Trouble sync a HD movie into my iPod classic

I purchased a HD movie And i cant sync it into my iPod classic is theme a way a can do that

High Definition (HD) content is not compatible with your iPod Classic. You'll need to sync the SD version of the video to your iPod instead. See this article for more details.

You can only sync everything with your one syncing computer/iTunes library. Yu can:
- Make this your syncing computer by:
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
- Use the manual method to copy music and videos from any computer/iTunes library to the iPod. See the manual method included here:

- You do have iTunes version 11 on the computer, right. Saying the latest is not sufficient.
- Have you tried everthing here:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- You should
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
Your library/media will not be affected.
- Does the iPod charge?

Why not? What happens when you try? How are you trying to sync them or do you manually manage your iPod's content? Are you getting any specific error messages from iTunes?

Why can't i put a movie on my iPod Classic?

All of a sudden, I can't put a movie on my iPod Classic! We've been transferring .mp4 and .mv4 movies to it and then playing them on our home TV setup for years . . . and now I keep getting the message "This movie was not copied to the iPod because it cannot be played on this iPod!"
What?
We've reformatted/restored the iPod with the latest software version a couple of times now, but to no avail. Same message every time.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I think I've found the problem here and its solution:
I use Handbrake 0.9.5 (mostly) to re-encode avi movies (and the like) for transfer to my Classic. When I launch that application, the default translation preset is "Regular/Normal." And therein lies the problem, for "Regular" most certainly does not work on the iPod Classic! It does for my MacBook Pro, to be sure, but NOT for my old iPod.
However, the moment I select "Apple/iPod" as the preferred encoding preset, a check mark immediately appears in the small "iPod 5G Support" box . . . which is NOT checked when "Regular/Normal" is the default. Eureka!
Now I have no problems moving movies to my Classic. Nobody's at fault here . . . I just had to look a little closer at the available options.

Can I play a movie from my ipod classic onto my ipad screen?

I have a 160 GM ipod classic that holds all my movies. I would like to buy a 16 GM ipad 3 but I know it won't be able to hold my movies. Can I stick with the 16 GB ipad 3 but play my movies on it from my ipod classic? I want to buy a wifi ipad and not a 4G one so when I'm driving in the car and I want to show movies to my kids in the back I won't be able to access the icloud or dropbox, etc. Can I connect my movies from my ipod classic directly to the ipad with a cord to watch them on the ipad?

So if I want to be able to watch all my movies or listen to all 50 GB of my songs I'll need to buy a more expensive 32 or 64 GB ipad and shuffle movies and songs in and out of it or else use the wifi and iCloud. Is that correct? There's no way the ipad can access an external hard drive?

Try disabling any and all A/V or Security software being used by your system and see if that helps.

Trouble Combining 2 QT Movies Into One

Help! I have QT Pro but this is driving me nuts! I am using select all, copy and then paste to combine 2 separate 20 second QT movies into one 40 second consolidated movie. The trouble is that when the play head reaches the beginning of the second movie, it continues to advance, but the sound and motion simply stop at the end of Move 1 and beginning of Movie 2.
I think it may have something to do with the little tabs that slide back and forth for include, exclude but I'm not sure. Also, when I select all and then try to use the "Copy" command, its grayed out. I have to click on either one of the first or second movies before "Copy" becomes available to me. Something is going on but I can't figure it out, despite several hours of "playing with it", checking the forums here and calling Tech Support at Apple.
Yikes! has anybody else run into this before?

By the way, I think I got 2 of these cotton picken files to join together seamlesy last night. I need to kind of confirm that and (if I can double check and then replicate my success) will explain how.Would be interested in seeing the result. Streamclip should provide best results for two reasons -- 1) it allows "near" (if not frame-level) setting of in/out points (unlike QT which only operates at specific GOP intervals of MPEG-1/2 content and 2) it allows you to "fix" timecode breaks that can wreak havoc in QT playback.
Normal procedure would be:
1) Load, trim file segments if needed, and re-save raw files using the "Save as..." option in case of "accidents" later (I usually name the files so they appear in the order I wish to merge them) Don't have to do this but I tend to be "accident" prone
2) Use the "Open Files..." option to navigate to your "safe" files and load them as a group to Streamclip work area
3) Use "Fix timecode breaks" option (Command-F) to remove any possible timecode breaks between/within segments
4) Use "Save As..." option again to save the "merged" data file
You mentioned an interest in old TV shows, my favorite is Bonanza.My "biggie" is the original Doctor Who series. However, am also collecting the old Supeman (George Reeves) shows, The Avengers, Space Patrol, Commando Cody, Tom Corbett, as well as, things like the old Flash Gordon serials and SciFi "B" classic movies from the 50's and 60's. Heare's a SAMPLE FILE.

