Trying to reformat videos to play on ipod

I just purchased a ipod video, i'm trying to import my old videos from my computer. I purchased the QT pro to help with this. I followed the instruction that I was given to reformat the files, but when I get to the progress bar i'm getting nothing. I've let the progress bar run for 5 and 1/2 hours and i'm just now at 30%. Please let me know if i'm doing something wrong, or if ther's a better way. By the way my OS is windows XP.

I found a free program that converts video to files compatible with the iPod video:

  • Video not playing on ipod

    i have many videos on my ipod including ones bought from itunes and ones that i magically put on myself. the other day my video was playing perfectly. then today i tried to play a tv show that i got off of itunes and it wont play. the play icon shows up in the corner of the screen for a second then dissapears and the screen is left black (like the video is loading) then my ipod proceeds to freeze when i hit any button. it is only with the tv show that i just got. all other videos are working fine except that show(even episodes i had prior to today) i thought that the update would help but it didnt. i havent had the same problem as everyone else though with it freezing after 30 seconds. why wont it work?

  • How to get videos to play on IPOD (what program to use)

    Hello folks,
    Quick question - how do I get just small music clip videos to play on my IPOD? I'm not even sure why I am asking this question since I have exported in "QT" to .mp4 but they are still not uploading.
    I downloaded "VisualHub" and the demo version is only 2minutes of video but I really don't have any more money to purchase any other stuff to get these videos to play so what do u suggest?
    Thanks,
    Joey Dee

    hey CG,
    Thanks for the reply, i did a search for this "Videora" and i found it to be only a windows program and I downloaded the file but it's .exe
    I have been trying to find a MAC version but I don't think its available - is there a way you can link me that file?
    Regards,
    Joey Dee

  • Purchased music and videos not playing on ipod!!!!

    I had an ipod and bought a video ipod recently. I forgot to put in the disc that came with the new ipod, and now all the songs and videos I bought from Itunes Music store wont play in my ipod. By wont play I mean I try to play it and it goes to a black screen, sometimes for 30 seconds. I have tried restoring my ipod but it did not work. Please help

    Did you update the firmware on the iPod? Supposibly if fixes a few bugs.

    If you didn't then try that. Believe me your problem is not with not using that CD as I never even popped the disk in my CD drive untill after I had updated my iPod as the software was outdated before it arrived at my house.

  • Downloading podcast videos - wont play on ipod

    I had a video that was from podcast which I could play on the itune version 6 but why didn't it play or download onto my ipod when I tried to download it to my ipod.
    Thank you
    Merry Crimbo to everyone!!!

    I can only watch it on itunes and there is no way that I can sync the video podcast only if I am downloaded the episods and it is a show that people are talking in.
    I am also trying to put a radio station on my ipod. But I only have it on my itunes. Is there a way to put it on the ipod. I have tried drag and drop it to my icon ipod but that did not work. I think you have to buy the radio station. Also, does anyone have a link in podcast for an english radio station for powerfm. I know the web site its www.powerfm.com but I want it so that I can have it on my ipod. PLEASE HELP!!!!!
    I have a 60GB colour screen and it has a turn wheel. If that is what it is called.

  • Converting Video to play on iPod

    I have a Windows system with XP Media Center software. I am trying to take shows recorded and convert them to play on my video iPod. Recorded shows are saved with a *.dvr-ms extension. Is there any way to convert this to an iPod-ready format? I tried Videora iPod Converter, but after 2+ hours trying to convert over a 1/2 hour show, I gave up. Has anyone else done this? Any tips?

  • Getting video to play on ipod

    Hi.
    I'm trying to play a movie on my ipod 30g. I can get vid onto ipod, and it will play the audio but not the video. Tried the four R's, nothing worked. The vid works fine in iTunes, but i do get an error message now and again in iTunes telling me I have a corrupt ipod_control file which is "unreadable".
    I ran a repair on itunes which said it had been successfully healed but problems persists.
    I'm new to ipod, and not very program-literate, so clear and (very!) foolproof instructions would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • ITunes Purchased Music/Videos Not Playing On iPod

    Hi All..
    Long time reader, first time 'post-er'..
    I have a problem that is starting to annoy me.. All my purchased music and videos from iTunes will play in iTunes and transfer to the ipod, but when I go into play these from the iPod.. It starts to play (on videos the black screen comes up) then just jumps back to the menu.
    My videos that I have converted from DVD are perfect, and songs I have imported are also perfect.. Its just everything from iTunes wont play on my iPod.. But I obviously cant convert my iTunes videos because they are protected.. To get my purchased music on my iPod I need to burn and import.. Annoying isnt it?!
    Anyone have any ideas??? Would be very much appreciated!!

  • Error message when trying to put videos on my 30G ipod video

    Every time I try to put videos from iTunes onto my ipod I get an error message saying that the video "could not be copied onto "Brennen's Ipod" because it cannot be played on this iPod".

    Hey AJS4862,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you are having trouble installing iTunes on Windows. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.

  • Trying to covert video for play on IPhone

    i downloaded a couple of music videos, not from itunes. i can't drag it into my iphone for play without converting it, so i converted it. after i converted it and put it in my iphone, only video w/ no audio? how do i get the audio to work?
    thanks

    I use VisualHub to convert videos for playback on the iPhone.
    Another great app is CosmoPod. You can download and convert Flash videos (like from YouTube) on-the-fly. It formats them perfectly for the iPhone.

  • Can't get videos to play in iPod.

    I used Quicktime Pro 7 to convert videos of other formats to the mpeg-4 (.mp4) and the ipod .m4u format, both of which should work as they are the formats supported. However, I get a blank white screen when I try to play the videos on the ipod, although the sound comes through-- not the video.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Try this. Go to video-->video settings-->TV Out-->Off
    Does that help?

    On your iPod from the main menu, go to Video -> Video Settings. In the 'video settings' highlight 'tv out' and click the select button until 'tv out' is set to 'off.' Then, press the 'menu' button to go backwards and try to play the video again.
    Hope this is helpful

    i have not used this application personally, I use handbrake and instant handbrake on OS X.
    iTunes does not handle any of the video format conversions, it simply adds the metadata to its database for playback.

  • Converting videos to play on ipod video

    I can export my videos to the correct format using the latest Quicktime Pro, but there is no sound when I play them back on the ipod. Any ideas?

    QT will not export the sound from muxed mpeg-1 or mpeg-2 files and will not play or export variable bit rate mp3 sound in avi files. Try this freeware for converting those kinds of files:
