Easy Fix "Can't Import MP4 Files into iTunes"

Though iTunes announced to support MP4 video file, we often meet difficulty in adding MP4 to iTunes or in syncing MP4 files from iTunes to iPod, iPad, iPhone, Apple TV. The following article just aims to solve how to successfully import iTunes unsupported MP4 to iTunes so as to play MP4 in iTunes or sync MP4 to iPhone, iPad, iPod, Apple TV.



iTunes can handle just about any file format that works with QuickTime and will play any file purchased or downloaded from the iTunes Store. If you've got video files that end with a .mov, .m4v, or .mp4 file extension, you can import them to iTunes with ease. However, the video especially the MP4 video must meet the following specifications: it must be encoded as 540 kbit/s (minimum) MPEG-4 video (H.264) with an approximately 128 kbit/s AAC audio track or encoded as 1.5 Mbit/s (minimum) MPEG-4 video (H.264) with a minimum 128 kbit/s AAC audio track. If not, you will fail to import MP4 to iTunes.

Even if your MP4 files meet the above specifications like the encoder, bit rate, resolution, etc. and are added to iTunes successfully, it may still fail to sync to iOS devices because of incompatibility problem. For iPhones, iPads, and video-capable iPods play videos in more specific video formats and codecs. The solution to this common problem is to convert the MP4 video files to iTunes, because only a few audio/video formats are supported by iTunes. Converting your files to iTunes supported format will allow you to play your MP4 videos smoothly.

To do this conversion, an intuitive program like the Dimo Video Converter Ultimate for Mac will be of great help.

Why sometimes we can't play MP4 files on iPhone (7/7 Plus)? 

In fact, iPhone (7/7 Plus) accepts MP4 content from different source: downloaded from online video sites, streaming over the internet, synced from iTunes or transferred from computer. It has strict limitation on the input MP4 file: only compatible with H.264, MPEG-4 with the following specification:

There are strict limitations on the input MP4 format:

H.264 video Up to 4K, 30 frames per second, High Profile level 4.2 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file format;

MPEG-4 video Up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats.

If you get your MP4 videos on iPhone (7/7 Plus) from computer, you just need to make sure the MP4 content is iPhone compatible, and to 100% make sure of that. Unfortunately, MP4 is a container format which can store video, audio and subtitle data. Below are reasons why you encounter the issue "can't play MP4 on iPhone (7)".  

1. Video codec

If your MP4 files are using audio and video codec that iPhone cannot support or your MP4 files cannot meet the supported specifications of audio and video codec, your iPhone (7/7 Plus) will fail to play MP4 files. Even you download different iOS video player, they still fails to play. 

2. Video Size

Secondly, you can’t successfully or smoothly move your movies or videos in big size like 4K to iPhone (7), even the media files are in a iPhone playable MP4 format. 

3. Video resolution or frame rate

You should have MP4 files with the resolution or frame rate that are not supported by your iPhone. This happens especially for HD MP4 files, and iTunes is intelligent enough to protect your devices from destroying.
