Regarding ipod video mpeg 4 conversions

Hi everyone, please if anyone call help me, i would be greatly appreciative. I just purchased the quicktime pro 7 update/registration and i tried to export an mpeg that i have to mpeg4 (which is required to play on the ipod video). Everything converted to mpeg 4 properly, only that there is no sound playing on the newly formatted video.
What did i do wrong, what do i have to do to fix it or what should i do at all? Please, if anyone knows how to help, could you offer me some advice?
Thank you.

I found the directions below on the PSP Video 9 Forum last night & they worked like a charm for me. I was able to convert my mpeg video so both sound & picture played on my ipod. You do have to go to the videra site & download the free software first. I also paid for the Quictime pro 7 thinking it would convert sound & picture & it doesn't. Hope the post below helps.
Configuring videora converter
0) Start Videora iPod converter.
1) Click setup in the left nav.
1.5) Click the profiles tab.
2) Click new profile.
3) Now, configure that profile:
profile name: ipod
in the video settings section...
mode: MPEG-4 > CBR
resolution: 320x240
passes: one
bitrate: 768 kbps (384 kbps also works)
framerate: 29.97 fps
in the audio settings section...
bitrate: 128 kbps
sample rate: Input
channels: stereo
4) Click apply to save the profile.
Now, you're ready to transcode.
1) Click convert on the left nav.
2) Click the transcode new video button.
3) Pick your source video. Mine was an AVI from a torrent.
4) Under quality profile, choose "ipod", the profile you created using the steps above.
5) Click start.
Now you're ready to get the video on your ipod
1) In iTunes, under the File menu, select add file to library. Find the transcoded one. By default, the transcoded videos pop out under the Videora install directory.
2) Drag and drop to your ipod.
Questions/observations:
1) I haven't been able to get H264 anything to work. Is it broken? How much smaller than MPEG4 is it?
2) 768 kbps video was about 400 megs/hour; 384 kbps video was about 231 megs/hour. I could readily see a difference in video quality.

  • New question regarding iPod Video (converting from a DVD)

    First off...thanks again for those who helped me before. iSwuint seemed to work best for mac conversions for the new ipod. My new question is how to copy a dvd to make it compatible also using a mac. I know there is a program for pc that works, but I am using a g4 laptop. Thanks again in advance.

    The problem seems to be that it is seeing all the chapters as titles. The longest title is 22 min and it is like a hour and a half movie. Has anyone else had this problem.
    HandBrake sometimes has a problem listing all of the titles contained on a DVD. When HandBrake scans the title you may notice that it reads them all but when the list is generated, some entries in the list are omitted. This is likely what happened here. There are two approaches you can try. The first is to switch to an alternate application. The second would be to rip/extract the main title using a separate application like MacTheRipper and then use HandBrake's "browse" function to navigate to the appropriate VIDEO_TS folder files.

  • Is there a way to stop and then resume an ipod video conversion process?

    I am trying to convert videos to play on my new iPod Classic. The conversion process is painfully slow. I need to move the computer. Is there a way to stop the conversion process and then resume it later where you left off? The only way I have been able to figure it out is to put the laptop to sleep and then open it up later to resume. This is a problem too as I have an external USB drive hanging off the side. Any ideas?
    Thanks all in advance for your help.

    AFAIk you can just uninstall Thunderbird and reinstall. The profile will not be deleted. If you want to make sure, however, make a backup of your profile folder first.
    Read up on "backup", e.g. here : http://email.about.com/od/mozillathunderbirdtips/qt/et_backup_prof.htm
    (google is your friend :9 )
    P.S. _ Matter of fact you should regularly backup your data (e.g. your thunderbirdprofile) to some place different so as not to loose it all, if a thunderbird-bug/virus/windows-failure/Layer8-Problem corrupts your data.

