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

Why do some songs play properly in iTunes but not on iPod Classic?

Hi all, I have two songs in my library that play all the way through properly when played in Itunes through my Mac, and on my iPhone, and on my iPod, but not when played on my iPod Classic 80GB. That seems weird to me ... can anyone offer me some suggestions as to what's going on and how I might fix it? Thanks in advance.

What format are these two tracks in and at what bitrate are they encoded? Are they downloads from the iTunes Store or were these tracks that you were imported from outside of iTunes?

Music plays fine in iTunes but not at all on iPod

I have a few songs that I created in Soundtrack Pro that I have imported into iTunes. I have all of the music I created in one folder on iTunes. I just uploaded 4 new songs and they will not play on my iPod. When I click on a song (the ones I created) they skip to another song. What is causing them to skip to another song? Is it a QT thing? I saw where I do have an update waiting for me. Could that be the issue? I have other songs that I created that play with no problems. Those songs are AIFF files. I even tried converting them to AAC files and they still won't play on the iPod. I did notice that songs are getting exported from Soundtrack Pro as .m4a files and that could be why but I am not sure. I just know they play with no problems in iTunes and not all on my iPod. I DO have the latest version of iTunes as well the latest update for my iPod.
Thanks!!!

DVX100Shooter,
I am having a very similar problem, except it is happening to ALL of my music. For your case, perhaps you could try exporting to WAV from Soundtrack Pro (not sure if that is an option), and then let iTunes encode the audio in whichever format you choose. There shouldn't be any loss in quality in doing that.
As far as my situation, I have updated my iPod (5th Gen 80GB Video) to the latest firmware (v1.3), iTunes is completely updated, OS X v10.5 is completely updated. I have restored my iPod on both PC and Mac, but no luck. Basically, no matter what songs I put on my iPod (MP3s or Apple Lossless), nothing will play on the iPod. I can fully browse the library on the iPod, but when I select a song to play, it just sits at 0:00 forever. If I hook the iPod up to a computer, I can play the music off of it just fine, which indicates that the hard drive is working just fine. Adding however much music I want to works just fine. I even stumbled across the Diagnostics tests, all of which passed with no errors. To me, it just seems that the iPod wants to play the song, but for some reason the compressed data isn't getting through the decoder....or....the music is decompressed OK but won't go through the digital-to-analog converter. Anyone have any suggestions for either my or DVX100Shooter's case?

Video that appears in iTunes but not Windows Explorer crashing iTunes

I added some videos to my iTunes library today, and I tried to sync my iPod. When I connect it, I get the "Updating iPod, do not disconnect" message, but it doesn't say exactly what it's transferring. After a little while, I get the notification that iTunes is crashing and the option to send an error report.
I updated iTunes to 6.0.3 earlier today, and updated my iPod to see if that would fix anything. When it didn't, I checked to see if there was something wrong with any of the videos. I tried deleting the videos, until iTunes crashed again. Whenever I try to delete, or play, or right-click this video, it crashes. I thought that maybe there was a problem with a video, so deleting it through Windows Explorer might have some effect, so I went to where it would be stored, and . . . it wasn't there.
I know that a file being listed in the library but not actually stored in Windows would normally just result in the exclamation-point-in-a-circle icon, but could this be what's causing iTunes to crash? Is there a way to delete something from the iTunes library without actually going through iTunes?

Okay, I managed to fix it after uninstalling iTunes and installing an old version . . . but of course, after I had everything up and working again, I ended up causing it to happen again. The upside of that is that I now know how it happened and an easier way to fix it.
The corruption of the file occured when trying to type in an artist on a file whose tag I had modified with iPod TVShow . . . it said "Editting tag", then crashed for the first time, and crashed again whenever I tried to edit that. Though, I found that that can be fixed just by deleting the movie file first through Windows Explorer, and then through iTunes (I didn't see it in Windows Explorer originally because I didn't realize that the re-labeling of the artist never went through, so I looked in the wrong folder, and I wasn't able to use Show Song File in order to see where it was, what with the constant crashing). Hopefully that'll help if anybody else ends up with the same problem.

