    when i dragged the video i wanted to drag into the library, the video shows and played for 6 minutes but the video was suppose to be 3 minutes. the extra minutes showed the video but no sound was played. and when i played the video outside of itunes it played for 3 minutes. is there a way to fix it?

    hmm, the video is only 3 minutes? what type of video is it? could just be something funny about the format or w/e. if it plays fine in another player, then maybe an update to quicktime/itunes.

    Hi

    As mentioned what format video is it? but create a copy of the video file then convert it with Handbrake (free) to Quicktime format (also if to be played on an ipod or iphone could choose those formats too) then either drag and drop or in iTunes click File > Add File to Library and see how that plays.



    Latest iTunes is version 9

    I have had the same problem as have others. I also use Format Factory. A few others have had issues with some other transcoding software. (see http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10196245) I've tried playing with the transcoding settings...no luck. I've tried completely rmoving all apple stuff and re-installing....no luck. I have found 2 free vid conversion software programs not affected, videora and handbrake. Both are good but a lot slower. They can even take a vid with this error and re-encode it so it doesn't have it. Basically what it comes down to is I think iTunes 9 is ridiculously buggy. I hope they issue a patch soon. any other info would be very much welcome. I really like format factory.
