Video Podcast Size/Length Limit for iPhone?

Hi;
I have subscribed to the "Programming Paradigms" video podcast from Stanford University available through iTunes freely [1].
The lesson's download to the Mac fine and play on it, but when i sync them to my 1st generation iPhone (v2.1) only the first episode works as expected and other lessons plays without a video (only audio).
I realize first lesson's length is smaller (17 min. versus 40+ min.) than others, is there a video podcast size or time limit for iPhone exists and if so how can i bypass these limits?

Thanks,

The standard itself doesn't have these limitations, but each "device" may have it's own limitations that you need to be wary of. For example, I can encode an .mp4 video file that will play back fine on a Playstation 3, but, due to it's bitrate, will not play back on an iPod.
However, any app on a computer that is listed as being able to playback MPEG-4 content will recognize it as such and play it back.

Video output size to use for a (horizontal) Lower Third.

Hi. I would like to know what the video output size to use for a (horizontal) Lower Third. I will be very grateful for your help. Thanx in advance. Sam.

Make it the same horizontal & vertical size as your video. The upper 2/3 needs to be transparent.

Video Podcast on iPod Classic vs iPhone 4

Some video podcasts will not load onto my iPod classic but WILL on my iPhone 4. I'm using iTunes 10 on a macbook. i read on this forum about converting video podcasts to iPod format, and that it doesn't always work. I'm just trying to find out why there is a difference between the iPod and the iPhone.
THANKS

MORE INFO:
I have also noticed that of the 4 video podcasts I have tried to download on my iPod classic, the only one that was successful had a bit rate, total bit rate, and size in MB that was approx double of what the other three had. I also have, since my last post, tried to convert the podcasts to an " iPod version" from the ADVANCED drop down menu in the iTunes toolbar, but it made no difference.
Any help would be appreciated!

Random selections of mp4 videos won't sync, convert for iPhone option in iTunes comes up with unknown error 2002, help please!

I've been having massive issues copying mp4 video files onto my iPhone 4 from my windows 7 (64 bit) pc.
I converted a large number of avi files into mp4 using aiseesoft movie converter and most of them work just fine.
However about a quarter of the files with no Obvious difference in size and converted the same way will not sync.
Instead a message appears saying these cannot be played on the iPhone.
Also when then trying to use the iTunes convert for iPhone function It fails for unknown error 2002.
Any help on why this is happening and how to stop it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

When the videos are in the Movie library, try using the Create IPod and iPhone Version in the Afvanced tab of iTunes.

Size/time limit for AppleTV movie files?

Scenario: I have a few hundred iMovie projects that I want to convert to AppleTV movies. My first project was just under two hours, and it converted fine. The second project was just under three hours total (33GB .DV file), and it crashed at 99% completion on two separate tries, giving me a cryptic error message (15+ hours processing time each attempt -- aargh). I am using the latest version of QuickTime Pro to convert the projects, and not running anything else during the conversions.
Right now the only solution that seems to work is to split anything over 2 hours into two parts, which seems kind of pointless and diminishes the advantage of the whole AppleTV concept in the first place. Granted most of the projects are around 2 hours, so most of the time it won't be an issue, just on the longer iMovies.
Anyone know if there is a size/time limit to files that you can convert? Would it be better to import the .DV files into iTunes and try to convert them there instead? Or is there a way to do it from iMovie (I am using the original iMovie HD version from a few years back). Thanks.

Thanks Winston & Alley Cat for your insights -- I figured I would just do a straight QT conversion to the proper specs and did manage to find it by digging around a bit. In Export(Share) / QuickTime / Expert Settings there is a preset for AppleTV buried deep in there.
Sorry, I feel like a bonehead for not being able to locate this option earlier. I thought QuickTime Pro was one of the few apps that could only do this conversion, thinking that my version of iMovie HD (circa 2006) was too old to have the AppleTV preset. (Must have been added during one of the QuickTime updates.)
Anyways, success to report. I tried re-converting the file (2 hours 47 minutes length) and it worked this time. The total conversion time was actually quite a bit faster than QT Pro plus it takes one less step now. I don't know why it is so much faster than QT Pro, but it compressed to the right specs H.264 AAC codec and aspect ratio.
BTW, I really, really like my AppleTV. Not perfect, but it sure is cool and everyone who comes over and sees it is kind of blown away by what this little box can do.

Can't get video podcasts to play on my Iphone

When I download them, they display properly in ITunes in the little video window. However, when I try playing them from my Iphone, I get audio only. What gives? Thanks for any help!
- robjohn

This is an area where the iPhone does not work like the iPod with Video.
In my case, I create a series of playlists called "Podcasts 1 Day Ago", "Podcasts 2 Days Ago", etc. so I can sort through them in order that I added them. On the iPod, going in to Playlists-> will just play the audio for the videos in that list, but going in through Movies->Video Playlists will play audio and switch on video when it hits a video podcast. Works great.
On iPhone, this does not work. It ignores video items in the playlist, but if you manually allow the specified podcasts to sync they will show up under video. So you have to do it in multiple places, and can't just rely on a playlist like the iPod does.
Maybe version 1.1?

