Simple question

[sparks5314]

i used the software and i just got my ipod video and it converted fine and then it uploaded itself to itunes music section and then it synced fine to the ipod the only problem is when i go to play the movie from my ipod all i get is sound. what do i do to get the movie playing?

[msopnet]

at iPod main screen, go to:

Videos -> Video Settings -> TV = Off

[sparks5314]

the tv out is already switched to off... is the video supposed to show up in the videos section or stay in the songs section of the ipod?

[msopnet]

Video section - did you set it as a TV Show in iTunes?

You need to specify Show Title, Episode, etc for the video to show up.

[sparks5314]

how do i set it as a tv show?

[msopnet]

Nevermind, I thought you may have had it set as a TV Show.

At your iPod main screen, go to Settings -> About

Does it show that any videos are on there?

Where does your video appear when you're in iTunes (music, TV Shows, Movies)?

[sparks5314]

i went to the about section on the ipod and it showed that 0 videos were on it and the video is in the music section in itunes for some reason that is why i contacted you. this is my whole question right here.

[msopnet]

That's odd, please post a console log as described below - there must be a problem with the source video you're trying to convert.

This file doesn't seem to be viewed correctly by Videora. It's only importing the Audio Stream, actually it doesn't even see a Video Stream. This is why you only get audio in your output. You may have to try downloading a different version.

You can also try using AVS Maker (below). I can't guarantee it will work with this file, though. Instructions are in the help file.

Videos classified as "music videos" get put in the audio section with the rest of your audio. Videos classified as TV Shows don't show up at all unless you at least set a show title. But, as msopnet pointed out, you're missing a video stream.
