Taking DVD movies or tv show and putting them on iTunes

  Windows XP Pro  
Is there a way to take DVD's from my collection of movies and TV shows and add them to iTunes and/or iPod with video?
I know about the copyright laws, but I dont't think it is right that I can't make a copy of a dvd that I bought and have it on iTunes and/or iPod so I can watch it that way.
If I can buy a music cd at a store and have a copy on iTunes and/or iPod, I should be able to do the same thing with a dvd.

Hello Fash98,
It sounds like your videos in iTunes are having issues playing back on your PC. I recommend you try either of these 2 articles depending on the version of your operating system:

or

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

    You can't. The iOS SDK requires Mac OS X and an Intel Mac; Windows applications can't be put on either the iOS or Mac OS X App Stores.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Can i get my rented movies off my ipad and put them on my PC, as i do not have posession of my ipad and i wont for awhile, also can i change the password remotely for my ipad to avoid intrusions?

    can i get my rented movies off my ipad and onto my PC without my ipad in my possession? also can i change my password to access my ipad remotely to stop the intrusions?

    Where did the movies come from?
    For what you said you should be easily be able to do what you want except for:
    "remove them from the ipad but still have access to them for viewing on the road or at hotel"
    Home sharing only works wehn the devices are connected to the same network
    Understanding Home Sharing
    If they are iTunes purchases, you should be able to redownload most iTunes purchases on the road if you have an internet connection by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • How do I take all my movies from the cloud and put them on an external hard drive

    I am using an Apple TV and have bought about 145 movies.
    The internet in my area is not very fast so I need to know how to put all of my movies on an external hard drive so i don't have to stream them through the internet.
    All I would have to do is put the external hard drive on my shared devices.

    Greetings austinfromdellslow,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you would like to store your purchases movies on an external hard drive. To do this, first you will need to download your purchased content from the cloud to the iTunes library on your computer. 
    Download past purchases - Apple Support
    Once your media folder is complete with the downloaded content, you can move that iTunes media folder to your external hard drive using the information in the attached article below.

  • How can I take pictures back from a DVD created on my Mac and put them back in iPhoto?..

    I made a DVD from iPhoto and iMovie but I accidentally deleted the photos from iPhoto. The only copy I hav is a DVD. Is there a way to get the pictures from the DVD back to iPhoto?

    Hi
    As Old Toad writes. No You can not get 100% quality back.
    You can though.
    Play DVD with VLC-player
    PAUSE
    cmd+Shift+4 - click and select photo area - or -
    cmd+Shift+3 - click and make a ScreenDump
    Quality will be - size of the screen and 72dpi
    • So set screen in Max Size e.g. 1440x900 or more
    • BUT as DVD is interlaced SD-Video - no setting will be any better than this
    And that will be the best You can do - still POOR - but usually better than Nothing !
    NTSC (29.97fps) 520 lines - about 640x480 pixels (square) 720x480 rectangular (narrow) pixels
    PAL  (25 fps)   625   lines - about 768x576 pixels (square) 720x576 rectangular (narrow) pixels
    And if You creaded Your movie in iMovie'08 to 11 - only half of the line resolution is left - So I guess that
    320 x 480 or
    384 x 576
    Will be the best possible resulting photos.

  • Can I pull songs off my iPod and put them on my computer?

    My husband's iPod classic needs a new battery. The problem is that he didn't back up his songs on the computer, so the only place they exist is on his iPod. As you know, when I send his iPod in for a new battery, his songs will all be gone.
    So I was told recently that there is a way to pull songs off an iPod and put them into iTunes on a computer. Is this really possible? If so, does it involve new software or hardware? Can you give me specifics? Where is this software/hardware available? Our computer is a PC running Windows XP. I want to do this for him for his birthday. Any advice you can give me will be greatly appreciated!
    Thank you!

    For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
    Find out how to do that here.
    How to copy iTunes purchases from an iPod to a computer.
    For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
    Enable your iPod for disk use.
    See: iPod Disk Use.
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it is a little more involved than other methods.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Another free program is Pod Player.
    SharePod is also freeware.
    If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
    iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
    There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.

