As mentioned, iTunes does not convert the software. But I am a barely intermediate user and found some great information out on the web. I now have 3 of my DVD's on my iPod. I feel skeptical about offering too much help on this forum as I do not think we are supposed to, but I will say Videora is great for putting the files into a smaller, usable format for iPods. You will need software to put the DVD on your computer first though. I use DVD decryptyer. Get both of those programs and then go into the "how to convert" section or something like that and it gives pictured details of how to decode and convert. Using dvd decrypter and videora.
Remember, if its not your DVD its illegal. You must own it.

I need help importing dvds

i am using dvd decryptor to import dvds onto my computer. right now i am trying to import a season of seinfeld. when i import it i only get one episode. i want all of the episodes on the disc to go onto my computer. please tell me how to put all the episodes on the disc on the computer.
Thanks

No, there are no instructions by Apple for how to get the library off your iPod and onto the computer.
You can select the iPod in iTunes then iTunes menu File -> Transfer purcahses. This will copy only iTuns purchssed items in to iTunes.
It will not transfer other items on your iPod, playlists, ratings, etc.

Sony HDR-XR520, cant import into FCE 4.1 on my iMac

Can anyone help? I have just bought this new AVCHD camera and when I open FCE log and transfer wont work. Doesnt recognise the camera at all. I have also copied over the folder of the camera but the files appear dimmed out and cant import that way either.

Hi Tom, I am using the 1920x1080 (60i) codec setting. I have had a play around with the others but same result. Have tried the add folder, top level but wont import, it just keeps going through the levels and at the end they are dim.
This model has not been out long and has built in GPS. I wonder if FCE is incompatible at this stage? Shouldn't be but have run out of ideas!

Cant import my photos on pc

hi I'm having trouble syncing my iPhone 4 to PC running windows 7. Since updating to the latest version of iTunes and updating to ios5 I cant import my photos when I plug in my iPhone it says in iTunes that it is syncing and it goes through the 8 steps showed in the status bar in iTunes including the importing photos stage. but my photos are still not appearing on my computer. before the update when I plugged in the phone windows popped up a window importing photos and would do it automatically . I would appreciate any help as this is driving me up the wall!!!! again thanks in advance

I would caution against "always do" and leave it uncheced. Otherwise when you connect iPod etc device it may not - did not for me - show up in iTunes anymore. That is more of a warning.
I would though consider backup, uncheck all the content you do sync, and resetting. And then sych media content back - one at a time, until you have it the way you need to.
Maybe even remove aside the iTunes backup data and do a fresh backup iPod to iTunes first.

I am using lightroom 4 and i cant import my photos because their paths contains blackslashes (499)

i am using lightroom 4 and i cant import my photos because their paths contains blackslashes (499)
can yotell me what is this and why its doing this and how i can fix it

Does the path contain a backslash. If so, change it. It would help to show the path you are trying to import from. You could try changing the file handling setting in Preferences to the second setting where backslash is considered illegal and is replaced. Its probably better to just not use these characters anyway.

Importing DVDs

What program can be used to import a commercial dvd into my computer library? I have no problems with importing commercial cds. If it can't be done or if it is illegal I understand.

