I don't understand the snobbery attached to paying a few dollars for a piece of software when all of us spend thousands on equipment.
All the mentioned software is available for download and tryout, if you like you buy - simple!
For me "DVD to AppleTV Converter" runs incredibly slow on my Quad as it doesn't support multi-processing, so no good. I have no idea of the quality of it's conversions because I binned it as soon as I realised this flaw and wasn't prepared to pay for a product that failed to utilise the power of my machine.
"VisualHub" however is amazing. The quality is great, and it's fast - maxing out all four processors, so I have no problem shelling out a few quid for it.
"Mediafork" is another great utility, and has the advantage of being able to rip straight from a dvd, and the quality is great.

  • Burning DVD's into itunes?

    Can you burn DVD's into iTunes and if so how do I go about doing this?
    Thanks

    I'm assuming you mean "rip" (which generally refers to taking content off of a CD/DVD and putting it on a hard drive) not "burn" (generally taken to mean putting info from a hard drive onto a CD/DVD). If you are asking about commercial DVDs, sadly, we can't help you. Commercial DVDs are encrypted. In the U.S. breaking that encryption is illegal and we are prohibited by the terms of use of these forums from discussing software or methods. Sorry.

  • How do I get DVD movies into iTunes (and thus my iPad)?

    I have a pc with Windows XP. How do I import my DVD movies into iTunes? Do I need to buy additional software? Or is my best bet joining netflix?
    Thanks!

    you can copy them for your own use.
    Copying is not the issue. Breaking the encryption is.
    But it's kind of a catch 22 in that you cannot copy a DVD unless you break the encryption.
    in Europe it is not
    Europe is not one country.
    Most European countries have their own equivalent of the DMCA and it is illegal to break the encryption in some of these countries.

  • Ripping Music CDs into iTunes

    When ripping music CDs into iTunes, the tracks are occasionally saved into separate albums.… how do I avoid this? I want them in one album as they were on the CD so that I can play the music by clicking only one album.

    The Gracenote database sometimes has entries that list a track via a different artist, usually when there's a guest artist on the track and so whoever uploaded the track data listed the artist as something like "Joe Smith featuring Fred Mertz". For instructions on correcting this, see:

  • Is there any way to import my OWN DVD movies into iTunes and my video iPod?

    I just purchased the new 30 GB video iPod last week, and although I have already purchased a few movies from the iTunes store, I wanted to know if there was a way to import a DVD movie from my own DVD library like we can with our own music CDs?
    Thanks,

    "That's too bad, because these are movies (DVDs) that I own and have purchased legally myself. How is that different from importing your own purchased CDs into iTunes? Seems like a double standard to me."
    About "legally owning" the DVDs - Yes, I understand, and I'm figuring that most folks who want to put their DVDs onto their iPod are owning the movies legally (or, at least, it appears so).
    That's not really the issue here, though.
    The problem is, there is an encryption that is written onto regular, copyrighted DVDs (i.e., movies). In order to get that onto your iPod, you will have to use software on your computer that breaks that encryption, and makes the file into some more "normal" format, like say, MP4.
    This action can arguably be considered as illegal, in a sense, since you are removing the encryption that's on DVD, which is protecting it from being easily copied, and transferred around. (which would be illegal).
    This is a bit different than CDs, since, although they are copyrighted too, the songs are usually not in a protected format.
    If you have a song that you've purchased from the iTunes Store, and you want to break into that "protected" file format, that's the same kind of issue as the DVD ripping.
    (Notice that the Hosts included that into the ADUA as well, right along with DVD ripping.)
    ...It's quite an interesting kind of subject, isn't it?

  • How do i get My DVD's into iTunes so i can put them on my iPod?

    I have alot of DVD's and dont want to spend money buying the same movies from iTunes just to have them on my iPod. Can someone please tell me how to get my DVD's onto iTunes?

    Sorry, but that would require breaking copyright protection that is encrypted on commercial DVDs. We're not allowed to discuss those procedures here in the forum, per the Terms of Use agreement:

  • Ripping dvd's to itunes

    Is there any way I can rip dvds to itunes, so that I can put them on my ipod? Please help me.

    Not directly, no.
    You need to look for third-party applications that can convert DVD audio or video into a format that iTunes can handle.

  • Ripping DVD's ready for iPod - Help Needed!!

