Some of my Movies and video podcasts won't upload to my ipod touch

I've been uploading my dvd collection on to my computer through a handy application called handbreak, the main reason for this was so I could watch it on my ipod touch on its beautiful display, but the problem is that it won't upload because the video says the ipod won't support it. I checked the format, mp4 which works in itunes fine, then I checked the size of each and they were quite big since I set the encoding to normal but It should upload even if it's a little big. Another problem is with my video podcasts, some of their HD content won't transfer over, this majority blows because I don't want to compress every single episode. Why is it not working?, and could their be a solution to this besides compressing each file in quicktime pro?

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions. 
Right click on the video (or select multiple videos and right click) and choose "Convert Selection for iPod/iPhone".

At least on my iMac, it only takes a few seconds.

  • Videos and video Podcasts won't sync anymore to iPod

    I have a 5th generation 30G Video iPod and used to have all the same videos and video Podcasts playing just fine on my iPod. I reinstalled Mac OS X on my Macbook and added all the videos and videoPodcasts back to my iTunes library and while they play in iTunes just fine they don't sync to iPod anymore... The error message says:
    'Some of the videos in your iTunes library, including video "..." were not copied to the iPod " X " because they cannot be played on this iPod.'
    And as said - in the past these same videos and video podcasts were playing just fine on this very same iPod... Can anyone help?
    All the audio library is being synced and plays perfectly well on iPod. And games too.

    Andrew, have you tried re-installing QuickTime? That might fix it. Download it from Apple:

  • Some video podcasts won't sync after using iPod to move music to new comput

    Hi -
    I used my iPod to move my music (and podcasts) to a new computer (from a PC laptop to a Mac Pro). Now when I try to resync it (on either computer) some video podcasts are not synched from iTunes to the iPod. In some cases, all podcasts from the same subscription fail to sync; in other cases, some podcasts synch and others from the same subscription don't. All of the podcasts that fail to synch are video podcasts.

    yeah i'm having the exact same problem so thought i'd up this rather than start a new thread. for me, one particular video subscription won't sync at all, and another is fine apart from three videos. particularly annoying as it took an absolute age to actually download them, and now they won't sync.
    anyone got any bright ideas?

  • Can't sync movies and video podcasts wont play

    I just got a 6th gen nano today and the movies will not show up on the nano. Also when I play any video podcast the video keeps freezing but the sound keeps going. Has anyone else experienced this issue? If so, how do I fix it?

    It also lacks Games and Photos.
    I have an iPod Touch now, but i also enjoy my iPod Nano 4G. The difference between them is the weight and the way commands are given: analog but wasy to use (even with eyes closed or one hand and on the moove), versatile options and small versus touch commands, huge screen, but big, in need of great care while handling and of both hands to command.
    This is not a decision to differenciate the iPod Nano 6G from iPod Touch, iPod Classic and iPhone, but it's actually not a Nano. It's iPod Shuffle with touch commands - nothing more, but a lot worse than any iPod Shuffle or previous iPod Nano.

  • Videos and video podcasts won't play in iTunes

    When ever I try to play a movie from either a podcast or a TV show, it will play about 1 second, stall, the "beach-ball" appears, the audio plays for that one second of video, then repeats. I am running a G3 iMac but before I updated to 10.4 (had 10.2) and videos played normally. Just wondering if there was any way to fix it.
    (On a side note, after I updated OS X, online quicktime movies play the same way)

  • I have a 5th gen ipod and recently all of my video podcasts stopped showing up in my ipod.  They still show up and play in itunes, just not in my video podcast list on my ipod.  All of the podcasts are Quicktime Large.

    I have a 5th gen ipod and recently all of my video podcasts stopped showing up in my ipod.  They still show up and play in itunes, just not in my video podcast list on my ipod.  All of the podcasts are Quicktime Large.  For some reason my ipod has stopped supporting Quicktime Large.  Now I've had to redownload every video podcast as Quicktime Small. 
    Anyone have any ideas whether this is from the the software version 1.3 and if they'll fix it in the next update?

    I'm having same problem, but QT Small videos are also not getting synced.

  • Video Podcasts Won't Play under 7.3.2.6

    Just installed new itunes and quick time and numerous previously downloaded and newly downloaded video podcasts won't play. You can see the opening frame on the small screen at bottom left if you click but when you try to play, the screen goes green, purple or other color and starts to vertically roll (like old tvs used to do) with foggy images. Strangely other video podcasts (old and new)do play. One example of podcast that does not play is Photoshop Killer Tips; one that does play is Adobe Photoshop Quick Tips.
    Computer has plenty of space and has been cleaned of temporary files, defragged, etc.

    And this is when going to videos-->video podcasts, right? Do they even show up there at all?

    Hello, eco1. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    This sounds like you are wanting to move your iTunes media folder to an external drive and have iTunes this folder from this location.  If this is the case then I would recommend taking a look at the article below.

  • Some of my pictures and videos are disappearing, anyone ever had that issue?

    Why are some of my pictures and videos disappearing?
    where re can go to access my photos and videos that I backed up on Icloud?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If you have iCloud photo library enabled on more than one device, the images can be removed from the other devices.
    What makes you think you have your images backed up, only images in the camera roll are backed up, you don't have a camera roll if iCloud photos are enabled.
