Transferring videos to ipod

i imported videos into itunes and they are all the right kind (.mp4) and they play fine in itunes but when i try to upload them on to my ipod it says it's working but the files dont show on the ipod. and everytime i try to synch my ipod it keeps trying to upload these files to no avail. it doesnt show an error message, i just cant see the files. i was once able to put some videos on but i have no idea what i did. any suggestions?
Windows XP

I recently downloaded the videora program. It does convert .mpg files into .mp4. But I tried converting a larger file (full lenght DVD in .mpg format) I noticed that the video and audio were not in sync. I tried a couple of different settings both in the videora program and the program I use for ripping the DVD and so far everything I have tried seems to make it worse. So I have given up on videora and since downloaded a program from http://www.cucusoft.com/ This program (cucusoft iPod video converter & DVD to iPod converter suite) lets you rip DVD's to the format that the iPod recognizes (no converting). It also lets you convert video files such as .mpg ect... to the iPod format. It comes at a price of roughly $40. So far so good with this program. Great video and great sound and they are in sync. Note: you can download a free version just to try it out, the only thing is they put a watermark on the video, but a least you get to see what it can do with no risk.

Help! Trouble transferring videos to iPod

Hi! I really need some help here, I e-mailed the iTunes store and called tech support and neither one helped.
I have a Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop computer with Windows XP and a Fifth Generation 30 GB video iPod. I purchased a season of television shows from the iTunes music store and I can't transfer them on top my iPod. They play on my computer just fine. I also downloaded a podcast with some video episodes which transferred to my iPod just fine. Some of the earlier episodes had to be converted for the iPod but then worked afterwards.
Also, whenever I click into the Video tab of the ipod settings, the button is clicked that says do not transfer video and it does not let me click anywhere else.
Any suggestions?!?!

Hey there!
Go back to File > Preferenes > iPod > Video
If the "Do Not Transfer Video" option has a checkmark next to it, you should be able to click on the checkmark to remove it.
Let me know what happens...

Problem transfering video to ipod......HELP PLEASE

i have put videos onto itunes(converted them using videoria)they show up on my itues and in my library but when i try to drag them onto my ipod it doesnt highlight. no response at all. i can only drag them to my "pary shuffle" i know this question has probly been answere a million times but i cant figure out what im doing wrong. im even looking in the folder that videoria saves the transfered songs. still no luck adding them to the ipod. please any feed back will help

I have had this problem, and it deals with the amount of data. It is the Average Bitrate, it should be below 500 kbps. Also try using handbrake or DVD2Pod. I use MacTheRipper to rip the DVD and DVD2oneX to size the DVD to under 4.3 Gig. Also a program that helps is DVDxDV which truns a VOB file to a movie.

I transfered videos from iPod to iTunes on Windows 7 PC but album art won't show up, even when I choose to find album art

I just installed iTunes 64 bit on my PC with Windows 7. I transfered my movies from my iPod Classic but no album art on any of them. I even try to find album art but nothing. I've downlaoded a couple of music albums onto same PC that I downloaded previously on iPad and they have art but not the videos I just transferred from iPod. I also can't play any of them on PC. I keep getting the no Quicktime message even though I downloaded QT. Any ideas?

I'm having the same problem, except I dont have itunes match enabled.
I synced my ipad and unchecked all my albums to remove them. Then I re-synced with the albums selected. They went back on WITH the artwork under 'artists' but then for some reason the next time I sync, some of the artwork under 'artists' is gone leaving only a music note for the cover.
It also has nothing to do with the cloud backup as I have experienced this with both backing up to the cloud and to my mac.
strange.......

Problems transfering videos to ipod since installing itunes 6.02

So, i just upgraded to itunes 6.02 and now i can't transfer videos onto my ipod. It tells me they aren't in the correct format or a format the ipod can play. Before i upgraded i had absolutely no problems. I have tried taking off files that uploaded fine with the previous version of itunes and uploading them with the newer version and they don't work either. I've got the latest updater software and that's made no difference.
I've used both Videora and Apollo ipod convertors and neither make any difference. I've tried both mpeg4 and h.264 formats, but that doesn't work either.
Why do apple bring out software that creates new bugs?!

I just bought a 5th gen and cannot transfer videos.
The videos are a computer format (could not play on TV) and I converted them to play on Ipod like help file stated. It stated that I can drag and drop to Ipod icon that shows when I connect the Ipod and use ITunes. Well no can do! It transfered to ITunes and will play in ITunes but cannot get to Ipod. My Ipod has a video section so I know I can have them on it. I tried with manual and automatic update selected.
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks
Jim

Problem transfering video to ipod

I bought some video files (tv episodes) from the iTunes store and for some reason some of them will not transfer onto my iPod. The first few files worked fine and play on my iPod fine too (it's a season's worth of a TV show I'm discussing here). But the last few downloads refuse to transfer. They will play on the computer but when I drag them onto my iPod - a new 160G classic - it tells me "XX was not copied to the iPod because it cannot be played on this iPod."
Incidentally, I am running the latest iTunes version (7.4.2 (4)) and iPod OS.
It's especially strange because only some of the video files have this problem, not all of them. And as I said they play fine on iTunes on the computer.
I checked and made sure my computer is authorized for my account. Rebooting, ejecting and replugging the iPod, or restarting iTunes doesn't help. Any advice?

