Video podcasts going under music

everytime i download a video podcast and copy it to my ipod, it wont show up under video, only under music, and then it will only play only in strictly audio. any ideas?

Except for ones I've re-converted myself after download, mine show up on the iPod in Videos > Video Pod > Podcast Name > Podcast Edition Name
Specifically "Ripplecasts" downloaded manually from iTunes show up here, as well as, podcasts subscribed to via the iTunes "Advanced" option using the URL "http://homepage.mac.com/jrwalker4/podcast.xml"
If you try these and get different results, then there may be some preference difference in iTunes or iPod settings which might be worth looking into more deeply.

1) Got a windows formatted ipod, how do i change it to be mac formatted?
Download the latest iPod software, run it, and choose the Restore option. This will reformat your iPod (erasing it, of course) to Mac-native format.
Sorry, no idea on question #2.

Music Video artists appearing under Music on iPod

I have music videos on my iPod that display just fine, and they sort just fine, but the artists that are attributed with the videos are appearing under the Music > Artists section. This is either causing duplicate entries that lead to the same list of albums, or an entry without any albums.
What's going on?

It's normal. Because that video file is also an audio file, it shows up under songs, artists, etc., just as any music file would. (And the entries aren't "duplicates," if I'm understanding you correctly. The file is only on your iPod once, it's just accessible from several different menus.) If you want to express to Apple your displeasure with this feature in iTunes, Google Apple feedback iTunes and send them feedback through the form.

MPEG-4 Video Files going into Music Section of itunes

I recently had to restore my ipod because of some problems to it so i decided to get some software to back up all of my videos on the ipod (about 25GB worth). I transferred all of them to my computer and then restored the ipod. I tried putting the MPEG-4 videos onto the ipod but they keep going into the Music Section and not the video section. I can watch them using quicktime (they come up with video and sound) but in itunes it is just sound. Anyone got any ideas as to whats the problem? Any help would be great as its so much effort involved into putting videos on an ipod

Video podcast shows up as music podcast

when i downloaded the video podcast off itunes music store,on the itune it shows up as video but in my ipod it wont show up as a video but shows up as musics as in i cant see anything but i can still hear sounds.Does anyone knwo how i can get the podcast to show up as video? and where i can find it?

Is it showing up under Videos-->video podcasts?
If you access it through the music section of the iPod (music-->podcasts), it will not play the video.
If you are accessing it through videos-->video podcasts and it still only plays audio, try this.
Go to videos-->video settings-->TV Out-->off

Podcasts in Itunes appear under Music Genre Podcasts

Does anyone know how to get podcasts downloaded/subscribed to using iTunes to appear on their iPod under PODCASTS instead of appearing under Music > Genre > Podcasts ?
Thanks

They should appear in both places. Do you have a "Podcasts" entry under "Music" on the iPod? If not, make sure your synching options include Podcast updating in iTunes ("iPod Options" while the iPod is visible to iTunes).

Podcasts under Music?

I want to keep my podcasts seperate from Music. In iTunes it displays under podcasts but when I transfer to ipod the podcasts are under music so when I want to listen to music sometimes it gets mixed with podcasts. How can I keep them seperate? Under Music ->Albums I also see podcast topics! Would appreciate your help

Podcasts will always be n Music; I don't know why, it just is.
However, you can put Podcasts on the Main Menu/Screen.
Settings>Main Menu> turn Podcasts on. (On the ipod of course)

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.

Is there any way to keep streaming the audio portion of a video podcast when I leave the Podcast app?

If I leave the Podcast app while playing an audio podcast, I can still hear the audio. However, if I leave a video podcast to do something else like answer emails, the audio portion doesn't keep playing. This means that if I have a video podcast going, I can't do anything else with my iPad while it's playing. I multitask all the time while playing my podcasts and then come back to the video if it sounds like there is something interesting to see. This one glitch unfortunately makes the Podcast app unusable for me. I'll keep using the Downcast app for a while longer because of this but if Apple fixes this problem, I'll be back since the rest of the app looks great.

Thanks Kiwi. It doesn't make sense to me though, as that would seem to be only a simple change in the operating system, not a hardware 'necessity'.

Bug in playing back video podcasts from playlists?

I subscribe to about 2 dozen podcasts, a few of which are video podcasts. I have a smart playlist that collects all the podcasts together, based an their Album name. I have a second smart playlist that collects all unplayed & unrated members of the first podcast playlist.
I have my Nano set to autosync the second smart playlist. If I navigate to this playlist (via main menu->Music->Playlists)I can see the video podcast titles listed there, see the little TV symbol next to them signifying they're video, but when I try playing them, I see a single frozen video frame, and the audio plays. Rotating the Nano to landscape mode doesn't make a difference. It happens on all my video podcasts.
But when I play the video podcast via main menu->Podcast (enabled via Settings->General->Main Menu), it'll play normally.
Has anyone else run into this bug? Anyone able to play video podcasts via the Music->Playlist?

