Video podcasts have jerky playback on my iPod nano 4G

I've been enjoying Good Game video podcasts on my 4G iPod nano for several months:
http://www.abc.net.au/tv/goodgame/
About a month ago, the videos started stuttering badly every few seconds.
I asked ABC TV is they changed something about how they encode the videos, and they say they haven't.
Is it possible that one of the iTunes updates has changed video playback so my iPod nano can no longer cope with decoding the video stream?
Does anyone know if there is a fix for this problem?
Cheers,
m.

Have you reconnected your iPod since listening to the podcasts in question? If not, then you need to do that so that the iPod can update. The podcasts won't delete from the iPod itself after you listen to them until it is updated. (Someone correct me if I am wrong)

I have a 5th gen ipod and recently all of my video podcasts stopped showing up in my ipod. They still show up and play in itunes, just not in my video podcast list on my ipod. All of the podcasts are Quicktime Large.

I have a 5th gen ipod and recently all of my video podcasts stopped showing up in my ipod. They still show up and play in itunes, just not in my video podcast list on my ipod. All of the podcasts are Quicktime Large. For some reason my ipod has stopped supporting Quicktime Large. Now I've had to redownload every video podcast as Quicktime Small.
Anyone have any ideas whether this is from the the software version 1.3 and if they'll fix it in the next update?

I'm having same problem, but QT Small videos are also not getting synced.

Videos and video Podcasts won't sync anymore to iPod

I have a 5th generation 30G Video iPod and used to have all the same videos and video Podcasts playing just fine on my iPod. I reinstalled Mac OS X on my Macbook and added all the videos and videoPodcasts back to my iTunes library and while they play in iTunes just fine they don't sync to iPod anymore... The error message says:
'Some of the videos in your iTunes library, including video "..." were not copied to the iPod " X " because they cannot be played on this iPod.'
And as said - in the past these same videos and video podcasts were playing just fine on this very same iPod... Can anyone help?
All the audio library is being synced and plays perfectly well on iPod. And games too.

Andrew, have you tried re-installing QuickTime? That might fix it. Download it from Apple:

They haven't shown up in the refurbished section for a bit so they may be sold out. You probably will need to use eBay, Amazon, etc

Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

Hello! Not a problem, because you will get a Ipod Nano 1st generation as a replacement, not a new / latest generation.

"Video Podcast" Was not copied to the iPod because it cannot be played on this iPod

I recently got an Ipod Nano 7th Gen. I am trying to put a video podcast, from itunes, onto it but keep getting the message that it cannot be played. From reading other answers I have seen that the definiton can be an issue but as far as I know, video podcasts are all SD.
Is this a problem with my iPod, itunes or my iPod software?

We are encountering the same problems with both our new iPod Nano 7th Gen. Both iTunes and iPod have been updated with the most recent software.

Can't get video podcast to show up on my iPod

I've downloaded tv programs, even compressed some of my own video work and put it on my iPod....but for some reason, the 3 video podcasts I downloaded don't show up after my iPod updates. I searched in the music section as well as the video section under "podcasts," but nothing is there. Any suggestions? Any way to drag and drop the file onto iPod?

Any suggestions?
Would suggest you check the format of the podcast. I downloaded one last week and found Sorenson video and QDesign audio tracks. If it is in what appears to be the correct format and parameter settings, then try converting it yourself and see it it syncs.
If the converted file syncs, then I would conclude that the author's workflow may not have included adequate "field testing." (Likely relying on past successes with a particular application and/or settings.) This happened to me this week when I downloaded an Apple product/technique tutorial. (Strangely enough, the only one in the series I had tourble with delt with podcasting.) If the files still refuses to sync, then I would suggest you recheck your iTunes preference settings
Any way to drag and drop the file onto iPod?
"Drag 'n Drop" is, i believe, a manual management function. However, I doubt it would bypass the iTunes files scan to check on whether or not the file is iPod compatible. (I assume you aren't talking about simple data storage here.) On the other hand, at least one individual has claimed to have "hacked" his way into the loading of video data rate restricted files. Unfortunately, I am not interested in wasting space in order to put "DVD quality" files on an iPod. (If I want DVD quality, I'll watch the DVD.)

My Video Podcasts have Disappeared

I do not have my ipod set to update any of my media, and I recently noticed all my video podcasts are no longer visible on the ipod. They are however visible in iTunes. Why is this and how can I solve this issue?
PC Windows XP Pro

Masna, I appreciate your quick response however I do not believe this will solve my issue for the following reasons:
The video podcasts are already on my ipod. When I click on my ipod in itunes (when connected to my pc) I can watch the podcasts. They are no longer on my harddrive. However, when I disconnect my ipod I cannot "see" the podcasts. I could see them before but now I cannot. There is a little playlist icon below my ipod. I just checked the video mode on these podcasts and it is set to movie. If I set it to TV Show can I browse it on the TV Option on my ipod? These episodes were downloaded for free from the itunes music store.

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.

Some video podcasts won't sync after using iPod to move music to new comput

Hi -
I used my iPod to move my music (and podcasts) to a new computer (from a PC laptop to a Mac Pro). Now when I try to resync it (on either computer) some video podcasts are not synched from iTunes to the iPod. In some cases, all podcasts from the same subscription fail to sync; in other cases, some podcasts synch and others from the same subscription don't. All of the podcasts that fail to synch are video podcasts.

yeah i'm having the exact same problem so thought i'd up this rather than start a new thread. for me, one particular video subscription won't sync at all, and another is fine apart from three videos. particularly annoying as it took an absolute age to actually download them, and now they won't sync.
anyone got any bright ideas?

Some of my Movies and video podcasts won't upload to my ipod touch

I've been uploading my dvd collection on to my computer through a handy application called handbreak, the main reason for this was so I could watch it on my ipod touch on its beautiful display, but the problem is that it won't upload because the video says the ipod won't support it. I checked the format, mp4 which works in itunes fine, then I checked the size of each and they were quite big since I set the encoding to normal but It should upload even if it's a little big. Another problem is with my video podcasts, some of their HD content won't transfer over, this majority blows because I don't want to compress every single episode. Why is it not working?, and could their be a solution to this besides compressing each file in quicktime pro?

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Right click on the video (or select multiple videos and right click) and choose "Convert Selection for iPod/iPhone".

Video podcasts only playing in audio on ipod touch

Hey my ipod touch only plays the audio of the downloaded video podcasts, can someone help me please ?

If you play through music > more> podcast you will only hear audio! On the home screen there is a video app right next to the music app. So click on the video app and scrll down and you should be able to watch video podcast from there!
