Video ipod just explain it

Ok i have a windows computer and a bunch of .avi ipegs etc. i get a brand new 30 GB ipod and i want to put all these videos in my ipod
WHAT SHOULD I DO FIRST
do i need a converter program videora?
OR
do i need quicktime pro 7 is it necessary to buy it?
I just want someone to explain it to me casue i have no clue what to do!!!

Quicktime 7 Pro, may or may not be able to convert your .avi files to correct format. It would depend on if it plays in Quicktime 7 and what not so it Might not be a vaible solution.
Videora is probably your best solution, there are some guides on the discussions if you do a quick search for it that explains how to use the program, I don't have it on hand right now.

  • 80g video ipod just displays apple logo and makes loud clicking noises

    I've had my ipod 80g for a little over two years, with few incidents, and it's about 50 g full. When I most recently connected it to my computer, it started making these loud whirring and clicking noises and the apple logo is all that shows. I know the ipods can't be expected to last more than a few years (or so I'm told) so my question is what to do. Should I take it into the apple store and have the hard drive totally wiped of all my music, should I try some alternative fix (this strange business card opening the ipod technique, for instance?), or is there something else I should try? Is an ipod in this stage even salvagable? Thanks!

    i had the same problem. i saw a great video on how to fix it and it worked for me.
    the guy who posted it also offers free advice. check it out. good luck.

  • 30GB Video iPod - Just LOCKED UP

    Hi there. I just attempted to charge my iPod thru my computer at work (iTunes is NOT on here) and it locked up. The screen is on, but no backlight. The music stopped playing and I can't seem to turn it on or get it running again. Any ideas please?

    Hi Casi,
    Try this:
    1.) Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
    2.) Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 10 seconds. You may need to repeat this step

  • 30 GB Video IPOD will not play the songs...PLEASE HELP!!!

    My 30 GB Video IPOD just stopped playing the songs. You can move easily through the menu, select a song, and press the play button, but the song will not play (the time bar doesn't move at all). It's as though it is frozen...it never moves from 0:00. Every other aspect of the unit is working...but the songs. Can someone help???

  • Just got my video ipod and I may have a problem

    Hey guys, I literally just got my new video ipod (80gb) and when I went to plug it in to my computer, the connector that goes into the ipod doesn't go in very easily. I'm not sure if this is normal or not, but it didn't happen on my old ipod. It feels as if I'm grinding against the sides...
    If this is an issue or normal please tell me. I don't want to break the thing before I use it

    First question: try pushing in on the sides of the cable going into the iPod. If it is still difficult to connect make sure there is nothing impeding the connection in the iPod side or on the cable.
    Second question: I've used my 5th gen iPod on many flights and have not experienced the problem and there are people who have used them in the mountains. Others are reporting problems on flights. It doesn't break the iPod, it just is resetting on them and then works again on the ground. I'm wondering if some airlines are pressurizing their cabins above the 10,000 foot level.

  • Just bought new g5 have video ipod but cant view my videos on the ipod

    Also i saw the videora thread can we do the same on the imac or do we additional software as i have alot of original dvds and may want to put a couple on my video ipod.

    Since you're on a Mac...
    For converting DVDs for the iPod, use Handbrake:

    For converting video files you already have on your computer for the iPod, use iSquint:

  • Just bought new video ipod need help

    Hey everyone...
    Yesterday I bought a new 30gig black video ipod.
    Using some programs i bought on the internet, i was able to convert the movie "Animal House" to MP4 and put it on itunes.
    The computer I did this on was my brothers computer since my computer does not read DVDs... I thought once the movie was in his itunes and in his library, I could simply drag the movie from his library to my ipod but it is not working. I do not know how else to get the movie onto my ipod. This is the second ipod i have bought and all my music is on my computer (Windows... not mac) Please help... thanks in advance

    Hey again... i dont think I really told everyone what was going on so sorry...
    I have all of my music on my computer and my ipod has that music from my computer.
    I was using my brothers computer to download this movie because my computer does not work with DVDs and i got it in his itunes on his computer. It is in the right format on his computer. I thought once it was in his library in his itunes, I could plug my ipod into his computer and drag it from his library to my ipod. That is what i used to do with my ipod mini but for some reason it was not working with the video. Is there any way to get the video from his computer to my ipod without syncing my ipod for that computer. Thanks again.