Preventing video podcasts from filling up my iPhone memory

I like to download video podcasts into iTunes so that I can watch them later on my computer, but I don't want them syncing onto my iPhone and using up all of it's memory. Is there a way to keep them in iTunes without having them transfer onto my phone or even better, allow me to transfer only one or two of them onto my phone and keep the rest in iTunes?

Hi there Dave in Anacortes,
I sounds like you may need to manually manage your Podcasts. Take a look at the article below for more information.

Some videos and video podcasts wont play on my iphone 4

Video podcasts won't sync to iPhone

Got a confusing problem here, with a MacBook Pro (up to date on all software) and a new iPhone 3GS.
I can download and play video podcasts within iTunes on my Mac. However, they will not sync from iTunes to my iPhone, even after I use the "Create iPhone version" command and it spends ten minutes converting them. iTunes gives the error that the video cannot be played on my iPhone, so it's not going to transfer it.
Here's the confusing part: if I use iTunes on the iPhone itself (not on the Mac), I can download and play those very same video podcasts successfully. Huh? How come they work fine on my iPhone when downloaded directly to it, but not when downloaded via my Mac?
Any suggestions? FYI, here is one of the videos in question:
http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?i=56243345&id=2965 02584

I've been having the same problem: video podcasts contained in playlists are skipped over the the sync process. (These same video podcasts will sync fine if I choose something like "sync only the 5 most recent episodes of the selected podcasts." The trouble is, I've just started watching a long video podcast and would like to watch it from the beginning rather than from the end.
Any advice... short of deleting all but the desired episodes and then slowly re-downloading them as needed?

Video podcasts downloaded directly to my iPhone

I can't get rid of. I've downloaded directly some video podcasts on my iPhone and now they won't got away. even when I connect to iTunes. My iTunes is set up so that when a podcast is [played it goes away and is erased from iTunes and the iPhone. It works when I download the podcast from iTunes but keeps sticking around on the iPhone when it's been downloaded directly to the iPhone even when it's been played.
Can I erase podcast directly on an iPhone and how?
Thx

delete it from your itunes library and sync your iphone
or swipe left in your iphone to show delete button (iOS 5 only)

EIM 4.3.1 - Length limit for email alias

Hi all,
Is there a way to increase the length of the email address when creating the aliases? What we found is there's a 40 character limit for that field.
Thanks!
-JT-

JT,
You have me at a disadvantage as I only know Exchange with EIM.
A server rule in Exchange can copy and forward, or simply forward. In the latter, the original no longer exists in the first inbox. When the agent replies, EIM can use the original mailbox as the one to reply to. The EIM mailbox can be hidden from the customer.
Doing this provides lots of useful things. If you have a number of original targets you can collate them, or you can split emails based on server rules to different inboxes that EIM watches and easily route to queues based on aliases. Lots of options.
Regards,
Geoff

Videos from PC to iTunes for Iphone

Viewing Video Podcast/Size of Video Playback

Greetings-
Before updating my version of iTunes, I could select the size of the playback by holding command-2 (for example). Now I automatically get a full screen playback, and whenever I try to make the playback size smaller the whole video stops playing.

Incorrect Video Capacity shown in iTunes (for iPhone)

I have the iPhone 3G (16GB). On the capacity bar in iTunes, it says that I have almost 4GB of video stored on my iPhone, when I actually have no videos on my iPhone. I have heard this is a problem others have experienced also, but I could not find an answer when searching through the other posts.
When I open my iPod (on my iPhone), and go to the video section, old rental movie videos (that have expired and are not longer available) pop up on my iphone screen VERY briefly and immediately disappear. They do not show up in my itunes library and should not be on my iphone.
Is there a way to fix this glitch? I'd rather not have to 'manually manage' all the music/video on my iphone because that would be a hassle (or am I wrong?).
What is the best way to go about fixing this? It's not really causing a big problem now, because I still have more capacity. But, I'm afraid that if I continue to rent videos that I will no longer have extra capacity available....
Thanks for any help!

How to have Itunes auto Sync after the podcast auto download? (for iphone 3gs- but I think it can be iphones in general)

I want to have itunes download the podcast first and then sync to my iphone automatically. It is in the reversed order, so I have to manual sync again after the auto downloads. How can I do this? Thank you

Contact the seller because the iPhone seems to be not unlocked. Only
the Carrier to which the iPhone is locked can unlock it. If it is an AT&T
iPhone, return it or sell it because AT&T will not unlock for anyone
for any reason.
