Quicktime Movies To iTunes/iPod

Well, I'm wanting to put movies on my iTunes, and I used to be able to, when I had iTunes 6, but now it doesnt seem to let me, I have handbrake and iSquint and i even try sharing them from iMovie and Quicktime but it doesnt add them to my movies on iTunes. Any help would be great. Thanks.

Highlight the movie file(s) and in the iTunes Advanced menu choose Convert selection for iPod and see if that works. As long as they're in the MPEG-4 format it should work.

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.

Import Quicktime Movies to iTunes - Lion

I just downloaded some tutorials which are in Quicktime format. I want to load them onto my iPad and iPhone to watch while I am on the go. Historically I have had no trouble importing Quicktime files into iTunes through either File>Import or the drag and drop method.
I have tried to add my recently downloaded files to iTunes using both methods and nothing happens.
I am running Lion 10.7.1 and iTunes 10.4.1.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

Hi,
I have more or less the same issue. I'm running the 10.4.1 iTunes version on my Mid-2010 17" MBP with Lion installed. So all this stuff is pretty up to date.
Before installing Lion on this machine, I imported a lot of .mov videos/movies into the previous version of iTunes without any problem.
Now I want to import into iTunes some .avi movies from my collection. Those .avi movies have subtitles, but the conversion to .mov is easy through QuickTime 7. (You just have to have your .avi and .srt files into the same folder and with the same name, you chose to "Save as", and the job is done within seconds. You get a "muxed" .mov file with integrated subtitles. Cool.)
The problems begin when I want to import that movie into the iTunes Library, 'cause it's absolutely now way to succeed. Opening the new .mov file through iTunes doesn't work. Same result wishing to go through the "Add to Library" command in iTunes, simply trying to drag-n-drop it into the main iTunes window or even dropping the movie's folder into the Library under the path "users/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Movies".
The nasty thing is that this move looks working fine when the movie is converted through the iSkysoft Video Coverter, but there are some problems: the present version of this app doesn't accept subtitles and the conversion takes far more time then the one through QT7.
But the nastiest thing is that I tried to add the same movie to a 10.1 iTunes version Library, on someone else's Late-2008 15" MBP running Snow Leopard and it just worked perfectly fine !
So, could anyone explain me what's wrong here: the OS ? the iTunes version ?
Thanks so much for any help.

Help with converting WMV files to quicktime movies for video ipod.

Is there a way to convert my movies that play with the windows media player to a movie file that Quicktime Pro can use to export to my video ipod?
I am running windows xp, can anyone help??

File size is dicated by the bitrate of the file. From my review of (thousands) of WMV files there appears to be some compression in the WMV format that is not reapplied when save as to a MOV container is performed. You can see in get info the WMV file say 100MB has maybe 125-150MB of data when it is fully loaded in Quicktime.
Thus save as does not apply the WMV compression the same as native WMV is all I can assume and the new QT file (MOV container) is bigger than the source file is.
Exporting to any new QT format (say H264) is going to make a file that is dependent on the new QT bitrate you select but if it is higher than the bitrate shown in the Get Info Inspector box when the original WMV has been opened it will be bigger without a doubt. So if you have a 3Mb/sec WMV file that you export to 700 kb/sec for iPod basic it should be 1/4 of the size. Use 5Mb/sec fo Apple TV it should be 2/3 larger.
I rarely use QT Pro to export and when I do I don't use default settings. I prefer MPEG Streamclip which offers easier control of variables, batch file processing, deinterlacing and other things and it is free.

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.

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
Brian

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.

QUICKTIME MOVIE PROBS

Dear All,
I'm trying to put a couple of Quicktime Movies on my iPod but it's not happy.
I have applied the 'convert file for iPod' instruction in the memory but it just says my iPod isn't able to play the movie.
It's a 30GB one that's a year old, so it can play movies.
I have done this before and the only difference I can think of is that before the Movies were originally exported from iMovie, this time They're exported from Final Cut Pro (But should still be self contained) and hence have a different icon.
They drag and copy into iTunes OK, but not into the iPod.
Many thanks,
Dan

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.

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.

Itunes / ipod/ movies

I just got a ipod, (yes, i updated my software 3.5 weeks ago) , so my ipod set up went ok. Then I made a photo imovie then did share to ipod , it did the compressing opened itunes, then nothing.
I after many hrs called apple , well a first for me, no luck and they didnt know why. But I decided to see if even the movie sync even works in itunes. So I broke down and bought a movie from itunes, it down loaded fine. So in my ipod i set it up to sync and add the movie, nope, I keep getting the unknown -50 error code.
Ive been a faithful apple user since1983, and Im very disappointed, the only help they gave me was to redo the update, he admitted there were a few probelms from the first update I did in july. I didnt update quicktime, because it said something about losing the pro version and possibly havig to buy quicktime .
Can someone help me PLEASE.
This has been 24 hrs of total stress.
Thankyou
Pamela

Hi Marty J. I tried what you said, but all my iTunes Movies still form a longlist at the beginning of Front Row's Movie selection.
Incidentally, unless I misunderstood you, you can't "change" the "Show" box to anything. All I could do was to type "iPod Movies" into the "Show" box. Afterwards, FR shows no category called "iPod Movies" and all of my iPod movies still create a long list before I finally reach the movies of my "Movie" folder (i.e., Users>username>Movies). I want the contents of the Users>username>Movies folder to show up at the top of the list in Front Row. I don't want to have to scroll all the way thru 60+ iPod movies before I get to this folder's contents. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

Movies in itunes but not playing on IPOD

Movies are in itunes and in the proper format. Movies play great using itunes. Movies are transferred to IPOD, but when I go to play them using the ipod, the screen freezes and the movies do not play. When I play the movies from the IPOD using the computer; everything is great. I must be doing something wrong. Please help.

I'm having the same problem with TV Shows. I've bought a standard definition season like I always have, but when I sync it to my ipod, the screen stays black and the show won't play. Any help anyone can give is welcome!

HT204370 I registered a digital copy on disneymoviesanywhere and connected with my itunes account but can't find the movies on my itune account. Just want to download the movie onto my ipod touch.

Hey cptniemo,
Thanks for the question. Connecting your iTunes Store and Disney Movies Anywhere accounts should sync all of your eligible Disney, Pixar, and Marvel movies between both services. After connecting your accounts, you can check your purchased history in the iTunes Store:
Download past purchases

Added iPod movie to iTunes - can't find it in the library

I converted a movie for my new iPod, and it seems that the only way to add movies to the iPod is to add them to the iTunes library.
Well, I did that, and the weirdest thing happened. I could add the movie to iTunes, but I couldn't add it to the library, the "plus"-sign didn't show there, but I could add it to one of the playlists. It also got transferred to the iPod, where I can watch it.
Since this was only a short test-clip, I wanted to remove it afterwards. Oops! it was in the library, and iTunes wouldn't even find it with the search-feature. So I re-synced the iPod with iTunes, to see if it was still there....and it was, but where? It was on my iPod, but I still couldn't find it on iTunes.
A search on spotlight revealed it: in the "Recently Added" playlist, but not in the library. Why is that?
After that I tried to delete it, but I couldn't delete it from the playlist. I had to use Spotlight again, and delete it from the finder.
Has anybody an explanation for all this? For now, I'm not adding anymore movies to the iPod, scared to lose some content with this unexpected behavior.

iTunes sorts all of your content into different Libraries depending on how it has been classified, e.g. Movies you download from the iTunes Store go in the Movies Library, Music and Music Videos go in the Music Library, and TV Shows go in the TV Shows Library. In Preference under the tab General there should be some options to show or hide certain Libraries. Make sure that the Movies box is checked and it should be fine.
If that doesn't work, or if it does, please come back and let us know.

How can I move movies from my computer to my iPad? They will play in quicktime but not iTunes

How can I move movies from my computer to my iPad? They will play with quicktime but not iTunes so I can't sync them

Th AVPlayerHD works well for playing other video types. You can transfer the videos via USB in the app tab in iTunes on your computer. When you open that tab when you have you iPad connected to the computer scroll down and you will see apps listed on the left and a blank on the right. Click on the app and then click on the add button under the blank window on the right. Then navigate to the video you want to play and it will transfer it to the iPad. I have about 14 movies on mine using AVPlayerHD. works very well. Also have VLC player (before it was yanked from the app store). Works about the same.
You can also get the app Air Video and stream the video to from your computer to the iPad, and even have Theo ad connected to the tv to watch on there. I do that all the time with my iPhone. Saves time with not having to sync movies all the time.
