Why wont my videos transfer to my iPod?

Why won't my video clips transfer to my iPod?
They are in iTunes, and play just fine in there, but then when I try to transfer them to my iPod, an error message comes up saying:
The video was not transfered to __'s iPod, because the file could not be played on it.
Is there something wrong with the iPod itself?
or is there something wrong with my files?
Are there only specific file types that will transfer to it?
I couldn't find anything in the literature that came with it.
Please help. I need an answer quickly, if possible.
iPod video 30GB Windows XP Pro

What format are the videos you are trying to transfer? iPod has pretty specific file types it can use...

Are you following the instructions here:

You can only sync with one iTunes library/computer. Have yo previously synced with another library/computer?

Video transfer programs for iPod

Has anyone heard of a program VuVideo for transferring DVDs, etc. to the iPod? Is Videomi good?
Thanks!
5G Video iPod Windows XP

For transferring from DVD to iPod, in addition to Videora Converter, you will need DVD Decrypter, which you can also get from the Videora site. The site has a page of instructions for transferring from DVD to iPod.
From the site's main page, click the "click here" link under Videora Converter. Then click the "Conversion Guidelines" link on the left side. Scroll down a bit to see the "DVD to iPod" section. In addition to all the steps involved, there are links right there to download the two pieces of software.

Why wont elements video work

I have just ugraded to elements 12 fro 9 and the video editor side wont load although 9 was also a bust. It asks me to sign in and when I do nothing happens I can click on new project or existing and the little stripe does its thing then nothing

Do you have an active Internet Connection?
You need to Sign In to the program with your Adobe ID and password otherwise the program will not work.
http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/12/pe12-adobe-idpassword-requirement-for.html
Please check out the above in that regard, although, from what you wrote, you "signed in". It includes a description of a problem that I had with Sign In dialog.
Since you are having difficulties using Premiere Elements 9 or 12 on your computer, this suggests that the problem may be in the computer.
1. What computer operating system is your computing running on? Please describe it resources?
2. What video card/graphics card is your computer using? Is it using 2?
3. Are you running the program as Run As Administrator and from a User Account with Administrative Privileges?
4. Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements 12? Is Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 still installed on this same computer?
5. Do you have 3rd party plug-ins and codecs installed on this computer? In reviewing your installed programs, do you see any likely candidates for conflicting programs?
6. You say that Premiere Elements 9 was a "bust also". Did you troubleshoot that at the time and what were you told were your problems? Or was that never defined?
Please check out the above and then let us know if any of it applies to your situation.
Thanks.

Hello,

Why wont Youtube videos load when using Firefox 3.6.3?

I've been having issues with youtube when using firefox, the video doesnt load or show up for that matter its just a black screen where the video should be and on the bottom left hand corner of Mozzilla it says "done" I've tried everything, I updated java and flash but nothing seems to work. What can I do? I know I can use other web browsers but I really want to fix this
== URL of affected sites ==
www.youtube.com

There are a few reasons why youtube might be broken:
* An extension may be causing the problem: try the steps at [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* ''Bad item stored in the Browser Cache'': Follow the steps at [[How to clear the cache]].
* Firewall software is blocking some resources on the page: see [[Firewalls]]
If none of this works, let me know if Flash video from other sites work. Here are a few you can try:

Video transfer on new iPod

I am new to iTunes, how do I place videos on my iPod (I have a brand new 60 GB video iPod). All help is appreciated! Thank you!

What kind of videos? iTunes purchases, home movies?

Why wont my videos on my mac import to imovie?

they are in .M4V format

Are you talking about iMovie iOS, or for the Mac?
As this is the iOS forum I'll only explain for these devices.
You will need to get the videos into a photos folder on the iPad/iPhone.
They need to be the exact same format as the iDevice shoots.
Use iPhoto and iTunes to make and album that goes to the iDevice.
If the videos are in the correct format then iMovie will see them.

Why wont the music transfer from my data CDs/WinMedPlr ? I'm sposed 2 b syncn. 568 songs 2 my nano but only 161 are syncn. HELP

Why wont itunes let me update my ipod touch 4g. to ios 5

itunes has a message pop up whenever i try to update saying it "could not be restored, an unknown error occured. (3194)". how do i fix this?

The first thing to check is that you have the latest version of iTunes. Running an older version is the most common reason to get a 3194 error.
If your computer is running the latest version or upgrading doesn't fix the problem, try the steps listed in the section headed "This device is not eligible for the requested build" in this support article:

Hope this helps.

Videos organized on my IPOD

All my videos work fine.. I can see them and hear them. HOWEVER: When I add them to my itunes library and my IPOD Video they lose their folder assignments that exists on the hard Drive. The PROBLEM: They start out as organized into Home, Comedy, News, YouTube etc.. and then end up on itunes/IPOD as one long list of alphabetical videos. ???? How can I keep some sort of file organization of videos on my IPOD. INFO: My music albums are organized by itunes into folders on the MyMusic/itunes/itunes Music... the IPOD then maintains that file organization as albums on the IPOD, thats great we all know that... so why wont my videos. Is it because they reside under MyVideos??? I don't know, please help.

iPods don't support folders. Your iPod isn't organizing your music base on your folder structure. It's organizing them based on the tag info. For whatever reason, the iPod interface doesn't break out things like genre for video.
You might want to put your videos in playlists, which your iPod will recognize.
