Trouble getting videos on my IPod

I copied several movies to my computer, in MP4 format. When I try to get them on my IPod however, "not copied because the video format is not supported" comes up. What format is it talking about?

thanks sender
but something very strange occured : I put my video on itunes, I converted it for ipod, I was so able to put it on my ipod, I can read it from the ipod when the ipod is "in" itunes (even if the video is no more in the itunes library)
but when the ipod is no more linked to itunes, I can see the video in it but I cannot read it
I really do not understand
I am wondering if it is a question of weight of the video - it is a 2 hours movie
are we limited in videos ? and if yes, what is the maximum allowed ?
many thanks for your help (and sorry for my English, I hope you can understand easily ....)

  • 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?

  • STILL can't get Videos into 5G iPod I give up I'm bringing it back

    I have the Black 30GB, after a week of trying iSquint , Handbrake ,Movies for my iPod and now MPEG Streamclip I still can't get videos in my iPod . I give up, it's scratched to bits and I handle it with extreme care . This was the worst $300.00 I've ever spent .

    I had trouble with that too, but figured it out. Here are some things to check:
    1.) Preferences in iTunes with the iPod connected. I put mine on automatic update of all podcasts, just to make sure nothing is missed.
    2.) On the iPod, go to Settings > Main Menu > Videos > On
    3.) On the iPod, got to Videos > Video Settings > TV Out OFF, Widescreen OFF, TV Signal (in US is NTSC, in Europe is PAL).
    After I configured #3, all worked. I'm not sure the widescreen setting makes a difference, but I do know the TV settings do.
    I think you won't have any problems if you go down this checklist. Too bad they don't mention it in Apple support.

  • STILL can't get Videos into 5G iPod , Ready to throw it out the window

    I'm ready to throw this iPod out the window , I spent all day yesterday over 10 hours , trying to get videos onto my iPod , my iPod software and iTunes are up tp date , first I just drag and dropped them as MPEG no luck iTunes recognized and played them but wouldn't let me drag and drop them to the iPod then I used iSquint , it converted them to MPEG 4 , they transferd into iTunes and played but not the iPod I got an error that they weren't transferable and not recognized by the iPod .
    I called Appe this morning and they were no help since I didn't get the Vid's from the appple store and since you only get one free service call ,and wouldn't tell me the format for the videos I didn't want to waste it . They suggested I buy Quicktime Pro .
    Then I tried , Movies For My iPod . I used the transfer for iPod option , it converted them to .mp4.m4v . I drag and dropped them directly to the iPod no luck , they're there but wont play or show up in the iPod then I opened up iTunes and drag and droppped them into iTunes again played in iTunes not transfered to the iPod although it said it was updating .
    Then ,I tried the custom settings file format MP4 , video format , MPEG-4 Improved , Image Size 320 X 240 QVGA , again I tried to drag and drop them onto the iPod still not there , now I tried to drag and drop unto iTunes , again they're there and play but won't show up on the iPod . I've pretty much had it .
    In the Movies For MY iPod they're are some custom settings . File Format MP4(ISMA) In the Video there is an MPEG-4 Improved setting with a bit rate of 256 kbits/sec Image size 320x 240 QVGA frame rate 30 plus alot of other settings which I have no idea what they are .
    Today I have 6 hours of frustration into this still no luck . I'm really disappointed with Apple ,I started out with the first iMac a Bondi Blue and have been working my way up , I have an iBook , an iMac Graphite , a G4 iMac a 15G 3G iPod now the 5G iPod . Apple should have included Quick Time pro in the G5 , and only one support call, come on , even Dell gives you a year of support .
    And to top it all off the Black is beautiful but scratches easily , I'm a chef , my nails very short and allready it's scratched to bits by the wheel, I keep it in a case when I'm playing it , you can hardly touch it . I'm not very happy with Apple and this iPod , they rushed it out for the holiday , so if your in the jacksonville Florida area look for a flying iPod .

    Lets run down a list of possibilities:
    1) You are using iTunes 6 here, correct?
    2) You did not say whether or not you are running in auto-sync, manual management, or "Enable Disk" mode. If you left it in the default mode as installed (auto-sync), then after dropping your movies into iTunes (or adding them to the Library), simply connect your iPod and allow it to auto-sync (mirror) the current contents of iTunes. (You can also try "Update iPod" option under the File menu, but I have found it unreliable -- possibly owing to "sleeping" iPod.)
    3) Not sure if your reference to "dropping the movie on the iPod" is a reference to the iPod desk icon in manua/disk enabled mode or the iPod "Source" reference/associaed contents list in iTunes. Could you clarify where you are attempting to "drag 'n drop" and/or the selected sync mode of operation in your iPod Preferences.
    4) As to conversion to iPod compatible formats, recommend you stick with MoviesForMyPod and/or iSquint if you are restricted to QT Pro 6 and not sure what settings to use for MPEG4 preset collection/QuickTime Movie full manual mode.

  • Cannot get videos onto 60GB Ipod

    Simple question, how do I get videos over to my 60GB Ipod? Very simply Itunes does not let me drag videos onto my ipod device, where it's listed on the left side. The videos are converted and in the proper format for the Ipod.
    I got it to work once, but I cannot seem to get it to work anymore.
    Just got it today, this thing really does not play well with my PC as I've had many problems updating it right out of the box.

