Putting non-purchased videos on ipod

I have a Mac, and i have videos already on my computer before i bought my ipod. Can i put videos which haven't been purchased from itunes onto my ipod??
Cheers

hey, i dont have a mac, i have windows. would iSquint still work on my computer? if it does, could you email it to me also, that would help a lot. i used quicktime pro, and when it goes to my ipod, video doesn't show up, only the sound. so it would be real helpful if you could give me iSquint. If anybody else has a program they could send to me that would work on Windows that would be great. my e mail is [email protected]
Thanks

How to put MVs or videos in Ipod

Hello everyone.
I just got a 30GB ipod video and im not sure how to use it. I put in all my songs and everything but I'm not so sure how to put music videos or videos into my ipod. I tried putting a music video i have but it doesnt show up so I'm pretty sure I'm doing something wrong. Can anyone help?

Proper formats are as follows:
H.264 video: up to 768 Kbps, 320 x 240, 30 frames per sec., Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats
MPEG-4 video: up to 2.5 mbps, 480 x 480, 30 frames per sec., Simple Profile with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats
There are several converters to get the files in the proper format-google for them.
Ripping commercial DVD's requires software that breaks the encryption. On windows-it is pay for software. Search for it, decide how much you want to spend.
On Mac, it is free. Handbrake rips/reencodes DVD's in one step. Mactheripper just breaks the encryption and rips it to your drive. Again, google for it.

Non-purchased music from iPod to transfer to iMac

Is there any software that's recommended to transfer non-purchased items from your iPod to your iMac?

* I see the music in my itunes, but there is no folder! How can that be??*
The files are hidden. Did you read the link I posted above? It contains instructions for both Mac and Windows to unhide the files.\
*Side note: My ipod says "do not disconnect" could that have something to do with it?*
It has nothing to do with it, your iPod is either enabled for disk use, set to manual update or both. Setting an iPod to manual update enables disk use by default. When using an iPod in enabled for disk use the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod

Is Putting I-Tune videos on Ipod Hard?

How difficult is this? I dont think Im gonna try right away with putting any of my own yet.Cause from reading most of these threads it sounds hard.Especialy for Windows computer.Am I gonna have to buy Quicktime Pro or something else to put on my ipod which I have not have yet but should get by the 26th.Are the videos from I-tunes already converted to be put on the Ipod? After I have had it awhile maybe then I will try one of my own.But not unitll I read enough about it.Im still a novice at all this stuff.Thank-You

It's not that difficult, and you don't have to get QT Pro at all. If you already have it, then you might want to use its "Video to iPod" functionality, but it looks like you don't have it already so ... there are a lot of 3rd-party apps that will make your vids iPod-compatible, most of them being free. Just have a look at Proper Converting Apps To Use For PC Users... ...

Putting Digital Camera Videos onto Ipod?

Is this possible? And if so how do I do it? I was told I'd need to convert them, but I haven't the slightest clue how.
I'm using a Mac with a 160 Gig iPod classic

If it's a digital camcorder you are talking about, it will be a little more difficult to do what you want to do. But if you're just talking about a digital camera which has a video recording function in it, it should be a lot easier.
First you have to check the file format (file name extension), i.e. is it .avi , .mpg , or anything else. Assuming you may not be able to see it right on the file name iteself (because sometimes the extensions are hidden from view). If you can't see the extension, just ctrl-click the file which you imported from your camera to your mac, click "Get Info", you can either read the extension under "Name & Extension", or just read the file format (kind) under "General" where it says what "kind" of a file it is.
As far as I know, most DC's record .avi videos. You could either use Quick Time Pro (which costs a little of your money, or if you have Pro applications like Logic or Final Cut Studio, it is free). Even if the file is not AVI, you can still use Quick Time Pro for the conversion, as long as it's not .wmv (which you will need to buy a plug-in), or anything extremely peculiar. Open the video file with QT Pro, and go to File>Export, then choose Movie to iPod. And there's your converted video file which you can import into iTunes. (I'm not sure if a regular Quick Time Player, which is free and should already be on your mac, has the Export function as well, because I have the Pro for a long time and forget what the regular version is like).
The good thing about QT Pro is that you can do some simple editing to your video, i.e. cut, copy and paste a specified portion of the video. And these functions are pretty useful on the most basic level.
If you don't want to spend money on Quick Time Pro, or if the file format is something that QT Pro can't convert or even open, here's what you can do. Let say the file extension is .xyz, you can use Google, or whatever search engine you use, and search for "convert .xyz to iPod" or something like that. There are bound to be a few free software, or free trials, that you can download. Try those.
There. That's about everything you need to know for converting videos into iPod formats.