Trimmed podcasts play correctly in iTunes but not on ipod shuffle

There's some short podcasts from NPR that have commercials at both the beginning and end. They're almost as long as the main content. I've been able to use the "Batch Trim Start or Stop Time (Seconds)" script from Doug's Applescripts for Itunes website to trim 15-20 seconds off the start and stop times. It works when I play them in iTunes, the podcasts start and stop exactly where they're set. But if I sync these trimmed podcasts to my iPod Shuffle then either the start or end time is ignored, or the podcast just abruptly ends in the middle.
Any ideas what's happening?

Anyone know why the start and stop times aren't respected on the ipod but are in iTunes when using the batch trim script?

Video Plays on local computer but not web

My video which is a mp4 plays on my local computer fine but when I upload it to the web server godaddy to be specific it doesn't work in IE 9 but works fine in the other browsers. I have been trying to figure this out but I can't here is the web address for the site gologisticsusa.com

I know this might sound like a cop out answer but I do not check in IE 9 yet because it is not fully used by everyone. I would just forget it and leave it till you can get a better answer.
Eh, what? By that reckoning you shouldn't be testing on ANY browser as none of them are "fully used by everyone". You should be testing on EVERY browser available to you - most errors can be fixed with proper coding.
In this instance, it looks like you are trying to use the HTML5 <video> tag, but it has not been properly used. As such it doesn't work in FF and/or some IE. IE will show mp4 files but only if the encoding is correct - H.264. if it's in this format, you may need to set the MIME types up on the server. FF uses OGG or OGV for their video so you should look into FireFogg to convert it.
To set up the HTML5 <video>, it should look something like the below:
<video id="movie" width="200 height="200" preload="auto" autobuffer autoplay controls>
<source src="videos/INSERT_FILE_NAME.webm" type='video/webm; codecs="vp8, vorbis"' />
<source src="videos/INSERT_FILE_NAME.ogv" type='video/ogg; codecs="theora, vorbis"' />
<source src="videos/INSERT_FILE_NAME.mp4" />

</video>
You can include a flash fall back file afterwards for all browsers that don't support the HTML5 video tag - such as olde IE.

Video plays on Root folder but not in Cgi-bin folder...Help!

Hello-
I just transfered my entire website content form one domain to another and for some reson my videos will not play on the new domain whereas they played correctly in the cg-bin folder of the old domain. I do not understand why and need your help to figure it out since I am not a flash guy.
Here is the link to the videos that are not working correctly. http://www.healthywaterlife.com/cgi-bin/d.cgi/phil/videos.html
My cgi guy says that all of the cgi is working correctly and he has stated that the problem lies within the code of the html. So here is the html code for one of the videos...
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="605" height="350" id="FLVPlayer1">
           <param name="movie" value="FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf" />
           <param name="salign" value="lt" />
           <param name="quality" value="high" />
           <param name="scale" value="noscale" />
           <param name="FlashVars" value="&MM_ComponentVersion=1&skinName=Clear_Skin_1&streamName=http://www.healthywaterlife.com/videos/historyofkangenwater&autoPlay=false&autoRewind=fals e" />
           <embed src="FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf" flashvars="&MM_ComponentVersion=1&skinName=Clear_Skin_1&streamName=http://www.healthywaterlife.com/videos/historyofkangenwater&autoPlay=false&autoRewind=fals e" quality="high" scale="noscale" width="605" height="350" name="FLVPlayer1" salign="LT" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" />
</object>
And yes, my server, codero, supports all of the cgi as the old domain worked well and was operating on the codero server.
Thanks for your help!

Are you sure that all the files have been uploaded?
The player.swf, the skin.swf, the actual .flv video file, and what about any javascript files used for Flash detection? So that could be as many as 4 files.
To test, paste the entire absolute address to each of those files directly into your browser address bar, like this:
http://www.healthywaterlife.com/videos/FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf
You should not see ANY file not found messages.
After verifying that each file exists on the server, then it's only a matter of correctly pathing all the Flash assets, and pathing includes correctly spelling file names (upper or lower case.. must be exact) as well using correct folder names.
To review Flash pathing:
Pathing issues
Almost always when it works on the local machine and not the server, it's a pathing problem.
You can put your Flash related files in whatever folders you want, they do NOT have to be in the root, they do NOT all have to be in the same folder. But if you have a problem and if sticking them all in the root folder works, then you know that the issue was a pathing problem.
Just remember that paths used in the .swf become relative to the Web page on which the .swf is placed, NOT it’s physical location. So for example, if your .swf is in the flash/data folder and you use that .swf on a Web page in the root folder, you are in effect, removing that .swf from flash/data and putting it in root. So if the .swf is loading any related files (xml, images, video, etc), the path used inside the .swf to load the .xml file has to be relative to it's new location in root and then back down into flash/data. This is true even though when testing the .swf by itself, it can be inside flash/data and work just fine, since relative to it's location, the path is just fine, they are in the same folder. But if that same path is used when the .swf is placed on a page two folder levels up, the relative path has changed, the old "same folder" path will not work.
In fact if you are placing the .swf on a web page in a different folder than the .swf is stored in, and that .swf calls external assets, then direct clicking and opening of the .swf in it’s folder should NOT work! That’s because the paths to the external assets should be relative to the Web page and not the physical location of the .swf.
So just be sure that you use addresses relative to the final Web page locations (not physical file locations) and you can put the Flash related files in what ever folders you want.

Video plays fine in iMovie but not in Web Gallery ?

Hi
I managed to import some small video clips to iMovie 08 using Streamclip (converting to .dv files).
The movies play fine in iMovie - no problems. However when I publish to Mac Web Gallery (I only published "mobile" size), one of the videos always hangs at the same point. The clip starts playing but you can see the clip stop loading and then it stops playing at the exact same point about 3 minutes in.
The Web Gallery says the clip is 4mins 36secs long but it never plays it in full. I've removed from Gallery and republished. I've also deleted the project and started from scratch. Both have failed to cure it.
Also tried it in Firefox 3 and Safari - same result.
Why is Mac Web Gallery struggling to play all the clip?
Thanks for any input!
Martin

Which version of iMovie?
If you are on version 8.0.6, this is probably due to the use of speed changes like fast motion or slow motion.
If you have speed changes in your project, you need to stick to the pre-set tick marks of 25%, 50%, 100%, 200%, 400%, 800%, etc. If you use a custom percent like 58% or 139%, you will get weird audio behavior in your final product.

Video plays on iPhone 3G, but not iPhone 2G or iPod Touch 1st Gen

Hi all,
We're creating videos to be played on iPhones and iPod touch's. The videos are working fine on my iPhone 3Gs but won't play on my iPod touch 1st gen or a 2G iPhone. I've had a look and the supported video list is exactly the same on all iPhones and iPod touch's so I'm at a bit of a loss.
The video in question is here if anyone fancies testing it themselves:

Anyone else hit this before??

Help..Flash Videos work for Chrome/IE but NOT Firefox

So I cannot see some flash videos on Firefox (like sites CNet & Disney do not work) which use flash. It does work on Chrome & IE.
1. ALL Programs are the newest/latest versions.
2. I removed and downloaded all programs- restarted the computer after each download.
3. I have the latest Flash (according to the website) when I view the Adobe Flash Website on Firefox.
I don't know why some flash videos work...and some do not.
I am running Vista. All my programs are legit...and I do have McAfee running..I don't download porn, no viruses etc.. Anyone have advice?!!

ok ok
I disabled firewall which - for some weird reason- allow it to play in Firefox. Videos played in IE & Chrome- but not in Firefox, until I disabled Firewall..weird.

Music video plays in itunes but not on ipod

hi
like my subject line states, i transferred a whole bunch of music videos off of dvd into mp4 format using videora.
they play in itunes but not on my ipod.
i transferred about 400 or so at the same time to ipod do you think that's why most of them won't play ?
should i do it one by one ?
thanks.

it's more than just the mp4 format. They need to be encoded correctly with the right dimensions and other attributes as well. I don't bother with this sort of thing right now. If there is anyone who has these specs, just post them here. Otherwise, you can always google them or search these boards for the proper format/size/encoding.

No, you should have Restrictions OFF.
Computer's iTunes > Preferences > Parental Preferences > everything should be unchecked.
Are the songs also on computer's iTunes?
