Watch a movie on my iPod classic?

I have a movie on a DVD, and want to load it onto my iPod (classic) so that I can watch it on my iPod. Can I import this movie into iTunes and then synch it to my iPod, or load it in some/any other manner onto my iPod??? THANKS!

Just in case you're talking about a DVD of home movies or other video disks that have no licensing restrictions on them I'd like to point you to some software possibilities.
You could use DVD Fab which is a fully functional product and does full reading/conversion for you. If you go and buy it ensure you get the "mobile" option.
A free software product that is very good too is Handbrake. It will read the disk and convert it to any number of formats.
Both products have profiles you can use to have the media properly formatted for the screen size you'll be viewing them on.

  • Can I play a movie from my ipod classic onto my ipad screen?

    I have a 160 GM ipod classic that holds all my movies.  I would like to buy a 16 GM ipad 3 but I know it won't be able to hold my movies.  Can I stick with the 16 GB ipad 3 but play my movies on it from my ipod classic?  I want to buy a wifi ipad and not a 4G one so when I'm driving in the car and I want to show movies to my kids in the back I won't be able to access the icloud or dropbox, etc.  Can I connect my movies from my ipod classic directly to the ipad with a cord to watch them on the ipad?

    So if I want to be able to watch all my movies or listen to all 50 GB of my songs I'll need to buy a more expensive 32 or 64 GB ipad and shuffle movies and songs in and out of it or else use the wifi and iCloud.  Is that correct? There's no way the ipad can access an external hard drive?

  • Why can't i put a movie on my iPod Classic?

    All of a sudden, I can't put a movie on my iPod Classic!  We've been transferring .mp4 and .mv4 movies to it and then playing them on our home TV setup for years . . . and now I keep getting the message "This movie was not copied to the iPod because it cannot be played on this iPod!"
    What?
    We've reformatted/restored the iPod with the latest software version a couple of times now, but to no avail.  Same message every time.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I think I've found the problem here and its solution:
    I use Handbrake 0.9.5 (mostly) to re-encode avi movies (and the like) for transfer to my Classic.  When I launch that application, the default translation preset is "Regular/Normal."  And therein lies the problem, for "Regular" most certainly does not work on the iPod Classic!  It does for my MacBook Pro, to be sure, but NOT for my old iPod.
    However, the moment I select "Apple/iPod" as the preferred encoding preset, a check mark immediately appears in the small "iPod 5G Support" box . . . which is NOT checked when "Regular/Normal" is the default.  Eureka!
    Now I have no problems moving movies to my Classic.  Nobody's at fault here . . . I just had to look a little closer at the available options.

  • HT1363 pls help, i can't add any movies to my ipod classic as i use to do beforepls help, i can't add any movies to my ipod classic as i use to do before

    pls help, i can't add any movies to my ipod classic as i use to do as before

    Why not? What happens when you try? How are you trying to sync them or do you manually manage your iPod's content?  Are you getting any specific error messages from iTunes?

  • QT "invalid public movie atom" problem - iPod Classic

    I encountered a strange "invalid public movie atom" problem relating to my brand new iPod classic (80GB):
    I used QTpro 7.4.1(14) to convert several movie/avi files for iPod (the standard procedure via the offered converting methods).
    After copying them to the iPod via iTunes, they showed flawlessly on the iPod and i was also able to watch them on my TV.
    Then i converted another file, copied it to iPod and tried to start the video, the result was a fuzzy green screen (like some encountered it with the album art) and the the iPod crashed (restarting automatically with the grey apple-logo screen).
    I did this a second time, it crashed, and after restarting again, i tried it with one of the videos that worked fine before. One of them then caused the same problem, green fuzzy screen, restarting automatically!
    When i tried to open these two files mentioned with QT from the movies folder in my iTunes library, i got the "invalid public movie atom" message and, well, the videos don´t play anymore. (keep in mind, they played before!)
    Important: i did a clean install about two weeks ago, installing all updates (OSX, QT, iPod, etc.) before doing anything else. The first videos im talking about are older, but worked well after the cleaninstall/update procedure was done. Since then nothing was changed and now suddenly the problem appears?!
    Some thoughts: i read here in other posts that A the iPod sometimes crashes because of that "album art problem", but that doesn´t have anything to do with video?! B since it worked before (the last days since i did the clean install) the bug , or whatever it is, "appeared" based on another issue?
    Thx :-/
    Hardware/Software involved: PowerMag G5 dual 2GHz., iPod Classic 80GB, OSX 10.5.2, QT 7.4.1(14), iTunes 7.6.1(9), iPod 1.1.1
    I also posted this in the QT for Mac OS section:

    There is a little piece of code that tells iTunes which movies can be played on iPod. It is called the iPod Atom. If you have a movie that is fully compatible with iPod BUT doesn't have this atom, it just won't sync regardless the movie can actually be played by the iPod. I have been having trouble with these little bastards myself...
    My guess on your problem is that the converted movies weren't 100% compatible with your iPod but they had the atom so they synced. Some AVI movies plays partially on QT.
    May I suggest that you instal Perian which adds a lot of codec handlers to Quicktime and try to re-encode some of them.
    On my side, I have been trying to find how to insert the aforementioned iPod Atom on movies that have already been encoded so I don't have to re-encode them again... But that's my personal quest. Good Luck!

  • Why can't I put movies on my iPod Classic

    I have the current generation of iPod classic and I want to put the Godfather trilogy that I have recently purchased from the itunes store onto the ipod, but everytime I do it tells me that I am not authorized to play them on this computer. I have deauthorized and reauthorized this computer with the account that I used to purchase the movies and still it will not let me put them on my classic. The ipod and itunes are completely up to date. Please help me if anyone can. thank you.

    The files are fine because I can watch them on my computer without difficulties. I just don't understand why they wouldn't be compatible on the ipod classic if I purchased them from the iTunes Store with the same apple ID that is used across all my devices, which are all authorized to play my iTunes media. I mean the error that comes up is saying that my computer is not authorized to play them, even though I just watched one of them yesterday.
    So confusing...

  • Unable to synch itune movie to my ipod classic

    Hello -
    I recently bought an ipod classic, but it will not sync my purchased movie. I've noticed the movie has an exclamation mark beside it. When I checked my itunes file; the movie downloaded to a "Downloads Folder", is there something wrong?

    Yes, it should be in your iTunes folder. The ! next to the song indicates that iTunes has lost track of where that movie file is located.
    Move it to your iTunes folder and you should have no trouble syncing it.

  • Can I play digital copies of movies on my iPod classic?

    I recently downloaded my digital copy of a movie that came with my DVD-blu ray combo pack. The movie shows up in my library, but when I try to transfer it to my new iPod classic, it says it can't transfer it becasue it can't play on this iPod. Does this mean that all digital copies can't play on this iPod? Help!

  • How to put dvd movies on to ipod classic

    How do you safely put DVD movies on to an ipod classic?

    Ripping DVDs requires breaking the encryption on those DVDs, which cannot be discussed here. You'll probably be able to find the answers by looking elsewhere. Sorry.

  • Trouble sync a HD movie into my iPod classic

    High Definition (HD) content is not compatible with your iPod Classic.  You'll need to sync the SD version of the video to your iPod instead.  See this article for more details.

  • Can't find my movies on my iPod Classic 80GB

    I downloaded some free comedy podcasts that are in movie format.  At first they wouldn't copy to my iPod Classic 80GB.  I then figured out that I needed to create a new version using the menu option in iTunes.  I did that and sucessfully copied the 8 podcasts to my iPod.  With my iPod connected to my computer, I can see the "Movies" category on my iPod and the 8 podcast videos that I placed there.  However, when I disconnect my iPod and search for them, I cannot find them on the iPod.  There is no "Movie" category on my iPod and looking for each one via the "search" feature comes up with no results.  What gives? 
    If it matters, I'm using a MacBook running 10.6.8 and using iTunes v. 11.0.1
    Thanks in advance for any ideas/help you can provide.

    Ah! But iTunes and iPods have so many options, it's sometimes difficult to know them all.
    I just happen to know that one.
    and that's what this forum is for!
