Video podcast not downloading

For the past few days it seems like all my video podcast will not download properly. They look like they are downloading and when they are done I get a grey explanation point and when I click on the podcast I get a message about a corrupt file or a file that i-tunes can't play.
Also my regular podcast from time to time go out and get every podcast in a feed and then starts downloading them all even though in the prefs. I have it set only to download the most recent podcast.
I tried this on my mac mini I-tunes 7.1 and on my macbook pro i-tunes 7.0.2
Any ideas
Joe

Count me in, too. Throughout March it was kind of sporadic, but recently it's been almost daily. Especially ABC World News.
Anybody else out there having the same thing?

Video podcasts not showing video?

Okay, I'm a little confused here.
I downloaded some podcasts (okay I downloaded hundreds), including some video ones.
Now when I go under iTunes there's the little tv logo by them, and when I click the video does play just like any other video.
But when I go to watch the podcast on my iPod (brand new 30 GB with video), it plays just the audio. It looks like watching a normal audio pocast, with a little still image where album artwork normally shows up.
It's not like my iPod has trouble with videos -- the television shows and music videos I downloaded from iTunes store all work perfectly fine. It's just my podcasts.
The particular video podcasts I downloaded are the Disney Channel DCOM extras, Star Wars on Cinemax, and Formula D.
Please help, I really want to watch these videos but my computer is too sluggish with iTunes to watch them on there!
Thanks in advance!

Doi! Yeah, that did it. Thanks!!!

You go to Video Settings and on the first option, you will have the choice of having it either, 'On, Off, or Ask' Put it on Off, and try to play it again.

The "converted by iTunes" Video Podcasts not appearing on the iPod

Greetings,
I have downloaded some (old) video podcasts from the Music Store. As they were old files; I realised that they were not suitable for the iPod 5G, while trying to sync to the iPod. Then I converted them by using iTunes itself via 'convert selection for iPod' function.
Then, as it's a known case, an error message appeared on iTunes that not all the files were transferred to iPod, blah blah. (Because the unsuitable files will also remain on the iTunes, as well as the converted ones.)
So to get rid of that error message, I have chosen to delete those old and unsuitable files which I would not need anymore.
When I update my iPod, everything seems to be ok, no more warnings on the screen, etc - but the problem is that those converted 'suitable' files do not appear neither on the Video Podcasts folder, nor in another video folder on the iPod. But they are on the iTunes, within the right folder (videos -> podcasts), together with a newly published Video Podcast of the same series - which is the only one appearing on the iPod.
Is the only chance to view them changing their folders from 'podcasts' to e.g. 'movies' folder? Or is it just another bug of iPod G5 which really starts to disappoint me these days?
Does anybody experience a situation like this?
Any ideas will be appreciated.

Reconverting the files normaly changes the original podcast meta-data. Download and use a meta-data modifier utility (like Lostify) to reinsert the proper tags.

How do I create a self-contained video podcast for download?

I have a series of videos from a conference I taped years ago that I want to make availanble to people as a digital download. I have purchased some training coruses from places like Ripple that send you an e-mail with a link to the download the course material. Clicking on it opens up iTiunes and downloads the entire training course as a Podcast (video). So it is not hosted on iTunes and is self-contianed to download all "eppisodes."
How is this done? How is this created so I can post it on a server and have people download it? Auto-instal to iTunes would be nice if easily acheivable.
Thanks.

This page explains how to create a podcast:
http://rfwilmut.net/pc
It's written with audio podcasts in mind, but there's little difference in making a video podcast. Your video files must be .mp4, .m4v or .mov, not .wma or .swf (Flash).
In the 'enclosure' tag the 'type attribute must be as follows for the different file types:
.mp4
video/mp4
.m4v
video/x-m4v
.mov
video/quicktime
Most podcast creation programs or service will handle that for you, so it's probably only relevant if you are handwriting the feed.

Video Podcasts not being saved.

