Basic forum etiquette, search before posting. Of course a simple google search would have easily revealed the information as well.

What video format will iTunes accept?

I want to add some videos to my music video library. What format will iTunes accept and play? I am not concerned about playing them on an iPod so I would like a little better resolution than the standard for the iPod. Help!!!

Perhaps this will provide the information you need:
Adding, Browsing, and watching videos in iTunes
Hope it helps.

Video formats that iTunes/iPods will read?

Trying to figure out all the formats that both iTunes and iPods will read when used with Podcasting that involves video. I've tried .m4bm, which doesn't work when clicking on the small screen to get a bigger view. All I get is a single frame. I've also tried converting to .mov and that doesn't work on the iPod. Thanks in advance.

iTunes and iPod (Video) will read:
.mov
.mp4
.m4v
Just to clarify, videos with an .mp4 or .m4v suffix are the same - both can be opened by QuickTime Player and iTunes. The only difference is that double-clicking a .mp4 will (by default) open it in QuickTime Player while double-clicking a .m4v will open in iTunes.
It's not possible to make assumptions about a .mov file and it isn't really a "video format". Think of it as an envelope that can contain many different types of media formats. For example a Windows Media Video track in a .mov container can be played by QuickTime Player (using a free plug-in) but this won't work on the iPod. If the .mov uses a component that's part of the standard QuickTime install then it should play on the iPod. But because of QuickTime's plug-in components it's not possible to assume that a .mov file that plays in QuickTime Player will play on an iPod.
Hope this helps

Did something change with the video formats in iTunes 10.5?

Good afternoon,
Since updating to iTunes 10.5, I've found that I can't sync any videos (whether they be TV Shows, Films or Video Podcasts) to my iPod. I've tried various different methods of trying to fix this but every time I do I get given the error message "Some of the videos in your iTunes library, including the video "xxxxx", were not copied to the iPod "xxxxx" because they cannot be played on this iPod."
Now, any of the videos added prior to iTunes 10.5 still work and I can sync them to my iPod without a problem and still play them from there, but anything since then it's just been throwing out the error. I have a 16GB iPod Nano with the latest software version (1.0.2), running off Windows XP SP3, and all Apple software I use is up-to-date.
Please can anyone give me any hints or help in solving this problem?
Thanks,
Dan

I think you do not understand, this is all in iTunes under windows.
Here I have a few screens of the problem.
Here is my iTunes video list
Here is me looking at the info of a video in the iTunes library
Here is a list of videos on my iPhone
And here is the info for a video that is on the iPhone
As you can see after the video has been transferred the artwork tab and the artwork it self disappears.

HT1473 No error when adding inappropriate video format to iTunes

When I choose unsupported video format it tells nothing and just ignore my request. I spent 2 hours struggling with that you call "user friendly" interface. Completely disappointed...

You have to convert them to MPEG-4 files to play them back to your iPod. I suggest using Videora iPod Converter to re-encode your video files to MPEG4

Multiple video format, 1 iTunes entry

I have searched for this, and , can't seem t find an answer.
I have multiple apple devices, and, like to rip my Blu-ray Discs to watch on these devices. I have an Apple TV , iPad, iPad mini and iPod touch.
This makes for a messy iTunes library though. Because (using the movie batman as an example) in my iTunes library, I have the same movie, multiple times because I encoded it for several devices. It will be listen something like this:
Batman (iPad)
Batman (AppleTV)
Batman (iPod Touch)
So, my question is, is there a particular naming convention I can use where I can rip 3 different formats and all three versions will roll up into one entry in iTunes where iTunes and my devices will be smart enough to use the correct file in different situations??
Any amount of help I can get on this would be greatly appreciated :)
Hope everyone had (is having) a great holiday :)

Me too, all my movies are on Ext HDD with an alias pointing to them from the movies folder in my home directory but in itunes i do not know how to add any of them.
The movies are in avi format DivX and Xvid.
Any ideas?
Cheers
Edit...
Ok got the files added but it copies them to my musc folder, is there a way to keep them in the original place on my ext hdd?

Make iTunes recognize other video formats

Hello folks,
I am trying to import wide variety of video formats in iTunes. Frankly, the days have gone that we have to use strictly mp4, there are many players that can play other formats so I don't want to re-encode the videos to mp4. Hence it brings me to the question, how do I make iTunes recognize other video formats. If QuickTime can play all the video formats then why iTunes can not?
Apparently, there are ways around for mac but I did not find any for windows. I will be glad if anyone can flash some light.
Thanks in advance.
(P.S. - I know, I can bring videos to iPad without them being in iTunes but I find it good to have all videos in library.)

