Video Converters for ipod

I need to convert video files to a format which itunes and ipod supports. Does all the software available on the web has to purchased? I don't own a visa!!
Thanks

Hi i want to share my experience with you, you need to convert your dvd or video to the correct format first, ipod only support h264 and mpeg4 encoded format, i am using cucucsoft ipod suite, it works good for me, it can not only directly convert dvds to mp4, but also can convert avi, wmv,asf, xvid, rm, rmvb etc to mp4, it's easy and fast to use, highly recommended if you are looking for such a converter, i get it from http://www.ipodtechies.com/viewtopic.php?p=49#49
, cucucsoft is the best for windows and handbrake is for mac.you can purchase the full version after the free trial.

Here's a way to quickly compute - max h264 video resolution for iPod

Here's a VB Script I wrote to quickly compute the maximum dimensions you can encode an h264 video in for playback on your iPod video. It works on the principal that iPods can handle a maximum of 230400 pixels, and also accounts for Videora's stipulation that width/height must be in multiples of 16. Very easy to use, you simply supply the original width and height of your source video, and it tells you what dimensions you should encode to in order to maximize resolution. This is mainly of use for those who wish to playback videos on a TV, as anything above 320x240 won't look any better on the iPod itself. Copy and past this into a text file with the extension ".vbs" and then double click it. Windows only, sorry Mac people.
origx = InputBox("Original Width", "Original Width")
origy = InputBox("Original Height", "Original Height")
xequals = origx / origy
newy = sqr((230000)/xequals)
newx = newy * xequals
newy = 16 * (round((newy/16), 0))
newx = 16 * (round((newx/16), 0))
msgbox ("Make your video: " & newx & " x " & newy & vbcrlf & vbcrlf & "Total pixels: " & (newy*newx))

To do the same thing on a Mac, open the Script Editor in the /Applications/AppleScript folder and paste in the following:
display dialog "What is the original width?" buttons {"Cancel", "Enter"} default button "Enter" default answer ""
set origx to text returned of the result as number
display dialog "What is the original height?" buttons {"Cancel", "Enter"} default button "Enter" default answer ""
set origy to text returned of the result as number
set xequals to origx / origy
set newy to (230000 / xequals) ^ 0.5
set newx to newy * xequals
set newy to 16 * (round (newy / 16))
set newx to 16 * (round (newx / 16))
display dialog ("Make your video: " & newx & " x " & newy & return & return & "Total pixels: " & (newy * newx))
Press the Run button and enter the original size when prompted.

What is the best working video size for Ipod Touch 4G?

I have tried 960x640 or 720x480 with the aspect set to 3:2 when converting.
But itunes keeps telling me that they dont work on my ipod so I have to convert them again.
Please someone tell me how to put videos on my ipod while keeping the best quality possible.

How are you converting? Presets for Handbrake are available for the iPad and iPhone 4 and should work for the 4G iPod. See:

Syncing Apple TV without duplicating video intended for iPod

I am converting video for both Apple TV and iPod with iTunes. How do you prevent Apple TV from syncing the converted files intended for iPod to avoid two copies of the same video displayed on the TV set?

I have 601 video items at the moment in my master iTunes library. Many of them, but not all, are duplicated -- once for iPod and once for tv. Every movie now has a comment field containing "iPod Codec" or "AppleTV" or both as in "iPod Codec / AppleTV".
Then I built two sets of smart playlists, using this field as a filter along with my other smart playlist rules.
Each device is configured to only pick up the proper playlists, and voila!
Just be sure you're showing the "Comments" field in your iTunes view options, so you'll know if you missed adding text to one of your movies.

How to change video format for iPod touch

please can anyone tell me how to convert my .avi files to the format that will play on my iPod touch!
I've managed to convert a couple in iTunes but the rest of the files won't import to iTunes so I can't use that converter!
I've also tried something called MPEG streamclip but that keeps telling me there's an invalid frame rate and won't work!
Any ideas please, the only reason I bought the 32gb was so I could watch my videos!
Thanks

On a MAC use iSquint to do your conversion. Get it from version tracker. It's free and fantastic. It will also convert flash (.flv) and .mov files.
One thing to remember is that the default is video scaled for the iPod Classic/video which is smaller than the iPoT. So the settings should be "Optimize for iPod" Quality "High" "H.264 Encoding" then select "advanced" enter 480 in the width and whatever pixel height is required to keep the aspect ratio the same as the original .avi movie. e.g.:
496 x 272 = 480 x 264
512 x 208 = 480 x 196
512 x 216 = 480 x 203
512 x 288 = 480 x 271
528 x 288 = 480 x 260

Apple developer notes on video format for iPod, Apple TV and iPhone

I have been doing a bit of searching on information for converting video for the Apple TV and came across this web-page which contains technical information of converting video for the iPod, Apple TV and iPhone.
If you are after information on bitrates, b-frames, levels, profiles, low-complexity, etc. then this may help:
http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2007/tn2188.html
What is interesting to note, whilst 5Mbps is the maximum bitrate, the Apple TV supports spikes up to 12Mbps.
Happy reading and please feel free to add more links to useful information on the video format for the Apple TV.

