    I don't see a "Video Kind" selection in my iTunes 8.0.1.
  • M1llerNo1 · 10 months ago
    go onto options instead of "video"... it should be about half way down :)
  • Steve · 11 months ago
    In iTunes 8 it is under the options tab and instead of "Video Kind" it is called "Media Kind".

    When I try and add a video file e.g. avi it simply doesnt appear in itunes and therefore i cannot click on the get info part of the file as i cannot get it appearing in the library in the first place. Any ideas? Thanks

    best to find an "ipod video converter". there are tons free ones on the internet and they will convert different video file types to .mp4, which is the file type you need it in

    How do you do this on the latest itunes?? I followed the steps above and it doesn't come up with the drop down menu box. please help!?? Chris

    I did that for all my videos in the movies section. after that i updated /installed the newest version of iTunes. now that video kind option is not available. what do i do?
    or how do i downgrade my iTunes then?

    To Luke, Itunes only accepts .Mp4 or .mov, not .avi you need to convert it * try Videora*

    To Chris and Freedom,
    As Someone ^ Up There Kindly Said,
    1, Right-Click Info
    2, Instead of Video, Click the Options Tab
    3, Media Kind, Select from the Drop Down List TV Show :)

    Hope That Helped

    hi all, I'm using a pc version of itunes, and my videos are loading as mp4's but appearing in the music list. Get info shows them as video, but itunes only plays them as music.
    Can't seem to get this to work for me at all....can anyone help?

    This Didn't work on my version. ( winXP, iTunes 8.0.2.20 )

    I had to find this same option under: ( yes i know this has been posted before )
    Get info>Option>Media Kind.

    I thought only Microsoft moved things around to confuse users.

    Thanx
    ive been trying for ages to do this!
    this has really helped!!

    Thank you. That works perfectly for a Mac, but it's not much different for a PC. Instead, you simply hit the "options" button when the pop-up appears & click the media type drop-down menu to change it to "TV Show". Thank you, again!