  • Trouble with audio when converting MPEG to iPOD Video

    I am following the Quick Time Pro instructions for exporting my mpegs to iPOD video format, but when I do not get any sound. I am using Kazaa to download my mpegs. Is that the issues? I don't want to pay for videos on iTunes already formated for my 5G iPod. Can you help

    QT Pro does not handle "muxed" formats (MPEG1, MPEG2, VOB, some AVI, AVI MJPEG, etc.). Use an MPEG based third party application like Videora Converter.

  • Ipod Video (Videora) Conversions

    Hi. I have recently purchased an ipod video. The videos from the music store uploaded, and last night i downloaded videora to convert my other videos. All of the videos were WinAmp media files, and a qeued all of them to trancode while i was sleeping. When i woke up, 7 videos were in the videos folder, and i tried to add them all to itunes. 5 of the videos successfully went into itunes, and two did not. I am extremely confused as to why. I went on the forums, and wondered if maybe i needed to convert these into quicktime-type files. However, i was unable to find any free programs for this. Could anyone help?

    i had the same problem too... i'm also not sure why that happens, but there is a new article about converting video on ilounge.com. you may have a problem that they are talking about regarding the total number of pixel being too many for the ipod to read.
    i haven't got my replacement ipod back from apple for warranty yet so i haven't been able to play around with videora for almost 3 weeks. let me know if you figure it out.

  • Best video to ipod video converter software

    What is the best program I can buy for coverting my dvd's and other videos (including recorded tv shows on my dvr) to ipod video? Thanks.

    Hopefully in answer to the many posts on “how to get various video formats onto your iPod” I have put together a summary of applications I use. I have tried a few others with varying amounts of success (some of which are free) - I have finally plumped for the software produced by Xilisoft as providing good quality video relatively affordable cost for use withPC’s and numerous MS operating systems. The link below takes you to their site which not only allows you to download trail versions of their software but also has a comprehensive set of tutorials and FAQ's for their iPod video conversion software.
    I have regularly used these applications to convert various file formats to iPod friendly video. They are simple to use although frequently processor and RAM hungry:
    Use Xilisoft iPod Video Converter if you want to:
    [*]Convert various video file formats to MP4
    [*]Convert most audio file formats to MP3
    [*]Extract audio from video file and save to MP3
    [*]Encode several files simultaneously
    [*]Pause encoding process to run other CPU time consuming programs at any time
    Supported file formats:
    Video:
    [*]MPEG(mpg, mpeg, dat, vob); WMV; ASF; AVI; QuichTime(mov, qt); MPEG4(mp4); 3GP; DV(dv,
    dif); Real Video(rm); Animated GIF(gif - decoding only); Macromedia Flash(swf - decoding
    audio only);
    Audio:
    [*]MPEG Audio(mp2, mp3); WMA; WAV; AU; MPEG4 Audio(m4a); Real Audio(ra); OGG; AAC; Raw
    AC3(ac3); NUT Open Container Format(nut);
    To convert DVD's to an iPod friendly video format:
    Use Xilisoft DVD to iPod V4:
    [*]Just pop the DVD in your drive select compression variables (default settings work well) and sit back!
    All these products are available on a "try before you buy basis", yes there are applications for XP which are free but and may work just as well but I have converted many hours of video for my iPod without hassle using the Xilisoft products (no I don't work for them!). Check there web site HERE

  • My ipod video....

    my ipod video wont load the videos i have in itunes

    In order for video to be synced to your iPod, the video files must meet or be within the following specifications:
    H.264 video: up to 768 Kbps, 320 x 240, 30 frames per sec., Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats
    MPEG-4 video: up to 2.5 mbps, 480 x 480, 30 frames per sec., Simple Profile with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats
    Something about your video files does not meet the criteria above.
    If you read through similar posts in Apple Discussions, you can find topics related to various conversion utilities that you can use to convert your video files into an acceptable format.

  • 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.

  • Oxford Analytica Video briefing wont play on iPod video?

