Video Podcasts - just audio no video

I subscribe to a couple video Podcasts, but don't view them often. But one popped up that looked interesting so I tried and only got the audio.The video window did not open.
I checked an older video that came with a purchased album and again, the sound played but the video did not open.
No Video just Audio. Any thoughts?
I'm running iTunes 10.6.1
Lion 10.7.3
PowerBook 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7

PS - I should mention that both the podcast and the music video played in the distant past, but I can't remember when I last tried to view them. Could be several versions of iTunes ago, certainly not since upgrading to Lion.

Convert video podcast to audio podcasts?

Hi,
Is it possible, within iTunes, to extract the audio from movies, video podcasts, and iTunes U videos? I know that I can export them into Quicktime and do it there, but it's time consuming. The reason I ask is that I download the files to my iPod, and I only need the audio. (I'm resubmitting this question because I received no response the first time.) Thanks.

Well, this is really weird but sometimes the option is there and sometimes it's not.
Here's proof - look between "Reset Plays" and "Consolidate Files":
So the real question is how to get that to show, and I can't say for sure how I did it. The trick seems to be related to whether the episode is selected or not before you right-click on it, but that's not entirely it. I think what I did was click on an audio file, then right-click on the video file while the audio file was still highlighted.
It may be easier to just open the video in Quicktime Player, and use that to export the AAC audio.

Can u convert a video into just audio?

can u convert a video into just audio so i can play it on my nano

Hi,
thanks Stefan Maric and wew64.
in the RTPSocketAdapter.java of the 'Implementing Custom Data Sources and Media Handlers' example I can take the groups of bytes previous to they where send for UDP.
My Idea its take this bytes, make groups of 259 bytes and send them over the ISDN. In the Clients side recover this information and make groups with the original size (that I must send with the video information over my ISDN connection) and send them with UDP to the same host and receive with a regular JMF application.
I am not sure if I will have problems with the synchronize of the video and audio doing this process, any idea??
Thanks a lot

Ipod won't play video/podcasts or audio only a black screen with the play symbol and volume/progress bar. games work fine! any ideas?

Ipod video classic 5th gen won't play video/podcasts or audio only a black screen with the play symbol and volume/progress bar. games work fine! any ideas?

Here's some more info.
I tried installing the latest iTunes to my housemate's PC, logging into iTMS with my account, authorizing his machine to play my content, restoring my iPod to the factory settings, downloading the videos and copying them to my iPod.
It worked fine, and I can play my videos.
I have done the exact SAME thing on my own home PC twice, after completely uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and the Apple Software Updater. But I still can't get any videos downloaded on my home PC to play on my iPods.
Any thoughts?

Video Podcasts Playing Audio Only

I'm trying to play some video Podcast's that I DL'd from Itunes, I made sure they were Ipod Compatible and not Apple TV, they show up under Podcasts but play audio only. This is a Brand New 30gb 5.5g

You say you get the audio only. What do you see when you play the podcast: Does it look like when a song is playing from your music library? If so, you may just be accessing the Podcast from the wrong menu. Make sure you go through the Videos menu.

Convert video podcast to audio podcast

Hello!
My ipod can't show videos. There's a weekly discussion on a video podcast, that I would like to listen to on my ipod (without image because there is no visual action...). Is there possibility to extract just the sound and produce a "new" podcast out of this?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Converting video podcasts into audio podcasts?

I have an iPod Nano, so I obviously can't watch video podcasts on it. But that's fine with me because most all of my video podcasts are of stand up comedy. Is there anyway that I can just take the audio track off of a video podcast and save it as audio to put onto my Nano so that I can listen to the stand up comedy?
Thanks for your time if you're answering me.

Open the file in QuickTime and select Export from the File menu. In the dialog box that opens, select Sound to AIFF from the drop-down menu next to Export (near the bottom of the box). Add the exported file to iTunes and either leave it in AIFF format or use the Advanced menu (Convert Selection to _) to convert the file to MP3 or AAC. If you convert it, you can delete the original AIFF file afterwards.
You should be able to put the file on your iPod like you would any other music file even if you leave it in AIFF format.

While playing videos on itunes, audio and video will stop and start. It just started doing this recently and it does it with all my itunes videos..help!!

While playing videos on itunes, the audio and video will stop and start several times during playback. This just started recently and it does it on all my videos. Help!!

Try to download the application VLC.
It is a media player that should be able to play any audio or video file you may have. If your videos play flawlessly using that application, then the issue is with iTunes and Quicktime, as they are both essentially similar software types when it comes to playing media.
In that case you may need to install a plug-in file called Perian, in order for the videos to play correctly within iTunes or at least Quicktime...