Uploading non-iTunes videos to iPod

Hey all
ok so i've been uploading no itunes videos to my ipod no prob but when i go to GET INFO> OPTIONS> Video Kind of a paticular video and i set it to TV SHOW, when i upload to iPod i cant find it, but i change it MOVIE i can see and play the video. I just want to put my tv shows in the TV SHOWS subfolder on the ipod, anyone have any ideas how to make this work.
ie, Scrubs episode 504 want to put it under TV Shows option on ipod but wont go there have to keep video kind as MOVIE.
Thanks guys!!

Hey guys,
Stayed up most of the night figuring this one out...!
The new iTunes has added a bunch of tags to the new video mp4s. One of those tags designates the TV Show that the video pertains to. This is different from and in addition to the 'Artist' and 'Album' tags.
You can view this tag by arranging your video files in List format in iTunes and selecting 'TV Shows' at the top of the screen.
The stupid thing is, iTunes doesn't let you change these tags. Hopefully, the next version will fix that...
So, you'll have to download a program that lets you edit these tags. I used a program called AtomicParsley (for Windows XP). I think you can find it at http://atomicparsley.sourceforge.net. There are some others for OSX, I think. Do a good enough internet search and you'll find one.
AtomicParsley edits the tags by creating a whole new file (which can take a while depending on the size of the file), then overwriting the old one. iTunes takes a minute to recognise the changes. You can clue it in by right-clicking on the file.
You'll actually be able to edit tags for season and episode numbers, and those will carry through to the iPod when you update it.
Anyway, good luck.

Transferring non-purchased music from Ipod to ITunes Library

Can I transfer my music from my Ipod into my ITunes Library I just created on my new laptop? I've been successful at transferring the Purchased Music, but not the music I've downloaded from my CD's into my the ITunes library on my old computer.

Hi .. we do this all the time..if its downloaded music put your music into a folder.. then use the drop down "file" menu and import the folder...its really easy..but you also have to create a path for your music..this is done via "edit" drop down /preferences/advanced.. and tell it where your music folder is... other wise your music wont play... if you are using your own cd,s its even easier just put cd in.. tick selected songs.. and import cd

Purchased Video but Ipod not Syncing with it?

I purchased a music video and had no problem syncing it when I first purchased it. I have since bought a new laptop and when I try syncing my 60G Video iPod, it imports all of my previous videos with the exception of this one. I can see it in my iTunes list and view it there but can't get it on to the iPod.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Jeff

Weel, I finally discovered what the problem was. It seems to have occurred a mistake while syncing two computers with .mac. Apparently, instead of reinitializing all informations from one of them, they were simply erased and, while on one of the computers my calendars did appear (the one I was syncing the iPod, too), they were a sort of 'ghost' images. So I had to reinitialize again, and then tried to sync the iPod. Now the calendars are displayed correctly on both, and the sync preferences on iTunes are correct, too. Hope this can help somebody.

Save non Itunes videos to IPOD?

How can I save some videos, say from YOUTUBE.com to my IPOD (30gb)?

You must have the video saved to your hard drive first.
You then use a transcoding/converter to change the format of the video into one the iPod accepts.
One of these:
H.264 video: up to 768 Kbps, 320 x 240, 30 frames per sec., Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats
MPEG-4 video: up to 2.5 mbps, 480 x 480, 30 frames per sec., Simple Profile with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats

Importing non purchased music from iPod to iTunes.

We cannot access our original itunes so we have downloaded iTunes again on a new device. Only the music that we have purchased from iTunes is on there. When we connect our iPod the music is not accessible to sync all of the music together.

How to transfer non-purchased music from iPod Nano to new a computer?

The title pretty much explains my delimma. I had to buy a new laptop and am trying to move my music library from my Nano to the new computer. I've installed iTunes and can easily transfer my iTunes purchased music, trouble is a lot of my music has been downloaded from CDs.
Can anyone help a girl out?

Create a folder on your desktop. In iTunes select all the songs you want to transfer. Drag them from iTunes to the folder. Transfer the folder to the new computer. Select all the songs in the folder and drag them to the 'Music' section of iTunes.
