How to up-load to i-Tunes then to iPod
 

I can get my videos to transfer to iTunes, but now they won't upload to the iPod? Can anyone help?!

i have the same problem.:confused:

This is new territory! Can you load other videos and are they the same file type? Does iTunes give an error message when you try to load onto iPod and does audio load ok? Are you on Windows or Mac? I don't know a lot about the Video iPod, but I'm sure yours won't be the only such questions.

The files are mpeg, and mpg. And I am on windows.. And I can get the audio files just fine.. its just the video thats having the problem going to the ipod. I get an error messege saying the file can not play on this ipod.. when it is the new ipod that can play videos. Now I think I may have to change the format.. it I can.. I don't know. :confused:

It might be worth having a look at the Apple discussion forums for the 5th generation iPod. As it is reasonably hard to finf:D this is the link:

Someone suggested to me it needs to be AVI format. But I just tested it .. & the only ones to import were mpg music videos.

iPod H.264 video format. and mpeg 4 seem to be the preferred formats for the ipod although it seems other ones will go onto iTunes. I am not keen to get iTunes 6 as Daughters mini iPod at last works .. just ..... with iTunes 5 and I don't want to break the string of good luck. so I'll let you mess with iTunes 6 LOTR:D

Sorry I was talking about iTunes 6, but if you have the video compatible iPod with the latest software then this should also apply. For iTunes I got the following as below example
(But I think O.A.H. is on the track since he's quoting directly from the apple forums!)

LOTR said "Sorry I was talking about iTunes 6" who you talkin' to LOTR :D ? :):)

(I'm keeping iTunes 5 and I don't have a video iPod)

Do you think apple would tell us how to do this? I would think they would not because they would want you to buy the videos from them. I was on download.com to see if they had software to do it, I think they do, but I don't understand the web-site and how to get it, if I am even looking at the right thing. It's metroconversions.com.
