HT2729 Can I rip purchased dvd's to iTunes?

I would like to know if I can rip or download dvd's that I have purchased to my iTunes video library?  I know you can with music

Some purchased DVDs include a code that lets you officially download a copy of the movie for playing on a computer or mobile device. Have a look at the back of your DVD cases to see if any offer this. There is also a new UltraViolet license scheme which some but not all movie studios have signed up to.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UltraViolet_(system)
Technically it might be possible to convert DVDs to work in iTunes but in most countries this is still illegal due to various reasons, for example while in the US the fair-use doctrine might allow this, the DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) forbids the breaking of encryption schemes such like those on commercial DVDs.
It should be noted that the UK plans to make format shifting i.e. copying DVDs to another format legal. Obviously you should have the orginal legal DVD even then. Renting a DVD would not count, you need to own it.

    Moves/shows that you purchase on DVD are encrypted to stop you from copying them.  Breaking this encryption is illegal.

  • Downloading commercially purchased DVD's to iTunes

    I have some commercially purchased DVD's that I want to download in either iTunes or onto my iMac intel mid 2010. I would like to be able to download them and sync them to my Verizon iPhone 4. Any suggestions on how to do this?

    I am going to assume that you mean DVD movies you bought at a store? If that is the case, I want to say that legally you can not copy them. They have Copy Protections built into the disc that prevents you from making backups or copying them to another device. They do sell movies that have 'digital copies' available that you can use on your iPhone etc, but that is dependent on the movie. Now there are ways around it which I wont say as I do not want to violate apple's TOS, however I would google it and look for programs that can copy dvd's to iphones and itunes, etc. Be aware that you are looking at several gigabytes of information per movie.

  • Can I merge purchases from my US iTunes account and UK iTunes account?

    While living in the US i made purchases from the iTunes store but have moved to the UK. I've been forced to make purchases from the UK iTunes store. Now I have a new 5S and would like the music purchased in the US on my phone but can't figure out how to access it or move it over to the UK account. I simply want the music I purchased through Apple (in any contry) on my **** phone. I know you need a US bank account tied to a US address and I've done that (even though it's a pain to always have to type in new info when going back and forth between accounts). What am I missing here? For such a brilliant company I can't believe Apple hasn't made this an intuitive process. Way to US centric.

    Your music should be on your computer and your backup copy of your computer.  Just sync it to the iphone.
    You cannot use the U.S itunes store from the U.K, so you cannot redownload any U.S purcahses.
    Certainly you have the music on your computer or a backup copy.

  • Can't play purchased tv shows in iTunes because of Quicktime?

    When I try to play a purchased tv show (from a season inwhich i have already been able to play episodes) it states that it can not play because this version of iTunes does not support QuickTime.  I have 11.1.5 So frustrating!

    I had the same problem, but then i uninstalled quicktime 7.5.5 and then reinstalled it using a new download of just quicktime 7.5.5 for windows from apple.com. all seems to be working fine now. this was a really annoying problem, as i had just downloaded new tv shows!

  • How can I rip a dvd that has not been finalized.

    I need to recovery the video for work.  I can clearly see the content has been burned into the dvd, but since its not finalized, I cannot access any of it.  What can I do?  What software do I need?  I saw most forums suggest ISO-buster for PC users.  Is there an option for Mac users?

    restart your mac while holding down on the mouse.

  • Can I rip a DVD and import it into iTunes?

    Can you import movies into iTunes from a DVD, like you can music from a CD?

    If you are talking about commercial DVDs, we can't help you here. Commercial DVDs are encrypted. In order to copy the DVD, you'd need to break that encryption which is illegal in the U.S. (and, I think, in Canada). Because it's illegal, the terms of use of this forum prohibits discussion of software or methods.
    Sorry.

    I'd like to put some episodes of The Rockford Files onto my video iPod. I have the DVDs of the series. Is there a way to do this? If yes, I'd appreciate a simple explanation--if there is one.

    Not legally. And, because it's not legal, the Terms of Use of these forums prohibit us from discussing methods. Sorry.