  • Quick time dosnt fully importat music to my ipod just closes!

    Quick time dosnt fully importat music to my ipod just closes!

    Perfect! That explains everything.
    An exception occured while trying to run "C:\WINDOWS\system32\shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL"C:\WINDOWS\system32\Quicktime.c pl,QuickTime
    Some program other than QuickTime has stashed old QuickTime componentry down in your \system32\ folder. (Codec packs, some freeware media players, and video/audio file converters are the usual culprits, although some games.) That's what is causing the QuickTime error messages.
    Have you installed any codec packs or video conversion utilities or media players on the PC? If so, what's the name and the version number of the package?

  • New video ipod has russian settings

    I just took my new video ipod out of the shrink wrap and powered it up and everything is in Russian. Since I only speak english I don't know how to reset the language settings. Can anyone explain how to set the language to english. This is a bummer.

    You can restore it using the ipod software that comes on the cd. This will change it back to factory settings so you can start from scratch.

  • New Video iPod will not connect

    I have a new video ipod that will connect on one computer but not the one I want to use. I have reloaded itunes several times and checked firewall. When I plug the ipod in the computer makes three dings. Is this an error code of some type? It will not show up in diagnostics and after trying it shuts down internet connection until computer is re-booted. It connects fine on the other computer. Has anyone got any answers? I have tried different plugs and it shows to charge just will not connect.

    You want to check and see if the other computer has usb 2.0 first.
    If it does try to reset the ipod while it is plugged into the computer. Reset is the menu and the center button on the ipod. Also make sure the hold switch is all white.
    Also you want to make you that you try different usb ports.
    If that doesn't work use msconfig type that into the search here on the support page let me know if this works.

  • I have upgraded my Itunes to a Windows 8 Computer but now movies will not upload to my video ipod

    Hi, Firstly thanks for clicking on to read this!!
    I have been using an oldish computer for years for my Itunes, and having just purchased a Samsung touch screen computer with Windows 8 I have transfered all my Itunes over to the new computer.
    All the music works fine and I have it all stored on a Passport usb drive to avoid 'clogging' up the new computer.
    HOWEVER non of my videos or movies will now Sync to my video ipod. I just get the following message... "The videos were not copied to the ipod because they can not be played on this ipod".
    I have already tried the following...
    1) Not using the Passport and importing it all on to the computer hard drive....... Same message comes up.
    2) Highlighting the TV shows and movies and going to file 'create ipod version' ... but this is greyed out and can not be selected.
    I have tried re-downloading TV shows on the new computer however that will take AGES!!! (slow connection from Itunes when re-downloading ... 1 episode of bones takes about 4 hours and I have about 50 different series of various shows)... They did however sync to the ipod.
    If I re-plug my ipod into the old computer and use my itunes though the passport again IT DOES WORK AND EVERY THING SYNCS!!!... thus I dont think the actual Ipod is faulty!!!!
    Is this just an update that Apple are dragging their feet with (or not even bothering with).
    Thanks for any advice or help you may be able to offer me.
    Andy

    There's no reason that upgrading from Lion to Mountain Lion would make this application work.  I've looked up Music PadPro.  I don't know much about it, but it looks pretty old.  Here are the requirements:
    Macintosh G4 or higher processor running Mac OS X Version 10.2.6 (minimum),
    Mac OS X Version 10.3.2 (recommended), or Mac OS X Version 10.4.2.
    Looking at that, I would guess that the application would require a PowerPC processor.  After the release of the Intel machines back in 2006, Apple included something called Rosetta within OS X.  This allowed programs developed for the older architecture (PowerPC) to run on the newer Intel machines.  The reason for this was to give developers some time to upgrade their applications to run natively on Intel processors.  It was only with the introduction of Lion that Apple pulled Rosetta from their OS.  They had basically given developers about five years to upgrade their applications.  Unfortunately, in your case, the developer went belly up.  You can always install an older version of the OS on either a separate partition or an external drive and you can run your program from there.

