Video Podcast no longer plays audio

Within the last week, (Possibly the last update), I can no longer get audio to work on Video Podcasts. No audio in iTunes or on iPhone for Video Podcasts. However, Audio Podcasts play just fine and no other issues with Movies, etc.

Video podcasts no longer play on iPod Touch

I have a 1st Gen iPod Touch. I have never had a problem playing anything on it. Now when I try to sync podcasts like Terra, Photoshop User or DTown - I get a message saying iTunes can't sync them to the iPod because they can't be played on it. Since when? This touch has always been able to play these. I can still show Ted Talks and MSNBC as well as various movies.

Video will no longer play, cannot add video content either.

Since this afternoon, iTunes video will no longer play. Not movies, not TV shows. I checked and music and podcasts still play. I thought it might be a conflict between purchased video vs video I added from my DVDs, but no such luck. Purchased content will not play. Nor can I add any new video, whereas I added a new TV show episode this morning.
If I go into the iTunes LIbrary file and select a video and choose "Play with Quicktime" the video plays just fine. But if I select "Play with iTunes" nothing happens. At all. Not even an error code. It's like I didn't select anything. If I try to add content by the keystroke "command O" and choose the file … again, nothing. No error. Just no response at all. When I open that file on my computer, select "Play with Quicktime", then choose "Share with iTunes" inside Quicktime I do finally get an error. "This file cannot be shared (error 206)". I looked up this error code and found this: "The filename or extension is too long." This does not make sense. The file names are fine and the extensions are exactly what I always use to add content to iTunes.
So it's like the entire video portion of iTunes has ceased to function. Any clues?
iTunes 10.4.1
OS 10.6.3

There are a g-zillion posts sharing your problem... but still no answer from Apple. The odd thing is that it is not affecting all of us.
I share your problem and it's doing my head in... if somebody mentions the 5 bloody R's again...!!!
Before updating to 1.2, ask yourself... how bad do you you really want Tetris????

Clip optimization caused video to no longer play.

I wanted to speed up a certain clip, and imovie told me i needed to optimize it in order to fast forward. I did so, but then the video would no longer play on the main screen. It wont play in full screen either. The audio works fine, but no longer any video. what is going on, and how to i get my already edited video to play again?

Thanks for the response WebOSfan. The file type is .3g2. I had a few .m4v files on there also. I took your advice and moved everything and put it back but had no luck. I then converted the .m4v files via itunes and they do all play now. I haven't tried the .3g2 files yet. I will post an update once I give it a try.

Video Podcasts Won't Play under 7.3.2.6

Just installed new itunes and quick time and numerous previously downloaded and newly downloaded video podcasts won't play. You can see the opening frame on the small screen at bottom left if you click but when you try to play, the screen goes green, purple or other color and starts to vertically roll (like old tvs used to do) with foggy images. Strangely other video podcasts (old and new)do play. One example of podcast that does not play is Photoshop Killer Tips; one that does play is Adobe Photoshop Quick Tips.
Computer has plenty of space and has been cleaned of temporary files, defragged, etc.

And this is when going to videos-->video podcasts, right? Do they even show up there at all?

Video podcast that will play on the i-pod

I have not found a video podcast that wil play on my 30GB I-pod. Can anyone recommend one so I can check this out?
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.8) 30 GB I-pod

You can't just copy the slideshow to a DVD as, you've found out, that won't play on a TV. You need to use a program that will render it into DVD format, complete with the proper lead in and trailers. I use Toast to do that, however, there are other programs that can do that too.

Old and new video podcasts no longer sync and play

Since updating Itunes and software on my Ipod classic, the ipod no longer plays video podcasts. I know there was a problem with newer podcasts in HD and so on, but even the old format doesn't play.
can anyone help?

In your subject heading you say the Podcasts do not sync. Are you saying they don't play +because they have not synced?+
If so, when you plug your iPod into your computer, check the settings on the Podcasts pane/tab. Are they still set the way you want them? Software upgrades have been know to cause these settings to be changed.

IPod-Video-80Gig No longer plays movies, videos, TV shows (older shows)

What gives, only 6 months ago the videos played just fine...then I begin having a host of problems (started with the death of the battery at the ripe old age of 8 months). This $400 video iPod had played the few movies and TV shows I purchased...and it will play the audio of them...but will no longer play the video portion. I've tried the resetting (holding the MENU plus CENTER buttons at same time). No go still. I haven't played the movies/videos in a while; but now I'm going on a roadtrip and wanted to take them with me to watch on the plane. So sad. Any help anyone can pass along would be rightly appreciated!

OMI...my daughter had told me she was "fiddling" with the settings and wouldn't you know, she changed the VIDEO SETTINGS "TV Out from Off to On." Word to people with kids...tell them to step away from the iPod.

Video podcasts won't play, cause ipod to freeze

Hi there,
My 5.5g ipod won't play video podcasts. I've downloaded several different ones, made sure the "TV Out" is turned off, and played with several other settings, all to no avail. When I open one from the video>video podcasts menu, the screen goes black, sometimes it says "Loading" with the little "play" arrow in the top left corner, and that's all I get. It freezes, and I have to reset.
I've also tried restoring the ipod to factory conditions, which didn't work. The podcasts play in iTunes, so that's not the problem.
This thread
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8969818&#8969818
also seems to describe my problem, but I can't find a solution there.
Anybody have any ideas for how to fix this? Thanks!