This is a serious bug. I was puzzled how to play the video podcasts which were put in a playlist using the same method as yours: 1st Smartlist collects all podcasts, and the second one collects the unplayed ones. Then I synch the second smart play list. No matter what I do, I cant see the video. However thanks to your post, I now know I can see it via the much more "normal" route of selecting podcasts from the main menu.

Video Podcasts show up as Music

Here is my problem:
I downloaded a couple video podcasts from iTMS and copied them to my ipod. They play fine in iTunes, but on my ipod they dont show up anywhere in the video section, only in the music section. When I 'get info' within iTunes they both show as 'Movie' in the Movie Kind field. I am using iTunes version 6.0.2.23 (Windows), Cd Driver 2.0.43, Cd Driver DLL 2.0.3.2, Ipod Video 30G, Version 1.0.
Now for some additional info...
When I am transfering the video to the ipod, I am doing this manually because I use both my home and work machines with my ipod.
Here are some things I have tried:
I first attempted to download the video podcasts using iTMS on my work machine with the result being that the videos showing up under my music and not showing up under video anywhere.
I downloaded a video (not using iTMS) on my work machine and then imported it into the library and then manually copied it to my ipod and it worked just fine.
I attempted to 'Convert The Selection For Ipod' within iTunes (again work machine) for the iTMS downloaded video podcasts and it tells me that the files were not converted because they are already in the correct format. I am wondering if the problem is somehow related to the fact that these files have been downloaded through the podcast subscription? I cant see any reason why, but just throwing some things out there.
I attempted to download the video podcasts using iTMS on my home machine with the same results. As a last effort at this time, I tried the transfer again, and left it to transfer overnight.
Using a different computer (not work or home) I rebuilt Windows XP Pro from scratch. The only thing installed was service pack 2, then installed the same version of iTunes (6.0.2.23) and had a slightly different experience. One of the podcasts in questions did the exact same thing, that is showing up under music and no video playing. The other podcast however ended up showing up and played fine. Now my problem is I dont know if the new machine transferred it correctly or if it was transferred correctly from my home machine the night before (I overlooked checking it before attempting the transfer on the new machine.) I have since then attempted to transfer the problem file on the new machine and it failed again.
Now, has anyone managed to experience and resolve this issue? I know that I should update the ipod to 1.1 and try again, but since I have read about all of the problems with video on the new version I am a little hesitant to do that. Anyone have any suggestions on what ot try next, or am I going to have to bite the bullet and upgrade the ipod?
Thanks in advance,
Rob
Ipod Video 30G Version 1.0 Windows XP Pro

OK, tried some new things, here is the latest update:
I went ahead and bit the bullet, upgraded to 1.1. Deleted the video files from the music section of the ipod and then attempted to manually transfer the files. Still, the same symptoms occured.
Next step, performed a restore on the ipod (using the latest updater (thus retaining version 1.1), then set the ipod to sync with itunes on the work machine. Videos uploaded fine, show up in the Videos section and even play as videos on the ipod! Now we are getting somewhere.
Once I arrived home, I plugged the ipod into my home machine, told it yes, that I wanted to delete the content and attach the ipod to itunes on my home machine. Once all my music downloaded to the ipod, I subscribed to the video podcasts, they downloaded, then I synced the ipod, and they show up in the video section and play as videos. Everything seems to work fine!
My next step will be to disable auto sync and manually add some video podcasts to the ipod and see if it will function then. I will update the thread once that is complete.

Audio podcasts going into show folders, but not video podcasts

After upgrading to iTunes 7, I've noticed my video podcasts are not going into the proper show folders, but rather just being dumped into the ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Library/Podcasts/ directory. Audio podcasts are working fine though, and each get moved into their proper show folders. Its just highly annoying, because most of the video podcasts don't have descriptive names, just the date of release, so its confusing when I go to burn some off to DVD (my podcasts directory, I keep at around 10gigs, and thats just the current stuff). Its not just *.mov, but *.m4v's as well. Anyway to fix this?
Mac mini 1.42ghz Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I'm finding it really annoying, because its getting really disorganized.

How do I prevent videos/video podcasts from showing up in my music library?

Right now, videos and video podcasts are mixed in with my music. How do I keep them separate (so I only see music when I go to "Music", etc)?

You don't.

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?
