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.

DVD movies to ITunes ?

Hi guys
I wasn't able to find this answer...so here it goes...
Is there a way to get your own DVD movies onto ITunes so that you can load those movies on your IPod?

Your own unencrypted disks from iDVD for example, can be converted with a number of legal applications such as Videora or iSquint. Protected files cannot. The fastest way on a mac is with Elgato's Turbo.264 USB device which offloads the H.264 encoding to the device and is a lot faster like 4X the speed (note ADS makes/sells one that looks identical so there may be a Windows version out there). However the above applications and device will not work with commercial DVD's at all.

Bought a movie via iTunes, tried playing it and was told that it "requires Quicktime, which this version doesn't support"

Bought a movie via iTunes, tried playing it and was told that it "requires Quicktime, which this version doesn't support". Any suggestions? Also why does iTunes sell a movie which you then cant watch!!!

Try restarting your iTunes in 32-bit mode, as per the following document:

New Home Movies from iTunes not showing up on Apple TV

I edit a lot of home movies in Final Cut. When I am done I use "Compressor" to convert the uncompressed movie files to an Apple TV format. The problem I am having now is that after I import them into iTunes they aren't showing up on either of my two Apple TVs when i use Home Sharing on my local network. I am able to play the movies in iTune and play them on my Apple TV by using AirPlay, but I would prefer not having to do this.
A few things to note:
1. Software is up to date on Apple TV
2. I have "Share my library on my local network" checked and "Share my entire library" selected under SHARING in my iTunes preferences
3. I am using Compressor 4.07. The preset option I use is " 1080 for Apple Devices (10Mbps)- Compatible with Apple TV (3rd gen.) and iPad (3rd Gen.)

Are the files in the library?
I notice that music and movie categories exist, and I can watch the movies I have converted using handbrake, and iMovie for home movies that we're added to my iTunes library....but... I want to sort this into kid movies, parent movies, and home video categories. Apple TV will be so much more useful if I don't have to use my iPad to air play my home movies. Browsing a single list of video that includes these 3 distinct functional categories is pretty lame.   Where is my apple freedom here?
I expect this fixed or more easily configured with the new Yosemite and iOS update. I hope there is an Apple TV update to make this better too.

Recently I purchased a tv show on iTunes when playing it through apple TV it constantly renders while playing

Recently I purchased a tv show on iTunes, when playing it through apple TV it constantly renders while playing on the Samsung tv which takes forever too watch.
Hope someone can advise if I am doing something wrong.
My laptop is directly under the tv however my modum is in another room so it is operating through Wifi.
Thank you

Restart all devices and the router to see if it helps. May or may not.
If you Purchased in iTunes on the laptop ensure you are playing back on AppleTV via the Computers icon not under the main TV Shows icon which will reload from the web.
I would move the laptop away from the TV in case it's causing interference to teh wifi though clearly an AppleTv might have the same issue but is designed to sit next to the TV.
If you were playing via Computers and it's still slow you could connect an ethernet cable between AppleTv and laptop, keep wifi on the laptop for internet via the router, and enable intrenet sharing over ethernet in System Preferences > Sharing so AppleTV can do an internet authorisation. Hopefully restarting iTunes/router will just do the trick though.
Do you have any non-Apple security software eg NetBarrier, if so try disabling to see if it was detecting AppleTV as an intrusion threat due to multiple connection attempts.

Merry Christmas Holly!
They must be in mp4 format. With quicktime pro, you can convert videos to the file type that itunes will recognize and that will play on the video ipod...
Or you can download this free converter...

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?

Are you allowed to import a DVD movies onto iTunes?

Are you allowed to import DVD movies (eg: Batman Begins, Spider Man,...) onto iTunes now that it has the "Videos" Source?

Thirty days from the time of rental, or 24(USA)/48 hours from the time it's first played, whichever comes first.

Loading DVD movies into iTunes 10.6.3 over OS10.6.8 stream to iPad

Hi,
I am on holidays and want to watch a DVD (No Code of Conduct, always been a Martin Sheen fan) I bought at a Yard Sale. My van is set up to port the iPad audio through the van stereo and has a mounting bracket for the iPad that makes it handy to watch while in the bed. Fortunately, I brought my MacBook along for the DVD player. I want to watch the movie on the iPad while it is playing in the MacBook. I tried to load the DVD into iTunes for Home Sharing , but no luck there.
How do I stream a DVD movie to my iPad from my MacBook?
Ken

Sorry Winston, but I can and have done it.
Not the way I wanted to but it works none the less.
First, convert the DVD to a format usable by iTunes
Second, import the converted movie to iTunes and turn on home sharing for the MacBook AND the iPad, log in both machines
Third, make sure both devices are connected to the same network. I also tried turning on web sharing on the MacBook but for some reason we sharing wouldn't run so I connected to an another available network.
Last, run Video on the iPad, select the movie and badda bing, it works.
NOTE, try this with a better movie next time. Although I like Martin Sheen, not the best choice.
Ken
PS. I'll report back when I get websharing working to see if it runs without an outside network.
PPS. Since the movie was loaded into iTunes it was easy to sync the movie into the iPad for watching without the help of the MacBook.

How do I copy a dvd movie to my iphone

You own the DVD but if a commercial DVD with copyprotection on the DVD, legally you cannot make a copy (Rip) it. Thus cannot really help you here. <edited my moderator>

How do i copy a dvd movie to my hard drive

Can anyone please tell me how to copy a home made movie from DVD to my hard drive? I'm trying to add it to Apple tv, and it's in a TS format and I can do nothing with it. I mean, when I made it, I made a beginning, which my titles are sitting on. And I want to keep the part that is the beginning, and then be able to choose which title I want to see, but I can't get anything to copy the beginning, only copies the three videos. It's very important to have this beginning, or whatever it's called while I choose a title. I was told to copy the DVD to my hard drive, but it won't copy. Now what?
Thanks,

Ah!

Why is the rented movie from iTunes not playing?

I have rented a movie from iTunes in my iPad, and it is not playing. When I press on the movie title from the iPod > purchsed section, it gives me a black/blank screen for a second or two and then takes me back to the main desk-top screen. Is there another program or step that I am missing?

Absolutely correct! Wasn't even thinking about that. LOL

HT1657 rental movie on iTunes not playing

I just rented a movie and it wont play...suggestions? I have all the updates done. I tried restarting my computer and nothing...

I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
