Refer me to a video to iPod converter program, please!

What's a girl with a PC and ipod to do? I find Cucus0ft, even with a key, to be busted and tired. I've had no help from quicktime.
Where's my video converter in shining armor?
I've got 5 seasons of .AVI Kids in the Hall to get off my computer and onto my ipod! I've installed and uninstalled so many things so many times my head is going to fall off! I need something that will get my .avi to ipod.
Please help! I need links to clean free software or names of software I can download w/ a key myself.

You know, I have no idea how to use that. The closest it seemed to getting what I want done is making the .avi readable for Quicktime or something.
So I have to go through a week of getting the .avi to Quicktime, then Quicktime to convert to ipod?
Maybe I just have no idea how to use it, because the instructions are useless as far as I've read.
My free download of CuCus0ft w/ key just closes every time I try to select a file to convert. I made it work one time, but now it's useless, even though that really was the best program for the job.
I keep trying to download non-trial versions of it to see if it'll work, but they're hard to come by for some reason and no, they don't work for me.
Really it's quite sad, because not being able to do everything I want without paying $10,000 is pretty lame and makes me feel as though the money on my ipod was wasted.

No sound; Video to iPod Convert

Hey, I am trying to convert a .mpg video file (Bit Rate: 1395 kb/s) and when I do there is no sound. The video aspect of it is just fine.
Edit: I just tried to convert it to .mov with Quicktime rather than iTunes and failed No sound...
Anyone know what is causing this?
MBP C2D 2.33GHz 15.4
2GB
iTunes 7.0.2 (15)
OS X 10.4.8 (Everything is updated)

If the file is muxed, there's the problem.
Quicktime or Quicktime Pro (which iTunes uses) 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).

Where are the videos from? are they from a creditable source or from an illegal downloading site such as limewire. most of those videos are not in the correct video format to begin with so apple itunes will not recognize them and convert them. The best way to convert video is to rip your own dvds or home movies and put them on your computer then ipod. There is at least one way on each operating system (windows and mac) to rip your own dvds and then transfer them to itunes and finally put them on your ipod. A mac is the easiest of the two ways. If you have a mac, then you download a program off of the web called handbrake. Simply "google" >handbrake rip dvds< and its homepage should pop up or try <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://">http://handbrake.m0k.org). Handbrake allows you to copy and convert your dvds to ipod format. On a windows operating system the most effective way I have found to rip my dvds is quicktime pro($25-$35). You can buy it at quicktime's website. It basically does the same thing as handbrake. I, myself, have simply converted some videos, like sports shows and commercials, to ipod format using itunes and both the video and audio worked fine.
If you have any ?'s just reply back
I hope this helps!

VIDEORA IPOD CONVERTER HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!

i have two issues with this program:
1. i go to one-click transcode, select my files, they're done in 2 seconds but don't appear saved or in the program file when i go to itunes
2. i select the files as above and it just says "starting job...please wait" forever. literally. it just doesn't do anything.
i would appreciate straightforward answers instead of hunting for them like i've had to do in other people's posts.

If your "converting...please wait" is still there after the bar says 100% then check the seconds converted.
a 2 hour video will be about 7200 seconds
if its anything well below that then the bar is just malfunctioning and you will have to wait until it hits about 7000 seconds and then it will say conversion complete, and it really will be done then.
Hope that helps

Super DVD to iPod converter problems

I have encountered a problem with Super DVD to iPod converter, which might have been stressed yet. Please let me know if so...
Problem: when i've ripped a dvd with DVD Decrypter and convert it with Super DVD to iPod converter, it doesn't play audio in Quicktime and it doesn't play at all on my iPod (black screen, no audio).
However, the Decrypted file does play in programs with sound and screen.
Something else, which scared me: when i played the DVD on my iPod it continued loading (the iPod was shaking) and the battery ran down in seconds. Scary or no prob at all???
Cheers, Piet

I bougt the Super DVD to iPod converter program and I'm having multiple problems.
First I couldn't figure out the registration code that I needed to enter from keeping lenogo charging me extra.
Then I think I finally figured it out because I was able to start the program but then after I pressed convert a large window popped up saying that all the conversion processes of the DVD failed. Every time.
And there is no phone number available to contact Lenogo support with, and the ticket I submitted, which I assume is a support email type thing, is not being replied to, and all the emails I send to their support email address, now totallying 5, maybe 6, has still yet to be replied to. I am very frustrated.
Does anyone have any advice or suggestions? If I can't get in touch I'm calling my credit card company, which I guess is the last resort. Ok, thanks
iPod Video Windows XP Super DVD to Ipod Converter

Quicktime issue? Converter program not working?

