Puttin videos in ipod...HELP!

how on earth do i put videos into my ipod?? is it possible using quicktime player?? if it is, plz give me sum steps!! some ppl say through itunes , but when i try, the video doesn't appear in itunes.... - videos such as .avi, .mpg, .mpeg format....if i need 2 convert, issit possible using quicktime..if not...how??...thxx in advance

I think this is the poorest feature of iPOD, the lack of File Management system and the possibility to drop your own files into iTUNES and read them on your iPOD... but anyway, it looks like several companies are offering iPOD Video Converters...
I haven't used any yet, but will try the following this evening from home: http://www.videora.com/en-us/Converter/iPod/download.php
Good luck!

Where are the videos from? are they from a creditable source or from an illegal downloading site such as limewire. most of those videos are not in the correct video format to begin with so apple itunes will not recognize them and convert them. The best way to convert video is to rip your own dvds or home movies and put them on your computer then ipod. There is at least one way on each operating system (windows and mac) to rip your own dvds and then transfer them to itunes and finally put them on your ipod. A mac is the easiest of the two ways. If you have a mac, then you download a program off of the web called handbrake. Simply "google" >handbrake rip dvds< and its homepage should pop up or try <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://">http://handbrake.m0k.org). Handbrake allows you to copy and convert your dvds to ipod format. On a windows operating system the most effective way I have found to rip my dvds is quicktime pro($25-$35). You can buy it at quicktime's website. It basically does the same thing as handbrake. I, myself, have simply converted some videos, like sports shows and commercials, to ipod format using itunes and both the video and audio worked fine.
If you have any ?'s just reply back
I hope this helps!

ITunes won't allow me to play video on iPod, help?

I'm trying to get a video on my iPod but it's not allowing me, it says it can't be copied because it won't play on my iPod, despite it playing just fine on iTunes itself. I'd really appreciate the help. The video file is mp4.

iTunes can play many different types of mpeg-4 videos that are not compatible with the iPod. iTunes can playback 720p and 1080p mpeg-4 AVC baseline 1.4 videos that can't even be played using AppleTV (or the iPod). So iTunes compatibility doesn't always mean iPod compatibility.
However, you can convert it in iTunes to ipod compatibility.
Highlight the movie in itunes, go to menu ADVANCED and select "Create iPod or iPhone version".

VIDEO ONTO IPOD HELP

Ok so i got the part up to movie onto the ipod problem now is that no music plays but the video plays wats wrong with that ? replay asap plz thx for the help

Hi Josef,
When you say "other formats", that leaves a lot of room for interpretation.
Without knowing exactly what you want to convert, you need your video in a format that QuickTime (7.0.4)recognizes. You can then export to iPod. On the Mac, File > Export > Movie to iPod (320x240). You can also do this from within FinalCutPro. Remember it's illegal to do this with copyrighted material!
Good luck,
Maz

Videos onto ipod help!!!!!!!!

i have music videos on my computer already and when i put them in itunes and try and put them onto my ipod it says my ipod doesnt play this type of video....i tried converting it for ipod on my itunes and it converts it and it will let the video go onto my ipod but there is no sound....i also tried converting the video on quicktime but it still doesnt have audio...does anyone know how to convert videos already on my computer so i can put them on my ipod???

does anyone know how to convert videos
already on my computer so i can put them on my ipod???
The easiest way:
1) Make sure you have iTunes 6.0.2
2) Import the video into iTunes.
3) rightclick on the video and select 'convert selection for ipod'.
That's it!!
The harder way (but better quality)
Plenty of free video conversion software out there. Use Videora iPod Converter. If you don't like that, I'm sure someone else will be able to advise you on something else (also free).

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).

Itunes converrts videos for ipod but then thay have no SOUND!!! Help please

Itunes converrts videos for ipod but then thay have no SOUND!!! Help please
Just bought it a couple of days ago, and its doing this!!! why doed the videos now both on my ipod and itunes not have sound?

Your source video file is probably muxed.
Neither QT Pro or iTunes has the ability to successfully encode a muxed video file with audio. You'll end up with video and no audio.
You'll need to use some other third-party software to do the conversion. There's a handful of software available. Just search the forums and you'll find many titles mentioned.
Try MPEG Streamclip.

