Video on a Nano

I'm a first time iPod user and I wanted to know if there's a way to watch movie clips on an iPod Nano.
Dell Inspiron E1505 and too many to list here Windows XP 1st Gen Nano, Creative MuVo v100, and too many to list here

No, Apple have not designed the Nano to be video capable, apart from anything else I doubt video on such a small screen would be particularly entertaining. To watch video content you need a 5th Generation iPod with video.

Video IPod & IPod Nano won't work on Vista 64-bit system

I recently updated my OS to Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit system on my Intel Pentium Core 2 Quad PC. Somehow, I have a problem using my Video Ipod & Ipod Nano. After downloading the latest Itune+Quicktime & plugging in the USB cord connecting my IPods, i got this blue screen & different error message. When I reboot my PC, it won't run my OS unless I unplugged my Ipods. I tried istalling the old IPod software that comes with the IPod without any luck. Any idea on what's causing this problem? Are there any patch for Vista 64-bit that make the OS work with IPod?

Hi,
I’ve got the new version of Itunes (7.6.1) but I still get the error where it tells me to download and install a 64-bit version of Itunes. This is just ridiculous!!! I bought my IPOD touch before Christmas and i still haven’t been able to use it!
I've uninstalled and installed itunes and all that rubbish about 5-6 times now, i've deleted everything to do with Apple from my machine and also nearly killed my machine because i messed around with the registry (that's my fault :P)
NOTE: I used IE 64-bit version to download the installer.
Anyone have a solution to the problem?

What is compatible video cable for Nano 3g?

What are compatible video cables for Nano 3g?
Is cable with headphone like jack and Composite/Component RSA connectors http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=B5F 4A608&fnode=home/shopipod/ipod_accessories/cablesdocks&nplm=M9765G/B compatible with Nano 3g?

No, you need the new cable that connects to the connector on the bottom, not the audio jack. The 3g Nano and Touch need the new cable.

If I load a video on a nano to give out at a business conference can recipients see the video when they open the device? Iwas told it will wipe when a new user opens the device.

No, it will wipe it when they try to connect it to a computer and set it up under their own Apple ID. When they turn on the device the first time without connecting it to anything they will be able to see the video.

I can't sync a music video to my Nano

I just got my first 2GB Nano for christmas. I purchased and downloaded a George Strait music video but it won't sync to my ipod. The ipod came with a music video playlist on it by the video just won't sync. What do I do?

Unfortunately, the iPod nano does not have the ability to play videos due to the fact that it is not an iPod VIDEO. A nano does however, have the ability to store and show photos. Sorry for the disappointing news. Maybe if you really want you can save up for an iPod video although I don't recommend it because nano's are just as good as a video.
Cheers,

How to Put videos in ipod nano 5th gen

Can anyone help me how to put video here i what do i need to insltall or what should i do????its my first time having ipod so dont know what to do i can sync music but i cant sync videos can anyone help me...

The nano can be used as a flash drive by going to My Computer then opening the ipod.Once in you will find a file called DCIM. Inside that file you should find a file called 000APPLE that is where video is stored onto your nano. You can just drag and drop it onto your computer. And if you computers players are up to date you should just be able to play them like normal on your computer then. Other wise you have to find out what software on your computer works with the sync option in itunes. I do not know what PC software that is because I have only pulled video off my nano and dont need to sync.

Does anyone know how to put videos on ipod nano

I cant find out how to put videos on my IPOD NANO....its says u could and i know someone who does so i know it is possible but how do i do it.

I don't know who told you that you could put videos on your nano but I wouldn't rely on them for any stock tips either.
Nanos don't support video.
Sorry.

Traded a video for a nano

Yesterday morning I had traded my iPod video for a nano and I cannot sync it in iTunes, I have a feeling that it's becuase it doesn't have the right firmware, but if you could provide a link to a download or some other help please. Thank you in advance.

Try with the iPod in forced disk mode.

How can I display the photos and videos from the Nano to Altec's iMV712

I am trying to display photos and videos from a 3G Nano to larger display on Altec Lansings iMV712
While I know I can view it from the cradle, I was wondering if a TV Out would work?
Has anyone managed to get this to work?

