Quicktime movies in iPod

I'm trying to put quicktime movies onto my iPod, so what I do is drag (or copy/paste) a quicktime file from my computer into the iTunes 'Movies' director, then right click on it and select "convert for iPod." However, when I then update my iPod, there video doesn't get put onto it. How can I solve this and start putting videos on my iPod?

Don't use iTunes to convert the movie. I am currently using appolo software to get video and dvd movies onto my iPod. To get movies off of a dvd to an iPod I use appolo dvd to iPod. I'll e-mail the program with instuctions to you. Just need your e-mail. this is 100% virus free and spyware free. I won'ttry to infect your computer or stal your info. I'm just tring to help anyone.
My email is [email protected] for more info

  • Quicktime Movies on iPod?

    is there a way to watch quicktime movies on the iPod (movies ive taken from my digital camera from ski trips, etc) and if so, how? I have the newest gen iPod nano.
    Many thanks

    is there a way to watch quicktime movies on the iPod (movies ive taken from my digital camera from ski trips, etc) and if so, how?
    Yes. The question of how, however, depends on the compression format used by your digital camera and what software you have available. Most compression formats, if that can be played by the QT player and are "conversion" compatible, can be converted by iTunes. Simply import the file to iTunes, highlight the imported file, and use the "Convert Selection for iPod/iPhone" Advanced menu option to create an iPod compatible file. There are some exceptions however. If you have a Sony digital camera using MPEG VX (MPEG-1), for instance, you audio will be lost using this work flow. Instead try using either iSquint or MPEG Streamclip. Both are free conversion applications that can be downloaded from the Internet. QT Pro also has an iPod export option and iMovie and GarageBand can also access an iPod export option if you have iLife installed. Again, these QT applications, like iTunes, cannot export "muxed" formats and retain audio.

  • Convert existing QuickTime movies to iPod format

    Is there a way to convert an existing QuickTime movie (480 x 360) into an iPod compatible format (320 X 240)? Can I use QuickTime Pro to do this?
    Thanks

    Is there a way to convert an existing QuickTime movie (480 x 360) into an iPod compatible format (320 X 240)? Can I use QuickTime Pro to do this?
    Yes and yes. However, be advised that there are potential problems in different work flows.
    If this is a 4:3 aspect ratio 480 x 360 H.264/AAC source file, then simply use the QT Pro "Show Movie Properties" option to set the video display to 320 x 240 (or set width to 320 while "Preserve Aspect Ratio" option is set) and then export the file using the "Movie to iPod" option. This will create an H.264/AAC stereo 320 x 240 file with an average combined data rate in the 800-850 kbps range. On the other hand, if the source file is an MPEG-4/AAC with an aspect ratio other than 4:3, then you must manually set the width to 320 and the height to the correct aspect ratio with the "Preserve Aspect Ratio" option turned off. (Seems that the new LC profile does not take the 480 iPod MPEG-4 "special case" display capability into account during conversions.)
    If the LC profile is not required, simply use the QT Pro "Movie to MPEG-4" export option and set the target display as required for rendering at the correct aspect ratio for the iPod in the baseline profile. This work flow is preferred where limited data rates, mono audio, or other custom settings are desired.

  • Quicktime movies to iPod

    Ok lets see if we can go three for three......
    my Nikon Digital Camera takes mini movies (no sound) in .MOV format. Can Itunes and my %G reconize this for playing in my iPod?

    You need to first get the videos on your computer.
    Once they are on your computer, open iTunes and go to file-->add file to library. Find the movie and add it to your library.
    Once the video is in iTunes, right click it in iTunes and go to convert selection for iPod.
    See this (step 5) for info on how to tell the difference between the two videos...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302892
    Play the converted video. Make sure it is has sound. If the converted video works fine, you can remove the original video from iTunes. iTunes will ask you if you want to keep the file or move the file to the recycle bin. Click Keep File, just in case you ever need it again.
    If the original video from your camera won't import into iTunes (make sure it is on your computer's HD first), or the converted video has no sound, you may want to convert the video using a program like this, and add the converted video into your iTunes library...