    Hi All
    I have been using Handbrake to rip my DVD's and for some reason it has stopped working now..
    It goes through the process of encoding the files, all the settings are correct and I have noted the saved directory (even changed it a couple of times), and when it completes 100% there is no file to be found anywhere......
    I have posted a note on the handbrake forum but got no reply yet.
    Does anybody know what the problem may be?
    Also, does anybody know of an application that will rip DVD's so that they are iPod ready, or maybe into MPG/MPEG/AVi format.
    Many thanks
    Garry

    It goes through the process of encoding the files, all the settings are correct and I have noted the saved directory (even changed it a couple of times), and when it completes 100% there is no file to be found anywhere.
    How long do you wait? Once conversion has completed, the YourFileName.temp file must be rewritten to your desitination location. This can take some seconds, depending on the size of your movie. While we're at it, is the temporary file even being created when conversion begins?
    Also, does anybody know of an application that will rip DVD's so that they are iPod ready, or maybe into MPG/MPEG/AVi format.
    Ripping/extraction of DVDs can be done by a number of Mac compatible appliations. MacTheRipper (free) is probably one the most popular at the moment. Stripping and/or conversion, however, still requires an ancillary application like MPEG2 Works 4 Advanced ($$) or MPEG StreamClip (free). However, since your were less than specific as to type (stream file, elementary streams, VCD compatible, SVCD compatible, DVD compatible, etc.) of target file desired, I can only generalize. Conversion basically depends on the workflow you utilize. Both applications have some "intrinsic" capabilities but, for the most part, rely on QT, QT Tools, and/or QT components you have installed and available. In addition, both application allow output to what is basically the QT Pro "Movie to QuickTime" export option. This simply means that in addition to the specific formats you mentioned, you also have full access to all of the same target QT formats you could normally access directly from your QT Pro application. (I.e., you can go directly from a VOB file or file segment to any available QT compatible compression format based on QT Pro and installed QT Pro components.)
    REMINDER: These alternative compression formats are not iPod compatible.
    ADDED: Forty-TwoDVD-VXPlus ($$) will convert ripped/extracted DVD directly to iPod compatible formats.

  • OK....how do I get a Apple DVD project into my iPod?

    I have a bunch of old DVD's that I have made......can I transport them to my new iPod? If so....
    How?

    You can and it works.
    go to www.versiontracker.com and run a search for MAC THE RIPPER and HANDBRAKE. Both of these apps are freeware and WORK. Rip DVD to HD using MAC THE RIPPER and then import the ripped VIDEO_TS to HANDBRAKE. Convert the file to Mpeg-4 (NOT H.264 THIS DOES NOT WORK).
    Make sure you use these settings:
    MPEG-4 video: up to 2.5 mbps, 480 x 480, 30 frames per sec., Simple Profile with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats.
    Import to itunes and download to you iPod Vid and away you go.... I have done this and it DOES work. This takes a while (under 2 hrs for entire process) but is much quicker than QTP. Encode takes about 40 mins or so.
    Remember... ripping of comercial material is an offence!

  • Importing DVD's into Itunes with Windows

    Hi I was wondering if anyone knows how to import DVDs into Itunes so that there is a way for Canadians to have movies on their ipods. I was also wondering does anyone know when Canada will get Tv Shows and Movies in the Itunes Store?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    You might want to post this question in the Windows Forum rather than the Mac Forum. If you had a Mac I would suggest Handbrake (http://handbrake.m0k.org/) = they are working on a Windows version.
    As to getting TV and Movies you're in the same boat as those of us in the UK

  • Help! I can't my dvd's into iTunes!

    I have converted my dvd's into mp4 special for an ipod but when I try to bring them into iTunes nothing happens. I have try dragging and dropping, importing, adding to library and nothing seems to work. I even restarted iTunes, restarted my computer and retried the conversion from dvd to mp4. Why won't iTunes accept my mp4 files?

    okay i know this probably wont help but theres many of us out there trying to figure this out. Is it just one dvd perhaps the same one, or is it every dvd you've tried to download.
    If its one, all I can say is its like magic, these computers. It seems as though there is like a magic encoding that nobody knows how to get rid of. You never did state which converter you have used?...I know one thing that worked for me was trying different converters, free ones worked better than the payed ones I must say! Other than different converters try put it into a side format like a lay-over on an airplane trip sounds stupid but works sumtimes. If you convert the dvd into a diff format like just mpeg and then mpeg4 it seemed to work.

  • Is ripping DVD's to an iPod Legal?

    I've used Handbrake to rip my DVD movies onto my iPod Video. I would like to know if it is legal or not. If possible, please have proof.
    Conditions:
    -I only use it for myself
    -I don't copy the movie to anyone else's iPod (even if they have the movie)
    -I am not showing it to anyone
    -I am not making a profit (a.k.a. I am not selling it)
    -I own the DVD's I am ripping

    I am sorry, let me clarify. It is illegal to copy a movie (period). This is due to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act that congress passed.
    That being said, the cops are not going to be knocking on your door for copying movies for your personal use. As long as you are not selling them / putting them online for download.
    I rip movies and put them on my iPod to watch sometimes. I believe that I bought the DVD, I should be able to watch it were I please, on my iPod or TV. The Movie Industry begs to differ, however. The movie companies think just like the computer software companies, they believe that when you purchase a DVD you are not actually buying the movie. In fact, you are just buying a license to play the movie at your home.
    You can read more about the copyright act by going here:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DigitalMillenium_CopyrightAct
    I hope this clarifies what I was talking about.
