Trouble getting video files into iPod Video

I am having trouble getting some video files onto my Video iPod.
Some videos will sync onto my iPod, some won't.
But, they are formatted the same way. And have the same extension.
The format for the files are:
Frame size: 320x240
Video: H.264
Audio: AAC
I see nothing in Quicktime's movie properties that is different between the videos that will, and will not transfer onto my iPod.
What do I need to change to make these files update onto my iPod?
thanks a mill!

Frame rate?

Trouble getting MP4 files into 30G IPOD

I have ripped a DVD into MP4 format but was unable to add it to ITUNES for transfer into my video IPOD. I am using a demo copy of CUCUSOFT converter software to experiment with. I have thought about buying QuickTime 7.0 but have heard nothing about it regarding ease of use etc.

Johnathan,
I have attempted to drag the file into ITUNES Video section as well as create a playlist and drop it in. Neither has worked and I don't receive any errors, the file just doesn't appear. The file resides on my hard drive as an MP4 file but I can't do anything with it.

I can't import files into Ipod video, and can't view it on 'My Computer"

this is funny, i can't view the ipod icons in 'my computer'. In other verisions of ipods, it is possible, but not this one. I was going to put files into my ipod, games, and other stuff. But it won't work. Can't even upload the folder from I-tunes

Plug in your iPod.
In: edit->preferences->ipod, make sure that 'Enable Disk Use' is checked.
You can't put games on your iPod, at least not games that will run on your iPod.

Transfering MPEG-4 video file to ipod video

I just got the new video ipod and its amazing. but the set back is this stupid dependence on making the already quicktime file a special "ipod 320x240" file.
So i made a video in imovie and exported it in the special ipod ready format (just like the tutorial said to do when you get the error message when attempting to transfer a non-compatible video file from itunes to the ipod). the video is 4 mins long and it went on to the ipod fine and played perfectly. so today i finished up the video and now its a total of 13 mins long. i exported it the same way as i did to the first video that worked fine BUT now im getting the error message i get when the video hasn't been exported correctly. I KNOW I EXPORTED IT CORRECTLY. ITS IN MPEG-4 format and when i look at the icon of it on the desktop it has a itunes label to. (it looks exactly the same as the file i used before and worked)
it just doesnt make sense so i tried exprorting it through quicktime pro
SAME PROBLEM. i dont understand
please if anyone has any idea on what i can do THROW ME A FREAKIN BONE HERE!!

Am a bit confused here. Both Steve and COZY claim to have used the "Special iPod 320x240" option to create MPEG4 clips. The only problem is, the only iPod preset uses the H.264 codec and does produce a file icon with the iTunes overlay. Thus, if the file format is really standard MPEG4, then something appears to have gone wrong during compression.
If, on the other hand, the file was really exported to MPEG4 (or ISMA MPEG4), then questions arise as to specific user settings applied. For instance, neither Steve nor COZY mentioned their audio settings. Were, for instance, the streaming settings left turned on.
Thus, to determining what is really going on, you need to state the "real" audio and video formats, data rates for each, original, as well as, display settings, etc. as described in the "Show Movie Info" window.

Import asf file into ipod

How I can download asf file (Windows Media Audio/Video file) into ipod? thanks.
ipod mini Windows XP

I follow the link but I can't convert the asf file in my computer to mp3 file
Correct. This was already explained it is not possible using iTunes.
The link shows you how to convert WMA to an iPod format, just liked you asked.
If you want to convert AFS to an iPod format, you will have to find another converter (try google).
Also, you I highly recommend you convert to the much higher quality AAC and not MP3.

I'm trying to load video file into CS6 I keep getting error message: 'Could not complete you request because the DynamicLink Media Server is not available.' No Idea what to do next. Help please.

I'm using CS6 Extended. My OS is "Windows 7 home premium.
Can no longer load video files into CS6 for edited I keep getting error message:
'Could not complete your request because the DynamicLink Media Server is not available.'
Don't know what this means. Until just now I was able to load videos without any problems. Now I'm getting this message. Any thoughts?

Hi Mylenium,
upfront:
I hope I won't be marked as spam now, since I am posting on a few relevant discussions now to this topic.
However, I really would like to ask the people who have experienced this problem to see if they were able to solve it.
Now the real deal:
I posted a question in this discussionDynamicLink Media Server won't let me import video for video frames to layers anymore.
The linked discussion is a lot younger, which is why I posted there first.
I also put in information on the steps that I have tried and my computer specifications.
I am experiencing this problem for a while now and hope you and jones1351may be able to help out.

Getting Video Files onto iPod

I can't get audio or video files into iTunes from my computer. Please help!

