WMV files onto Ipod classic

The instructions say to simply drag and drop movies into the ipod library, and if the file is not compatible you should get an option asking if you want to convert it.
I drag my .wmv movie into the movie folder, and... nothing. Doesn't even attempt to copy it. I have tried selecting 'file', then 'import file' as well, and get no response at all. No error messages, nothing.

Trouble getting video files into iPod Video

I am having trouble getting some video files onto my Video iPod.
Some videos will sync onto my iPod, some won't.
But, they are formatted the same way. And have the same extension.
The format for the files are:
Frame size: 320x240
Video: H.264
Audio: AAC
I see nothing in Quicktime's movie properties that is different between the videos that will, and will not transfer onto my iPod.
What do I need to change to make these files update onto my iPod?
thanks a mill!

Frame rate?

Can you transfer WMV files to ipod????

Does any one know if you can transfer WMV files to ipod?? and if so how do you go about it.
Thanks,

Thanks Jonathan.
The problem is I don't know how to set any of this. These programs are quite complicated for someone who until up yesterday, didn't know the difference between a wmv file and a mpeg.
What I really don't understand is why my other wmv files imported without a problem and this one is being such a bear.
Ok, so I have 3 programs I downloaded. Media Coder, Videora, and MPEG Streamclip... So I have the wmv file. Which program do I use first? One of them makes an avi file, but then I don't know what to do with that or which program to use after I have an avi file.
I've been able to make an mpeg4 file, but it's blank. So can you tell me which program I should use first? I can come back to here to view the standards you layed out. Thanks.
P.S. As a last resort, I'd even be willing to pay someone to do it remotely if that would work.

Getting Video Files onto iPod

I have just succesfully followed the instructions on how to get a video file onto my iPod using the sample that apple supply on the web. Hoever I have had no success in getting a file that I have created which is saved as an avi file onto itunes? Can anyone help out?

Go to
http://www.digital-digest.com
Search on IPOD. This will explain how to convert video files to IPOD ready files. The programs mentioned (at least three) are free and easy to use.
On this same website is a wealth of knowledge on how to convert DVD files to any video file format you desire.

Here it is ! how to get AVI files onto ipod !!

Well yes I could make a tidy sum and sell this information but I am happy to contribute this greater knoweldge just knowing it will bring an end to a great deal of frustration as I was one of those frustrated people untill late this very afternoon. (only joking - although I was one of the frustrated ones ).
I did a google search for dvd decrypter, downloaded and installed and then went to the following link which gives you step by step instructions on how to transfer any video file and then transcode it using Videora which I did myself and can happily say that I have sucessfully transfered an AVI file (home movie) onto my ipod without any trouble at all.
sorry I havent gone into more detail but there are detailed steps on the instruction guide.
see link below and this will resolve all your problems.
P.S the only note i can add is that it would appear that dvd decypter can only take in a file from a dvd disk and not hard drive so you have to put your file onto disk first.
good luck I managed the entire process in around 1 hour that`s from finding the software in the first place to haveing the file on my ipod.

Converting wmv files for ipod

I have a couple of wmv files that I would like to put on my ipod. I upgraded to QT Pro and chose export then chose movie-ipod. I get the video to play after the conversion but there's a watermark that says something about created with flip 4 mac trial version. I thought I created it with QT Pro?!?! Please don't tell me I have to buy the flip 4 mac pro version and that I wasted $30 on the QT Pro! Or am I (hopefully) doing something wrong or do I need to change a setting somewhere? Thanks so much!!
Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.8) IPod Video 30G

I thought I created it with QT Pro?Wrong. If you want to import a WMV file and convert it to QT, you need the $29 Flip4Mac (Windows Media proprietary) codec. (And if you want to export QT files to the WMV format it will cost you another $20 for the proprietary export codec.) Same holds true for DivX v6.5 if you want that proprietary codec too. Also be advised that the Flip4Mac components only support WMV v9 and not the MS/WMA/WMA2 audio formats found in v9.2, 10, and 11 (which seem to be in popular use with DivX video in AVI containers of late. So, if you plan to use a lot of media created on Windows machines, be prepared to install a number of components (some of which will not be free) and have a lot of disappointments when you come across compression formats that have never been ported for use on a Mac, only work in OS 9, and/or are not available in universal binary format if needed.