There's no law against importing DVDs or viewing them. In fact, there's a treaty called the International Copyright Treaty that the US is part of that affirms your right to buy works in one country and use/view them in another.
HOWEVER, there's a problem. When the DVD spec was created, the motion picture industry asked that they include something called "region codes" in the spec that identify where the disk came from, and that the DVD-CCA, which licenses the technology and hands out keys, required licensees to restrict players to playing only a certain region. So, players at that time were sold "region-locked", meaning they could play only DVDs from a particular region. The idea was that this would permit media companies to segment markets so they could institute price-controls and maximize profits and control releases.
In practice, region-coding was identified as a violation of fair-use rights of consumers or an anti-competitive practice in many places outside the USA. So, two things happened: outside the US many players started to get sold "region free" meaning they disregard region codes, and pirates seized on the problem and started making region-free copies of movies that were not available in certain regions. It's in-part because the region-coding system was such a failure that the industry more or less shrugged when in 1996 we entered a WIPO agreement that basically stated that the government couldn't have any part in defending the approach (i.e., we can't make it illegal to circumvent the region code).
However, just because consumers don't want them doesn't mean they have ceased to exist. The US doesn't forbid the practice, and many companies that sell to the US still distribute region-locked players for contractual reasons.
I'm not really sure why Apple still ships their products with region-locked models unless they have some sort of contractual obligation to uphold. Clearly they get lots of complaints.
The Apple superdrives will permit you to set the region code 5 times, after which the hardware is irreversibly locked to that region. You can simply get and external region-free firewire unit.
Hopefully newer models of Macs will have region-free drives. Macs, after all, are marketed a media machines and it's frustrating to those of us that travel or have family in multiple regions that we need to purchase multiple drives simply to access media that we legally have rights to view.
Incidentally, the other poster mentioned MacTheRipper. Ripping DVDs with it (even possessing the program) is indeed a felony in the US, not that you're likely to get caught. However, it won't help getting around the region code problem since newer Mac drives deny low-level access to the disk data if a region-code mismatch is detected.

Why i cant import vedios to i movie

why i cant import vedios to i movie

No one here can help you because you supplied no information whatsoever. Which model Mac are you using? Which os are you using? Which version of iMovie do you have? What type of videos are you trying to import?
Any issues you are having in iMovie should be posted in its forum area.
Last but not least; Please describe in detail all you have attempted to do in order to resolve the issue.

I cant import any file

I habe to Windows on my PC, 7 and 8, I dont have Problems with my win7 but in Win8 I cant import any file in my iTunes. Please help me

We know nothing about your system nor do we know anything about the files. It stands top reason that they are in a format AE simply doesn't understand. And well, special characters like question marks have no place in user folders and can cause all sorts of trouble. Rename your folders appropriately.

Importing DVD to FCP questions

I did a search on importing DVD content into FCP. I have read a lot of the articles but I still have questions.
I have about 8 DVD's that I have to pull clips from. There are about 18 clips. I know it is possible to just decode those clips. I am going to be editing this in FCP so here are my questions.
Which software is easier as far as setting in and out marks for the decoding of the DVD (mpegstreamclip or Handbrake)? I know I have to Encode the DVD to MPEG-4. Is this the default in mpegstreamclip or Handbreak? I also read that you have to demux the file before you import it into FCP. Is this an option in mpegstreamclip or handbreak?
One last thing, I know that a DVD is MPEG2 and I have to convert it to MPEG 4 but is it better to transfer the DVD to DVCAM and then capture the tape or use the software to rip the files. As far as quality, I would assume it is the same thing but I would like to hear it from the Gurus.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
thanks

Given the fact that both are free or very inexpensive downloads, give them both a try.
MPEG Streamclip extracts are variety of QT formats. And you do not have to encode the DVD to Mpeg4, instead mpeg2.
Not certain why you are calling something a fault of the program.
You might want to explain, and remember these programs do not work with encrypted DVDs.

How do I import DVD to IMovie? What is the best way to import DVD to a Mac?

Hi everyone!
I need some help, so here are my questions.
How do I import DVD to IMovie? What is the best way to import DVDs to a Mac?
I would like to keep the original quality from the DVD.
Thx.

You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
which is a mere $20.
Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
which costs $25.
For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.

I'm trying to import photos from my iphoto library, but keep getting a message saying I cant import from 7.1.5, that I need to upgrade to 7.1.5 or later. But I have version 8.1.2. I don't know what to do. I've been able to import in the past.

Sounds like an issue with the iPhoto Library
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

And from the TOU of these forums:
Keep within the Law
No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
If you are running Lion or later:
From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion onwards, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it. See this:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3381
To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. (The same applies to Mountain Lion even though that has it preinstalled.) You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

OS is Mountain Lion, upgraded no problems, used an external Hard drive for my time machine, now my iPhoto will not show any of my photo's or ay new ones I import! Help please!!

Do you get this window when you hold down the Command+Option keys and launch iPhoto?
If not then you're not holding down both keys long enough.
