DVDs into iTunes

Hi, Why can't you import purchased DVD's into iTunes as you can with CD's, is it only because of Copywrite law? Obviously I realise that it is illegal to copy DVD's, and im not interested in that, but is it also illegal to import a DVD that I have purchased into iTunes so I could watch it on my iPhone for example?? I buy lots of Movies from the iTunes store, and its great that I can watch these on my iPhone as I travel alot and I dont always want to take my Macbook. But is it really illegal for me to want to be able to watch my old DVDs on my iPhone too?

" is it also illegal to import a DVD that I have purchased into iTunes so I could watch it on my iPhone for example??"
Yes, it is illegal.
"But is it really illegal for me to want to be able to watch my old DVDs on my iPhone too?"
Again, yes, it is illegal.

Sure, just use Handbrake to encode the DVD movie into a format that is playable on iTunes and on your iPad:

Once the encoding is complete, move the movie file from your desktop into iTunes and then sync your iPad. Presto, the movie is on your iPad!

You don't. And the subject is off topic. Read section 2.8.2 of the ASC terms of use before considering if you need to ask for clarification.

hi there i want to no how i put dvds into itunes so i can put them onto my iphone4 myself as i have got 1000s cheers

Since you are referring to commercial DVDs, they are all encrypted to prevent copying. In the US (and other places) it violates the law to use software to bypass encryption, so the Terms of Use here prohibit discussions on how to accomplish this. You might want to consider using a search engine instead.

Importing protected DVD into iTunes

Hello All
At the very outset - let me admit I love Shaun T's workouts and I always will legitimately pay for those than have them downloaded via other "unfit" means :-)
So the issue am seeking help on is this - I have bought the DVDs for couple of BeachBody Shaun T workouts (Insanity & Focus T 25). Now I use a MacBook pro which does not have an optical drive and every time I want to do the workout means I have to chug along the super drive, and it feels very primitive in today's time and age. Now these DVDs are protected and there is no way I can import them into iTunes and then get them onto my iDevices, so I can break a sweat even if I am in a tiny hotel room on my tiny iPhone 6 Plus screen (Yes - it is tiny when you are trying to follow those moves on a screen that size while half dead in motion!)
Is there anyway to do this i.e. import those DVDs into iTunes and then consume them like you would with any other iTunes media?
Thanks in advance for your help/suggestions
P.S: Cannot fathom why Beach Body doesn't sell their workouts on iTunes!

Depending on where you are it may be legal for you to backup your purchases. Check your local laws.

Just make sure you keep the original discs otherwise it becomes piracy.

Recording audio ONLY from a DVD into iTunes

Hi, I'm new to macs having just got an iMac G5. So far I love it and it's loads better than any windows based system I've had. I'm wondering if it is possible to record the audio only from some music DVD's I have into iTunes...can anyone help or is this simply not possible?

Audio Hijack also creates large files, size-wise. This can be a problem if you are working with putting music on audio cds. Google "ripdifferent" for a site that discusses various methods of legally backing up legally purchased media. The gray area here actually has to do with breaking encryption- under US copyright law, users have always been allowed to make a single back-up (Fair Use) of any recorded media they have purchased. It is possible that media companies are, themselves, in violation of copyright law by making it difficult to make said backups by encrypting their media. Also, copying (ripping, recording, etc.) any DVD in any way would seem to be covered by the warning at the start of all DVDs (including soundtracks), which would include Audio Hijack, for instance. This all came about when the digital revolution made it possible to create exact copies. Back in the day, copying an LP to cassette, for instance, was not considered a problem, because you would lose a generation. BTW, ripping music DVDs can be problematic, as they are mastered differently than are "movies," and some Mac ripping programs have difficulty with them. Proceed cautiously and consider legal ramifications, but also consider retaining YOUR legal rights as well.

Can I import just the audio from a DVD into itunes????

I'm a beginner to this Itunes and have been wondering this. If I can take audio files off of CDs and put them into Itunes. Can I take just audio from a DVD and put that into Itunes. Example: Can I take the audio from a live concert DVD for just one song?

Welcome, Don, to the Apple Discussions!
No, you can't do that with iTunes.
There is third-party software available that allows you to do so, though.
You might want to pay a visit to Google and enter
b dvd audio ripping
or some such terms.
Good Luck!

How do I import movies from a DVD into iTunes?

I have a movie that I'd like to load into iTunes and watch on my iPod. How do I do that?

If it is a home movie, then convert it to a compatible file type and drag into itunes.
If it is a commercial DVD ( you purchased it, like a movie or tv show), then it is illegal to break the encryption used to stop people from copying the dvd. Sorry.

How do you import music videos from a dvd into iTunes?

I have got a music cd and includs a music dvd. I want the music videos to be imported into iTunes so I can watch them on my iPod touch. How do I do this?

I had a friend who got a dual-format music album on DVD of the band Chicago for his birthday. He didn't have a system that could play the remixed 5.1 surround sound version on the DVD, but he could play it back in his Mac OS X on the DVD player in good old stereo. However, he wanted a copy he could play in his car CD player.
So I used Audio Hijack to record the output of the DVD played back as stereo through the Apple DVD player in Mac OS X. I had Audio Hijacj write the output to the hard drive as AIFF 16-bit 44.1KHz stereo. Then I used iTunes to burn it to a CD.
Of course it took 45 minutes to make a recording from a 45-minute audio program; it happened in real-time.
(This was all perfectly legal because he owns the DVD and he's using the CD recording as a backup audio copy for his own personal use--basically like ripping a CD you own for use in your iPod).
I did an a/b comparison between the original DVD and the AIFF recording I had generated, and I was pleasantly surprised by its good quality.
Since then I've been an Audio Hijack fan.

DVD into itunes

I am trying to download some DVD's into iTunes to put on my ipod and I can't get the DVD to transfer in. Any one know how?
Thanks

In the United States, no, they are not legal.
Any circumvention of the DVD encryption is a
violation of copyright according to the DMCA.
I'm not familiar with laws in other countries.
Since the DMCA is often misunderstood, I wanted to clarify this. Rippers are not illegal, only the portion that circumvents access prevention (CSS circumvention in the case of DVDs) measures is illegal. Many DVD ripping software solutions are legally sold without this piece, but they let you "bring your own".
Ripping a non-CSS protected DVD (some commercially sold DVDs don't incude CSS protection and of course consumer created DVDs) is perectly legal.

Is there a way to import movies from my DVDs into iTunes?

I have an ipod Video and I would like to import some of my favorite movies I own on DVD into my ipod to take with me on the road... Is there a way to do this? Please help...
Dell Dimension 4550 Windows XP

Sorry, but if you're referring to a commercial DVD, those are copy-protected. Breaking the copy protection is illegal in the US, so discussing ways of doing it are not allowed here (since the US courts have been holding in some cases that even discussing in print such cracking may be illegal).
