I converted home video from AVI to MP4. It can be found in iTunes on my PC, but it does not appear in the Home Videos menu of Apple TV. Why?
Apple TV (2nd generation), Windows 7
Are they in the Home Videos section within iTunes on your computer? What did you use to convert?
MP4 is just the container. Make sure the files are fully compatible
Thanks for the response. I am affraid that I am not as technically inclined as you. That said, I did convert toH.264 video using Wondershare Video Conversion software, which I have used before with no problem. Perhaps I did something differently in the conversion process, but not that I know of.
I could be wrong but I'm wondering if this has anything to do with conversion since content that can't be played should still show up on the Apple TV. Have you checked in get info (⌘+I) to see what type of 'Media Kind' is selected, you may simply just be looking in the wrong place.
Things are becoming more confusing to me. I reconverted the video into Quicktime and moved it to iTunes where it appeared as a Movie rather than home video- and I could watch it. I then converted the same original video again to MP4, and it also appeared in Movies and not Home Videos. So perhaps there was a problem with the original conversion from AVI to MP4, but why is the video going to Movies and not Home Video?
That will depend on the software and in some cases the original source material.