    Hey terremo,
    Thanks for the question. From the information you provided, it sounds like the iMac is successfully turning on, however video is not displayed. These symptoms can usually be isolated further by the troubleshooting steps in this article:

  • HT4528 when i first got my iphone thru verizon, i had 2 movies, and numerous songs that came from my cd's i owned already. or from music that i already had on my computer. however, i didn't think i would be chgd for putting them on itunes,i pd more doing

    the 2 movies on itunes i purchased, and put on itunes,for travel. i also added music that i also had to my itunes on my computer. heck, i was charged more for the movies, than i paid for them on my original purchase of them when i put them on itunes. the music on itunes was also music that i purchased the cd's, myself, and loaded onto my computer so that i would be able to carry it with me when i went on a trip..but when i got my bill, i was being charged for purchasing them again...is that how itunes works? if it is i will not be adding any more of my movies, or music on it at all. iphone or computer? by the time i got the bill it had added allmost 40+ dollars to my bill. and no i was not over my space i had for my phone, and definitely had room on my computer.  so please. if thats how it works tell me and i will not add any more to my itune acct. i was quite stunned to see what additional charges i was paying again, and even worse more than i'd paid for it all the first time when i purchased....i have sent an email upon figuring out what had  made my bill so high, just as i am now. as of today i have not gotten any response from customer support. if this is the case i will not only not use itunes on any of my devices but i will see that upon renewal of my contract. i will NOT purchase any device that you have to use iturnes on it....i have spoke to several people and they had the same thing happen to them. so do we have to pay JUST to add our own movies music etc to itunes. cause if thats the case i will go back to other phones and won't have to deal with itunes.i didn't PUCHASE any of it from itunes, and if i had i would have done it only with an itunes card just to avoid and have control of my bill, as i thought that i would..so please let me know if i have to pay again for my OWN items,i put on itunes. i had plenty of space on my computer, the cloud, dropbox etc. that wouldn't even make any sense for anyone to do it....please respond, it has taken a while to send again due to several very personal tragedies i have been a bit behind in getting this cone again but i would love to get or have someone explain WHY i am paying for music and movies that i had and thought it was a good idea to put on my computer for travellimg purposes. i hope and would appreciate an acknowledgement of this letter, and also a response...because if that's the case i won't be using itunes any more for adding movies or music to itunes, and on top of that paying for it all a second time, and it also being more than i had originally paid for them when and where i purchased them..i have been please with all my apple products till that happened, now not so sure....i have to keep up with all of my expenses for medical reasons..i hope that i get a response this time. i also have 2 other email addresses, [email protected], and [email protected],i used them to try to use them to set up my acct., but for whatever reason said they were invalid and i have had them for several years, no problem with any one else......

  • Can I move all my photo that I can see on iPhoto from my Mac hardrive and put them on an external hard drive and still be able to see them as thumbnails in iPhoto? Thanks! The reason, I need to know if I can do this is b/c I am running out of HD space!sp

    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • HT5287 If DVD Movies, Audio CD's and even burning CD and DVD's are not supported, what is the point of DVD & CD Sharing then? Wouldn't it just be better to remote in or use a thumb drive if it's only able to be used for data transfer?

    If DVD Movies, Audio CD's and even burning CD and DVD's are not supported, what is the point of DVD & CD Sharing then? Wouldn't it just be better to remote in or use a thumb drive if it's only able to be used for data transfer?
    Or am I missing the bigger picture?

    As long as you have a Superdrive or an external burner/drive, burning, watching, installing, etc. from CD or DVD will work just fine. And so will sharing.

  • I filmed several takes of the same scene for a movie. I trimmed the best clips from each take and put them into the project screen. However, I can't figure out how to make it flow seamlessly as one scene. Can someone please help me??

    If your computer is on one minute before it freezes, than you have one minute to secure your serial number.
    click the apple----->click about this Mac ------> click on version----> until you see the serial number.  You may have to do this a couple of times if it freezes before you have all the numbers.  A camera might help.
    Good Luck
