Video Doesn’t Show Up On iPod Touch or iPhone 3G

I had an MPG video that I made with my camera. I wanted to play it on my iPod Touch. So I imported it into iTunes, converted it, then tried to sync it. The video made it over to my iPod Touch, but it’s not there. It has somehow disappeared and I cannot play it on the device.

Apparently if certain fields are not filled in in the video Info screen, the video will not appear on the iPod Touch or iPhone 3G. If you have this problem, try the following:

1. In iTunes, right-click/Ctrl-click the Video and select Get Info.

2. Click the Video tab.

3. Fill in every field on that screen with at least some information. Don’t leave anything blank.

4. Resync your video file and then try to view the video on the device.
