I cant watch Podcast in Itunes

[thegemmell]

Hey, idk if this is a problem with my computer or the actual Itunes software since Itunes is apple i figured this would be the best place to ask, I'm a PC user, (please don't flame me!!! because According to your commercials I should by a PC, I'm a boring accountant)

Whenever I try to watch a video podcast in Itunes the picture is all messed up the screen is white and all I can see is a faint outline of purple and red versons of the video.

They work fine on my Ipod, and I used to have the Zune software and they worked fine there

It used to be just the podcasts from the G4 network, Like X-Play and the Man show, but recently all of them do this, Like Ask a Ninja and when I go to the file and open one in Z-Player they work fine. my TV shows and Music videos don't do this

what is going on, because If i needed one more reason to jump to Zune this is it.

What format are the podcasts in that don't work? Some formats aren't supported by itunes.

Do it!! Do it!! Zune is definitely by far the better choice. Just kidding.

How are you subscribing to these podcasts? If you're subscribing to them via iTunes, it should be in the proper format and it should just work with iTunes, unless of course the folks who did the encoding goofed somewhere. But I doubt that all the content providers goofed. If you downloaded them yourself manually or with another software, it could just very well be that you have the wrong format for iTunes.

If it worked before on some shows and just stopped working on all shows, I would imagine that something might be up with your iTunes software. What version are you running? If not the latest, try upgrading and see if that resolves the problem. If not, you can always go with the Zune.

Not you Chuckles.

The OP.

He starts one of these threads every few months about the Zune and iPod, jumping back and forth.

I would agree on the aspect of not subscribing through iTunes. Have you not subscribed through iTunes?

Also, pick one or the other, or both..stop trying ( or giving a indication) to start a war between Zune and iPod.

No, Ive chosen Ipod trust me, and the Podcast videos work fine there, and idk but Z-Player means Zoom Player, not Zune Player, but yes, all of my podcasts are directly subscribed through Itunes, as in I went to the store and subscribed there. It plays audio but the video is a white screen with faint purple yellow and red outlines of the picture.

Is your ipod software up-to-date?
