Remote for ipod video

i have hooked my ipod to the onkyo stereo with a docking station made for the onkyo system will the remote work with this docking station or do i have to buy something else. thanks bill.

The Apple remote only works with the Apple dock and iMac not 3rd party accessories. To make a movie playlist just make it in iTunes and transfer it to the iPod via auto update or manually. Then, on the iPod, go to Video>Video Playlist and you will see the list that was transferred to the iPod. All movie and video playlist will appear under that section.

Remote for ipod touch

is there a way to use remote for ipod touch and iphone with only bluetooth?
i'm running 3.1 os for ipod touch and i have itunes 9

If you mean using the remote app for controlling itunes with your touch using only bluetooth, as others have said, that's a no. This might be an ignorant suggestion, but someone who knows more about it can maybe post after me. If you're connecting your macbook to the internet with an ethernet cable rather than a wifi router, can you set up a macbook as a wifi connection spot so that your ipod is connecting directly to the macbook via wifi? I would imagine you could use the remote app then.
I also sort of thought you were asking if there was a way to control your ipod touch using a remote via bluetooth, and that's also a no, but you can use a remote with a dock connector.

Best quality? For ipod video

Quick Time Pro installation for Ipod videos

I have been trying to download video files to my Ipod. I read where I needed Quick Time 7 so I downloaded it. It didn;t work. I was told I needed Quicktime 7 Pro. Bought it. When I followed instructions for converting my video files I received an error message saying my video files were not movie files. After discussing the issue with an Apple support person it looks as if I do not have Apple Quick Time 7 Pro. I followed the directions and when I open Quicktime in the control panel it has my name and unlock key and says Quicktime 7 Pro. However when I open Quick Time Player and go to ABOUT...it says Quicktime 7.0.3. How do I get what I paid for so that I can convert my video files and treansfer them to my IPod? Help!

QT Pro is not a separate application. The Pro key unlocks the Pro capabilities that are in the free version of the Player. You should find a preset for iPod videos by loading the source files and using Export from the File menu. Note that QT will not export the sound track from muxed mpegs, like mpeg-1 or mpeg-2. QT Mpeg Limitations
For those you will have to try some of the Windows applications that have appeared since the iPod was released. Here is the link for one of those Windows iPod exporters that should work with avi and mpeg files. It is freeware.

Remote for iPod

Hi there.
I've bought the Apple Universal Dock for iPod with Apple Remote, and I wanna to know if there is any way to use this remote with the Remote app.
Thx all.
Obs.: I'm a PC user

Hi,
The menu button works with the new iMac:
b Apple Remote with Mac
Included with the new iMac G5, the Apple Remote gives you total command of your music, photos, videos and DVDs from anywhere in the room. It combines with Front Row a menu-driven, full-screen interface to make accessing your iMac's digital bounty from any seat in the room as simple as navigating your iPod. When you click the Apple Remote's
b Menu button
, your desktop fades and Front Row's sleek interface takes its place to give you control over your music in iTunes, your photos in iPhoto, the videos in your Movies folder and whatever DVDs you want to play. Turn up the volume. Shuffle. Skip to the next chapter on your DVD. Play a slideshow, a home movie you made in iMovie, even a movie trailer. Just sit back and enjoy the show.
Regards,
Colin R.

Now when I connect it to my computer, it brings up the looking for a driver window and says it can't find it. Its only been a week since it worked fine..

I too have had a problem with needing a driver for ipod. My ipod was working fine, then my computer stopped recognizing the ipod. It says it needs a driver for the ipod and I can't find one anywhere...need help..please

Best type of case for iPod Video 30GB

Merry Christmas everyone!
I just got a new iPod Video (30GB), and I'm looking into accessories for it. I want to buy a case that's good to protect the ipod from scratches and such, as well as if I accidentally drop it. I know there are a lot of good minds out there.. what would anybody recommend that would do the job, but at a considerable price (around 20-25 bucks)?
Thanks in advance!
iPod Video 5th Gen 30GB; iPod 4th Gen 40GB Windows XP

best I've found so far is an iskin. It's over your price limit but provides top of the line protection for screen as well as thumpage protection (I drop mine a lot)
try ebay

What are the specs for iPod video

i wish to manually convert .mov (video with audio) to vPod format.
anyone know where there is a list of the specs required, movie size, format, audio format?
i'm trying to figure out the following:
i have two movies of like nature. i drop ,them both in iTunes. i tell iTunes to convert for iPod and it says one does not need conversion. i am trying to figure out why the other does. they are both 44.1/h.264.
what is the movie size spec and all the specs for QT to vPod conversion? (i want do to it manually.)
i think i have it, is this correct: 320x180 (16:9). i assume vPod can play both 48.hz audio and that that does not have to be converted to 44.1 (both aac)?

