Syncing Video Files

I recently put some TV shows onto my iPod Classic (80GB). I then realised that in iTunes, some of the information was incorrect, so I changed it, (mainly episode numbers and IDs). I also added one more episode.
I then hooked my iPod up to my computer where it automatically started syncing. And to my horror, on the capacity bar, it showed that all my videos had gone, and it was syncing them all again!
Is this because I edited the information of ll of them and so it all has to fully re-transfer, or does it do this every time videos are transferred, because it took me 2 hours to get them all over last time, and it's going to be longer this time!
Also, is there a way to stop the iPod automatically syncing?

This sounds like you're trying to sync from a computer other than the one you had previously used. That's asking for trouble. It can be done but it's not easy.

  • Unable to Sync Video files after Itunes 9.0.3 and iPhone software update

    This is my problem with Itunes- After I the Software Update program installed iTunes 9.0.3 yesterday, and I upgraded the iPhone software (to 3.1.3.) shortly thereafter. The iPhone upgrade failed (it froze). When I restarted the computer, I had to restore the iPhone and then I synced. I could not sync my video files.
    The apps, music and "push" items sync perfectly. However, it ignores the Movies, Podcasts and iTunes U files.
    In terms of the location for these files, all of my Library and Media files are contained in a firewire external drive. They have been there since I started up with iTunes many years ago. All worked well before the Install/Upgrade.
    Problem is- iTunes ignores the pointer in Preferences/Advanced/Location and creates an empty folder, named iTunes in the Music library (in my Home directory) at every sync (even if I delete it, it recreates it on the new sync).
    Question-Why does iTunes ignore the pointer, and create a new empty folder in Home?
    Thanks for your help.

    Apparently Apple doesn't bother to test their software updates. This problem was introduced last September and has persisted through a number of updates that were supposed to address the bug. Very discouraging. I keeping holding out hope that an iTunes update will eventually fix this feature that worked fine for years before iTunes 9 was introduced.
    Unfortunately, it is impractical to go back to an earlier version of iTunes.
    I have reported this bugs several times (via iTunes feedback). If Apple actually reads the feedback, they never respond.
    It's not like there are other vendors or unknowns involved: current iMac 24, new iPod Touch, the latest version of iTunes and iPod OS.
    So what do we have to do to get Apple's attention? Stop buying music? Stop buying Apple devices? I'd love to buy the new iPad, but I'm darned if I will if they are unable or unwilling to fix this bug...

  • Ipod not syncing video files?

    When I try to sync a video file Itunes crashes and Windows says it's stopped working.
    It is a relatively large video file, but theres plenty of space?
    Whats wrong?
    Update:
    I tried to sync a small video file and it got right to the end of the progress bar and crashed.

    Oh, don't worry
    My cousin helped out, seemed to be a problem with things relying on other programs, for example contacts.. After these were removed from the sync it all worked fine.

  • Ipod classic won't sync video files

    I have .mov and .m4v and .mp4 video files that used to work perfectly with my ipod but now I get the message that "x wasn't synced with your ipod because it was not compatible"  Extremely annoying.  I have checked teh bit rates etc and they are al withing what the spec says the ipod will play.  Indeed I have older files of the same type that it plays fine but not these newer ones.
    Help

    Are these videos from the iTunes store or imported from outside of iTunes?  If they were imported from outside of iTunes try using the iTunes built in converter to try and convert the videos to an even friendlier iPod format.  To do this, highlight the video and choose Create iPod or iPhone version from the Advanced drop down menu.

    It would be SOO amazing if someone knows how to do this. Thanks

    If you want to transfer any size video to your iPod Touch, you can do this by dragging and dropping it into Pic Share It.  The video will appear in your Camera Roll.  It's a free program.  Here's a video showing how it works.

  • IPod nano won't sync video files

    I have an iPod nano that plays video, and I have recently learned to transfer videos from my computer onto the device. The videos show up in iTunes and are in the correct format, but when I hook up my iPod to sync, it acts as if they aren't there. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Please help.

    I didn't realize that when you hook up your iPod, there's a tab that says "movies" and an option saying "Sync movies." Whoops.

  • Trouble syncing video files from Itunes to Ipod

    I've downloaded a few videos through the iTunes store and they play through iTunes with no problem but when I sync to my new 32GB iPod Touch, I get the following message:
    "Some of the videos in your iTunes library, including the video "[name of video]", were not copied to the iPod "DC iPod" because they cannot be played on this iPod."
    On a previous thread about this issue ive seen that apparantly Ipods are unable to take 'HD' video, anybody able to tell me how to take the video out of HD because ive spent £20 on the 'Glory Daze' series and uploaded the new IOS server in hope of working but at the moment its just looking like a waste of £20

    It's probably a good idea to update your iTunes. However, you should be able to get an SD copy of the same TV Show.  Try right-> clicking on the show in iTunes and looking for an option related to downloading or using the SD version.
    Anything there?