I had a similar problem once and solved it by coping the items to another folder. I then removed the items using the iTunes interface and said "Yes" to the "remove video and delete file" question. I then closed iTunes. After opening it again I used the File > Add To Library menu option and added the items again. It worked for me, maybe it wil work for you as well. You may end up needing to do all that, only to find out you need to re-download the titles from the iTunes Store again. Good luck.

PROBLEM TRANSFERRING VIDEO TO iPod TOUCH

I have converted a .avi video to .mp4 format and it works fine on iTunes. However, it will not function properly on the iPod Touch. How can I fix this? CAN I fix this??

NVM, disregard this post, I found out what went wrong and I fixed it. Everything is fine now.

Transfering videos from iPod 4th gen to Mac

Ok so I've read almost everywhere that 4th gen iPods have HD video. when I see my videos on mi iPod they look pretty good but I've unable to transfer them to my Mac so I had to e-mail each and every one of them, and they look HORRIBLE, and they're definitely not 720p x 480, they are actually 568 x 320.
The only reason I can think of is because they compress a lot in orden to fit in an e-mail, but there HAS to be a way to transfer them in their original HD format via USB cable, help please!

This sounds like an ipod touch question.
You should ask in the ipod touch forum.

Trouble transfering video to ipod

i bought an episode of laguna beach from iTunes and it won't transfer to my ipod. i emailed apple support group and its been over a week and they haven't emailed me back to help!!!! i can see it on my laptop, but it won't transfer to the freakin ipod.....PLEASE HELP ME!!!! any information would be appreciated. i'm really getting frustrated!!!!

Does it give you any error messages? Does the video play in iTunes? From time to time, there are errors in the content, and you will have to re-download the file.
Any info. is much appreciated,

Ipod touch 4 i can no longer watch movies, transferred to the ipod, on videos app it simply says loading and then stops. On my ipad mini with older ios it still works.

Ipod touch 4 i can no longer watch movies, transferred to the ipod, on videos app it simply says loading and then stops. On my ipad mini with older ios it still works. So how can I fix this I have tried converting videos into different formats but it will not work.
Is IOS 8 really appropriate with Ipod Touch 4, if the older Ipods do not have the capability then why are we prompted to install new operating systems.
Thanks.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all videos and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Mac programs for transferring video to an iPod

Hello everyone, first time poster
I just have a couple questions about iPod video. Sorry if I'm creating another thread about getting videos on it, but my questions just have not been fully answered in the other threads.
First off, I'm running Mac OS X version 10.4.3 on a 1.42 GHz eMac. So any programs that are suggested to me that run only on Windows or only show system requirements of Windows are of no use to me.
Now here are my questions.
1. How do I get videos on an iPod from a personal DVD? (i.e. movies I created on a single-write disc/re-writeable disc)
2. How do I get videos on an iPod from a commercially sold DVD? (i.e. any regular DVD you buy at Best Buy, etc.)
3. What format does the video need to be to get onto the iPod?
4. What is the best program, free or not, in transferring video to an iPod?
5. What is the best FREE program in transferring video to an iPod?
6. Can I download video from a file sharing program (who will remain nameless) then transfer that video to an iPod?
7. Can I change the format name of a video file that may not play on an iPod (say .wmv a file) to a format name that WILL play on an iPod (I assume it's .mpeg-4)?
8. How do I transfer video from iMovie to an iPod?
9. If I buy my iPod at a regular Apple Store (not the online store), get the AppleCare Protection Plan for it, and if a problem arises with the iPod and I take it to the store for support, will I not be serviced based on the content of my iPod?
Again, sorry if these questions have already been asked and answered, but I just feel better that my own personal questions have been answered, and I don't have to tag on other questions to a different thread.

1. Handbrake
2. Handbrake
3. From the iPod tech specs:
"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"
4. iTunes
5. iTunes
6. Yes, assuming you convert it first to a supported format. Use iSquint.
7. You can't just change the file extension, you have to actually convert it. Use iSquint
8. export a quicktime movie, then use either Quicktime Pro or iSquint to convert it.
9. No. The content of your iPod will have no bearing on service (unless you install iPodLinux on it, which voids your warranty).

Transferring music from IPOD to Laptop

I no longer have access to the computer I originally set up my IPOD with. How do I get files to transfer from my IPOD classic (30GB)to my new computer? When I open the IPOD in My computer, I can find no music folder.

For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
Find out how to do that here.
How to copy iTunes purchases from an iPod or iPhone to a computer.
For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it is a little more involved than other methods.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola.
If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.