  • How to IMPORT QUICKTIME movies into ipod?

    I've created a 2:00 video using fcp and exported it using Compressor as 'video for ipod'. the file is
    10 mb.....
    I can't get my ipod (60g color) to recognize the file either by 'importing' it or 'adding to library'...
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Mark

    Ya everything has to go into iTunes first then it can go to the iPod. Apple has made it so iTunes is the portal and there normally isn't anyway to go straight from computer to iPod, at least not for things to be played ON the iPod.

  • Unable to Sync Quicktime Movie Clips with IPOD

    I am a new ipod user having difficulty syncing Quicktime movie clips to IPOD.
    Clips are saved as .mov files and Itunes will play.
    However I cannot get them to sync woth IPOD.
    Any ideas - Do I need to convert to annother format?

    First you need to import your movies into iTunes. Do this by opening iTunes <File> <Import> <Movies> then choose the movie you want to put on your iPod. Make sure the movie has .mov at the end otherwise it won't be set up the way it's supposed to be.
    Once the movie is imported into iTunes right click on it so a pull down menu appears. Click on <Convert Selection for iPod/iPhone>. It should begin converting it on its own and when it's done you'll hear the typical sound that happens after importing a cd, telling you the operation is complete.
    After it's converted, you will have 2 identical movies in your menu. If you <Get Info> on each, you should be able to see which is newest version; that is the movie you are going to want to sync.
    Then plug your iPod in to iTunes, go to the movie tab in iPod summary and check off the converted movies you want to sync to your iPod. Press <Sync> and that should add your movies to your iPod.
    Hope this helps.

  • QuickTime Movie Files Won't Convert For iPod using iTunes and QuickTime Pro

    I've got a ton, and I mean a ton of QuickTime movie files of music videos that I want to convert to use on the iPod. I tried using "Convert Selection For iPod" in the Advanced Menu on iTunes, but got the following message trying convert a QuickTime file of U2's Beautiful Day:
    ""Beautiful Day" could not be converted because this file does not allow for saving or conversion."
    I purchased QuickTime Pro hoping that the features on Pro would convert the file. When I opened the same file to convert using QuickTime Pro, "Export" under the file menu was grayed out so I couldn't select it.
    You'd think that an APPLE QuickTime Movie file that can be played on APPLE'S iTunes and APPLE'S QuickTime Player would be able to be converted to be used in APPLE'S iPod player. (Anybody notice how APPLE is capitalized to point out that the the hardware, software and file formats are ALL Apple?)
    Instead I wasted money buying QuickTime Pro when it won't do what I specifically bought it for. Now I have all these QuickTime files which won't play on the iPod.
    Can anybody provide some help or assistance on how to accomplish what I'm trying to accomplish???

    If the file doesn't allow saving or conversions then it is protected by DRM (Fairplay).
    Nothing can help QuickTime Pro convert protected files.

  • Use QuickTime Player to convert movies to iPod video format......

    I don't know if this has been posted but, thought everyone might find it useful.
    You can convert quicktime movies to readable ipod video format without having to purchase Quicktime Pro. Thats right, just the Quicktime player.
    Now, I know that you can use Handbrake along with other converter programs for free. but just in case you want to use Quicktime Player here is a link that will show you how via applescript or automator.
    http://www.cs.brandeis.edu/~ari/scripts/Quicktime2iTunesVideo.html