    I was having trouble adding some videos to my ipod, and they were ones with really long titles and/or other characters in the title.
    When I shortened the title, for some reason, they went on right away.
    Don't ask me why, I found this out by accident.
    Worth a try, right?

  • How to get videos off my ipod back on my computer

    I have to send my ipod back to have it fixed or replaced and Some of the videos I put on my ipod I deleted out of I tunes because my computer has a lack of space for all of it. I told the representative on the phone this and she told me someone online could tell me how to get videos off of my ipod and back on to my computer.

    also, i don't know if you know this. is it possible to take my ipod into the apple store to have them fix it or replace it or do I have to mail it off. I didn't buy it at the apple store i bought it at circuit city.

  • How the heck do i get videos on my ipod???

    I know it sounds like a dumb question...but how do i download them to the hardrive and then get them on the ipod?
    Thanks in advance,

    You need a 3rd party converter to convert the file with both audio and video.
    See this for help: Guide to converting video for iPod (Mac/Windows).

  • Trouble with Videos on my iPod. Please Help?

    Hello,
    I am hoping someone out there can help me. I have what I thought was simply called an iPod Video, but I guess it now refereed to as a fifth generation iPod. When I first got it, I was excited to be able to watch videos on my iPod. When I tried to put videos on it, it told me my OS X was out of date. I had to buy OS X Tiger in order to put videos on it. That worked and I was happy. Now to advance my story to the present. I can no longer watch my videos on my iPod or even on my iTunes. When I try to sync the videos to the iPod, I get this message:
    “Some of the videos in your iTunes library, including the video (Video Title) were not copied to the iPod (iPod Name) because they cannot be played on this iPod.”
    That message makes no sense because it is an iPod video and I have watched those videos on it before. I only have five videos and all but one was downloaded from the iTunes Store. And like I said earlier, they will not even play in my iTunes window either anymore.
    Can someone Please Help Me?
    My Mac: PowerMac G4
    OS X: 10.4.10
    iTunes: 7.4.2 (4)
    iPod: 60gb 1.2.1

    Hello,
    Thank you for the reply. I had QuickTime 7.0.4 on my Mac and I just upgraded it to 7.2.0. That did the trick for allowing me to watch my videos on my computer through iTunes, but I still get the same annoying error message that will not allow me to put them on my iPod. What is really annoying is all these movies were on my iPod and then one day when I put in my iPod to sync my music, it took off the videos and gave me the above message.

  • Can't get videos to 60GB iPod Video

    So a few days ago, I updated to iTunes 7.0 and Firmware 1.2. All my videos are in an MPEG-4 format, and now I can't get them to my iPod. They all used to play, but I restored it and now they won't even go on to the iPod. I've also got got it set to manage music and videos manually. I tried to use iTunes to convert it to see if that would help, but when it converts, the new file doesn't appear. And I've been looking back on other topics and it has mentioned the converter called Videora, so I checked that out, but it says it only supports Windows. So how do I get my videos to my iPod?
    Thanks in advance.

    Are these music videos located under Videos on your iPod?  Do it play other regular movies (if you have any on the device)?

  • CAN'T get videos on my ipod although there on itunes.......

    when i try to add a video to my ipod (30GB) it says that some files such as (name here) could not be copied to this ipod because they can not be played on this ipod what do i do??? im totally lost help anyone someone.. thanks in advance!!

    First of all, are your video files .mp4 files? If not you can do one of two things. One, you can buy or download and conversion program, or two, you can cheat and do what I did. (If you run on windows xp)
    1. Save the files on your computer somewhere. If it is more than one file, save all of the files in a new folder.
    2. Go to my computer and find your files.
    3. Rename them so that you know what order they go in (most of the time if you get the files off of a DVD you have somewhere around 50 files that say Titleo1_01Chapter01, or something like that) and make sure that at the end of the name you put .mp4 ex) The Phantom of the Opera.mp4
    You may loose some of the quality, but since it will be playing on a small screen, you won't notice it very much.
    4. Go to itunes and click on your ipod in the source list.
    5. Check “Manually Manage Music and Videos”. (If you haven't updated yet, right-click on your iPod in the source list, and select Preferences. Then go to the iPod tab, and select “manually Manage Music and Videos.”)
    6. Click movies in the source list.
    7. Click file, and select "add file" or "add folder". This depends on whether it is a bunch of files in a folder, or one file.
    8. Now the file/files should be appear in the movie tab. Drag and drop it/them onto your iPod.
    NOTE: YOU HAVE SELECTED MANUALY MANAGE MUSIC AND MOVIES. THIS MEANS THAT YOU MUST EJECT YOUR IPOD BEFORE DISCONECTING IT. To do this click the eject icon next to your iPod in the source list.

    i click "get", and it starts to download and about half way through, up comes and error reporting message.
    The message has two options "send error report", and "dont send" ive tried both but niether will let itunes continue with download, so idk what to do.
    thanks
    -billy

    Well... only those type of error occur when iTunes has failed or crashed. What version of iTunes are you running? I have had no problems with Videos, Music, or Video Podcasts... but your problem could lie within these factors:
    1. iTunes is out of date?
    2. Internet Connection disconnected?
    3. Too many programs running? (Not enough system resources - RAM)
    4. There was another one but I lost it... :-P
