Problems changing the video type in iTunes 8

Just downloaded the new iTunes 8 this morning.
Having trouble changing a video from a "Movie" to a "TV Show".
In the previous iTunes version you would just right click, Get Info, click the Video tab, and a drop-down menu would be available to change from Movie, to TV Show, to Music Video. This feature seems to have vanished now. Why?
So now every time I import a .mp4 file into iTunes it automatically sets it as a Movie. Any tips on changing this?
Thanks!

Thanks so much - greatly appreciated.

I mistakenly changed the video type to iTunes U

I was intending to classify it as a TV Show. Now I cannot see it on my Itunes U library therefore I cannot change the video type to the originally intended TV Show. I know the file exists by using Finder and browsing all the way down to Itunes U folder, but I can't edit the information (actually the "get Info" box in Finder is completely different from the "get Info" box in Itunes).
How can I make this files show up in Itunes U so that I can change the video type once again? Is there a way I can change the video type form outside Itunes?

Does it show up if you create a smart playlist with the rule Name is <Name>, or a similar constuction using the details you can recall? If so then you will be able to reset the Media Kind.

Can You Change The Video Thumbnail In iTunes?

I have a few home made videos that are loaded on my itunes Movies.
I would like to change the thumbnail view that iTunes displays.
I know how to add thumbnail artwork by right clicking on the video file
and selecting get info, but that is not what I want to do. When there is
no image in the artwork section iTunes displays a frame from your video
clip as the artwork, this is what I would like to change.
Is it possible on iTunes to select a different frame?

Can't change the media type in iTunes

I just recently bought my first MBP and I have been busy transferring all my files from my Vaio to my MBP. I convert all my dvds to digital format and keep them on an external HDD (LaCie 1TB HDD) and was adding them to my iTunes on my MBP. I came across a problem trying to change the media kind for some of the videos.
I have several shows on my HDD (anime, Dexter, Walking Dead, etc.) but when I go to change the media kind to TV Show, it doesn't let me. The info on the folder says my MBP has "Read only" permission. How can I change this so I can read and write the files for my MBP? This is about the only snag I've come across trying to set up my MBP similar to my Vaio.
Thanks in advance

With the folder's "Get Info" window open, click the pad lock at the bottom right of the window to inlock it (you'll need to type in your system password--the one you use to log in to your computer). Then, select the "read only" privilege next to your name and slide up to select "Read and write." If there are other folders within the folder, click on the gear symbol at the bottom of the window and select "Apply to enclosed items..."

Problems with the video display in iTunes.

I was hooking up my PowerBook G4 to my television, so my sister could watch a television show that I had downloaded, while I worked on some stuff online. I don't know what exactly the term for how I had it connect is, but I had my laptop connected to my televisionn so that when I drag the video box off my laptop screen to the right, it appeared on the television. That was fine until I dragged the box back into my laptop's screen. I made the video display so large that the shrink/enlarge tab on the bottom right corner of the video window is off my screen under my dock bar. I've tried exiting out of iTunes and even restarting my computer but iTunes is keeping the video screen that large and I can't figure out how to shrink it, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Pressing F9 and then clicking on iTunes didn't do anything, but I can close iTunes anyways, that isn't the problem. It is just the seperate video display window that is the prblem . As for the other suggestion I cannot right click, so I definatly cannot right click on the window. However if you know of a way I can get it to normal or even original size with out right clicking, that would be helpful.

Can i change the file type on itunes? they arent compatible with my mp3

is there a way to change the file to a wma or mp3? please help before i brain myself with the keyboard ^^

wma is Windows Media Player format so no to that. mp3 can be done of course. In the importing section of preferences you can set what kind of file is created when ripping CDs.

Did something change with the video formats in iTunes 10.5?

Good afternoon,
Since updating to iTunes 10.5, I've found that I can't sync any videos (whether they be TV Shows, Films or Video Podcasts) to my iPod. I've tried various different methods of trying to fix this but every time I do I get given the error message "Some of the videos in your iTunes library, including the video "xxxxx", were not copied to the iPod "xxxxx" because they cannot be played on this iPod."
Now, any of the videos added prior to iTunes 10.5 still work and I can sync them to my iPod without a problem and still play them from there, but anything since then it's just been throwing out the error. I have a 16GB iPod Nano with the latest software version (1.0.2), running off Windows XP SP3, and all Apple software I use is up-to-date.
Please can anyone give me any hints or help in solving this problem?
Thanks,
Dan

I think you do not understand, this is all in iTunes under windows.
Here I have a few screens of the problem.
Here is my iTunes video list
Here is me looking at the info of a video in the iTunes library
Here is a list of videos on my iPhone
And here is the info for a video that is on the iPhone
As you can see after the video has been transferred the artwork tab and the artwork it self disappears.

In iTunes I'm having problems changing the "Media Kind" with a number of playlists in the OPTIONS menu from "music" to "audiobook". After going through the steps, the next time I check the items have reverted back to "music". What step am I missing?

In iTunes I'm having problems changing the "Media Kind" in the OPTIONS menu from "Music" to "Audiobook". After going through the steps, the next time I check, the items have reverted back to "Music". What must I do to save it as an "Audiobook"?

After more digging in the Support section here and some Google work, I turned off iTunes Match and lo and behold! I can change the media kind to Audiobook! So, it looks like iTunes Match locked the files up somehow and for some reason.
I went into iTunes Store > iTunes Match > "No, Thanks" to disable it on the local PC.

ITunes U can not change the video view size to 1x

After updating to iOS 6, I realised that the iTunes U video play can only display the maximal size view which makes the video quality very poor and there isn't any way for to change the video to 1x size. I wonder if anyone has found a solution for this issue yet. Thank you and look forward to hearing answers about this issue.

