  • How to load BBC MP4 DRM video into iTunes?

    Can BBC MP4 DRM protected files be played in iTunes? I don't seem to be able to import a downloaded BBC video into iTunes.
    Sometimes I see files called M4v or something like that which I don't understand. My downloaded file suffix is mp4.

    Place a copy of the file in <Media Folder>\Automatically Add to iTunes. If iTunes knows what to do with it then it will be added to the library. However if the DRM has been applied via BBC iPlayer then the chances are that iTunes cannot authorize or play it.

  • How to import video into iTunes?

    This may be obvious to some but for the life of me I can't find out how to do it. Perhaps someone can give me a hand. The Apple documentation is incredibly vague about this topic.
    I have some video files (in .wmv format, but I have a converter that can convert to other formats). I want to import them into iTunes so that I can play them on an iTouch. It shouldn't be rocket science but I can't find precise instructions on how to do it. I have the latest iTunes and OS 3.1.2 for the iTouch.
    Thanks for any help.

    Well with some help from a co-worker and some experimentation I finally managed to load video onto iTunes. Apparently only files of the type .mp4 and .m4v (maybe .mov also?) will work. You have to open the "Movies" panel from the "Library" tab and then drag the files over there. Try dragging any other kinds of file and iTunes will just ignore you. Is it really so hard for Apple to describe that simple procedure in Help?

  • Loading Movie into Itunes?

    Ok, so I understand that I may have to convert the movies once I have them on Itunes in order for them to play on my 80GB Classic but the problem I'm having is actually getting the movie on to Itunes. I have the movie in my computer but have no idea how to load it into Itunes...where do I go, what do I do? Please Help.

    I have video footage taken on a digital camera which I would like to put on my ipod. It's currently in 'My Pictures' section of my laptop. Would it already be in MPEG4 format or do i have to do something to convert it so I can put it on my ipod. This is footage I have taken myself so no issues with copyright.

  • Trouble loading movies into iTunes

    I recently aquired several movies as files on my computer (I assure you this is legal) However, when I try to load these movies onto iTunes, namely V for Vendetta and Advent Children, it simply refuses to do so. These movies are in the same format as several other files I have sucessfully uploaded, and there is room on it for them.
    How can I fix this

    I had the same problem and now I use iVI to import my video into iTunes. You just drag your videos onto it and it converts them and puts them into iTunes for you. It's worked great. Hope it helps.

  • How do I find bad music files?  I have thousands of files, but some are bad.  When I try to load them into iTunes, it just spins.  I need a routine to identify and remove the bad files.  Any ideas?

    Hi ajoddo20,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    You can use Home Sharing to import music and other media from one computer to another. Please use the instructions and information located in the attached article for information on how to complete the process.

    How do i have iTunes only read the songs from my hard drive, rather then copying them?

I've been through File > Add file to library, and as well as File > Add folder to library. But when I click on the movie and click Open it does nothing. I have no idea why but it's driving me crazy.

  • Cannot upload videos into itunes library!

    sorry if this is the wrong place to post or something, but i'm in desperate need of help!
    i can't seem to upload any of my own videos into itunes video library. i heard that i'm supposed to drag the file into the library but when i do that it just stays the same and nothing happens. i tried to reformat the video files to MPEG but it still doesn't work.
    Can someone please help me?
    PS. I'm using Ipod video

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Open Quicktime. Try to open the video through that. Does it open and play in Quicktime?
    Also, right click on the video file. Go to properties. What is the file type/kind?
    You will most likely need to use a 3rd Party Converter, as iTunes will only accept videos that are compatible with Quicktime.

  • How Do I Get Home Videos into iTunes?

    I have 6 home videos that I want to put into iTunes....both the iTunes library on the hard drive and the iTunes app.  I had them in there but for some reason they got mixed up and I deleted them. I have the copies so how do I get them into the iTunes library on my hard drive and into the itunes app so I can look at them.
    It is such a mess and I'm trying to make my question as simple as possible.  Here is one thing that happens...when  I tried to put the videos into iTunes they went into a folder called Home Videos.  But there is no folder on iTunes called Home Videos....it is called Movies which is where the videos were before.  There is no place for me to access a folder called Home Videos because there isn't one.  And, If I access the old Movie Folder it is empty.  The Movie folder is permanent....put there by iTunes so I can't delete it and add add one called Home Videos. 
    Can anyone straighten out this mess?  The only good news is that I still have copies of the home videos...they were not deleted.

    Drag them into the library folder.

  • Can't import QT compatibile videos into iTunes 6

    Here is what it says about importing video into iTunes 6 in the Help menu:
    You can also watch other QuickTime-compatible videos (for example, files that end in ".mov" or ".mp4") in iTunes. Drag a video into the iTunes window, as you would any song file. Videos have a display icon next to them in the library.
    I have tried everything to get a .mov and a .mp4 movie into iTunes and I can't make it happen. Anyone have any luck with this?
    Dave

    I assume these files play fine in QuickTime?
    Have you tried Add to Library from the File menu (Command O).
    If that doesn't work, try a Save As from QT. You should then be able to import the new file fine.
    I did notice that changing the extension (from .mov to .mp4 in my case) rendered the video un-importable. You don't get any feedback from iTunes either - it just doesn't work.
    Good luck!

    I tried everything I could find online..
    Can someone help?

    The videos that will not play, open them and see if they will play in Quicktime first. Also check this artical out and make sure your video is in the format iTUnes supports http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302758