    I have a 30Gb iPod video and have downloaded one of the Oxford Analytica video briefings from iTunes. It plays fine in iTunes, I have then used convert selection for iPod which appears to run correctly. The file is MPEG-4 at 128kbps and a sample rate of 48KHz steriio with a low complexity profile. I have iTunes 7.2 if that helps.
    When I try and transfer this to my iPod is says that the file is not compatible. Can anyone tell me why as on the face of it, it appears that it is and should be, but it wont work.
    regards
    Rob

    Well, that rules out all the easy answers. Have you tried restoring the iPod? Hopefully, someone else will have other suggestions.
    Best of luck.

  • Can someone make Things clear for iPod video Transfers?

    Hi there:
    Ok, 30 Gig iPod Video
    All software up to date
    iTunes latest and greatest
    After reviewing the "discussions" here, the information provided, while good for "specific" instances, doesn't really cover any answers.
    So here's the problem: and also a bunch of questions which hopefully someone will take the time to answer, and with that, have a one stop place for all questions regarding the same. Thanks
    Windows XP
    All updates
    All iPod/iTunes latest greatest software.
    iTunes Latest
    iPod 30g Video
    iPod has been reset, redone, etc. so it's like brand new.
    Have Videora iPod Converter
    Also Azureus
    So..I download a movie, and snag it it shows up as
    MovieNameHere.mp4
    it's huge, so I'm assuming the whole thing was downloaded
    I drag and drop this to iTunes library but it doesn't show up in the library
    I drag and drop this to the iPod and it also doesn't show up
    I open quicktime to see if it will play in there, and i'm presented with "Not a valid movie file"
    I open Videora and try to convert and it doesn't show
    I've downloaded the "sample" movie file from the site, and it worked just fine, played no problem.
    Now this is the way that I feel that things "should" work.
    Simple...
    Music transfers' no problem so the iTunes library file is fine
    making sense?
    So my questions are as follows...
    What is the best place/medium for snagging movies.
    What format is iTunes looking for for the movies?
    What steps are required to get a movie and be able to transfer it. (Specific Please)
    Is there a piece of software out there that is better than the other? e.g. I get a bit torrent info file for a movie,
    download said movie, but it's not being recognized at all
    Won't copy, won't move to either iTunes or iPod.
    Please don't ask for a reset/reboot or any of the 5 R's, as this is just a waste of time at this point, as that's not the problem
    Would appreciate any help, and while this may be long, I understand, that with other people looking around and seeing that a lot of us are having the same problem, then this would be a good link to have.
    This shouldn't be hard to do..or at least as hard as it's seeming to be...
    download a movie
    transfer to iTunes,
    transfer to iPod
    Transfer transfer transfer etc...too many steps...this should be just like music, find it, add it and it's done.
    Thanks in advance for all answers, and I'll give mega points to anyone that comes up with the simplest of answers too.
    I monitor this discussion group various times of the day.
    Thanks again
    P4   Windows XP Pro   Kick *** System

    Thanks....I responded below, but basically...
    iTunes isn't or can't be recognizing the video.
    Window media player shows them, and plays them just fine
    I'll use videora to convert to the H264 format and see what happens then.
    It "should" be like music, add to library and all that.
    I can't use the "convert" option as iTunes isn't recognizing the format as yet.
    Will let the forum know
    Thanks
    Let's work our way through your questions:
    What is the best place/medium for snagging movies?
    - Sorry, I'm not going to help you get movies that
    you didn't pay for, there are plenty of other forums
    for that.
    Illegal movies wasn't the initial question actually and I fully agree
    What format is iTunes looking for for the movies?
    - It will play two types .mov and .mp4 but the .mp4
    must be H264. I've had an .mp4 movie that wasn't
    H264 and it wouldn't play on my iPod. The other part
    of this is the naming of the file. iTunes is
    stricter then Windows when comes to file names.
    Generally, if you stick to letters and numbers
    you'll be fine.
    I didn't know about the H264 format...so that's a good start.
    What steps are required to get a movie and be able to
    transfer it. (Specific Please)
    - You need a program that will convert the file or
    DVD to .mp4 or .mov. the free one that I know
    about is Videora.
    iTunes also has a converter built in, right click on
    the file and then convert (it's never worked for me
    though). As for the specifics of how you rip and
    convert that depends on the software, follow those
    directions. For loading it into iTunes and then onto
    iPod, its the same as a sound file.
    This is where one of the problems lies....I have a video, Mpeg-4 format, I can't get it into iTunes, or have iTunes recognize it. Same thing with quicktime player, it won't be recognized in there too..I've even tried changing the extension to .mov but to no avail.
    I have videora, and see all the coding options there
    So I will take that Mpeg-4 video that I have, and using Videora, convert it to the H standard...(am I right so far?) Will iTunes then be able to recognize it?

