Hi there.. i just recently bought a 30GB video ipod and i am having a little bit of trouble getting videos onto itunes. I use Videora to convert my videos into .mpeg4 and once that is complete i drag it into itunes. When i try to play the video only audio plays and no video. I find this strange because the computer is telling me it is a video file even after it is converted. Can anyone help?

does this happen with every single video, daaamion? what settings do you apply when using videora? have you tried any of these videos on your iPod yet?

Lethal, It seems to have happened with numerous videos i've copied. Is there a certain sound setting that the ipod cant handle? could it be the codec I'm using?

I doubt it very much, but I would make sure you have all the latest codecs installed. Are you using iPod version 1.1? Recently, there has been nothing but problems with the new firmware, especially rgarding video..

Yeah, I installed that a little while ago. Should I uninstall it?

Well, I recommend you downgrade. Many have found that downgrading solved the video glitches ;-)

i know, thats why you convert them.
but when i convert them the audio dosnt match the visual part.
all i was saying was that those are mostly the type of files that i have the problems with.

I have tried converting a number of DVD's to ipod format using DVD Decrypter then Vidoria, and with Im too DVD ripper platinum 4. When I do I can't seem to rip them without getting the directors commentary over the top of the video. Has anyone else had this problem or know how to get round it? I have played about with the settings and either get no sound or the directors commentary.
Thanks

When you open up DVD Decrypter click on the tab 'Stream Processing' You'll then want to click on 'Enable Stream Processing' and choose the first audio option. Usually it will say 6ch next to it [for 6 channel] as most DVD's have surround sound now. Your iPod doesn't support surround sound but it will get converted to stereo by Videora. Hope this helps.

An attempted google ad I believe, but since AfterDawn doesn't support HTML it shows up as that. Should probably be brought to a moderators attention...

Hi, I have PQ DVD and have had success converting .avi to ipod. Something has happened so that now it converts but I get no audio. I have tried numerous settings and have waded thru this thread. Any help would be great, my ipod awaits MontyPython and the Holy Grail.

Does anyone have any idea what the different settings in Vidoria mean. For example what is the difference between:
MPEG > CBR
MPEG > F-QCBR
MPEG > A-VBR
MPEG > QC-VBR
H264 > CBR
H264 > F-QVBR
Also with H264 it seems to let you change the aspect ratio but not with MPEG. Why would this be? How would I create a 16:9 MPEG?
Thanks

@Scarlet
The percentage complete for Videora isn't always right on, no one seems to be sure why it isn't always correct. You can tell how much is complete by looking at the processed box, it will have the seconds done [I think that is the right box] you can divide that by 60 to see how many minutes are complete [compare that to the length of the video] and you'll know how much is done.
@pptdgc
I'm sorry but I have no idea, hope someone else can help you.

Lethal, I'm hoping you could help me out. I use registered PQ DVD to Ipod. I have converted several AVI. files that have run great on my 30Gb ipod. I tried to convert a DVD (Zorro) and got a message saying that I didn't have a DVD player installed(I do). I was told I didn't have the right codec, so I installed dvix codec. Now video records but no audio. It is frustrating, I didn't think that I had changed anything, so I'm wondering what happened.

hey guys, a quick help out for people that need help converting dvd's.
u will need a dvd ripper if u dont have one, look for a free one somewhere or buy one. u will also need a normal video converter like videora, pq dvd etc.
with the dvd ripper, open the dvd, choose ur settings and convert to VCD (mpeg1), once its all converted open the converted dvd with the video converting program and choose ur setting there, once its been converted to ipod, open with itunes, update ipod and ur done

I was reading this and the other DVD ripping forum thread, and seeing all these programs, I am wondering, are there some that are better than others? Which ones are you guys recommending and liking more than the other ones? I just downloaded the Cucusoft DVD trail, but I don't want to have to pay for it (which I think is bullcrap that we should have to pay again to be able to fully use our IPODS) unless it's the best available program.
Thanks,
Dan
