Problem transferring videos from iTunes to iPod email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 80/100. Idlewild (4728)   ranked 2,321 out of 10,891 in computers3 months ago

Just got one of the new iPod Nanos, my first iPod that can play videos. Problem is, many of the videos can't be transferred from my Mac to the iPod because I get the message that it can't be played.

I asked a person who told me to go to an option in iTunes that converts the video file to a format an iPod/iPhone can read. I've done this, but it still won't transfer to the iPod. It seems that the file is still in the same format after being "converted" that is was in before.

Anybody run into this problem before, or know how it can be solved? Thanks in advance.

hey Idlewild, what's the original format of your video file by the way, maybe you can go through to some of the links provided on these link, support.apple.com/kb/ts1497.

Thanks much, that article did the trick!

What happened was, the previous advice given to me didn't mention that the converted file doesn't appear in the Podcasts menu, but in the Movies menu. The original, unconverted file remains in Podcasts.

BTW, the original files were .mov; apparently the iPod needs the files to be in .m4v or something similar.

Thanks again!
