Video playing funny in Itunes

I imported some videos I downloaded to itunes. When I play it in the mini video it plays fine, but when I play it in double screen or full screen is shows in weird colors, like orange, read and green. This does not happen at all on Windows Media Player. What could it be?

I forgot to mention it also plays funny when playing files in quicktime as well, and not just videos from my computer, but trailers and video clips from itunes music store.

  • Video plays fine in iTunes / only plays audio in iPod

    I put an MPG4 movie into iTunes and it plays fine in iTunes. After syncing it into my iPod, I find that it plays the sound but not the actual video and it shows a tiny still of the video where the album cover usually goes.
    Please help.

    What type of iPod are you using? You've posted in the "iPod with color display" section, this model isn't designed to play video content. To play video files you need a 5th Generation iPod with video. You can read more about what formats you can use on this page: iPod 101: Which Files Work With iPod and iTunes

  • Video plays properly in iTunes but not on AppleTV via Airplay

    I converted a few AVI files to MOV using Quicktime X and then imported the file into iTunes. The videos play just fine in iTunes, but they cannot be played on my AppleTV via Airplay. All the videos appear to load onto the AppleTV (control/play bar at bottom of screen appears), but one video does not play at all and the others only play audio. Again, they all play perfectly in iTunes.
    Video info:
    Kind: QuickTime movie
    Codecs: XVID, MPEG Layer 3
    Audio channels: 2
    Total bit rate: 1,422
    Thanks!

    Try Using Handbrake (free) to transcode to M4v or mpg4 files....... thay are supported by ATV2 nand will appear fine. .avi is an old compression scheme and is not suppoted on ATV2

  • Videos play back in itunes Yellow

    When I play a video in itunes in the store or out of my libary it shows up yellow you can see the images just the color is yellow. Any one got any ideas I got all the updates Itunes 7 and the new quick time and updated direct X.

    OK fixed it. Forgot to upgrade my video card driver. That fixed the issue.

  • Video freezes after 20 seconds, then video plays with no sound

    I used ImToo to put DVDs onto iTunes and then onto my 60GB iPod (which I bought today). The video plays for about 20 seconds before freezing (both sound and audio). If I go back into the menu and then back into the movie, it picks up where it left off - but then sometimes the sound stops while the video keeps going.
    The videos play perfectly on iTunes, but not on the iPod. Is my iPod faulty?

    How are you trying to put the videos on?
    Connect the iPod and go to edit-->preferences in iTunes. Hit the iPod tab, then the videos tab. Make sure update all videos is selected.
    Note that your preferences may look slightly different.
    Also, is iTunes itself up to date?
    iPod Updater
    Finally, try unistalling the 2006-01-10 updater (before you update iTunes)

  • Cannot open any mp4 files on Quicktime but plays ok within iTunes.

    Hi, I'm new to apple discussion forum, I have been searching for answer to my problems but couldn't find the resolution.
    I have dozens of MP4 files which plays well on Quicktime on my other systems running XP-Pro. Recently I transferred my mp4 files on a portable drive and I wanted to open them up on a system which has 64-bit Vista. I can open all the files within iTunes without a problem (although it had to install files within iTunes first) but the same mp4 files won't run on Quicktime.
    I wanted to be able to run the mp4 files on Quicktime without the need to open iTunes first, as I don't want to install these mp4 files in iTunes.
    If any of these mp4 files are opened on Quicktime, I am getting an "Error -43: file not found..." message although the files are there. I don't think it's related to the 8 character limitation because I even tried to chunk-out the characters. I have tried many times to uninstall and reinstall both iTunes and Quicktime and also tried many times to run the standalone Quicktime setup by itself, but the same error-message remains.
    I tried to run the mp4 file on RealPlayer as well as DivX but both program says it needed Quicktime to run the file, although Quicktime was installed it seemed like the programs cannot see quicktime, and yet when I run any of the mp4 files within iTunes they work fine.
    Any reason why Quicktime won't open file and yet iTunes can open the same file?
    I don't know of any but is there any known Quicktime compatibility problem with 64-bit Vista and if so what causes the conflict, or are there any workaround or patches? (can't find any related issues on Microsoft support)
    Is there any way I can resolve this issue, and be able to open these mp4 files within Quicktime without getting error -43 message and without the need to install the mp4 files within iTunes first?
    Any help from any good people out there are very much appreciated. Thanks very much in advance.

