Help getting video onto iPod Touch

[SOD'EM]

I want to upload a video to an iPod Touch. I have done this before without any problems. But something is not right. I have converted the video to iPod format, and have put it on iTunes successfully. When I plug the iPod in to sync it, it only puts the audio files on the iPod, not the video files.

 

Any clues???

Is it an MP4 file? Not all converters convert video into the MP4 container correctly, so if the headers of the file arent correct, the ipod will only pay what it can. Thats why you need a converter that actually converts to MP4 and not simply "ipod".

I have converted it to MP4, and I have tried converting it to iPod format. Both using AV video converter. I have uploaded it to iTunes, and have tried reformatting iy using there own video converter in the tools menu. When I tried that, a message appeared saying 'this video is already in the correct format'.

 

Everything else synced to the ipod when I plugged it in. Just not this video.

 

I put a film on it a few months ago, and that worked fine. But I can't get any more videos to sync on to the iPod, no matter what I try???????

Might be something wrong with the file system. have you backed your ipod up and done a factory reset on it? Or a full format?

A bit on the complicated side for me that.

Itunes should be able to back it up and wipe it.

alternativly

 

plug your ipod in

 

go to where it lists your ipod under devices on the left and click it

 

on the top it lists movies click this - theres a little tick box that says sync films this might not be ticked

you could always download av player from the app store. That will let you play anything without hte need for conversion. I use it on my pad and its great simple to use and you can just drag and drop videos to it

i think it needs to be mp4 to do that