    Here's a step-by-step of ONE of the ways (I have a Mac) you can convert your videos (mpgs) to mpeg4 files to view on your 5th gen iPods so your videos will have sound:
    I use Mpeg streamclip found on www.squared5.com.
    (This is from memory and I don't have the program opened in front of me so apologies if this is not totally accurate!)
    Once you've installed Mpeg streamclip, and opened up a new window, drag the mpg file you want converted onto the new window. You should now see the first clip of your video in the window.
    Go to File and choose "Export to MPEG4". This will open up another window. Click the button "iPod" on the upper right corner of the window and that will automatically input the settings for an iPod. Then click the button "Export to MPEG4" at the lower right corner of the window. You have to choose where you want your file saved. I just place them in the Videos folder of my hard drive. Then this will start the conversion of your mpg.
    Depending on how large your file is, this may take awhile.
    When the conversion is complete, simply take your new file (now with ".mpeg4" as an extension) and DRAG it into your iTunes library. I don't remember if you have to actually drag it onto your iPod as well.
    As you drag the mpeg4 file onto your iPod, it should say "updating song" at the top of you iTunes window, then you know it worked.
    So now you have a VIDEO on your iPod that plays SOUND!!
    Hope this was helpful.

  • Converting Movie to Ipod format thru Quicktime Pro

    I purchase the QuicktimePro Registration key for Windows(XP), to convert movies(mp4) format to Ipod(30gb).
    QuicktimePro DOES NOT convert mpeg-4 to Ipod format, m4v or mov? I know Quicktime pro is only a few dollars, but I spent for something that I did not enjoy. A very useless feature.
    Please correct me if I'm wrong. thank you.

    Hello Sujay, are you a Quicktime Tech support? sorry it was too late when I found out that I posted my issue in the wrong Forum, this is my first time, I apologize.
    Sorry too, that I did not explain in full detail. Yes, I followed the xact instruction in the manual, followed one of the QT-Tech Support, he even gave me a supporting/reading materials related to my inquiry, I have 2 co-workers behind my shoulders who tried to help but no luck.
    My OS is XP, Quicktime plays all my movies(mp4)format without a problem, but when it comes to exporting, (Movie to iPod 320X240)the exported movie is successful but still in mp4 format, instead of m4v I believe.
    Did you have a successful conversion? Can you tell me where my missing piece is, please? Thank you with your full attention.

  • Bringing Quicktime movies or iphoto slideshows into ipod video

    Hi, Just got a new 60gb ipod w/ video. Can I bring quicktime movies I have made by exporting slideshows in iphoto into the ipod? When I try, the movies are grayed out and not an option.

  • Edit a quicktime movie in ilife?

    is there any way of cutting down a quicktime movie i downloaded from limewire in size.
    it is 703mb but i would like it a bit less in size so i can burn it onto a cdr, i have not got a dvd burner?
    can you do this in i-life,like i-movie or something?
    hope you can help.
    thanks

    I don't think so.
    If the movie is going to be played on a computer (only), you could use QuickTime Pro (29$) or MPEG Streamclip (free) to convert it to a format such as h.264, which will preserve the quality of your movie while reducing the file size a bit. The CD will be playable on any computer capable of running QuickTime 7, but not in a DVD player.
    That it's only good if the original movie is encoded in a format such as MPEG 1 or 2, Motion JPEG or similar. If the file is already a DivX file (which is likely given its provenance), it is probable that the h.264 file will take more disk space. In this case, it may be more difficult to compress the movie more than it already is, and I have no idea how to do it. (BTW if your file is in an .avi contender, it is likely that it is a DivX or a variant)
    Note that if it's a DivX, even if you could burn the entire movie to a DVD, you'd need a DivX-capable DVD player (or a computer) for playback.

  • Converting Movie for iPod

    So, I have an .MPG file that i want to work on an ipod... but when i do the whole Advanced > Convert Selection for iPod thing which turns it in to an .MP4 file... the sound of the movie goes away.
    Is there a way to fix it so it doesnt... or is there another MPG > MP4 editor out there?

