- Installed iTunes 10.6.0.40 for the first time on Win XP machine. No problem adding MP3's to my library. iTunes will not allow me to add mp4's (TV shows) even with add a file manually. They play on my PC in QuickTime so they are valid files.
- I am creating some .mp4 files which play perfectly on VLC, but when I try to import them into iTunes, the sound is fine but the picture only changes frame every five second or so. I've tried dropping the resolution to 320 by 240 but to no avail.
- I am trying to add my movies with extension .mp4 to iTunes but they won't import. How to fix this issue?
- I managed to import three MP4 files to iTunes, but I can't transfer them to my iPod. Why?
The reason of iTunes won't import MP4, no mater by dragging and dropping or by selecting Add File to Libray... from iTunes menu, is iTunes supports most of MP4 and MOV files, but not All. iTunes use the same technology as QuickTime to play media files, it has the same limitation on media file formats.
