Howdy all. Just a quick question but i'm trying to convert a certain file (Have different files of the same video) but it just doesn't convert. I can get it to start converting but the duration just comes up as 0:00:00 and it completes straight away. Other files have converted but it doesn't convert... It's a music video .mpg of Guns 'n Roses and i've amended the file name to multiple different names long and short and still no change. Copy and Paste of what it started at originally. C:\My Music\Guns N' Roses - live and let die.mpg Summary: Duration: 00:00:00 Bit rate: 0kbps Audio: Format: adpcm_xa Bit rate: 0kbps Sample rate: 18900Hz Channels: Stereo
Does it play on your computer in the current format? If not, then it is a bad video. If it does, post back and I'll see what I can do.
Hey TrevorUK. It may just be a bad video there fella, however, this can be checked using a very simple method.. Download Jodix free iPod video converter program from the following site; [bold]http://www.ipod-video-converter.org/[/bold] Then, simply try transcoding using this particluar program. If it still refuses to transcode, then it is an issue with that particlar video. However, if it converts sucessfully, then there may be a bug concerning certain mpg files and imTOO -- which I can look into. Happy iPodding.
Trevor, Please have a look at my above post so we can establish whether it is a video issue, or possibly a Videora issue. Happy iPodding.
Posting at the same time! Anyhoo i downloaded the program and it seems to have converted the file. The MPEG-4 file plays in Quicktime too although it does seem to skip a little after a minute or so. Do you recommend that program over imToo?
Ok i've converted all the different files i have and the audio seems a little whacky in places (different on all files) but if i move the cursor back a second or two, the part that was going strange appears fine.
I don't know if I would recommend it over imTOO, as different programs seem to suit different individuals. However, I also recommend you give Videora Video To iPod Converter a shot, then you can assess & ascertain, out of the three, which works best for you.. http://www.videora.com/en-us/Converter/iPod/ If you need any further advice, feel free to post back. Happy iPodding
