iPod touch Handbrake Help

[rkearbey]

I encoded a movie using handbrake on my pc laptop.

First I encoded it using Mpeg 4 and AAC audio. When it was 100% done, Itunes wouldn't see it and import it.

So, I deleted that file and did it again but encoded it using H.264 (iPod) and AAC audio. iTunes still doesn't see it.

What am I doing wrong?

Think it will help? I just installed it this afternoon. I bought a tv show and video from iTunes and they xfered fine.

How are you expecting iTunes to see it.

Are you double clicking on the file Handbrake sees? Dragging it into iTunes? What?

Handbrake doesn't update the library for you.

(Note too that there is a setting in HB to save as M4V, which iTunes prefers).

Does it play in QuickTime?

Do you have .MP4 associated with another app?

I open itunes...click on movies on the left, then file and import on top menu. I navigate to the file and it doesn't see it.

Same thing happened with me. I use Videora iPod Touch convertor, it has worked for everything (works beautifully for my xbox, too) except for Batman Begins. It is already an .mp4 file and it is the right dimensions, audio rate, etc. for the iPod, but it doesn't work. I tried converting it, doesn't work. iTunes conversion even failed, all it did was make a 130MB audio track

Try simply dragging the file into iTunes.

Also try opening it in QT. You can have any file QT supports,including .MPG and .MOV and .AVI files in your iTunes library even if you can't sync them to an iPod.

EDIT: I see what you are doing wrong. File -> Import is to import an existing iTunes library file (in XML format) what you want to do is File -> Add File to Library
