THE GUIDE FOR PUTING VIDEOS ON YOUR IPOD!

Hello all you Ipod 5g (video) owners. like you, I was extremely exited by the coming out of this Ipod and bought it the first week or even day that it came out in stores. most likely, you had no idea how to get your videos and was extremely frustrated when you got that error from itunes saying "this file cannot be put on to your Ipod because it cannot be played on it" well I have been doing a week of research on forums google and apple.com and have decided to make this guide so all you new 5g Ipod owners will not have to go through the frustration like I did.
This Method worked great for me and I hope it works great for you as well
First- you need quicktime pro there is no other solution from this that I have found so far, it will be well worth it after you get your first video or even your hundredth on the ipod. it is only 30 dollars too and as well as being able to convert and export your videos to Ipod format it plays your videos great and in full screen with great quality.
-Now you might have already done this and have spent about a day exporting the video to Ipod format finding that after about 15 hours of converting you get a video... with out audio!! that was one of the things that really got me mad. I'm guessing the file you tried to convert was mpg or mpeg 2? well I have a solution for that too! there is a program called virtual-dub http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/virtualdub/VirtualDub-1.6.11.zip?use_mirror=c ogent it is freeware and works great. what it does is convert your files to avi with the audio and video, when at avi format, you will be able to export them in quicktime pro to an Ipod format with the audio and video in it. WARNING you will need a MASSIVE HARD DRIVE for this! make sure you have from 2-20gb of space depending on the hard drive, or better yet, have the avi saved to your Ipod hard drive! well.. after you have converted your video to avi format open it in quicktime pro, click on file>Export>save as an mpeg4 file (MUCH FASTER!!)>go to options> click on audio>make the audio settings as pass through as it will sound much better>go to video and change the image size 320 by 240>click ok. it should then start to export the file and take about 30 minutes due to exporting as a mpeg4 file is just much faster than exporting it specifically as the Ipod setting. remember to delete the avi file after you successfully get it exported as an mpeg4 file if you don't want your hard drive to become extremely full. then simply add your file to itunes and drag it to the Ipod video and enjoy! tip if you have alot of files I recommend making some folders like *converted to avi* and *ready to unload to Ipod* it made things alot easier for me.
please post comments criticizing and subjecting things to add to my guide

You see Daniel. I Told you there would be more interest over in the iPod section.
Unfortunatly, the app only works on Mac OS X .

    The iPod TV out only works for aps that support TV out.  The description of Hulu Plus only states that iiPad supports HDMI video out (SD only)

  • Is there a way at all to put music videos in your ipod nano?

    Is there a way at all to put music videos in your ipod nano?

    No. The nano is not capable of video playback. You would need the fifth-generation full sized iPod for that.

  • The way to put videos in my ipod HELP PLEASE!!!

    Hello all
    i just purchased 30gig ipod video, and i have no idea how to put my videos from my digital camera to my ipod. My clips from digital camera are in Windows Media format. Can some one please tell me how to put these in my files into itunes and then into my ipod?

    yes you can put videos in your iPod, I do it all the time.
    what i do is if they are in a format that QuickTime can understand like .mov or another format like that i put it into QT Pro and export it as "iPod" or as "MPEG-4" and once it is converted you can drag it into iTunes edit the info and put it on your iPod. if they are not in a format that QT dosent understand there is a freware program called Videora. get the one for iPods and it will convert it into .mp4 which can then be dropped into iTunes edit info and put onto an iPod.

  • I have an iphone 4 with videos on it that I'd like to transfer to an IMac so that I can email them.  (the iphone isn't in use anymore.)  What's the procedure for transfering videos from an iphone to an iMac?

    I have an iphone 4 with videos on it that I'd like to transfer to an IMac so that I can email them.  (the iphone isn't in use anymore.)  What's the procedure for transfering videos from an iphone to an iMac?

    Connect the iPhone to your Mac with its USB cable and launch iPhoto.  In iPhoto you can select which files to upload into the library.  Once in the library export them out of iPhoto to a folder on the Desktop via File ➙ Export ➙ File Export  with Kind=Original. That will give you copies of the videos in the folder for use outside of iPhoto.
    If you want to bypass importing into iPhoto try launching Image Capture and manually upload the selected video files to the folder of your choice.

    i have started the guided access and that time my ipod touch 3 battery gets over now i cant close my ipod or cannot restore it

    Without knowing what happens when you try to restore the iPod
    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • "For a video, or music iPod"

    When an iPod accessory says, "For a video, or music iPod" will it work with an iPod Touch that has video and music?

    Probably not, look for one that says it is compatible with an iPod Touch.

  • How do you download videos in your ipod nano??? Can you even???

    Nano doesn't load and play video, BUT if your just wanting to transfer a video file from one PC to another you can do that.

  • How do I change the thumbnail for a video file?

    Can I change the thumbnail for a video file (ex. .mov) in Bridge CS4?