With a fresh install of Windows XP and iTunes, Video Podcasts were not be saved after download and processing. Discovered that Quicktime must be installed separately for Video Podcasts to work correctly with iTunes.
There was a "warning" with iTunes install that videoes could not be played without Quicktime. There was no notice that it also affected down-loading and importing videoes as well

Don, I think you're a Legend. I haven't ticked you yet because I haven't tried it yet, but I'm pretty sure my problem is identical to yours and I've been searching for the answer for days.
Mr Apple, please take note. Don't just download and processing and make us download again and again. Either pop it up on your previous warning or put a warning up THEN. Thanks
And thanks again Don

Video Podcasts Not Syncing From my iPad Mini to iTunes for Windows

Hello all. I have the iPad Mini, and recently have been downloading my Podcasts there.
It occurred to me that in case something happens to my iPad, I should have my Podcasts backed up to my computer. So, i downloaded iTunes for Windows on my computer. I plugged my iPad Mini into my computer and synced it, so that my Podcasts would sync from my iPad Mini to my iTunes Library.
I noticed that all of my podcasts did sync, except for the 3 video podcasts I have. None of the video podcasts synced.
Anyone know how I can get my video podcasts to sync from my iPad Mini to my iTunes Library?
Thank you in advance!

Just wanted to kick my question back up. to see if anyone had any idea how to get my video podcasts to sync from my iPad Mini to iTunes on my computer.
Audio podcasts seem to be syncing fine. Just the video podcasts are not.
Thanks.

ITunes video podcast wont download

Using the latest iTunes on WIn 7 and have three video podcasts which appear to download but when they complete they haven't downloaded and appear greyed out with an open circle on the left. Can anyone help please?

Yes, the file isn't where it's supposed to be, therefore it cannot be downloaded onto your computer.
This is a problem with the Podcast. Each episode is held on a server, the Podcast producers specify where the file is, and all iTunes does is list it according to the information supplied by the producer. (Neither Apple nor iTunes store the Podcast, they simply list it.) When you ask for it (either manually or via a subscription) iTunes asks the host server to download a copy to you. However, if the file is not actually stored where the Podcast's producers say they've put it, you get that message.
I suggest you contact the show's producers to let them know there is a problem. On the iTunes Store page for the Gadget Lab, you should see a link to "Website." Follow that and send them an email.
I've had this happen with Podcasts I'm subscribed to. Usually, all it needs is an email from someone to let them know, they correct the fault and hey presto, done!

HT5295 One certain podcast not downloading on new podcast program. Can stream it just fine.

Podcast program not downloading the podcast. Handel on Demand. Can Stream it just fine

It's not just one program. There are a bunch of podcasts that are not automatically downloading but must be streamed. Both the Onion Radio News and the Onion News Network videos frequently won't download but stream just fine. I've also had problems with NASA podcast channels, NOVA/PBS podcasts, Discovery Channel podcasts, Dilbert, and a bunch more. On top of that, there are several feeds that are not updating at all. I can go to the feed page and see new episodes, and I can download the new episodes just fine from within iTunes, but they refuse to acknowledge that there's anything new within the Podcasts app. As a workaround, I tend to still use iTunes for the feeds I have found to cause a problem, and unsubscribed from feeds that I have not found to be causing any issues. I then manually Sync those episodes onto the iPod. It's a real pain and the opposite of a convenience, but at least I'm getting my episodes. When they yank the feature from iTunes entirely, I will no longer trust the Podcast App and will probably pitch my ipod in favor of my android tablet - unless there are some REAL improvements in the next release. Of course, you could always NOT apply the upgrade to ios6 and stay on ios5...

Video podcasts not copying to 5G ipod

I have a 5G 60 video ipod and prior to updating to itunes 7 all was well. I downloaded video podcasts from the itunes store- macbreak video and podsurf
tv. Both podcasts are not on my ipod. I have an imac intel desktop. here's one
message: some of the videos in your itunes library, including the video "macBreak 14: automator photoblog," were not copied to "dave's ipod" because
they cannot be played on this ipod. Why aren't these video podcasts copied to my ipod? My ipod software is up to date and I am not using a pc.
I can still buy music and tv shows and copy them to my ipod.
Reading the discussions has me thinking something be wrong with the itunes
update.

I had the same problem with a Happy Tree Friends episode, Eyes Cold Lemonade. I just converted it to M4V with PQ DVD to iPod converter, but it does't show as a podcast, just video. One option...
Maybe if there is a way to delete it and re-download it, it might work that way... I'll have to try that.

Video Podcast not in Video Podcast Folder

I download several video podcasts from iTunes, which do not show in the video podcast folder of my iPod. What can I do to change this???
Thank you for your any assistance!

Some users seem to be having issues with the latest build (10.2.2) where files are not moved/renamed after downloading. It works fine for me in a test library so I'm not quite sure what the issue is. You may find things sor themselves out if you turn off Keep iTunes Media folder organised and then turn it back agaqin (assuming you use that feature). Hopefully the next update isn't too far away.
Alternatively you can try my script ConsolidateByMoving which should move selected files that are in the "wrong" place to their standard iTunes locations.