  • Restoring lost video files from iPod Classic

    I was recently trying to move my Video Files (last three seasons of Cops all downloaded from Itunes) to a different location on my computer. To put a long story short they somehow disappeared and I’m not sure how. I have searched my hard drive and I didn’t even have them in my recycle bin.
    Fortunatly I still have them on my iPod Classic (160 GB) and I’m trying to figure out how to recover them from it, but I’m not sure if I have it set up to sync video files automatically or if it even works that way and I’m afraid to plug it into my computer or it might sync and delete the files.
    The first thing I tried was to plug it into a different computer (already authorized) so it would upload the files downloaded then I could use an external drive to transfer the files back to my regular computer. I was able to get the most recent season uploaded, but then I got an error message saying that it couldn’t upoload some of the protected files unless my computer was authorized (even though it was). I re-authorised my computer and it still didn’t work.
    I read that you can press Ctrl-Shift and hold it down while you plug your iPod in that it will prevent auto-syncing. I tried this but as soon as my iPod said “synchronizing” I unplugged it.
    Does anyone know how I could pull these files from my iPod to get them back on my computer?

    To prevent auto sync, before you connect the iPod go to the iTunes preferences and select "devices", then select "disable automatic syncing for iPhones and iPods".

  • I just recently upgraded my itouch from 4.1 to ios5, and updated to itunes 10.5. when isynced my music files,ebooks and other apps, all is working except when im trying to sync my video files. it says, canot be synced as cannot be played on this ipod.help

    i just recently upgraded my itouch from 4.1 to ios 5, and updated to itunes 10.5. but when i synced my music files,ebooks and other apps, all is working except when im trying to sync my video files. it says, canot be synced as cannot be played on this ipod. but those are the same files that i have when i was using the old 4.1 version and its syncing just fine.. the itunes advanced tab "create iphone or ipod version" is not working either so i cant convert it to be xferred and synced. what can i do to have my video files synced?

    i had the same problem but i just got a new video converter and made it convert videos to ipod/iphone format and then put them into itunes. i would suggest GOM encoder as the encoder can convert them and then once they're finished converting, put them automatically into your itunes for you. from there you can just sync them to your ipod.

  • Sync audio with two different video files to create split screen

    I want to sync two different video files to a high quality audio file and create a split screen from there in Final Cut Pro X. Help please?

    I'm following along at home, Tom, trying to make sense out of your instructions. (Editorially: This kind of operation is among the reasons I thoroughly loathe FCPX.) This would have been easy in FCP7. Perhaps it's actually the same amount of work (you are describing operations in FCPX I have not bothered to try yet—too scared) but it's far more direct the old way: Find sync points for all three files, stack them up in a timeline, nudge till precisely matched, apply effects.
    But I'm glad you're here to help us through this stuff!

  • Work flow for syncing separate Audio files with Video files in FCP

    It may be too late for me to use this workflow that I want with my current project, but I need to figure out what it is anyway for future reference.
    Right now I'm editing a movie which is near completion. When we recorded the movie, the camera's deck recorded reference audio from the sound guy at 48k @ 16bit. This audio also went through an additional set of preamps which added a small amount of noise. So we don't want to use the reference audio because of it's low resolution and less clean audio. The sound guy recorded straight to his deck at 48k @ 24bit, besides the better resolution, his audio is noticeably better.
    The camera deck and 'clapper' (I think that's what you call it) were not connected or synced. So the video files and the soundsguy's audio files are slightly different lengths, but at least have a 'clap sound' to manually sync to. And I don't mean that the audio and video files won't play in sync with each other, I mean that the soundguy always started recording before the camera, so his audio files have slightly different start and stop times.
    Could I have synced the audio files with the video files before I started editing this project? If so, could it have been in the way that the soundguy's audio would be connected to my video files while editing? What would that procedure have been?
    My current workflow right now is I have my finished sequence, I change the bit rate to 24 in Sequence Settings, and start manually dragging the soundguy's files to the sequence for every little edited clip. This is going to take forever, there are 99 scenes in this movie. Anyway, at the end of the day these sequences are exported as .omf files and imported into Pro Tools for audio post production.
    I was not thinking to figure this out before I started editing the movie, this is unfortunate, a newb move in a decent production.
    Anyway, I don't know if there is a standard for this situation or if I just opened up a can of worms for many possible workflows. Please comment if you have experience in this area or please refer me to any reading material.
    Thanks for your time!
    -Monty

    The normal workflow (besides manually syncing up before editing!)
    is to have ' some ' way of auto syncing the clips.
    So you must have common timecode.
    With external audio, you can slave the cam's TC to the TC output of the BWF recorder.
    Then you can use BWF / QT merge (one of my apps) to sync them, or use Sync 'n Link.
    (another third party application)
    If it is not possible cause you're shooting with a cam without a TC input, you can record the TC output on one of the audio tracks of your cam, and use FCPauxTC reader to decode the beeps and translate that to QT TC, and again use the former tricks to sync them.
    It is difficult when you have never done it, but very easy once you get the hang of it, and it saves a huge amount of time to do it right from the start.
    Have a look at the FCP aux TC reader here:

  • How to upload video file to non-synced computer

    I am traveling with my laptop and want to upload a video from my iPhone.  However, the iPhone is synced to my desktop at home and I would prefer not to change that.  Is there anyway to get the laptop to "see" the iPhone as, for example, a hard drive and thus permit me to copy the video file to the laptop?  Thanks!

    Yes, in your itunes go to Edit>Preferences>Devices>Check the box that says prevent iPod, iPhone... from automatically syncing
    This will allow you to plug it in and import the video using camera wizard, auto play or whatever you have on your PC and it wont auto sync with itunes. It might pull the iphone up in itunes but it wont sync so youll be okay!