Changing the media type

whenever i go to make a new dvd, i have to go into "project", then "project info" and change the "media type" 8 GB double layer to 4 GB single layer. is there a way to keep it set it to 4 GB?
also, if i was to make a OneStep DVD, how do i know it will be set to 4 GB?
thanks,
David

The cause of this is that Podcasts are listed by "Programme Series Title", but the video shows up in Film by "Episode" title. When you change it to a Podcast, iTunes will sort it by Programme Series Title. However, if the video has no "programme title" information, iTunes will list it as a blank title.
You might see "blank title" Podcasts at the bottom of the Podcast list window.
And of course, when you click on the expand arrow to the left of a Podcast Programme Title, the list expands to show the Episode Titles.

How do you change a video type?

I want to know how to change a video type like TV Show or Movie so when you go on your iPod under videos it will audomadicly have a section called TV Shows or something with whatever you wanted to be in that catergory in there. Help me please!

Hello, Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Right-click your video in iTunes and select "Get Info" from the pop-up menu. Then click on the "Options" tab, and change the type under "Video Kind:"
The video type cannnot be changed on TV Shows or movies purchased from iTunes. It can be changed on a Video Podcast though.

Some of the videos in your iTunes library, including the video "Video 1"...

"Some of the videos in your iTunes library, including the video "Video 1" were not copied to the iPod because they cannot be played on this iPod."
Never had this problem before. I just updated iTunes and there was no change. All videos are in .mov format. I've tried .mp4 as well with no change.
I've deleted them from the library and tried putting them back in several times. Anyone have any help for me?

Hi!
I've been following the 5G iPod threads and playing around with video files for the past week while waiting for the iPod to arrive. It's now here. I somehow managed to rip a full-length DVD, demux the AC3 audio and convert it to AAC, put the movie back together, and load it into the iPod (don't ask... I don't think I could explain it...). However, the slideshow (with music) I made in iMovie (with input only from iPhoto and iTunes) which I "shared" to QuickTime (pro) using the expert settings and the default option to convert for iPod failed to load to the iPod!
Hmmm... strange that using five, third-party programs/hacks got me a full length feature film, but my Apple programs with built-in support used in the default mode for iPod failed to convert a simple three-minute iMovie slideshow. I tried two of them, neither worked...

Changing the 'Video Kind'

I have a bunch of personal videos, movies, music videos and tv shows. Under 'Get Info'>'Options' you can change the video kind to either movie or music video. I want a better way to organize my videos. Does anyone know how to change it so the tv shows I've downloaded outside of iTunes are classified as tv shows and not movies?

Try going here:
http://www.command-tab.com/
The second article has a very brief description, with a sample command line. Here's my suggestion. Move the AtomicParsley folder onto the main drive (C:/) so there is less to enter for your paths (and less opportunity for mistakes), then copy the file you want to convert into the atomicparsley folder, and then change the name of the file to a short name with no spaces - try file1.m4v (mp4, etc).... Then, open atomicparsley and type the command line verbatim (pay special attention to the space before the file name in the string), except the path to the file (users/collins/24_1×01.). In it's place, insert your file name (file1.m4v), and enter the appropriate information that you're wanting to change and just hit enter.
It should run, and you'll see % markers scroll down the open window. It will notify you that the temporary file has been completed, and you can then rename the temporary file (in the atomicparsley folder) and test it to make sure it worked.
Since I'm not on a Mac, it's a little hard to be too specific since I'm completely unaware of what the Mac interface looks like in AP. But a command line is a command line, and it should work the same. Hope I was as clear as I can be under the circumstances....

How can we change the message type?

Hello all
We use SRM server 5.5 with classic scenario.
When we create shopping cart, we implemented the Change Badi to assign the purchasing group from R/3 material master.
We implemented the following logic.
If material master in R/3 has no purch. Group, SRM also has no purch. Group. So SRM display the error message You should select the purch. group to determine the purchasing group in basic view.
But, We have the standard error message, when we choose the material code this material code has no purch. Group in R/3 No purchasing groups were found.
Message number is BBP_ATTR050.
Because of this message, we can not progress the process to create shopping cart.
Can we change the message type from Error to Warning Message?
Or, Can we delete this message?
Thank you,
Best regards,
SH

Yes. You are right.
When user choose the material code, there is no purch. group in 1st Step, but
we want to choose the purch. group in 2nd Step on basic view.
But we have the error message at 1st step. so we can not progress to 2nd Step.
If we use dummy purch. group, user could make the human mistake.
So our customer want to remove purch. group and choose the purchasing group by user.
But i'm not sure if we remove this error message, we got solve this problem..
Pls give me an idea..

Is it possible to change the video card of a pavilion g7-1075dx?

So, I have an HP Pavilion g7-1075dx Notebook with Windows 7. I'm an avid gamer and wish to play the newest games. However, there's one problem thats keeping me from doing so. Alot of the newer games require newer video/graphics cards. This particular laptop has an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250. The newest games seem to require ATI Radeon HD 4850 and above. This is the only thing thats keeping me from playing games like Starcraft II on the highest settings OR in the case of Star Wars: The Old Republic, it almost keeps me from playing the game, period, due to the graphics being too much for my current card to handle, causing massive lag. I was hoping I could change the video card. Upgrade. However, i've heard that with most laptops or notebooks you can't upgrade anything other than the RAM. I'm hoping anyone on here can help me out and tell me if it is possible to get a new video card for my laptop. We don't have a desktop computer so this laptop is my only hope for a long time to play newer PC games.

Alright, let me put this in a simpler message: Does anyone know if it is possible to change the video card currently in my laptop, the HP Pavilion g7-1075dx, for a newer and better one. ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250 to ATI Radeon HD 4850 or higher.
