How do I copy my DVDs to my iPod Touch?

Just got an iPod Touch for Xmas but cannot seem to copy my DVDs to my iPod Touch.
Please note that I am posting from the UK & that I therefore have Region 2 DVDs.

If you are referring to commercially produced DVD movies, unfortunately, because of copyright issues discussing this subject is not permitted on Apple's forums as the Apple Discussions User Agreement now clearly states.
Under item 2, para 8.2 it says "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."

You need to import the dvd content into iTunes library first, then sync your iTunes to your iPod.

Protected DVD, and HD Videos wont copy.

How do I copy music (personal & purchased) from iPod Touch to iPhone 5c?

I have 464 songs on my iPod Touch 4th gen; however, only the 194 songs I purchased from the iTunes store show up in the iTunes Library on my Mac. Accordingly only the purchased (194) songs are being backed up to the Cloud. I recently purchased an iPhone 5c and was able to load what was in the Cloud. I would, however, like to be able to access ALL of my music (i.e., all 464 songs on my iPod Touch) on my iPhone. How do I get the 270 songs (not in the Cloud) onto my iPhone 5c?
If this can't be done within iTunes, is there freeware available for this purpose? I downloaded an application called "iExplorer" (from Macroplant) only to discover that this "free download" is not, in fact, free to use, but costs $34.95. I only want to transfer files from my iPod Touch one time; hence, $34.95 is a costly one-time fix, especially if free/less expensive options are available. Thanks, in advance, for any help others may be able to provide.

To copy non-iTunes purchases you need a third-party program. Try the free iFunBox
For iTunes purchases:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
Then sync to the other device

If it's a home DVD copy the files to the computer. If it's a commercial DVD you don't because it's illegal to do that and also against the terms of use of this site to even discuss.

I have a DVD I recorded from my tv. I am trying to make copies and when I insert the DVD I get a message saying it is blank even though it is not. My question are: Why does my computer think it's blank? And how can I copy a DVD?

How do I copy to dvd to watch on my normal tv

How do I copy to dvd to watch on my normal tv. I bought it so I assume I own it in the same way as if I bought a dvd from a store, so I would like to sit down and watch my programs and or films I buy on itunes on my normal tv set rather than in my office or on a small screen. If I am unable to do this then there seems little point in decluttering my life from DVD boxes etc to buying online content.

Just like a DVD you buy from a store you limited rights to watch the content you have purchased. For iTunes protected content you are allowed to view and copy it between your autorised devices, not transcribe it to a different format. You can transfer the file between your devices over a computer network, with a memory stick, external drive or data DVD, but copying it to standard DVD Video format is not permitted.

How do I copy a DVD to my mac, and then trim it to upload clips to YouTube? They are not copyright protected DVDs.

I am trying to take a DVD (non copyrighted) and be able to add 10 min clips of it to a YouTube Channel. How do I copy that DVD to my Mac and trim the clips I want to upload. Thank you.

Copy the DVD to your desktop, then:
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.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://store.apple.com/us/product/D2187Z/A/quicktime-mpeg-2-playback-component-f or-mac-os-x
(unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
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.
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 and Mavericks even though they have it preinstalled.) You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

HT4053 how do i copy my dvd's to my iPad

How do I copy my DVD movies to my iPad?

Sorry, but if you're referring to copy-protected video DVDs, which most commercial disks are, breaking the copy protection, which would be necessary to copy the videos from the DVD and convert them, is illegal in the US (and other countries), so we're not allowed to discuss it here. Some DVDs and Blu-Ray movies come with a "digital copy" that allows you to download a copy of the movie for use on portable devices. You might see if any of the DVDs you have come with such a feature.
If these are home movies that you or someone has burned to DVD and hence are not copy-protected, Handbrake (freeware) is one of the more popular converters. Once converted, you just drag the movie into the iTunes window on your computer and you can then sync it to your iPad.
Regards.

HT1386 How do I copy music from an old iPod? Why do you have to make things so difficult? These are my files that I paid for but once I put them on your devices, I no longer have control over them. I've wasted so much time on these stupid problems.

How do I copy music from an old iPod? Why do you have to make things so difficult? These are my files that I paid for but once I put them on your devices, I no longer have control over them. I've wasted so much time on these stupid problems. I used to be able to do this until you "improved" things.

Thanks, Deggie. I thought Apple would see my feedback. I would just like to know if there is a simple way to copy just a few music files from an old iPod. I saw instructions on how to copy all of them from the iPod but it was complicated and I really didn't want to copy all the songs. I guess I could delete all the songs but the ones I want to copy then go through that process again. Do you know how to back up music to my computer? I don't want to have to go through this again and possibly lose music.
