video doesn't work on IPOD 5G 80GB

Dear Sir/Madam

I Have IPOD 5G 80GB which works perfectly with Music, but when it comes to Video Play back i experiance some issues like Standstill Black Screen (Looks Like its Going to Play the Video) and when i hit play and pause it shows the sings that it works such as showing the play or pause sign on the top of right sied of the screen but nothing plays and no sound at all, Plus when i fast forward it shows a stand still picture of the video (as it was paused) with the same behavior with the black screen!!!

Altough these video files plays perfectly on the itunes ๐Ÿ˜Ÿ๐Ÿ˜ 


I Wish you coud help me with that


Thanks in Advance ๐Ÿ™‚

Yes i Tired to Remove an Resyncing Sevral Times and it didn't work and i didn't play these specific movies before but i used real player to convert them to ipod format (as i did with other Movies before and it used to work)

i even used another converting programs such as Videora and Free YouTube to iPod Converter but still i get the same results but the movies works fine on itunes and Quick Time Player


I did the usual 5 R's of troubleshooting couple of times and it didn't work ๐Ÿ˜Ÿ

i Also did restore to Firmware1.1 and 1.2 but it didn't work either.


Thanks for Your help anyway ๐Ÿ™‚

It could be an indication or a damaged or dying hard drive. I would recommend doing a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD using the instructions given by turingtest2 in this older thread. He also covers what the resulting numbers indicate.

If necessary, post the resultings numbers and we can verify what the next steps to take.