    If you need help first you'll need to explain a few more things. What version of QuickTime do you have installed? QuickTime 7.0.3 (which adds export to iPod feature) or QuickTime 7.0.4?
    I've heard some people had problems with upgrading to QuickTime 7.0.4 - namely they lose their Pro functionality. Also what version of Mac OS X are you running is it Panther (10.3.9) or 10.4 Tiger? How old is your Mac? Is it one of the Intel based Macs released at MacWorld '06 or an older PowerPC based one?
    Also what version of iTunes are you running? (This is important) iTunes 6 and higher requires QT 7.0.3 for best video playback. Videos I convert to iPod format using QT's export movie to iPod feature end up in .m4v format (the format of videos sold in iTunes) but mine are unencrypted - no FairPlay DRM.
    I am converting my own videos to the iPod's format. .mp4 is another format the iPod can use. If you have ffmpegX (Google it) can convert video to iPod video or iPod TV format.
    My videos exported to iPod format in QT 7.0.3 were originally in .AVI format.
    Export to iPod (320X240) format = .m4v (MPEG 4 Video)
    They work just fine and I have a Mac PowerBook G4 from winter 2003 with OS X Panther (10.3.9) + QuickTime 7.0.3 + iTunes 6.0.2

  • Help with Annotations in iMovie to Quicktime Pro to iPod Workflow

    This is what I want my content to do:
    a) play in a webpage
    b) be downloadable and open automatically in iTunes/play on iPod
    c) additionally, I want the content to be annotated, so that when it is download and opened in iTunes automatically (rather than Quicktime) the Artist, Title and Album show up.
    I plan to create two different containers for my content - one for the webpage, one for iTunes. Currently, I am editing the content in iMovie.
    Having never done this before I am getting bogged down with the workflow variables.
    For example, this is my plan to make the webpage content:
    1) Export iMovie content into DV
    2) Open DV content into Quicktime
    3) Enter annotations and "Save As", creating a 1.5GB .MOV
    4) Export 1.5GB .MOV as "Movie to Quicktime Movie" with "Fast Start" and the appropriate comression levels.
    My workflow for the iPod is similar:
    1) Export iMovie content into DV
    2) Open DV content into Quicktime
    3) Enter annotations and "Save As", creating a 1.5GB .MOV
    4) Export 1.5GB .MOV as "Movie to iPod."
    Does this look right?

    Only the Export to iPod or Export to iPhone appends the .m4v file extension and those exports do not allow any adjustments to the compression settings.
    iTunes and the iPod (and the iPhone) can all import and open .mov files. As long as you don't exceed the specifications you won't have any trouble:
    Video formats supported: H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per sec., Low-Complexity version of the H.264 Baseline Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48 kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; H.264 video, up to 768 Kbps, 320 by 240 pixels, 30 frames per sec., Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48 kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per sec., Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48 kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats.
    My point was that you don't need to make more than one file for both the Web and the iPod.

  • Saving quicktime movies onto iphone

    i apologize if this has been discussed before...
    how do i get my quicktime movies (from digital cameras, movie clips, internet clips, etc...) onto my iphone? do they have to be in mpeg4 format first, then drag them over to 'movies' on itunes, which will then sync with the iphone?
    if that's the case, then how do i, for example, save an .avi file as an mpg4 file?
    it would be nice to be able to see your own movies (not just the ones you buy on itunes) on your iphone...
    thanks!

    Assuming your movies can open in Quicktime, go to the 'File' menu and choose 'Export.' In there, click on the drop-down menu next to 'Export' and choose 'Movie to iPod' and click on 'Save.'
    Once the movie is fully exported, drag the exported movie into iTunes. From there, you can sync it with your iPhone.

  • Upload quicktime movies over IP

    Question is, can you upload quicktime movies over IP. If so, What codec is the best for uploading and playing. Also, can Apple TV automatically play multiple playlists.
    The reason that I asked is that I want to replace our Digital Sign-age displays with quicktime movies that play all day.
    Thanks in advance.
    Gene

    You can only upload to AppleTV via iTunes (iTunes machine on same wireless/wired network rather than a USB connection like an iPod). You can't log into AppleTV using a web page and upload video to it remotely if that's what you want to do.
    Unfortunately it doesn't even do video/movie playlists let alone multiple ones.