I have downloaded the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix - Trailer #2 .mov file and this streams quite happily on the Apple TV. This has a total bitrate of 6505Kbps and an audio bitrate of 192Kbps @ 48KHz and video 23.98fps @ 1280x544.
So, according to the Apple TV spec., the audio is well above 160Kbps and the video bitrate is well above 5Mbps. So why does it play at all on the Apple TV let alone stream without stuttering? Maybe its because the video height is 544 rather than the full 720, but why does the Apple TV get to see it?
I don't know the answers, just offering this as an example of a video that is freely available for anyone to try out which clearly exceeds some of the maximum specs for the Apple TV.
Has anyone found or got anything that beats this?

Video Player for Ipod Classic

Does anyone know if there are any portable video players compatible with the new Ipod Classics? I got a good deal on a Sonic Impact V55 player, but when I received it I soon found out that my new 80gb classic would not work on it. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bruce

Nope, thanks MPAA. See here: http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/news/comments/apple-locks-tv-out-in-new-ipods-b reaks-video-add-ons/
The Apple Store does list the MyVue goggle things as compatible, so you can watch videos on your ipod, look like lawnmower man and get a wicked headache all at the same time.

[Windows] Video conversion for iPod Touch on 2.0

I have recently purchased an iPod Touch 16Gb - cost £242 -, on software version 1.1.4. Immediately installing the latest iTunes (7.7.1.11) with Quicktime (7.5 Build 861), I upgraded the Software version to 2.0. Cost £6.99
Then I went to transfer videos I had on my Nano to my new Touch, and gave me the error:
"Some of the songs or videos in your iTunes library, including "xxxxxxx", were not copied to the iPod "xxxxxxxx iPod" because they cannot be played on this iPod."
So I did some googling and saw that Quicktime could be upgraded to Pro to transcode videos for the iPod. So £24.99 later, tried to save the videos and got the same error. I'm a bit miffed now.
More googling and got the Jodix Ipod converter download - free. Converted into a format Quicktime recognises, added into iTunes and still gives the same error.
So I have paid nearly £280 (est. $500) for hardware / software which wont do the job its built for... Any Questions?

Strangely enough, I have managed to get my videos working. The solution to the problem at the mo is to use low-quality videos. I encoded my videos at 1500kbps, after transcoding them down to 700kbps they seem to run fine and no further converting in iTunes needed. Interesting, seems Apple don't want us putting our own videos on at a HD watchable bit rate - nice.

Video format for ipod classic 30gb

Hi,
I've just bought a music video from the iTunes Store, but, when I try putting it on my older click wheel 30gb Ipod Classic, iTunes tells me it wasn't copied to the Ipod because it cannot be played on the Ipod. I checked the music video's format and found out it was m4v. Could that be the source of the problem? If so, do I have to convert it to mp4 or something similar? And how do I do that?
Any advice or help?

A 30GB iPod that plays video is a 5th gen iPod. NOTE: The 4th gen "classic" iPod with color display may also be 30GB, but those iPods cannot play videos.
Video format may be an issue, because the first iPod with video capability had a lower limit for video resolution. And if the video is "HD," that video is too high-res for even a new iPod classic.
NOTE: You can convert videos in iTunes using the command
menu bar -> File -> Create New Version -> Create iPod or iPhone Version
but that command is disabled for videos that use DRM (copy protection). A purchased video (such as a musiuc video) from the iTunes Store uses DRM. For purchased videso that are HD, you may be entitled to also download the SD (standard definition) version at no cost. The SD version may play on your iPod.

Sonic Impact Video 55 for Ipod

I bought this Sonic Impact Video 55 player for my dad for Father's Day for his Ipod (80GB) and he is having trouble seeing the videos on the screen. The sound is great he says, but he can't see the video. He did everything according to the manual, but he's still having problems.
Any suggestions on what to do?

Try this.
On your iPod go to "Videos / Video Settings".
Then select "TV Out" and either set it to "off" or "ask".
Also, make sure you are accessing the video through the videos menu. If you have a video mixed in an audio playlist and you access it through that, you also won't be able to see the video.

Convert WMV to a video format for iPod?

Hello,
I have a WMV recording of a Microsoft Live Meeting event. It is 1.5 hours in length, about 31MB and 4 fps. I need to convert it to a video format that can be played on a video iPod. When I try to export as MP4 from Premiere Pro CS4, the file size really balloons. What settings can I use to keep the file size similar to that of the WMV?
Thanks.

Hi,
You could try using the Apple iPod Video Small preset in AME under H.264 format after customizing the Target Bitrate and Maximum Bitrate. Try reducing these bitrate values. You could use the Estimated File Size that shows up at the bottom of the AME Settings UI as a rough guide to the final file size.To change the bitrate values, first launch AME Settings UI by clicking on the Settings button in AME batch after selecting the batch item.
Hope this helps. Thanks.

HT2729 Use videos converted for iPod Nano 5G for iPod Touch 4G?

I have an iTunes library full of videos that work with my iPod Nano 5th generation. I was thinking if they would work with an iPod Touch 4th generation, which I have researched and seems that it would not need any converting, but what about the difference in screen size?

Never mind I feel like an idiot posting that.