It's up to the producers of the podcast whether they make their video podcasts iPod compatible or not. It's certainly not a requirement for an iTunes Podcast feed which is, perhaps, unfortunate. You could try sending the producer feedback but even if they take any notice it won't affect podcasts you've already downloaded. The *Make iPod compatible version* rarely works (somthing to do with whether audio & video are separate or multiplexed to start with). I suggest you download SUPER which is capable of converting almost anything to an iPod version. You have to navigate through a bunch of links before you get to the actual download, but it is there - just ignore the links to other commercial software on the way, SUPER is free.

PS. On my current setup SUPER generates the odd error message while running but still produces a working output file...

Video Podcast Won't Play

Hi all, have a 1st gen 5G iPod 60G
Only until these few days I (re)started to subscribe to some podcasts, including video podcasts like the new NGC World Music, NASA videos, Happy Tree Friends, etc
They all play absolutely fine on iTunes on my mac, but when I try playing them on my iPod, they just play like normal regular podcast, NO video, an "album art" is displayed and I hear the audio, very much like listening to any music.
All the video podcasts seem to be like that; I however can play all the TV shows that I have bought from the store.
So how do I get to watch the video podcast??
Thanks and cheers

Whats the direct link to either the RSS or the video, I'll take a look? iTunes is telling me there is either a problem with the file or the type of file isnt supported.

IWeb video Podcast won't play music on PC and crash iTunes.

I used iMovie to make a picture slideshow and added a mp3 file I got from a CD I own. I shared the slideshow to iWeb as a podcast with iLife06 and it built a page for it on my .Mac account web page. I published it and it went to the server flawlessly. I subscribed to the podcast on my Mac computer and it came into my playlist and played great. The problem came when I went to the website on my IBM PC. I at one time used it to hold the music for my iPod. I subscribed to the podcast, downloaded the slideshow to iTunes, and when I tried to play it on the PC I got a weird noise that would not stop. I had to control Alt Del to get it to stop. I am running the latest version of iTunes on both computers.

ensure that you are navigating to the video
correctly. The correct path to a video podcast on a
5th gen ipod is /videos/video podcasts/*insert
podcast here*. I assume that you are attempting to
access the podcasts via /music/podcasts/*insert
podcast here*. If you are accessing the podcasts
through the music menu, the podcast will show up, but
only the audio will play. If you access it through
the video menu, both the audio and the video should
work.

How to reformat a Video podcast file into an audio one?

Is there a way for me to transform a video podcast to an audio one so I can play it on my shuffle? Do I need special software to do it?

my answer might be a litte bit late but http://vixy.net/ is a web based service that does exactly that. Simple to use!

Video Podcasts No Longer Work on my 2nd (3rd?) Gen. iPod Touch!

Okay, I'm not really sure if I actually have a 2nd or 3rd generation iPod touch. It's a 8 GB, and I bought it in November of 2009 or so. I'm guessing it's a 2nd generation since it stopped updating after iOS 4.2.1. Now with that out of the way, onto the real question....
There was a new iTunes version a few days ago, so I went ahead and updated that. Ever since, I have had difficulties with any new VIDEO podcasts that I download. I cannot sync them onto my iPod at all. Audio podcasts work just fine, but video podcasts do not. I have literally tried everything - restoring my iPod, deleting and re-downloading the podcasts, and even re-installed iTunes completely. I figure that it might have something to do with the file type of the videos, but I would've gotten an error message if that had been the case. I am extremely puzzled. Please advise.

Can no longer play audio files embedded in a PDF

I can no longer play embedded audio files in PDFs in version 11 for Windows XP (though I could on an older version). The audio will not play on my Mac either. How do I fix this?

I should add that these are mpgs of a television series. They were made with QuickTime Pro 7.6.2 or .3 just before the new iTunes and Snow Leopard came out. I can open them with either QT X or QTPro7 on the Mini and they play fine. I don't know where to point the finger since they play through iTunes fine on the PPC Leopard Mac and not the Intel Snow Leopard Mac. It could be how the new tunes works with the OS but those kind of hooks are harder to find than they were back in the old OS7,8,9 days. I'm not meaning to be an old bloke longing for the old days cause i love the magic of technology.

Why will video podcasts no longer sync to my ipod?

I used to be able to watch video podcasts on my iPod nano (5th generation). Then, one day it stopped syncing them to the iPod. I think an error message came up saying that my iPod didn't support the videos anymore (something about HD). I assumed that the video podcast had switched to a higher definition podcast, but the video quality appears to be the same when I play them on my computer. What's more confusing is that when I check which podcasts are being synced, the video podcasts still say they are being added to the device, but they never show up. Furthermore, I try draging the file manually to the iPod, but nothing happens (not even an error message saying I can't copy that file to the device).

I think so. I'm pretty sure I've updated 2 versions of iTunes since it stopped working. I don't remember if one of those updates was right when it stopped working or not.