My old computer got fried from a lightning strike, so we are trying to get iTunes and pics off of it but I dont know if it possible yet. Luckily my iPod was not connected to my computer during the storm. Thanks for your help

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.

Ipod video problems please help

Hi,
Welcome to Apple Discussions
What are you using to create the video? You might want to look at QuickTime - Creating Video for iPod, Exporting iMovie HD to iPod, and Syncing Videos to Your iPod.

I just recently upgraded my itouch from 4.1 to ios5, and updated to itunes 10.5. when isynced my music files,ebooks and other apps, all is working except when im trying to sync my video files. it says, canot be synced as cannot be played on this ipod.help

i just recently upgraded my itouch from 4.1 to ios 5, and updated to itunes 10.5. but when i synced my music files,ebooks and other apps, all is working except when im trying to sync my video files. it says, canot be synced as cannot be played on this ipod. but those are the same files that i have when i was using the old 4.1 version and its syncing just fine.. the itunes advanced tab "create iphone or ipod version" is not working either so i cant convert it to be xferred and synced. what can i do to have my video files synced?

i had the same problem but i just got a new video converter and made it convert videos to ipod/iphone format and then put them into itunes. i would suggest GOM encoder as the encoder can convert them and then once they're finished converting, put them automatically into your itunes for you. from there you can just sync them to your ipod.

Converting videos for ipod trouble need help plz

i always have to convert my videos for ipod but when i do, there is no more sound. how do i fix this?

Julia,
You need to format the iPod for Windows use.
Download the iPod Updater, install this to your computer, restart the computer, run the Updater, then connect your iPod when prompted, then follow the set up procedure.

How come I can't put music on my ipod? I already have a fair amount of music on my ipod but I have enough space for more. I am using a new computer with itunes and it is telling me if I wasnt to put the new music on my ipd i need to erase my ipod HELP!

Because you can only synce with one iTunes library and you are switching libries by using the new computer. To nake this yyour syncing computer:
- Move all the media(apps, music, synced video and photos etc) to the new computer.
- Connect the iPofd yo the computer and bake a backup fo the iPod by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup.
Note that the backup that iTunes makes doe not include media.
To move mdia to the new computer see:
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer

ITunes won't sync videos to iPod (no "Movies" tab in iTunes either)

Hey... I really hope you could help me somehow, I'm really desperate..
So few days ago I was able to sync videos to iPod 30GB and everything went well. When I added some more videos to iTunes and connected iPod in order to sync those videos everything stopped working. All of my music and pics are still in the iPod, but videos are gone completely. There is no "Videos/Movies" tab in iTunes (iPod actually) nor "Images" tab... How can fix this??
Thnx for your help...

I'm suspecting that you don't have the video iPod. Although your iTunes supports video, there is absolutely no reference to video on the iPod portion of the screen. Also, there's no Photo tab and no Games tab.
Further, the iPod software version number is completely out of whack. The latest version for the Generation-5 iPod is 1.2.1 yet you have 6.0. Finally, your serial number doesn't look quite right. I have absolutely confirmed that that is not a serial number for the "late 2006 Generation-5" unit but I can't get sample serial numbers from the earlier Gen-5 units.
Go here and determine exactly what you have.

Itunes Wont Load videos onto Ipod

hi, i currently have a 60GB ipod video, and now itunes is refusing to load any videos onto my ipod, i tried so many different programs to convert video, eg videora, PQ DVD, and Replay converter etc.
and i get the same error, it says video was not copied to the ipod because it cannot be played on this ipod.
is there a way to load videos without using Itunes? or can i force itunes to load the videos?
any help would be appreciated...
thanx ^_^

"All my songs are listed on the IPOD but are faded where they are in regular font in my library"
Grey text when you look at the content and lock symbol at the bottom of the screen simply shows that your iPod is set to "automatically update songs and playlists".
Try restoring your iPod, this will erase the hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. This will give you a fresh installation and allow you to start over: Restoring iPod to Factory Settings
