Problem Converting Video, iTunes/iPod Question

[techtony]

Ive posted this problem elsewhere and no one has been able to help me. I had a movie in an AVI format. I converted it using Videora. It imported the video, now a Mpeg-4, into iTunes. For whatever reason its showing up in iTunes under the Music tab, not the Movie tab. When I click on it in iTunes a window will pop up with the video and I can watch it in iTunes. I synced it with my iPhone as it is in iTunes, under the Music tab, and it shows up with my songs with just the audio, no video.

The Videora software I used to convert the video in the first place is made specifically for the iPhone, so I don't believe it is the video and its settings, which seemed to be the answer from most of you on this problem. I think its more with how its showing up in iTunes under Music instead of a Movie. Any info any of you could give me would be awesome. Thanks.

What suffix does Videora give to your videofile?

When I go to get info it says:

Kind: MPEG-4 Video File

Yet it still shows up under music, not movies.

but what is called? .m4v, .mp3, .mp4?
It seems that iTunes thinks it's a music file, not a videofile, so the extension could be wrongly named. It could be also that Videora only encoded the sound part of your .avi file. How big is the file? If it's only a few MB's, chances are there's no video. Try to open it with something else, like Quicktime, to ckeck it out and see if the video track is there.

THATS what it was. Thank you SOOO much. For whatever reason it just named the file. There was no .MP4 afterward. I renamed it and opened it and it went straight to the Movies tab in iTunes. Thanks again. You are much more helpful then anyone at the Apple forums.