Problem: Videos with just audio.

The videos I have on my iPod now just play the audio and are now organized in my "music" menu. I had a season of two different tv shows that were in my iPod as two seperate Video Playlists to organize them. They worked fine for months until recently I noticed them in with my music artists. I go to play a video and it just gives me audio and no video. The video playlist are now also just audio playlists. When I click on the videos in iTunes they play fine, but I noticed there is no longer the little TV icon next to each video. I believe I recently update to a new version of iTunes...is that the problem?

What I discovered the problem was that, I lost my video capabilites on my movie tracks when I plugged my iPod up to a computer that was using an earlier non-video version of iTunes, converting the .mp4s to just audio tracks. I have not however, short of pulling the videos off and re-importing them my iPod via a newer version of iTunes, figured out a way to convery them back in iTunes.

Video podcasts - no audio only playback

Hi,
I have the original iPhone and am a very active podcast user. Several of the podcasts I frequent are video format and it appears with the new 2.0 firmware the ability for audio only playback of video podcasts has been lost. It used to be that if you accessed a video podcast in iPod mode from More/Podcasts they would playback audio only. This was tremendously helpful as I often want to check email, surf Safari etc while listening to these podcasts. Now they will only playback in Video mode so if you navigate out of iPod mode to any other apps the podcast turns off. This was also helpful for saving battery life when walking around or unable to view the video.
Is everyone else using 2.0 firmware experiencing this? Does this sound like bug or lost feature?
Apple please fix/re-enable what was a great feature!
I appreciate hearing from others.
Thanks,
Steve

It seems to be doing the same on mine. I also used this feature and loved it. What's worse is that you can't turn off the screen with the sleep button, as that turns off the podcast playback too. So it seems you must be playing the video in order to hear it (wasting battery if your phone is in your pocket).
I can only guess they removed it as people got confused over why their video podcast was playing back in audio only. Make it an option that we can choose at least, rather than reduce the functionality this way.
PS. While I'm complaining, why is there still no "Shuffle by Album" option...

Video Podcast issue with iPod Video

Hi
I just upgraded from 60GB photo to 80GB video and am having problems playing back some video podcasts. It plays back some but not others. The ones that don't work have audio but the video is jerky, i.e. it looks as if it is playing a still slideshow. I have checked the problem videos in iTunes and they play fine in there.
Regards, Simon Smith

If anyone knows of an answer to this problem, I'd be grateful as well... having the same thing happen with a couple of my video podcasts as well.
Cheers,
Darren

Playing Video Podcasts on my new Video iPod?

Just got in my new 30 gig. video iPod and spent several hours charging it up and loading all my music, podcasts and video podcasts. However, I haven't been able to watch any video podcasts. It will play the audio but that's it. What am I not doing right or was this just a misunderstanding on my part?
Thanks.
Brian

Just figured it out. I was trying to watch the videos under the music section. Once I looked under 'videos' everything was cool.
Life. is. good.

Video Podcasts Only Listed Under Video Playlist Recently Added

I downloaded Flight of the Conchords video podcasts (awesome show), but they only appear under the recently added menu not under the Video Podcast Menu. Any ideas?
The playback is great, but its a bit of a hassle to go to the recently added list.
Gracias!

So when you go under Videos, Video Podcasts, it's not there?
Since you downloaded it from iTunes, I wouldn't expect it to act this way. (Podcasts from other sources are often tagged improperly and won't land in the correct folder.)
You could check the tags on it and see if anything looks odd. You might try downloading another video podcast to see how it behaves. It could just be something's not quite right with this one.
Other options are to tell iTunes not to sync it, then sync it back onto the iPod. If all else fails, you may need to Restore the iPod and then resync everthing back onto it.

Can't synch video files, video podcasts or convert iTunes video to iPod vid

I don't know what has changed recently - I don't recall a new version of iTunes being installed but I am on iTunes 9.1.0.79 under WindowsXP.
I am no longer able to synch video podcasts which have been downloaded via Juice and video from iTunes-subscribed podcasts which were both in the right format and synching happily before whatever it was that changed, changed.
In addition, I cannot right-click and convert video to iPod format - that option isn't there. It has either gone (boo) or the video IS in iPod format in which case why isn't it synchcronising?
I've spent many hours now trying to work out what's changed, gone wrong, what kind of settings need to be changed to get back to where I was.
HALP!

I'm having the same issues! I used to be able to convert video, but that option is no lnoger there. My video is in a Quicktime format(which I thought was supposed to be compatible with itunes anyway) and it won't play.
And since when aren't you allowed to email customer support?? They want me to pay a min of $29 to have an analyst call me at my convenience? Bunch of greedy bastards!