That's not how it's supposed to work according to this: http://www.griffintechnology.com/support/italkpro/
By default, a playlist will be created in iTunes called "Voice Memos" and those files will be transferred there automatically. The files themselves can be found on your computer in your iTunes Music folder in Unknown Artist > Unknown Album.
It may be worth working through any trouble shooting articles on that site.
Regards,
Colin R.

Dvd and video formats

Hey...
What format are videos in after they are purchased from itunes?
And what video formats can itunes import?
Is it better to import a file that has already been compressed, or can a file be imported directly from the dvd...like when you rip a cd?
Thanks, I only burn music, so I don't know anything about videos in itunes, but just got an ipod with video

iTunes does not support ripping a DVD. heres a FAQ about Video with iPod and iTunes http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302758

Syncing/Video Format issue from iTunes to iPod touch

I recently upgraded to a 4th gen touch from 4th gen iPod. All my previous videos were able to be synced properly. Ones I just purchased from iTunes store, however, I cannot load onto my iPod touch. I'm not able to sync it nor drag it into my device to upload.
This is the message I receive when syncing: +"Some of the videos in your iTunes library, including "xxxxxx" were not copied to the iPod "xx" because they cannot be played on this iPod."+ When I clicked further the message reads +"...the video format is not supported by this iPod."+
All of these are regular ole TV shows in MPEG-4 format. Yes, I can watch them on my computer. Yes, my software is up to date. Yes, I have iTunes 10 (and reinstalled it). Yes, my properties are to automatically sync my TV shows (which is why I'm constantly getting above error message). Yes, I restarted and reformatted my iPod touch.

Have you tried using the Create iPod and iPhone Version in the Advanced tab of iTunes? That opion is made to convert most formates to the iPod and iPhone compatible formats.

Itunes rented movie "video format not supported" by ipad?

I just rented 3 movies in the iTunes Store. They all downloaded to iTunes successfully. They are all SD, not HD. When I try to move them to the iPad and sync, I get a message saying that the movies cannot be played on this iPad because the video format is not supported.
I have rented movies before and played them successfully. What do I do now?
iPad is about 6 months old, 32 GB Wi-Fi, running iOS 6.1.3.

I'm not sure why they don't play ...
But I wonder why you wouldn't simply update your iPad to iOS 7.0.4 and see if that solves the issue.

Error message of "video format not supported" for ATV1 for files from iTunes

I have an ATV first generation, I had to redo my windows profile and now ATV is not syncing all my movies from iTunes. It says that ATV does not support the video format from movies I downloaded from Itunes.

I've had this happen with a whole bunch of files over time. Usually it's a disk timeout - it just took too long for iTunes to start streaming the file to the Apple TV. Sometimes it's that the file has been moved/deleted/'lost' as Alley_Cat describes. Sometimes I think that the file has too high a bit rate to play on the old Apple TV or the audio isn't suitable for it.

ITunes error message - "video format is not supported by the iPad" My video is mp4, mpeg-4.

When syncing my iPad 2.... Why do I get this iTunes error message? "video format is not supported by the iPad"
My video is mp4, another is mpeg-4.
I thought the iPad 2 could play almost any format.

Must conform to these specs:
Video formats supported: H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
Or download an alternate video player,such as avplayerhd.

Used to convert all my videos into iPhone mp4 format using Any Video Converter - then add it to my iPhone 3GS. But last few days, I cant add video files to iTunes. and the iTunes doesnt even specify the reason except for that "files are not supported"

Everyting was perfect earlier. Used to convert all my videos into iPhone mp4 format using Any Video Converter - then add it to my iPhone 3GS. But last few days, I cant add video files to iTunes. and the iTunes doesnt even specify the reason except for that "files are not supported"
Everything is fine.
-They are the right format
-Quicktime is updated
-I have tried simply dragging them into the 'movie' library
-I have tried going to file<add file to library
Nothing works, has anyone else had this problem and found a way around it?
Any and all help appreciated.

In addition to Mike's suggestions, you only have 4GB of RAM and Mavericks does use more RAM than other versions. You may also want to look at the apps that startup on login and the possiblity of upgrading RAM.