So I have a ripper program and an iPod converter program that I've been using to import a TVshow (Avatar: The Last Airbender) into iTunes. I did the first two seasons about a year ago, but stopped because I didn't have enough space and because the third season wasn't out yet. But I just recently ripped and converted the third season from the DVDs I bought, and there's a problem.
After getting the DVDs converted, I tried importing them into iTunes and playing them. Everything worked fine. All of them played, the sound matched with the speaking, and everything was great.
So, just now I tried to add them to my iPod, and my iTunes froze up after almost getting it uploaded. There was, like, half a millimeter to go in the bar, and then iTunes said that it "Encountered a problem and needed to close." We've all gotten that message. So, I tried it again, figuring it was just a one-time thing. It still did the same thing. I tried a different episode. Didn't work. I've looked for updates, and I know I have the most recent version of iTunes (8.0.2), and the most recent version of my iPod nano (3rd gen) The only thing I could find out by looking at the diagnostics was that it was a quicktime related problem. Could it be a problematic format? (MPEG-4) Or is it something else? PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nvm. Got a mac.

Thanks! But when I visit the site recently, I found the program was upgraded. Now it has 2 optimized output formats specially made for iPod 30G and 60G players! Thus it is easier and more convenient to use without complex settings as other software. Try it at http://www.imtoo.com/downloads/dvd-to-ipod.converter.exe
Another good news: there was a new discount suite ImTOO DVD to iPod Suitethat contains both the DVD to iPod Converter and iPod Movie Converter. It saves newly $20! Hope this can do some help

Can't synch video files, video podcasts or convert iTunes video to iPod vid

I don't know what has changed recently - I don't recall a new version of iTunes being installed but I am on iTunes 9.1.0.79 under WindowsXP.
I am no longer able to synch video podcasts which have been downloaded via Juice and video from iTunes-subscribed podcasts which were both in the right format and synching happily before whatever it was that changed, changed.
In addition, I cannot right-click and convert video to iPod format - that option isn't there. It has either gone (boo) or the video IS in iPod format in which case why isn't it synchcronising?
I've spent many hours now trying to work out what's changed, gone wrong, what kind of settings need to be changed to get back to where I was.
HALP!

I'm having the same issues! I used to be able to convert video, but that option is no lnoger there. My video is in a Quicktime format(which I thought was supposed to be compatible with itunes anyway) and it won't play.
And since when aren't you allowed to email customer support?? They want me to pay a min of $29 to have an analyst call me at my convenience? Bunch of greedy bastards!

Converting Video to iPod, can you change name of file

When you convert Video to iPod format, can you change name of the new file or put some "marker" so one can tell which is the orginal and which is the new file?
Currently it is difficult to tell between the orignal and the new file.
thanks in advance
Rohit

You'd probably be better off doing this sort of editing in iTunes, and letting it move the files appropriately.
Go to the preferences, Advanced tab, and check the box to 'Keep iTune Music folder organized'. Then any changes you make to song names or other info (within iTunes) will automatically be applied.

Converting an MPG video for ipod.. please HELP

Hello... i'm sorry about my bad english...
I tried many times converting videos for ipod, it allways convert them and than they become without the sound... someone can help me with that?
Thanks
Leo

Quicktime or Quicktime Pro (which iTunes uses) 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).

Lost sound when convert Quicktime video to ipod video

Hi,
when I use iTune to conveert a video file from quicktime (or others) to ipod/iphone video file I lost the sound!
I'll appreciate any help!
Thanks!

QuickTime expects video files with separate video and audio tracks, but many MPEG formats used a muxed (multiplexed) single track that contains both. Therefore, when you convert videos in iTunes to iPod format they only show the video and no sound since iTunes (really QuickTime) is not looking for the audio track within the video track and it gets lost.
iPod plays video but not audio of some exported files
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302588
One way to work around this is to use MPEG Streamclip to convert the files to fix this issue...
http://www.squared5.com/
but there are other applications besides MPEG Streamclip you can try as well.

Converting videos for ipod trouble need help plz

i always have to convert my videos for ipod but when i do, there is no more sound. how do i fix this?

Julia,
You need to format the iPod for Windows use.
Download the iPod Updater, install this to your computer, restart the computer, run the Updater, then connect your iPod when prompted, then follow the set up procedure.

Refer me to a video to iPod converter program, please!
