Recommended iPod Conversion Software?

What would you all recommend for iPod Conversion software. I have several .avi files that I want to convert to iPod. I've heard Cucusoft is a good one. There are several free programs out there, however they don't sync the audio and video together very well. I'm looking for a program that syncs the audio and video very well. I am willing to pay for the right program as well, but if a free one exists, that would work as well. I have tried MPEG Streamer, and it doesn't work for me. I have also tried Videora and it was one of the programs that didn't synch the audio and video together very well. Do you all think that Cucusoft is a good program and are they worth $40? If there is a better deal on a program that is just as good if not better, I'd really appreciate it. Thank you.

  • Recommendations on iPod transfer software?

    Like many people, I lost all my files when upgrading to the new version of iTunes. I've seen recommendations to use software such as Yamipod to restore the music libraries on my PC from my ipod. Can anyone recommend software they've actually tried? Before I risk wiping out my music from the iPod, I'd actually like to hear from someone who's tried and succeeded. Many thanks.

    I've used Yamipod on a Mac and a PC.
    I've also used CopyPod on a PC.
    On the occasions I've used them, I've transferred the songs back to the computer without losing a single one.

  • Video conversion software recommendations. MOV to MPG, WMV

    Can someone please recommend an inexpensive video conversion software package? I'm trying to convert a QTMOV to MPG or WMV for Windows users without QT installed. Any help appreciated. I'm a recent Windows convert.

    Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions. 
    Quicktime Pro ($30us) is an excellent value video tool which can handle editing, layers, transparency etc etc. It can export to a variety of formats (although not WMV for obvious reasons). I'd be tempted to wait a couple of months though as QT8 will probably be around soon and will require a new key to be bought.
    Also check out these applications on MacUpdate.

  • About:Conversion Softwares

    I would like us videomakers to discuss about the best video converter you use to kick your video from a codec/wrapper to another.
    The point of this is to have a small handful topic for people wondering about video converter - which, why, how much .. oh wait it's free? .
    The purpose is also to refine the reviews about the mentioned applications, and of couse discover new ones
    Here are the softwares I use often use:
    *Freebies :)*
    FFmpegX - Free, open source, although shareware. But, the good part of it, it will always works fully. It can converts to and from many types and wrapper, including FLV (Google Video's, Youtube's, etc.).
    It can be a little confusing sometimes, and it requires three componments you have to fetch (but hey, google's your friend right :)? )
    FFmpeg - mentioning the componments, here's FFmpeg, the command-line app that makes run the previous app. This one though require a command-line knowledge, but works a helluva faster (about 5 times, from someone's experiment).
    iMovie - Of course, iMovie can be useful to convert some videos. It uses Quicktime as base, so if you want to export using some Quicktime plug-ins, it will work. Cons is you have to import the movie in iMovie before exporting.
    JES Deinterlacer - Sorry to say I don't know much about it. All I know is that is uses Quicktime's processing too, but if you like JES Deinterlacer's interface better ...
    MPEG Streamclip - Ha this one too is nice Useful converter with many options, like trimming cutting or joinging movies. Can also directly convert from a Youtube or Google Video (or any internet Flash-based video in fact) by just typing the URL Address. Did I mention it has a big pack of format supported?
    mConverter - Has proved itself unsuccesfully working with me. Perhaps some will have a better chance?
    *Not free :*
    Compressor - Comes with the Final Cut Studio package. I heard it takes some times, but the time is extremely well traded for quality (by example if you de-interlace the video).
    Quicktime Pro - **** this is useful! To quickly convert a video, by example you need to send it to a PC friend who cannot play anything else than AVI, say, just open it up, export, smile. You're done. I'm happy with this one, as you can also add up plug-ins, which makes Quicktime export in virtually any format ever made.
    Special:
    Handbrake. The most useful DVD conversion software (DVD disc, and DVD folders, if you happen to have a dvd stored in folders in your computer). It uses ffmpeg at the base, and it does work extremely fast. It takes me about 45 mins to convert a 2h30 long movie to iPod high resolution format. (Mac Pro quad-core, 3GB RAM)
    That is all I know for now. And I'm sure there are even more solutions, so that is why I created this thread, to find them of course
    Behave good now everyone!