Can't put ripped DVD files onto iPod

I've ripped a couple of 1.5hr video files to MPEG4 format using Xilisoft's DVD to iPod software (very good by the way) but I can't get these files onto my iPod (I've checked them in Quicktime and they look fine).
I've tried importing into the library then manually dragging and dropping, but they just won't copy (I don't get any warning message either). Syncing doesn't work either.
Anyone got any ideas?

What exactly happnes when you try to sync?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

Problem with transferring mp4 file to iPod Video

I used MediaFork to rip a DVD (that I own) to mp4. It looks great on my iMac and MacBook when running in QuickTime. I can import the file into iTunes.
I can play the file from within iTunes. However when I sync content to my iPod it does not show up!
When in QuickTime the following information is displayed in Movie Info.
Format: h.264 Decoder 640 x 480, Millions AAC, Stereo (L R), 44.100 khz
Data rate 1610.00 kbits/second
Every once in a while the Playing FPS changes to > 24 (like 24.10)
Is the data rate the problem??? Or what else could be the problem?
Help!
This is from the Video IPOD video specifications.
H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per sec., Baseline Low-Complexity Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48 kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
H.264 video, up to 768 Kbps, 320 by 240 pixels, 30 frames per sec., Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48 kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per sec., Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48 kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats

The data rate you mention (1610) is over the published spec (1500), so I would guess that is indeed a problem.
Also, in MediaFork, did you set the encoder to the option marked for iPod?
If not, that could be a problem. Output from the encoder labeled MAIN won't work on an iPod.
Settings I use succesfully –
File format: MP4 file
Codecs: AVC/H.264 Video / AAC Audio
Framerate: Same as source
Encoder: x264 (h.264 iPod)
2-pass encoding: yes
Quality: Average Bitrate 1250
Picture settings: 640 x XXX

Download Helper - How to download & save .wmv files WITHOUT the video being downloaded playing on screen?

Windows 7 Pro
Latest Version of Firefox
Latest Version of Download Helper
Windows Media Player and VLC are installed
When I download a video file (typically .wmv) the video begins playing on the monitor screen prior to my being able to use Download Helper to download the video and save to the hard drive. This typically results in the video stopping and playing and stopping throughout the download process because of the download speed available. There is never any issue with the final download on the hard drive.
Today I installed latest version of Firefox and Download Helper on another computer.
Windows 7
Latest Version of Firefox
Latest Version of Download Helper
Windows Media Player (only) is installed
Downloaded the same .wmv file downloaded above and the video did NOT begin playing on the monitor screen. Download Helper allowed me to download the file to the hard drive WITHOUT constantly listening to the video start/stop/start/stop etc.
What option (in which program) would allow the playing of the video to be toggled on or off while downloading the .wmv file?
Thank you.

Once the download has started, you can go to another web page. The
download should be a separate function.

Downloaded WMV files not showing video

When receive an email with a .wmv file, it appears to download correctly. When I attempt to play the file, the normal controls appear at the bottom...but I get no video, only a black screen. I can hear the audio playing, and it shows the meter below with the time remaining and time elapsed for the video. Does anyone know the fix so I can see the video?
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks

WMV files will not play on a Blackberry (different format). You'll have to download to your PC, convert to another method (AVI, MP4) and then upload to your Blackberry.

Convert DV File to iPod Video with Chapters

Hi All,
My question is simple. I have a project in FCP Suite that I want to export to an iPod with chapters. I subscribe to Podcasts that have chapters in them such as Photoshop TV.
I have exported to a DV stream from the timeline, and viewed the DV file in QuickTime player to verify that the chapters are in fact still there which they are. When converting from DV, what do I need to do to convert to a format suitable for an iPod Video with the chapters still intact so I can easily skip around on my iPod like a DVD player can. Nothing I do seems to carry the chapter markers over in the conversion process.

Michael (and George)-
We've been creating the same m4v files with similar software to George's (FC5 and Compressor2) and while we can place chapter markers in the m4v file, and that file will acurately use the markers when played in QuickTime on the computer, once the file is sent to Video iPod, the markers are not very accurate, missing the marked frame by up to 2 sec. Has it been your experience when using this feature in Compressor 3 that these markers are spot on? Would certainly appreciate your input on this,
Greg M