Saving two iPod-compatible movies into one iPod-compatible movie?!?

This is baffling me...Why can't I simply take two iPod-compatible MP4 videos, paste them together, and SAVE it as a self-contained movie which is iPod-compatible?? QT Player 7.0.4 Pro forces you to save the self-contained movie as ".mov" and if you try to change the extension afterwards, QT Player refuses to open it. At any rate, it won't transfer to the iPod either. I realize I can always re-encode as an iPod compatible movie but that's pretty time-consuming (plus I worry about further compression reducing the quality unneccessarily)! Is there an easier way?
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6) QT 7.0.4 Pro

The video iPod can play the .mov file extension as long as the specs for it are not exceeded.
Your "pasted" .mp4 or .m4v files are just in a .mov container. No edits or changes to the codecs used. The two "joined" files should work just fine on the iPod (assuming they worked properly prior to joining them together).

Unable to synch itune movie to my ipod classic

Hello -
I recently bought an ipod classic, but it will not sync my purchased movie. I've noticed the movie has an exclamation mark beside it. When I checked my itunes file; the movie downloaded to a "Downloads Folder", is there something wrong?

Yes, it should be in your iTunes folder. The ! next to the song indicates that iTunes has lost track of where that movie file is located.
Move it to your iTunes folder and you should have no trouble syncing it.

QT "invalid public movie atom" problem - iPod Classic

I encountered a strange "invalid public movie atom" problem relating to my brand new iPod classic (80GB):
I used QTpro 7.4.1(14) to convert several movie/avi files for iPod (the standard procedure via the offered converting methods).
After copying them to the iPod via iTunes, they showed flawlessly on the iPod and i was also able to watch them on my TV.
Then i converted another file, copied it to iPod and tried to start the video, the result was a fuzzy green screen (like some encountered it with the album art) and the the iPod crashed (restarting automatically with the grey apple-logo screen).
I did this a second time, it crashed, and after restarting again, i tried it with one of the videos that worked fine before. One of them then caused the same problem, green fuzzy screen, restarting automatically!
When i tried to open these two files mentioned with QT from the movies folder in my iTunes library, i got the "invalid public movie atom" message and, well, the videos don´t play anymore. (keep in mind, they played before!)
Important: i did a clean install about two weeks ago, installing all updates (OSX, QT, iPod, etc.) before doing anything else. The first videos im talking about are older, but worked well after the cleaninstall/update procedure was done. Since then nothing was changed and now suddenly the problem appears?!
Some thoughts: i read here in other posts that A the iPod sometimes crashes because of that "album art problem", but that doesn´t have anything to do with video?! B since it worked before (the last days since i did the clean install) the bug , or whatever it is, "appeared" based on another issue?
Thx :-/
Hardware/Software involved: PowerMag G5 dual 2GHz., iPod Classic 80GB, OSX 10.5.2, QT 7.4.1(14), iTunes 7.6.1(9), iPod 1.1.1

There is a little piece of code that tells iTunes which movies can be played on iPod. It is called the iPod Atom. If you have a movie that is fully compatible with iPod BUT doesn't have this atom, it just won't sync regardless the movie can actually be played by the iPod. I have been having trouble with these little bastards myself...
My guess on your problem is that the converted movies weren't 100% compatible with your iPod but they had the atom so they synced. Some AVI movies plays partially on QT.
May I suggest that you instal Perian which adds a lot of codec handlers to Quicktime and try to re-encode some of them.
On my side, I have been trying to find how to insert the aforementioned iPod Atom on movies that have already been encoded so I don't have to re-encode them again... But that's my personal quest. Good Luck!

Watch a movie on my iPod classic?

I have a movie on a DVD, and want to load it onto my iPod (classic) so that I can watch it on my iPod. Can I import this movie into iTunes and then synch it to my iPod, or load it in some/any other manner onto my iPod??? THANKS!

Just in case you're talking about a DVD of home movies or other video disks that have no licensing restrictions on them I'd like to point you to some software possibilities.
You could use DVD Fab which is a fully functional product and does full reading/conversion for you. If you go and buy it ensure you get the "mobile" option.
A free software product that is very good too is Handbrake. It will read the disk and convert it to any number of formats.
Both products have profiles you can use to have the media properly formatted for the screen size you'll be viewing them on.

Can I play digital copies of movies on my iPod classic?

I recently downloaded my digital copy of a movie that came with my DVD-blu ray combo pack. The movie shows up in my library, but when I try to transfer it to my new iPod classic, it says it can't transfer it becasue it can't play on this iPod. Does this mean that all digital copies can't play on this iPod? Help!