    You can't really recover data from your reformatted mass storage unless of course you have a recent backup which you can use to restore to the phone.
    With regards to applications, I would suggest you only reinstall what you use. I actually ake it a point to uninstall applications I don't use. There is no point tying up the phones already limited resources on unnecessary stuff. Tell us what you use and we could help you locate them.

  • HT5052 hi , i cant update mi ipod touch software, a soon as the download process in finished an error message appears

    Disabling the computer's security software during the download and update usually resolves a network timeout error.

  • I was halfway thru updating ipod touch software, got error 1602

    I was halfway thru updating ipod touch software, i walked away from computer and when i came back there was an error "1602" and a picture on my ipod (requesting to connect to itunes?) but WILL NOT WORK AT ALL!
    What's going on?  Seems like a lot of people are having similar problems all at the same time.

    From the article cited at the end of my post:
    Error 1602: Try the following steps to resolve this error:
    Ensure proper USB isolation troubleshooting has been performed, and test with a known-good cable.
    Follow the steps listed for Error 1604.
    This error may be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.
    Error 1603: If you receive this error and the iOS device is not automatically placed into recovery mode, it may be necessary to do so manually. Refer to iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to restore for steps on placing iPhone into forced recovery mode. Also, remove the IPSW and attempt to restore again. If you do not want to remove the IPSW in the original user, try restoring in a new administrator user.
    Error 1604: This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections, device not recognized properly, computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device). If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the USB 30-pin dock-connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.

  • IPod's Software v1.2 VS iTunes's Software v7.0.2.16

    Hello there!
    Today I risked my iPod for an update.
    A few weeks earlier, I saw, via internet, the presentation of the new Apple products (because of a new iTunes update). This was how all started...
    Like last year, when I was thinking about having an iPod, was delighted about all the new stuff that Apple was about to sell.
    This time I was hoping to see THE ULTIMATE iPod that would eventualy eclipse my 30GB, but instead, the things that I saw were more about Software than Hardware (yes, I know about the new releases but let's keep it that way!).
    Then it came the part about iTunes. The new aestetical, added to a simplier way to organize music and data, new features like artwork display and software update make it a real winner!
    After that astonishing presentation, I was, like another millions, trying to download and installing the new iTunes!
    Everything worked great until I was prompted about updating the new software. Like another millions, I said "YES" inthusiastically, hoping to see the new interfaces that appeard in the videoclip.
    Instead, I saw and iPod that wasn't mine, and one that hadn't the features I was dreaming about: it would freeze after one scrool and it would reveal a "disfigurated" interface.
    After the initial shock, I thought about the days converting my CDs, putting lyrics, putting artwork images and equalizing the right genre of music. I was, before this event, a happy and proud iPod user!
    I started to think about my iPod, almost 25GB of music and a few photos. Immediatly I uninstalled iTunes and installed the previous version, thinking that was part of the problem resolved "I may have an corrupted iPod, but I think I can hear music until a new update".
    Wrong! the music wasn't readable! So, in a blink of an eye, I restored my iPod with the version 1.1.1 software. ALL LOST!
    After a period of sadness/rage, I installed the new iTunes denieying, of course, the new iPod software realease.
    A few days back, thinking that Apple had resolved the iPod sotfware issue, I went scouting the forum's thoughts, discovering something about a 1.4 version of iPod software. At Last!
    Today, I tried again (for the 4th or fifth time) to update the software to the 1.2. Waited for the 1.4 software announcement that would change everything, but nothing ocurred.
    Back again to the solid 1.1.1 software.
    The worst thing is that I was thinking in an iPod Nano for a gift, but due cirunstances, am I going to risk it??
    PLEASE PUT THE iPOD'S SOFTWARE UPDATES AVAILABLE ON THE SITE, IN A VISIBLE POSITION. DON'T DISGUISE THE MISTAKES ON iTUNES AND IN APPLE UPDATE. THAT'S A BAD POLICY. BE HUMBLE ABOUT YOUR MISTAKES AS WE ALL DO.
    Best wishes to you all!
    Now using iPod's firmware 1.1.1, (iPodSetup v8.2.160.0 dated 30-04-2006), and using iTunes v7.0.2.16 (dated 02-11-2006).
    For the time, it works..

    This is my problem as well. I lost 7 days of music due to updating the Itunes software then following the instruction to restore the Ipod. After this, I lost my music and my Ipod keeps needing to be restored with no progress. My Itunes will not do anything with with my Ipod now. WHAT DO I DO TO FIX THIS PROBLEM???

    I tried to update my ipod touch software by syncing with itunes and it put the ipod into "recovery mode".  Seems like the only option is to restore?  Is there a way to get it out of recovery mode?

    No.
    Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
    To minimise loss... Connect to iTunes on the computer you Usually Sync with and Restore from the most recent Backup...

    I get a message "The Itunes server could not be contacted, check your internet connection" when trying to check for Ipod Nano software updates. I have a 1st generation Nano and haven't updated the software for a while. My internet connection is working. Was thre a change in the internet address for NANO software updates? Do I have to reconfigure something in Itunes to point to the correct address?

    What version of iTunes are you using?  The latest is 10.6.3. In iTunes, choose Help -> About iTunes to check the version number. If it's lower than 10.6.3, download the latest version from here.

  • I updated my iPod/iTunes software and now I can't get it to shuffle songs in a playlist; it either shuffles albums in a playlist or songs on the whole iPod

    I updated my iPod/iTunes software and now I can't get it to shuffle songs in a playlist; it either shuffles albums in a playlist or songs on the whole iPod, neither of which is what I want to do.  How do I get it to shuffle songs in just one playlist?

    The shuffle setting in the main menu will shuffle through the entire library as you have found out.
    You need to go to settings>shuffle this will toggle through off/song/album. Once you have set this it will stay the same until you change the setting.
    Now when you start playing a song in a playlist the iPod will shuffle through that playlist (or if you select your song through artist then it will shuffle through all the songs for that artist etc)

  • Itunes on my Macbook (circa 2008) won't recognize newest ipod touch softwar

    I have a macbook from April of 2008 which has the latest version of itunes 10.10.01. I have apps that i've purchased from the itunes store (including a $20 german-english translator that i DESPERATELY need for class). I recently restored my ipod to factory settings because I was experiencing issues with it charging properly.
    Now i've had the german app for over a year before the restore and it worked just fine. But now my computer and itunes keeps telling me that the app needs the latest version of ipod touch software in order to sync the app. When I click "check for updates" on the ipod screen it claims that my ipod touch software is up to date - but lists it as 2.2.1!!
    I know that the lastest version of ipod software is MUCH later than 2.2.1 but I can't seem to convince my itunes of this. Someone help me out please! I've done everything I can think of but my itunes is up to date and i NEED the app.
    Much appreciated!!

    As mentioned by IIIaass, connect to iTunes and check for updates for your ipod, see how to here: http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/software-update/
    If iTunes says that 2.2.1 is the latest software for your ipod, this may imply that iTunes recognizes your ipod as 1st generation ipod. See also this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2052 and try if you can update to iOS3.1

  • Updating ipod classic software

    well i have an 'older' ipod classic. is there anyway for me to get the new software? the software were the albums scroll along the side of the main menu of the ipod. updating the software thru itunes does not work.

    You can't update one iPod with software designed for another. If you have an older iPod (such as the 5th Generation model) you can't update it to have the "split screen" effect that you get with the Classic.