Using Windows 7: My wife and I have seperate iTune accounts in our respective computer profiles. In my profile and iTune account, everything works fine. In my wife's account, she's always being asked to sign into iTunes as an administrator. Also, her account will not allow her to transfer music or video files into iTunes by drag and drop. If I click on "Add File to Library" or "Add Folder To Library", It will add the file but double it in the process so there are two of everything. And to make matters worse, when iTunes open in her profile, it changes the color of the Windows theme. Someone PLEASE help me. Thank you.

Am I correct in saying that the file is on your computer? Is it in a format that iTunes recognises?
If so, open iTunes, click on the small icon in the top left of the iTunes window and select Add File to Library. Navigate to the folder where the file is located and select it, click on Open. The song is now in your Library, but don't forget that the song's title, artist etc. will reflect the information within the file. So if the file did not have a song title or artist, it will appear in your iTunes as something like "Track 01", by "Unknown Artist".

Putting video files into itunes

I've tried again and again, but I cannot get my video files into itunes.
It wont work with my .avi files, my .wmv ones or anything apart from MPEGs.
If someone knows of some way I can convert my files into a compatible one, or any other options available to me?
Nick

iTunes (or Quicktime) doesn't play back avi's by default. There are some workarounds, which may or may not work (I have mixed experiences).
First of all, install Perian for Quicktime. This allows you to play most video&audio formats which QT doesn't play by default (except windows media & real media).
From here you have 3 options:
1. Install Xcode. Then, in terminal do this:
+SetFile -t "MooV" YourTarget.avi+
This tells your Mac that it's a movie. You'll have to navigate in terminal to your file though.
Then just drag & drop into iTunes.
*2. & 3.* Open your movie in Quicktime Pro and save it as a QuickTime Movie (either referenced or self-contained). There also is an "utility", movie2itunes, which does the referencing automatically & you don't need QT Pro. Again, just drag&drop into iTunes.
Note:
- Most of the time this works for me (I'm using movie2itunes). Recently I've gotten some files which don't work in iTunes, but do in QT.
- There is no such "cheat" for iPods, you'll have to convert.

.Avi video files to ipod

do you guys know if there's a way to convert avi files to ipod form. Is there a program that works for free, or does itunes work?

I've broken the code that lets you convert .avi files that works in itunes and updates to my video 30g ipod. Do not try to use quicktime pro 7. Go to www.videora.com and download version 0.91 (it's free, fast and actually works!) you can donate $$$ if you like. I did. Select CONVERT-transcode new video-browse for file. In the Quality Profile dropdown h264/320*240/256kbpsStereo/96kbps click start. From itunes file-add file to library-browse select. I tried to convert selection to ipod but it was already in proper format. Plug in your ipod (I use update video automatically)During ipod video playback choose tvoff or you will only get audio. It took me hours to figure out the puzzle because apple does not support .avi type files. I don't usually post, but I think this info will save everyone alot of valueable time and money.

Many CD's will include a DVD disc as well containing music videos. Is there a way to import these video files into iTunes as well as the music files?

I have a number of music CD's that also include a DVD which has music videos or concert movies. Is there a way to import these video files into iTunes as well?

wjosten - thanks very much for the detailed instructions. I'll try this as soon as I get my replacement and it looks like you'll probably end up getting the green tick

How do I import mp4 video files into Premiere Pro Cs4

For sometime now, I've been finding it practically impossible to import video files into premiere Pro cs4 especially mp4 files which happens to be the commonest to me now, as I currently shoot with a Nokia Lumia 920 phone with Windows phone 8 OS. I have tried severally to convert the videos into various other formats using Xilisoft video converter version 7.7.2 and each time I do this, they would either not play fine in cs4 or not import at all.
Please what can I do to be able to import these mp4 files into Cs4 or what format or how do I convert them into a format that would play seamlessly for better editing?
Funny enough, I had once imported video files that were shot with the same phone and they worked well, just wondering why they aren't now.
Please any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks
NKC

I'm happy to announce to you all that my "mp4 importing" issues has been sorted out. Now I import mp4 shot with the same Windows Phone 8 Device into Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. Only that for the moment, it doesn't play as fast as with ordinary player.
But how did I get it to work, you may wonder;
I simply installed Itunes on the system, I also installed an app called media monkey. I can't say which of the apps did the magic but the next time I tried to import mp4 files into Premiere Pro after these installations, it imported seamlessly.
Obviously there's a link between the required codecs and the itunes itself.
You may want to try it and hope it works for you.
Kindly inform us if it works.
Thank you all.
Cheers.

Converting video files to iPOD

I have an iPod 30Gig. When im converting video-files in iTunes to the format that the iPod can view, the player plays the files with no sound. I use the newest version of iTunes..does anybody know what to do to get sound when playing videofiles on my iPod??

hi terry!
hmmmm. let's try checking to see if it's all video files that you don't get sound on (in the ipod), or just ones from a particular source.
this document might be helpful with that:
