Putting .mov files on iPod

Hi, I have a bunch of .mov files, some dating back a few years, and I would like to make them viewable on the iPod video. Currently iTunes tells me they are not in the right format but upon doing research I've discovered that .mov files should be compatible with iPod.
I have also learned that if I have Quicktime 7.0.3 installed on my computer any software with the "Quicktime Export Panel" will have the option to export to iPod. What software has this option? I can't seem to find any information on that.
Any tips, directions, on how to do this is very appreciated.
Thanks,
Holly

I have had that problem before. If you can see them in iTunes right click on the .mov file. In the window choose *Convert Selection for iPod*. That should allow them to be used on your iPod.

Can you use QT mov. files on ipod

is it possible to use quicktime mov. files on ipod, i have them in my itunes but am wondering if this is possible,
thankyou

You seem to be confusing the file format (.mov) with its content (compression format). If the .mov file does not contain a format compatible with your iPod, then you must convert it to a compatible format. The specifics for this conversion depend on the specific format present in your source file, what system you are using, and the software you have available, are willing to download, or purchase.
For instance, let's say you have a .mov file which contains a "muxed" MPEG1 movie. If you have a Mac, you could use the free iSquint application to turn it into an iPod compatible movie. On the other hand, Windows users could use the free Videora iPod Converter to do the same thing.
Use your QT Player "Show Movie Info" window to determine in which format your source file is actually enconded and go from there.

How to put movies on a ipod video (mac computer)

Hi everyone i am new to the wonderful wold of mac's and ipods. I just picked one up yesterday and would like to put my own movies on it. I did a quick search but it looks like most people are using pc for there ipod. Can someone give me detailed instructions on putting a dvd onto my ipod using a mac.

Well let me give you an example i used handbrake last night to take the movie "Full Metal Jacket" and put it onto my ipod. I changed a couple of settings on handbrake and i just want to know if they are what i should of changed. I changed the screen resolution to 320x240 and the bitrate kbps to 750. Than i tried to play the movie but my it said quicktime could not read the file, or something to that effect. I than put it into my itunes library and hit the button to convert for ipod...only took a min or 2 to convert it, and than it went onto my ipod with out a problem. but the file size if i remember correctly the file size was almost 699mb. That is kind of large. Just in comparison, i never use limewire but i wanted to check it out so i downloaded stewie griffin: the untold story. It was on there already in mpeg 4 format for the ipod and that movie is like an hour and a half long and the file size was only 196mb, and it sounds and looks great...can anyone tell me what i am doing wrong...
Thanks

Still want to put movies on your ipod? Me too!

Hello,
If many like the other recent buyers of the 5g ipod are still scratching there heads about videos on there ipod- im with you. I installed the videora ipod converter and a dvd decrypter and am still lost- is there a simpler way to put movies on?

I don't want too use the easy quicktime export because of it's limited resolution and aspect ratio I have movies of 320X135 and there is no option to modify the template in the quicktime export so adjust that one thing.
"Movie to iPod (320x24)" preset is a "constrained aspect ratio" conversion. This means that the maximum area it can convert to is a 320x240 4:3 aspect ratio display. However if you start with a 640x360 16:9 aspect movie clip, the resulting H.264 iPod ready target file will end up a 320x180 target file which, as you see, is also a 16:9 picture aspect ratio. In other words, this preset will set the width of your target file to 320 and then adjust the height to whatever setting maintains the original aspect ratio.
H.264
320X135
Baseline restriction
Audio 160kbps 44.1khz
Video, 768kbps dual pass
These setting will likely be out of specs in most "action" filled movies or ones shot in most with darkened, spooky scenes. If you check the combined data rate (video + audio data rates) for the target files which will not sync, you will likely find that this number is above the maximum 768kbps allowed for H.264 playback on the iPod.
Lets say I give you a cup and say it will hold 8 ounces of coffee. Therefore, you immediately pour in 8 ounces of coffee. But it turns out that you like cream in your coffee. In fact, you love cream so much that you pour in 2 ounces of cream. Not only that you like sugar added. So you add two teaspoons of sugar and proceed to stir vigorously, spilling a good ounce of coffee. Then you complain to me that your 8-oz cup of coffee contains only 7 ounces of coffee, cream, and sugar. Get the picture? You are trying to put more than 10 ounces of "coffee" into an 8-oz cup.

Can't Put Movies On The iPod..........THEN WHAT'S THE POINT OF VIDEO IPOD

I've tried everything to get movies on my iPod. I bought $30 QT PRO because I was told that that has the only format that can import movies on the iPod. After I bought it I tried to use it but I get an error -43 messege. Next I was told to then download videora so I did and when I converted it into an iPod file but I couldn't find out how to get it into iTunes. Now I am being told videora doesn't work. PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO GET MOVIES ON MY IPOD OR HOW TO GET MY MOVIE TO SHOW UP ON ITUNES.

For $30 I bought a program called DVD to Ipod Converter from cucusoft.com and it works perfect. I have now converted 18 dvd's since Thursday and each are perfect. I have my files set up when I double click they automatically open with iTunes then I hook up my iPod (its set to manual) and I just drag the file over the top of the name of my iPod and it loads to the ipod.
They have a free trial version you can try first but it puts a watermark on the file such as "Trial Version" but you can at least see how it works without spending money first. There is a Suite Version to do different types of files but I only needed the DVD converter.

Can i talk to someone about putting movies onto my iPod?

i can talk here or an aim but i need help putting my movies onto my ipod
any help is apprechiated
thanks

okay here it is.
1.go to google, search for videora, find the videora converter (thats free) DOWNLOAD IT
2. start up the videora converter and click transcode new video, find the video in your files from ares/limewire or whereever and click it.
3. see the thing beside it that says "New transcoding", once you've clicked a file from #2 press START (do not fiddle with the settings they make it so that your ipod reads the information)
4. it will take minutes to hours depending on how big the file is.
5. once it is CONVERTED (be patient) : go to itunes click file at the top -> go to add file to library .
6. okay your file is in a folder that looks something like this: C:\Program Files\VideoraiPodConverter\Videos . therefore you need to find wherever you uploaded your program (videora) and find the file
labelled "videoraipodconverter" (unless you changed it)
7. once you find this file (in program files most likely) click on "videos" and your video should be there, uploaded and converted
8. there, you're done and it should play both sound and video on your ipod
okay, so enough topic dicussions about this.
please leave comments where i am too vague or it doesn't work and happy holidays
PS: if you're downloading from a CD or DVD you have to save it in a file before you can convert it. Try saving it in "my music"
THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE FOR windows XP not MAC
thanks,
KM

Getting a general error message in FCE when putting .mov file onto timeline

Putting a .mov film onto the timeline above a moving image so we see the mov file playing in a reduced size in the background of whats going on ( a window). Don't know why this is happening but any advice would be appreciated!
We are really stuck so any help would be so appreciated!
thanks.

Its converted to an mpeg4 file but i think it may be the fact it is running at 30fps as oppose to the rest of the project which is 25fps. When I try to put it on the timeline it gives me the general error and then the footage which was on below it on timeline no longer exists. Very strange.

Transfering MOV files to ipod

I have a movie that I made myself and exported it as a .MOV file. I've imported it into iTunes. But when I click and drag it to my iPod, it says it "cannot be played on this iPod"
So can anyone offer a suggestion?

Just for safe measures I'd convert it to mp4. Also, tell iTunes to automatically update all vids and such. So convert the file before moving it to iTunes then import the file to the library of iTunes. Connect iPod, Automatically update.
Also, can you give any more details as to how you went about making this video, like software and your methods.

Can i put movies from my ipod onto my itunes?

Playing .mov files on ipod mini (second generation)

Can anyone tell me if quick time (.mov) files will still play audio only on my ipod mini, or do i need to convert them to a different file type? If i do need to convert, how do I do that?

The mini does not support movie playback via the normal Apple firmware and software.
You can search for Linux and it may allow B&W movies to be played on the mini. However, this is not supported by Apple and could be voiding your warranty.

Putting personal files on ipod

i'm contemplating buying ipod 80gb. everything about it matches what i need. but one thing. i've asked around. i dont know if ipod allows you to put content on it that you own but didnt get through itunes. for example free or purchased downloaded audio and video files already on your computer. i have a lot of songs and videos on my computer already. if i get an ipod will i be able to put these files on there? (of course converting format if needbe)
thank you!

thanks for the speedy reply!
i've checked what file types are supported and how to convert other types to work with the ipod. my question is more about what is allowed.
for example i've read about protected content not being playable on the ipod. but i'm guessing that wouldnt include free downloaded files from elsewhere than itunes..?
i mean the files i already have downloaded- audio and video. if they are free and legal, can they be played on ipod?

Put .mov file from slideshow on DVD

Hello -
This may be the most obvious question but I don't way to burn a playable DVD - I just want to move the Quicktime .mov file onto a writeable DVD that my friend can put in her computer and then pull the files off of it. It has to be on a DVD b/c the files is nearly 900 MB. But, when I put it in, it either wants me to use iDVD or I can't see the disc at all.
Again, not trying to burn a playable DVD - just want to get her the DVD file without going over the Internet as it will take forever.
Thanks!
Alexa

Hi TD - Wanted to be sure to close the loop here!
I think the issue was that I already had iDVD open and wasn't getting the message that you described. I saved the project (and burned as a disc image in case I wanted to make it a playable DVD in the future) and closed iDVD. Returned to my original mission of just wanting to put the .mov file on a DVD as a file. Ejected the DVD, and then reinserted the DVD and voila!... got the message you described and could open it in the Finder.
So, I appreciate the tip - I knew what I was looking for from your reply. Thanks!
Alexa
