Putting video on ipod from compressed folder?

you'll need to get a decompression software.
and yeah might be file type. like if it's wav format.
I know for macs there is like stuffit expander.

Unable to drag and drop videos or music from PC folder to ITunes. Any ideas why?

Why can I not drag and drop videos or music from PC folder to ITunes?

I can only guess since you provide no details, but my guess is that these are either not industry-standard MPEG-4 videos but rather one of the offshoots that use the same file extension, or they're a resolution, frame rate or aspect ratio that iTunes can't accept. Can the videos and tracks be played in QuickTime Player? If so, open the Movie Inspector, find the Format information, and post that here along with your versions of Windows and iTunes. That might help people figure out what might be going wrong.

Is the quality better by compressing video to ipod from compressor??

Hi,
I have some video (miniDV 720x480) that I would like to put on an ipod.
When I tried to go from Final Cut> Export> Using Compressor> and using -H.264 for iPod video and iPhone 640x480- it took a long time. After 8 hours I had to stop it.
When I go from Final Cut> Export> Using QuickTime Conversion to iPod it compressed it in a couple of minutes.
Is there a big quality difference between Quicktime to ipod or Compressor to ipod?
Thanks for helping.

There can be.
If you're working with a pristine source (with crisp text and other high-contrast edges), then you'll get the best quality from Compressor, though you'll have to tweak the settings to turn Frame Controls on.
That said, unlike going out to MPEG-2, there is no benefit to exporting directly from the timeline in FCP to Compressor if you're exporting for iPods/iPhone/tv. Instead render in FCP, export a reference movie, drop that into Compressor, then turn Frame Controls to On in the preset. However, for iPod/iPhone this will still take a long time because of frame controls. Plus multi-pass is true to it's name - as many as 7-8 passes.
But, like I said, this is relevant if you're working with a clean source.

Go into your ipod preferences and check the box that will automaticly add the videos to your itunes video library. This is, if you are transferring a home video or a movie. After the movie has been saved to your libraryI, just drag your selection to the ipod icon. If you are buying a video off of itunes, it should save to your itunes library anyway. Hope this helps.

How to Put videos in ipod nano 5th gen

Can anyone help me how to put video here i what do i need to insltall or what should i do????its my first time having ipod so dont know what to do i can sync music but i cant sync videos can anyone help me...

The nano can be used as a flash drive by going to My Computer then opening the ipod.Once in you will find a file called DCIM. Inside that file you should find a file called 000APPLE that is where video is stored onto your nano. You can just drag and drop it onto your computer. And if you computers players are up to date you should just be able to play them like normal on your computer then. Other wise you have to find out what software on your computer works with the sync option in itunes. I do not know what PC software that is because I have only pulled video off my nano and dont need to sync.

Does anyone know how to put videos on ipod nano

I don't know who told you that you could put videos on your nano but I wouldn't rely on them for any stock tips either.
Nanos don't support video.

Samba 4: users unable to move files from compressed folder to Samba share

I have recently upgraded Samba 3.6.x from Centos 6.6 to Samba 4.1.12 on Centos 7.The shares were migrated in place. I reset permissions and Windows ACLs according to the Samba 4 Wiki.
When a user opens a compressed folder (a.k.a. Zip file) on Windows 7, then tries to copy the files into a shared folder on the Samba 4 server using drag & drop, only one to four files is actually copied, and the copy process silently fails. If the user waits about 2 minutes, then they can move all of the files without issues. Also, if the user is able to copy all files, when they try to delete the newly created folder they get an error: Thumbs.db cannot be deleted because it is open in Windows Explorer.
So, the root of the cause seems to be Windows Explorer locking files for too long. But I don't understand this enough to fix it.

"admiz" should be the account name anyway.

Help with putting videos on Ipod

Hey all. I'm a little new to this. I'm having trouble putting videos on my Ipod. When I try to put them in i get a message saying "Some of the songs in the Itunes music libary, including the song "...", were not copied to the IPod because they cannot be played on this IPod.
Maybe they're the wrong file type? It does this for every video I have. How can I solve this problem? Thanks for your help!

you need to convert the videos either to .mov or .mp4. either will be compatible for the ipod. you need to use 3rd party software not supported by apple.windows users have had trouble or success using this software.

Can't put videos on ipod

i have bought a ipod video 30gb. but when i try to copy any videos into my ipod. there is a message that is doesn't works. at this site they say that i have to convert my video with iTunes. and when i do this, i can copy the video into my ipod, but there is no sound. what is wrong?
thank you

Quicktime, Quicktime Pro and iTunes 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).

Is it possible to put videos on ipod then delete from itunes???

I really like the videos but im worried about the mem space on my comp....is it possible to put the videos on ur ipod, delete them in itunes and ur comp, but have them stay on ur ipod?? i allso would like them to stay there even when i go back to update...because with songs if i delete them from my itunes list they delete from my ipod when i update..

You have to change your ipod/itunes settings. When you ipod is connected click the ipod button on he bottom right corner of itunes. Look through the settings and make sure you have checked "manually update" your ipod. If you do this then when you connect your ipod back to your computer you can choose when goes on and off and nothing will be automatically be deleted.
Hope this Helps!

The hardest task to date. putting videos on Ipod.

30 gig Video Ipod. I have tried all weekend to put my downloaded scrubs episodes on to my new Ipod. No luck.
I tried ffmpeg first, then movie to go, then QT7, then pqdvd, I can't use handbrake because I downloaded these from bittorrent.
Using QT7 I could add to itunes library and watch and listen to the show, but I couldn't get the show on to the ipod.
I finally tried another exporting idea mentioned in this discussion forum, however I can not see or here anything. What an I doing wrong? see a whote screen and have no audio, but I can get the file on to the Ipod. Earlier, again, I could see the show and hear it in Itunes but could not get the file onto ipod.
Some on please help. Please.
thanks.

There is more than one AVI format out there. If you have QT Pro and the conversion is not working, then you will likely need either the DivX or 3ivX component for QT. Unfortunately, DivX has yet to get its v5 component to work with QT 7 and v6 for Mac has yet to be released. (Not sure about the status of 3ivX.) Of course, you can always look for a third party standalone application or use QT 6 (if available on another computer) with older component to perform the conversion using manual settings with MPEG4 preset. (Don't forget to turn off streaming settings.)
