HT1347 How do I import a home movie on my computer to iTunes?

I am trying to import a home made movie on my computer desktop into iTunes.  Any suggestions? Thanks....

You need burn software to do so. Do you have iLife 09 or 11 installed? If so, you have iDVD which is perfect. What app did you use to edit/put together the movie?
If you don't have iDVD, then take a look at Roxio Toast ($$) or Burn (free) or google for other apps.
FWIW, I've never parked a home made movie in iTunes, so I have no idea if there is anything you can do with it there. My guess is you need to get it into the burn software. And, if you still have an older version of iMovie, it may still have a burn option within.

  • HT1347 how do I import a playlist from my iPad to my itunes library on my computer please

    Hi can someone please tell me how I can import a playlist from my iPad to my iTunes library on my computer please?

    Itunes will only accept mp4 or m4v files. If the file is not this format either rerip it and convert to m4v or mp4 depending on your conversion software. You will also need to tag it explicitly as a movie so it ends up in the right place.
    Personally I use Subler for that as it enables me to set The HD setting that shows up in itunes

  • How can i import my home movies i had put on DVD?

    Does anyone know how to import a dvd of home movies into imovie?

    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.

    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.

  • How can I import my home movies (.dv) into iTunes?

    I'm getting frustrated with the lack of information about converting movies with all the recent upgrades. I have many short home movies in a variety of formats (.dv, .mov. Mp4, etc) - how in the world can I get them into iTunes (and ultimately on my iPad) so I can share them? It looks like Quicktime Pro is no more and Quicktime 10 is grayed out under all the share options? I'm at a loss - do I need to go back to the original iMovie files and save as something else??? Thanks much!
    Everything I have is the most recent, most up-to-date version you can have. Quicktime, iTunes, OS, iOS, etc - it's ALL the most recent version. Running a iMac G5 and iPad2.

    If you are running Lion:
    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. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

  • How do I save a home movie to MacBook Air

    How do I save a home movie from DVD to my MacBook Air. I have just downloaded the latest IOS 8.1 but have not installed ant apps for movies. I do have a couple of videos already saved.

    Hi ..
    iOS 8.1 is the operating system for iPhones and iPads, not OS X for your Mac. Apps that run on iOS devices cannot run on our Mac and vice versa.
    Since the MB Air does not have a DVD drive, in order to import the movie from the disc, you will need an external drive.

  • How do I get my home movies and avi files to play on my ipad 3?

    How do I get my home movies and avi files to play on my ipad 3?

    1) Download a third party player on the iPad, such as avplayerhd or cinexplayer. Search app store for AVI and read some reviews.
    2) Convert the files in a program such as handbrake, mpegstreamclip on the pc and import them.
    3) Download air video from the app store, install the server software on the pc and stream away.
    Take your pick.

  • How do I transfer a home movie to videos on my ipad?

    There's obviously a simple answer to my problem, but I can't seem to find it. I made a home movie on my mac. I shared it with iTunes. I then looked for it in videos on my ipad. No sign of it. I found it among the photos and videos in the camera section. How to I get this home movie into my videos. Homesharing is on, but clearly hasn't solved the problem. Do I have to sync my ipad with itunes on my mac? Seems a bit complicated for such a simple task. After all, I can email it to my family without a problem. Anyone tell me what I'm missing?

    Have you tried clicking the share icon when it is selected (the box with and arrow at the top) to see if you get an option to "open in..." and then select videos app.
    I have not done this so not sure it will work but an idea to try.

  • How can I import an m4v movie from my desktop to my event Library in iMovie?

    How can I import an m4v movie from my desktop to my event Library in iMovie?  I want to include the m4v movie into another project in iMovie.

    When you import DV Stream from tape, iMovie 11 will assume that you are importing raw footage from a camera, rather than a finished movie. It will create a new clip everytime it detects a scene break (the record start/stop button was pressed). These clips will be placed in chronolgical order - not the order they were on the tape.
    One way around this is to import the tape into the application that you used to create it. For example, if you used iMovie 6, import the tape back into imovie 6. In iMovie 6, you can export the tape back out using FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME. Choose the DV codec in an MOV container.  You can then import this MOV file into iMovie 11 and have everything in the proper order for your finished movie.
    Another option is to use FInal Cut Pro X.

    That's a proprietary interface.
    Odds are there is no adapter. Ask Sony.

  • How do I import a quicktime movie?

    Hi,
    I think this is a super simple question, How do I import a
    quicktime movie onto my page? I presume you go to
    insert>media>? not to sure what comes next though? Is it
    shockwave,applet,active x or plugin?
    Thanks,
    Beth H

    There's not a default insert behavior for this built into
    Dreamweaver, but a
    quick search on the Exchange show that there is an extension
    for this,
    although I've not used it. Do a search for "quicktime" here:
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?view=sn120#loc=en_us&view=sn105&viewName=E xchange%20Search
    Make sure you set the program dropdown to Dreamweaver to
    minimize the number
    of hits. Should be the second one on the list: "Insert a
    QuickTime Movie,
    V1.0.1".
    Hope this works for you. There is some additional information
    about the
    extension on the detail page that you might want to look at
    to ensure
    everything works properly.
    Best regards,
    Chris

  • How do I burn my home movies to a DVD?

    I have a MacBook Pro which I purchased in June of 2012. I would like to put my home moives onto a DVD to mail to my relatives. (I don't want ot put them on You Tube.) How can I burn my home movies onto a DVD? I guess you could do this with iDVD in iMovie 11, but the MacBook Pro that I have does not have this feature under Share. What do I do?

    Personally, I use iMovie to edit my home movies, then I use Burn to burn it to a disk. Burn will automatically set the necessary files and everything for you too! Just drag and drop, and click burn.

  • I rented a movie on my iPad but cannot move it to my computer to watch on tv via Apple tv. How do I transfer the rented movie to my computer?

    I rented a movie on my iPad but cannot move it to my computer to watch on tv via Apple tv. How do I transfer the rented movie to my computer?

    I just rented a movie from my iPad2 and tried to play it through my ATV2 with AirPlay and same problem.... This is absurd guys. Apple I know there are copyright hoops to jump through but come on!! The whole pitch behind AirPlay and AppleTV was to make it easy to watch my purchases on my TV no matter what device they were on. Now I've got to hold my iPad in front of my face to watch a movie for nearly 3 hours!! And when I go to the support site I have no option other than to send an email to billing, screw this. I've not bought a DVD since I purchased my ATV2 over a year ago but if you guys are gonna pull this crap then what incentive do I have to continue the use of something that may or may not work the way it was advertised.
    By the way, this is the first time I've had this problem because I normally rent straight off the ATV or my computer, which by the way I was considering replacing my PC with an iPad but looks like you guys aren't ready for me to make that kind of a switch.
    Don't tell us that a product will do XY and Z then put limits on Y sending to Z.
    FIX THIS!!!