QT Kirk is simply saying
you can make the file you dropped on the script in
order to make it uneditable editable once again by
loading the file in a hexidecimal editor utility and
"zeroing out" the code that makes it uneditable.
yes, i wanted to know which file to edit the script or the 'locked' movie --the .mov, thanks.
.mov
Format: AAC,Stereo (L R), 44.100kHz, H.264 Decoder,
391 x 216, Millions
FPS: 29.97
Data Size: 58.25
Data Rate: 536.90 kbits/sec
Normal Size: 391 x 216 pixels
Current Size: 391 x 216 pixels
(Actual)
The information cited does not include information regarding
the H.264 profile used to create it. If created using the QT
"Movie to QuickTime Movie > H.264" export option,
then the file would not be iPod compatible since this
workflow employs the "Main" profile. In a similar
manner, if the file was created using the QT "Movie
to MPEG-4" Export option, it would have been created
using either the "Main" or "Baseline" profile.
However, based on your dimensions, iTunes expects the
file to be created using the "Baseline Low Compexity"
profile and proceeds to correct the situation.
how can you do that via QTP expert options? if you can. i create a lot of web movies and wish to 'feed 2 birds with one piece of bread'. (i like birds.
if these are the only
conversion for iPod tools apple offers...
why?
QT Pro/iTunes currently
offers the use of two H.264 iPod compatible,
automatically adaptive workflows (Baseline LC and
Baseline) and QT Pro additionally offers one full
manual iPod compatible H.264 workflow (Baseline
profile) and one full manual MPEG-4 workflow. As to
why the QT "Movie to iPod" and iTunes workflows are
auto-adaptive, most users simply want to have iPod
compatible files when they want them and don't want
to learn how to make them properly with respect to
each compression format and/or profile requirement
and/or special case considerations (dimensions, data
rates, frame rates, key frame frequency, aspect
ratio, macroblock efficiency considerations, etc).
yes, i wish to... well, i said that above, create web and ipod in 'one fell swoop'. i suppose these ipod auto-adaptive modes will work for web, but i'd rather use the expert options. i would like to "learn how to make them properly".
> ok .m4v is h.264.
Rather loosely stated. The
".m4v" extension refers to the file container while
H.264 refers to the actual video compression
algorithm. In this case the H.264 video format is
specifically stored in this file container. One the
other hand, the ".mp4" file container is a more
generic MPEG-4 file container commonly used for
either MPEG-4 or H.264 (MPEG-4 AVC) video compressed
files. And, at the other end of the scale, the ".mov"
file container is the most generic since it can
basically contain any "supported" compression format
to include either MPEG-4/AAC or H.264/AAC iPod
compatible files. One key to remember here is that
file containers, like the compression formats that
they can contain, have specific "characteristics."
For instance, ".m4v" and ".mp4" file containers can
have one external piece of graphic "artwork"
associated with it (as seen in iTunes), but the
".mov" container cannot.
i did not know that .mp4 also served for h.264. the graphic container of .m4v i had sort of noticed, however i did not or had not for .mov, thanks.
Your file did not conform to
the required "Baseline LC" profile and so iTunes
converted it. Since the "LC" profile defaults to a
video data rate on the order of 1500 Kbps, your file
size was nearly doubled for the specific duration of
your clip.
i'm not sure i understand why my data rate was converted where a lesser data rate was not. (536 vs. 262)
thanks very much for this 'training'.

Best Photo Recovery App for Ipod video?

Hi.... what should be the best app recovery tool out there that is compatible with iPod video?

If you copied photos to your iPod using the full resolution option you don't need a 3rd party program. Enable disk use, open your iPod in "my computer", open the photos folder then open the "full resolution" folder and drag the photos out of that folder to your desktop. For enabling disk use look here.
Disk Use.
As for other programs, I don't know if this is the "best", but it's one I've used successfully before.

Convert Selection For iPod--Video Problems

I've got video in iTunes, that's not the problem. I've checked, iTunes and QuickTime are both up-to-date. When I try and sync the videos to my 80gig iPod, it tells me that they can not be synced because they are not the right format. They're all .mp4 format and Apple lists that as compatible for an iPod. When I right click on the video and click on 'Convert Selection for iPod', it converts it, but I only get the audio with a blank white screen and no video. I've followed the Apple tutorial and they're video clip works when I convert it. I went to the DivX website and downloaded the newest version of it and installed everything but the DivX player. It still won't work. What should I do?

I think I was able to resolve this myself after some trial and error. It looks like it is all in the name of the file. I've gotten some files to transfer after going into the Get Info section and updating the name (usually shorten the name or take out non-letter/number/# characters and then get the filename on disk to match.

Resources for movies for iPod Video 60Gb?

I've just acquired the iPod Video and absolutely love it! Are there places you can download content for it, besides Apple.com which seems very limited at this point?
Also, I'd love to import my favorite DVDs, but I don't know if that's a legal use of the rights to a DVD purchased.
Thanks,

Is there such a thing as an extra battery for Ipod video

I am planning a long plane trip next year and I keep toying with buying a video ipod but the 3 hour (for watching videos) or so battery life is making my decision towards the no side. I am wondering if there is an external battery that is worth the money that will give me a long life so I can keep myself entertained for many hours.

Sure there are many plug in external power packs you can buy. Some are rechargeable units themselves while others simply use common (AA, AAA, 9V) batteries and give a univeral 5V USB output. Here is one such example...

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?