    Can I change the thumbnail for a video file (ex. .mov) in Bridge CS4?
    Not to my knowledge. It seems it takes a snapshot from about the 10th second of the movie and creates a thumbnail for it. On a Mac the finder thumbnail shows the first frame of a movie, both don't seem to be able in getting customized.
    It will be down to a good naming convention I'm afraid. Not having CS4 installed anymore but on Bridge CS6 .mov files play on an reasonable sized scale in good quality in the preview window, maybe that will help you?

  • Can you hook up your iPod Touch 4th generation with an HDMI cable to your HDTV and play videos from your iPod to the TV?

    I'm trying to find out if I can hook up my iPod touch 4th gen. iOS 5.0.1 to my HDTV with an HDMI cable and have it mirror what I do on the iPod Touch like mirroring videos for example. I need to find out and if so, how?

    You can only output content to your TV if the App you are using supports the TV Out functionality. Mirroring is not supported on the iPod Touch.
    If you still want to output content from your iPod to your TV, make sure you have the right cables as described here.

  • Guide to ANY video file to ipod for FREE using Windows!!!!

    This has taken hours upon hours of my time to figure out so you guys won't have to!
    First off go to:
    http://www.videora.com/en-us/Converter/iPod/
    download and install this amazing program. It will convert avi's, mpeg-2,...
    after installing, you CAN'T use the default settings
    to output a video file that can be transfered onto
    ipod EVENTHOUGH YOU CAN TO iTUNES!. So what you have
    to do is go into setup and where it says "one-click
    profile" change that to "SP/320x240/1500..." and then
    chose a directory that you want it to output to. SAVE
    now, when you go to convert make sure you click on
    "one-click transcode" and chose the file(s) you want
    it to convert to. to chose more then one file hold down ctrl and click on all the videos you want (it has to be in the same folder from my knowledge). when its done you'll have the orignal video on your computer as well as a mpeg-4 version (you can tell which is which, change your folder view to details and it will say under "type". drag and drop all the mpeg-4 ones into iTunes MAIN LIBRARY, NOT VIDEOS!. if you want, after its done, you can delete the original as well as the mpeg-4 files because iTunes saves it again, at least it does for me since i have a CONSILIDATED LIBRARY which means anything you put into iTunes thats not apart of its directory folder, it will make a copy of and put in its directory folder. If you don't have a consildated library you should not delete the mpeg-4 files. Edit your video files in iTunes and connect your ipod and see the magic happen. And
    that is that. ENJOY!!

    The full version of Nero has a program called RECODE.
    It's output displays well in the IPOD.
    You can choose the quality, amount of compression, screen size, etc.
    I went to the Quicktime page that shows how to do this in Quicktime and it gives the suggested screensize and bitrates to go by and set NERO to . A 2 hour movie in 300MB appears to have no major sacrifice in quality using the small screen. The video compression properties screen has a checkbox that says "simple - Quicktime compatible" that may or may not have helped, but I set it as a new default profile called IPOD.

  • How do you get the photos/videos off your iPod touch?

    Is it through itunes because I can't seem to figure it out. Would appreciate if someone can help me out with this.

    I'll solve my own (and others I'm sure) problem. The Appir iTouch iOS 4.1 .pdf manual was of no help as all it says is: "PC: Follow the instructions that came with your photo application." No help there.
    When you connect your iPod Touch 4th gen via USB, you should see it in the My Computer list of hard drives as a Digital Camera. You can open it up and see the camera files. Note: This in not the Photos as in the ones you put on your iPod via iTunes. Repeat: You cannot use iTunes to get the pictures & videos you take to your computer via iTunes. Strange.
    Also see Apple tech note: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1500 This is how to disable the popup that happens to many when you connect your iPod and Windows whats to know what application to run.
    For me, I could not delete the files nor could I Drag & Drop (Copy / Paste) all the files from the iPod to my PC. It would stop transferring data after about 750 files. So I had to find a solution. I searched for programs that supported WIA protocol, which is how files are transferred.
    I tried all of the apps at http://www.photo-freeware.net/transfer-tools.php and the only one that worked.
    That was Cam2PC. One problem I encountered was that after transferring, it opened a Preview window. Unfortunately it doesn't do Quicktime, so when trying to display a thumbnail view of movies, it crashed. You can configure it not to open the preview window after transferring.
    Another program to use is FastStone Image Viewer 4.2. No problems transferring or previewing. It doesn't show all files transferred when it opens it's preview window, notably Quicktime files. It does show screen dumps (.png) files. It is fast, small and so easy to use.
    At last but not least, Nikon ViewNX 2 software. It transfers fast, has many options. Just what you would expect from a digital camera company. It previews Quicktime but not screen dumps. Downside: The program takes longer to load than the others.
    So I'll be using FastStone Image Viewer 4.2 mostly. Hope the above helps out anyone that had the same problem as I did.