  • Converting TV shows for iPod Video - Please help!

    I have been trying all week to get one single tv show on my iPod, but I have had no success. I have been using Quicktime Pro with the iPod video export settings which takes forever, but every time the video is finished, it plays in iTunes with no sound. I have called tech support several times and they offered advice like, "Try using Divx to convert it into a .mov," but it never works. The types of files I am trying to convert are mpeg1 & 2, and .avi (downloaded files from p2p) but like I said, no success. If anyone can offer some straightforward advice about other programs to use, or what I may be doing wrong, it would be extremely helpful. I am using a brand new iBook G4. I understand you can use Handbrake to convert DVD's, but most of my files are tv shows, and would like to have some Simpsons or Family Guy in my iPod. Currently, I am waiting for Quicktime to convert three more mpeg files into the iPod format, and if it doesn't work, I will stop trying completely and stick to only movies, I guess. Oh, by the way, I have tried using iMovie to import files and it also experiences the same issues as Quicktime after it is added - no sound! Thanks again guys, I really appreciate your responses.

    QuickTime Pro will not transcode any form of muxed MPEG file correctly on its own.
    Forty-TwoDVD-VXPlus ($14.99) will convert MPEG1 but not sure about MPEG2 and M2/AC3 VOBs.
    MPEG2QT ($15) and MPEG2 Works 4 ($25) will convert MPEG1/2 and M2/AC3 VOBs. With regard to AVI files there are more than one type. If QT Pro won't handle them then you need to check DivX and/or 3ivX modules. However, as far as I know, DivX are still trying get their QT 7 component to work with DivX v5.x and the v6 has yet to be released.
    Tried PSPWare v2.1.4 in free, unregistered mode and it converted MPEG1 files without a problem. But all of my other, more common test file types failed to convert.
    Also tried MPEG StreamClip (free) which some users claimed worked fine. It kept cutting off the audio before reaching the end of the video in the target files (w/MPEG4 settings).

  • ITunes/iPod Video Formats

    Hello, i just recently got an ipod video 60 gb
    i wanted to put some videos on there form my computer and i already have dragged alot os video's and songs from my computer onto my list and am slowly converting th videos to be used on the ipod(these are plaim music videos, i think... not sure what format maybe MPG or something)
    now with the itunes conversion does that resize the picture of the converted video to the size of the ipod screen bexcaues i was wonderinf is they will be their original size for transporting ans showing them to people
    also i have some video files that ARE NOT letting me drag them into itunes, thus i cant convert and add to the ipod
    (i think they are AVI's, approximately 150mb-200mb each)
    thankyou

    Quicktime and iTunes don't convert "muxed" 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.
    I've used MPEG Streamclip with good results.
    Search this forum for other recommendations, but beware of spammers trying to sell you their own product.
    The file must meet the following specifications to play correctly.
    H.264 video: up to 768 Kbps, 320 x 240, 30 frames per sec., Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats
    -or-
    MPEG-4 video: up to 2.5 mbps, 480 x 480, 30 frames per sec., Simple Profile with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats.