  • Error 1418 on BRAND NEW Video ipod - Only 48 hours old!

    Hi,
    Just upgraded from a click wheel ipod to a new 80GB video Ipod. Installed itunes 7.02 and everything worked fine. Last night got the message saying an update was avaliable for my ipod so I clicked update and since then I get the following messages
    1. The ipod could not be read from or written to.
    2. The ipod is in recovery mode and needs to be restored
    3. Unknown error - 1418
    I have tried
    1. 5r's
    2. Reformat through windows
    The ipod now says it is corrupt and needs to be restored through itunes but itunes only returns the 1418 message.
    I have googled this to death and there seems to be alot of issues with the new firmware. I am really annoyed as I havent even had chance to listen to my music yet and ive spent alot of money on it.
    Any one have any ideas please, any other Video users had a similar problem after the firmware update?
    Thanks

    The link works for me. However, here's the post.
    iTunes7 & 5th gen iPod updating - is this possible solution? (winXP)
    Posted: 14-Sep-2006 03:30
    Reply Email
    Downloaded iTunes 7 and you've gone through the 5 R's until your red in the face?
    * This probable solution 'stumbled upon' using a 60GB video. I have no idea if the process will work the same for nano. But if your desperate and have backed up your library... full steam ahead.
    If you've noticed that your iPod does not show up in My Computer, but shows up in iTunes, and the new Update or Restore option within iTunes (Summary tab of a recognized iPod) doesn't work (choosing 'Update' gives you error 1417 and 'Restore' gives you error 1418 - whatever they mean) then give this a try:
    1. Restart your computer - just to make sure we're all on the same page
    2. Start up/Load iTunes
    3. Connect your iPod to your computer - it may take a little time for iTunes to connect to your device
    4. When the dialogue box pops up telling you that a new version of firmware (ver. 1.2) is available choose: INSTALL
    5. As iTunes shows you a progressive bar of 'installing' (the bar scrolls across again and again) use the "Safely Remove Hardware" option in your taskbar and stop "Apple iPod USB Device". The computer will then tell you that the device can now be removed
    6. "Installing" continues... plug in/connect iPod again. The "Install" continues like nothing's happened. Weird, huh?
    7. Apple logo and Update status bar should now appear on your dimmed iPod screen (because of no backlight)
    8. At this point, dialogue box pops up on computer to tell you that updating continues
    9. "Do Not Disconnect" symbol will then show on your iPod
    10. Process finishes after a time, and now the Summary tab says the iPod has been updated.
    HA!!! If this is all that troubles you - HUZZAH! And I hope this helped.
    Now that we've come this far... I've found that when I normally open iTunes and plug in my iPod to aunto-sync, I now get ERROR (-50) -> Mac needs to get a database online or something to tell me what these 'errors' mean so I don't freak out when I get one...
    1. Go BACK to the Summary tab or your recognized deive in iTunes. Now choose RESTORE. Make sure whatever is on your iPod can be replaced
    2. This part takes time
    3. Computer will pop with dialogue box saying that iPod is restored and being changed to factory settings
    4. Prompt then pops up for you to name your little iPod. At this stage you can choose to 'Auto-sync songs and vids when connected' or 'Auto-sync photos' and from which directory. It's up to you.
    5. iTunes will then thank you for registering your iPod. From this point, the files are copied to your device. Depending on how large your library is affects how long this process takes.

  • HELP!!! 30 GB Video Ipod  not recognized by 2 computers

    I have 2 ipods. I has been unable to connect my 30 gb video Ipod to my laptop for a while. Today I installed a new 8gb ipod and it works just fine, even with the same cable, on my laptop. I tried all the "R" except general reset cause my other computer with i tunes and old songs is dead. Tried to connect my 30GB ipod in disk mode and nothing works, even on a 3erd computer running vista. Either Xp or Vista does not recognize my 30 gb ipod on standard or disk mode... no recognition at all. Just installed the other 8gb ipod today and it just works fine. I read almost all topics and find no answer, HELP!

    Nevermind I was able to figure it out elsewhere.
    iPode was showing in Device Manager under Other Device. I was able to select and install USB drier and it worked