Jim VanLeeuwen has already given you the answer, but (for your future reference), when I saw your comment -- on an RSS feed -- that "The Apple help site is useless" I went to the Support pages and in the search box at the top, entered, "transfer photos from iPhone to Mac". The top result was the one Jim VanLeeuwen offers.

Trouble Uploading Videos To iPod Nano via iTunes

I am having trouble uploading videos to my new iPod Nano (4th Gen? The new Nano-chromatic one). I have the latest iTunes version (iTunes 8), and have followed all the Help topics related to this problem. When I have converted the video (which i have downloaded to my computer from a DVD I have purchased of the TV Series "Black Books") to the iPod friendly format (following the advice from the iTunes Help section) I then try to 'click and drag' the converted movie file into my iPod under the Devices heading, a window pops up saying:
""BLACK_BOOKS Movie 01" was not copied to the iPod because it cannot be played on this iPod."
This confuses me as all the tech specs about the new iPod nanos say that they are able to play videos. And considering as how I have converted the file to one supposedly supported by the iPod I do not understand why it can't be copied to, and then played by my iPod.
I have followed all the Help sections as suggested and the problem is still NOT resolved.
Can anyone help?

I had the same problem.
First you need to download handbrake http://handbrake.fr/?article=download
Then run the file through it, and the output file will work with your chromatic.

IS there any way at all to get video out on nano?

Is there any way AT ALL to get video out from the nano?
Meaning hax and 3rd party equiptment is okay!
I just need to be able to do this.
thanks~vin

Nope, it will void your warrenty, and will brick your iPod. I did it, and made a paperweight from it.

Video Playback - Freezes Nano

I love being an early adopter....
Had video playing fine on my previous 3G Nano, got a new 4G one on release but when trying it for the first time at teh guym, noticed that the first film i tried ot play froze after a few minutes , I tried again and it froze...now this was a new film I hadnt tried on the 3G so I assumed it was a problem, so went back to a film that had played fine on the 3G and screen went black and I had to do a full reset.
Any ideas?
I have looked at the framerate and they are around 256kbps so the previous fix I found for a similar problem on the boards seems to be irrelevant Could understand if nothing woulf play, but they worked fine previously.
I'm wonderig if I had a bad one because it seems to be a little crazy whn trying to use the clickwheel in audio, wasnt sure if the accelerometer was confusing the controls as I seem to have the main problem when trying to move to coverflow.
Any help would be appreciated

Thanks for the input so far.
Ok aome more info, the movies are ripped form my own DVD collection using the Jodix conversoin tool. All worked fine on the £g Nano I used up until last week.
Also this morning we gave another 4g Nano as a birthday gift, I checked the movies I had sync'd from itunes were working ok, which they were...then they too started freezing up. This is weird!
Any iodeas, is tere any sort of DRM setting I've missed?

MAJOR PROBLEM ABOUT VIDEOS IN IPOD NANO VIDEOS!

i neeeed help !
i added mpegs videos to iTunes Library but when i tried updating my iPod nano video , it wouldnt and it says it has to be converted so the videocan be used for the iPod and i did but when i played the videos on the iPod nano Video there was no sound .
HOW IN TTHE WORLD DID THAT HAPPEN?
anyone has answers for me pls. ?

There is no such thing as a nano video.
There is a fifth-generation, full sized iPod capable of video, but there is no nano capable of video playback.
What ipod do you have? The fact that you say it does play video indicates that it's a fifth-gen. If that's the case, what version firmware are you running? Go to SETTINGS > ABOUT to find out.

Video quality of Nano

Got the new Nano and I am underwhelmed with the video quality of the new video camera. I have a mid priced Nikon Cool Pix camera that takes much better video.
Nano users, how is your video quality? Mine certainly doesn't look like the video clips on the Apple site that are advertised for the Nano. Maybe I am doing something wrong or my Nano is not up to spec?
Thanks.

As with ANY camera, you have to hold it steady to get sharp video. IMHO, the 5G is NOT a camera. It just happens to have a video camera built-in for those times when you need a video camera, but you left your "A" camera home.
I have a 42" HD TV at home that does a better job watching movie than my Nano, but once again, the Nano video playback is for when I'm on the move.
I just don't understand why all you critics need to tear down the Nano (mainly a audio player, the IP mainly a phone, the IT because it doesn't have all the goodies the IP has, etc).
I like my Apple tech toys for what they do.
