Video Podcast only plays audio no video

Question

Video Podcast only plays audio no video

I have downloaded/subscribed to three video podcasts but I am not able to view the video. when I sync the podcast shows up with all other podcasts, it will play the audio but no video. There are no links to them on the video screen. Also in Itunes only the audio plays.

Any help or ideas will be appreciated

IPhone, iPhone OS 3.1

Having the same problem here. I may have screwed up the podcast when I was trying to fix the stupid ipod touch playlists problem. I highlighted all the podcasts in itunes and changed the "media kind" to podcasts using "get info." New video podcasts show up correctly, but none of the old ones do.
Comparing old and new podcasts in both itunes and Windows Explorer sho no significant differences.

Similar problem, but the video plays in iTunes for me... but I never watch the podcasts on the computer (except to test to see if the video is there). I have also tried using the built in convert to iPod compatible format command.

1) You did not actually subscribe to a video podcast-but the audio version. Recheck you are subsrcibed to the correct version(in itunes under podcast near the title of the podcast episode is there an icon of a monitor?)

2) Delete the entire podcast list-resubscribe and download latest episode.

I am having the same problem. I purchased the first episode of LOST from iTunes then downloaded to PC and sync'd to iPod. I have both the HD and SD formats. I can hear the Podcast just fine on my iPod, but there is no video. I was able to download and watch a movie last weekend, so I know the video portion of the iPod is in working order.

This is under "TV Shows", not under PodCasts, so I didn't subscribe, I just choose to purchase an episode to try it out. Also - I have checked and have the latest version of the software.
