Can't play movies in Itunes?

[RamistThomist]

I have an ipod touch and it isn't letting me upload movies (say, The Hobbit) from my hard drive into the playlist. Has anyone else had this problem?

You didn't give much detail, so some simple things.

1) Import the movie(s) into iTunes
2) With the iTouch connected, select it and movies to select copying movies to it. (There are two options here to either load all movies or to load selected movies.)

I try to import movies by dragging them from my movie folder on my desktop to the selected playlist. When I try to do that, It has that circle with a red crossbar, meaning it won't let that action.

Is the movie in an Apple Format? I believe that is what you need to do first. I had a few Reformed and Psalm singing videos I put on my Ipad when I had it. http://www.avs4you.com/guides/convert-video-MP4-format.aspx

I am not endorsing the above converter necessarily but it is one of many. I can't remember which one I used on my PC.

It's in .avi format

It probably needs to be in an mp4 format. I have done conversions with Handbrake before, but I don't know if it will do .avi.

I think it is a sign that you should give up movies and devote yourself to the study of philosophy.
