best Buy do a performance markdown?). Then I played that video podcast with VLC media player, and it absolutely had NO problem keeping up with the video and audio. (Another thing to like and prefer with this player is that you can keep the window on top.)
Seriously, the programming group at ITunes should be ashamed and maybe every member of its group should consider getting another day job. With each revision, ITunes seems to get worse.

My installation of version 10.6.x of ITunes does not have QuickTime.
As of version 10.5 of ITunes, QuickTime is no longer apparently bundled with ITunes, which clearly has its own player. In addition, I have used a minimal install of ITunes. This eliminates the install of the bug-ridden Bonjour service, which was filling up Windows event logs needlessly and crashing from time to time anyway.
Now although I installed ITunes only a few days ago in this new laptop, I did find ITunes in the Programs & Features page and clicked Repair. After the "repair," I played the video revealing the flaws of the ITunes player, and the playback problems were still there. I used the other media player and it played flawlessly.

Problem with purchased video playback and app stability

Music videos I've purchased through the iTMS play for about 20 seconds then the audio stops, and about 5 seconds later the app crashes and returns me to the main menu or the phone reboots; this problem occurs only with a video I've purchased, as any other video or even podcast plays without a hitch. It's something I can recreate without problem, I just have to play a purchased video and it will crash the app.
I've tried doing a regular reboot and even a full restore, neither of which fixes the problem.
The applications in general seem stable for the most part, but sometimes I even have problems doing basic functions like browsing pictures in Photos, using Maps, or even typing up something in Notes.
Do I have a lemon or the start of one? Is there a solution that I've overlooked? What should I do if this is just hardware failure? I really, really enjoy my phone for the majority of it and it's something that I'm always discussing with my friends and family. Thanks in advance for any answers.

Problem with iPod Video (30gb) since update

Hi all.
I, today have had a slight problem with the iPod updater on my iPod Video. I have installed the newest version of itunes (6.0.2 I think), which prompted me to install the newest iPod updater with it, I downloaded that and installed it. After installing I ran the updater, it began to finish the installation and my computer froze (I'm using a new hard drive in my computer and found out thats the problem). My iPod, now, when I turn it on has a blank white screen, I've tried the resetting method (toggle hold, then hold menu and select 6 - 10 seconds) and the light goes away, the ipod beeps 3 times and the white screen comes back. Can anybody please help me? I have tried running the installer again and it just freezes, and when the iPod is plugged into the pc itunes doesn't start, how I had it configured.
Please help!!
Apreciated - Sam.
* I have also browsed the whole website thoroughly and found nothing. I have also tried google, and found nothing relating to my problem *

I am leaving soon on a trip and would really appreciate any help on this. Thanks

Lenovo A536 problem with audio video playback.

I've bought lenovo a536 smartphone 3days ago and I couldn't listen to music continuesly.
The audio or video player is stop playing or pausing unexpectedly. It is only giving problem while using headset.
Try to fix this critical bug.
It just ruined the reputation of lenovo.
Such a worst design ever with lots of bugs.

I have more informations..
First a iWire cable is a simple display port to Hdmi 1.4 cable (you can buy it from applestore and it support audio + video).
SO, I installed windows 7 on bootcamp, and when I plug the iWire cable on my macbook pro while the home theater + videoprojector are ON, windows crash and restart...
If I plug the iWire cable on the macbook but if only the home theater is ON and the videoprojector is OFF, then it works... The hometheater is recognized as a TV...
What I don't understand is that my apple TV don't have problem with this config, nether my westerdigital tv.. It's only with a macbook.. display port should not be exactly same thing as a hdmi output maybe.. :/
I think I will have to buy a longer hdmi cable to plug it on the vp, and a optical cable for the audo to my ht :/

Crazy upload problem with Ipod Video

I have an Ipod Video 60gb that I've had no trouble with for a month. Suddenly, when I connect with Itunes to upload music, Itunes identifies the Ipod as having 190gb with 130-150gb already full. This is despite the fact that I've just restored my operating system on the Ipod and wiped it clean with Ipod Updater (6-28-06). Another interesting this is that after restoring the operating system, Itunes still knows the name of the Ipod and has a song list already attributed to it (on the Ipod view in Itunes) as if I've already got music on there. When I restored with Ipod Updater, it also thought I had 190gb. Itunes does the sync process and finishes normally, but there are no songs on the Ipod when it finishes. It's almost like there's two partitions on the Ipod and I can only see one of them. Crazy! Any thoughts?

Many Problems With Ipod Video--Corrupt Hard Drive?

Hello,
I got this iPod 30 GB the christmas of 2005. Ever since a few weeks ago, my iPod started giving me my corrupt messages, so then, I kept restoring and it was fine. This again happened to me recently and haven't resolved it yet. So here is my story:
I did the 5R's = Nothing
I renamed it later in the alphabet = Nothing.
I also must add that I have plugged it in and when I go to 'my computer' to try and format like others said, it freezes; on the 'my computer' & 'iTunes'. I really hope you guys can help me.
I also noticed when I was looking at the about section on my iPod, it says my capacity is like 27.8 GB and available is 10.4 GB, so I don't know if that will help.
I really don't want to buy a new one and hopefully you guys can help me out. Thanks in advance.
Gateway MX6124 Windows XP iPod Video 30GB - 5th Gen

No problem. Have you tried this iPod on another computer?
Also, while everything else is disconnected, connect your iPod and force it into disk mode. If your computer can see it, reformat your iPod (FAT32, not a quick format) and then give it a drive letter of M or P.
Disconnect the iPod and reload the USB Driver:http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305136
Pay attention to the last item in the article, and reload the USB driver even if no new ones are available for your computer.
Reconnect your iPod and see if you can Restore it.

You can set the layout.css.devPixelsPerPx pref on the <b>about:config</b> page to 1.0 or on Windows 8 to 1.25 and if necessary adjust layout.css.devPixelsPerPx starting from 1.0 in 0.1 or 0.05 steps (1.1 or 0.9) to make icons show correctly.

Problems with HD video playback/editing

I bought an Aiptek A-HD video camera from best buy about 6 months ago, and it's great but the video is really glitchy on my computer (Dimension 4700). I assume I need to upgrade my graphics card, but I don't really know what's what. Help please?

Video RAM is only used in large quantities when the card is in 3D mode (primarily for storage of textures).
For any 2D operations, very little video RAM is required.
I strongly suggest focusing on your CPU/system RAM, then later on your video card. Even the Intel GMA X4500MHD (a barebones/basic chipset) is capable of full H.264/AVC offloading for playback.
For editing you will be solely CPU-bound. The exception is that some super-high-end editing software CAN offload to newer NVidia GPUs (using a technique called GP-GPU), but so far almost no software does it, and a lot of reviews indicate that the video quality suffers in such cases.
*disclaimer* I am not now, nor have I ever been, an employee of Best Buy, Geek Squad, nor of any of their affiliate, parent, or subsidiary companies.

Sync problem with iPod Video U2

Since upgrading to 7.5, iTunes doesn't sync my iPod anymore: as soon as I plug my iPod, iTunes recognizes it, but there is no sync because iPod immediately disconnects. I cannot choose 'manual sync' or 'enable disk mode' because this happens after very few seconds. Why???

Try restoring your iPod. Restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions and it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists choose no and it will default to manual mode and enable the iPod for disk use. From there you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7