    Hi.
    Yes, I have the same exact problem. Running pretty much same Vista 64-bit system. When I double click to run a mp4 file I keep getting that same error -43: file not found. The video plays fine through iTunes but won't run at all through Quicktime (outside of iTunes).
    Hope someone can come up with an answer or Apple puts in fix.
    For now I set iTunes to be the default program to open for this file type but would it rather have remained Quicktime.
    Tried the uninstall and reinstall to latest Quicktime version but that didn't fix anything. Same problem....

  • Videos play audio only?

    Since the iPod got dropped on the floor recently, everything works but we can't get the video from the videos, we get the audio only. Games work, music works fine. If this was a problem with the screen, these wouldn't work, right
    Videos play fine on iTunes on the computer, but not iPod. Only audio plays on iPod.
    If the files were corrupted, wouldn't play full videos on mac. or would it.

    Possible cable connection error...
    If you have a cable +designed for use with the Apple iPod,+ then all you need do is match up the colors, red to red, white to white and yellow to yello. If you're curious...
    Red is right side audio
    White is left side audio
    Yellow is Video
    If you have a cable +designed for use with something other than the Apple iPod,+ the following may be your situation:
    White is Right Audio and should connect to the TV's Red jack
    Yellow is Left Audio and should connect to the TV's White jack
    Red is Video and should connect to the TV's video jack

  • Video - Play In iTunes Then Won't Sync

    I've just noticed that if I play a video in iTunes it will then no longer sync with the iPod. iTunes says its not a compatible format.
    I've just tested playing a video on the iPod (OK) then playing on Mac iTunes (OK) then resyncing. The video no longer syncs and removes itself from the iPod.
    Looked in the threads but nothing there.
    Any clues ??
    Thanks in advance.
    NIALL 8-)

    I've noticed something similar I think.
    I have two movies that I KNOW I've watched on my ipod - that are no longer there. When trying to sync, itunes says they're not compatible. What gives? I did update to 1.1 - could this be the problem. I can't say if I have watched the videos in itunes or not (as this post states the problem initiating) - but they just won't sync.
    Help!

  • Mpeg video plays in iTunes, but no audio on iPod

    I have a 10 minute video that plays fine in iTunes 7.0.1.8 on Widows XP. I did the "Convert Selection for iPod", which then allowed me to download the video.
    However, when I play the video on the iPod, there is no sound.
    The article "iPod plays video but not audio of some exported files" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302588
    describes this same condition, and attributes it to "muxed audio".
    The suggestion to do "Show Movie Info" in Quicktime Player did not confirm the format as "MPEG1 Muxed" or "MPEG2 Muxed". Instead the Format field has ", 25971 x 28257, unknown" - kind of an unsatisfactory description.
    The video file plays fine in Qucktime Player, it plays fine in iTunes - but it has lost all audio on the iPod.
    Does anybody have a fix for this?
    Dave

    First, make sure you are running the most recent update on your iPod.
    Second, what are you using to convert your video? Have you tried purchasing any of the videos from iTunes? Do they work okay??

  • Video plays in iTunes but not Apple TV.

    I'm having trouble with playing movies on Apple TV. I had a video that I converted to mpeg4 format. 640x384, 1138kbps total bitrate, 23 frames/sec. I can play it in iTunes and in quicktime but not through Apple TV. It just perpetually loads...
    I can play any of my music from the same home shared computer on my Apple TV with no noticeably loading time. The total file size of the movie is 785MB.
    Does anyone know why this can't play on Apple TV and if there's something else I need to be doing?

    Google and download Handbrake, and convert the video for AppleTV format.  Not everything that plays in itunes or QT plays on AppleTV.
    There are many variants of MPEG4 and parameters that can make AppleTV fail to play it.  Best to convert to the h264 variant which Handbrake will do by default using the AppleTV preset (don't use preset 2 for a silver AppleTV 1).
    Vieo specs for AppleTV are listed here:

  • My ipod nano 5th gen  wont play movies or videos on my ipod but plays them on itunes when i click on it the screen flashes black i have tried taking the movie off my ipod and putting it back on but it still won't work what should i do?

    My ipod nano 5th gen. won't play movies or tv shows but it plays them on itunes.  When I click  on it the screen flashes black. I have tried taking the videos off my ipod and then putting them back on but it still won't work. what should i do?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
