Import DVD from Disc to iPod

I tried to import a DVD movie onto my Mac and then wanted to down load it to my iPod. If you can how do you do it.

How did you import the movie? You'll need to rip it into a format that is recognized by iTunes.
I use Handbrake ~ so far all but two of my DVDs have been successfully ripped, imported to iTunes and synced to my iPod. You can get Handbrake at the following link:

Problems Moving Ripped DVD from Itunes to Ipod

Problems Moving Ripped DVD from Itunes to Ipod
I am having a problem transfering ripped DVD's from the Itunes Video folder to the actual Ipod. I thought one of the cool points of the Video Ipod was that you could play DVD's on it. I know I needed to use special software to achieve this since I researched it here. I am using Handbrake Lite since regular Handbrake look too daunting for me. I also used Isquint, since it was recommened here. I used both without changing anything on both of those progams other than click the go button. The DVD's will play in Itunes but it won't allow me to drag them to the Ipod. They are in the Video folder in Itunes. What in the wild, wild world of sports am I do'in wrong? I assume it's something stupid because the device is stellar. Hope someone out there can lend us a hand.
Kind Regards,
Julias

I am having a similar problem, and i cant contact ipod 2 ask 4 help - its not explainedo online:

Importing songs from my existing ipod to a new itunes library

my pc had a virus and was cleared, I reinstalled itunes and my ipod library wont transfer from my ipod because i am only allowed 1 itunes account at a time. do i have to import all of my cds manually again?

Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
The transfer of content from sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod2PC Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
SharePod Windows Only
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows

Floola Mac & Windows
iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible - Windows version only)
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

Crashing when importing RAW from disc?

I'm going through the somewhat drawn-out process of exporting all of my photos to DVD and re-importing them, to merge my libraries, now that iPhoto can handle so many images.
However, I'm finding that iPhoto 6 crashes repeatably when some RAW images (.nef files from a Nikon D50) are imported from disc.
Interestingly, if I export the image to a file (still RAW) and re-import it with drag-n-drop, it's fine; it seems the problem is limited to when you're importing from an iPhoto library on disc.
Is anyone else seeing this?

Same problem, same circumstances except for the camera (D70). The only way I see to merge libraries is to drag the "Originals" folders from iPhoto created DVD to the library. But it results in loosing all the editing, keywords, comments and so on .

Making Playable DVD From Disc Image

A friend of mine has an iDVD project but his mac cannot burn dvds. So he gave me the file as a disc image. I dragged and dropped the disc image to the dvd and hit burn. It does not play as a dvd in a player or in frontrow on my mac. When I double click on it the disc image is on the dvd. Did I make a data dvd instead? How do I make a playable dvd from a disc image?
Also, is going the disc image route the easiest way to transfer an iMovie or iDVD project to another mac. I did it this way because my mac does not have some of the music or photos on it that are linked to the project file. In Garage Band you can save as archive when transferring a file to another mac and it saves all the loops, etc in the file. There must be something similar in iDVD.
Thanks in advance for any help.

So he gave me the file as a disc image. I dragged and dropped the disc image to the dvd and hit burn.
Paul,
Video DVDs are written in the UDF format. That's why you must use Apple's Disk Utility to burn a disk image to writable media correctly.
In burning from the Finder, you have created a data DVD in Mac OS Extended format that will NOT play in set-top DVD players (as you have found out).

Burning DVD from disc image

I've been burning DVD's from disc images using Encore 1.0 for some time now. ever since I upgraded to 2.0, Encore gives me error messages on my project like:
"first play not set" and
"remote control problem".
I don't see how these messages can appear when I'm using a disc image (i.e. a completed project) as the source. does anyone know?

When you click on the Build DVD button in the Disc panel, Encore does a quick check of errors
in the current project. If you have a new, empty project, you will at least get errors about First Play and Title Remote. Those errors have nothing to do with your disc image, they apply to the current project, from which you are trying to burn your disc image.
These errors may be safely ignored, since they don't have any effect on your disc image.

Import DVD from Imovie how to do

I am finding it hard to import a dvd from imovie to iweb can someone please help step by dtep instructions thank you so much

Are you saying that the Media Browser option of the Share menu is grayed out?
If so make sure you've selected the video and then try the menu. Otherwise you'll need to inquire in the iMovie community as I don't do much with iMovie.

Uploading DVD from laptop to iPod Video

I have a wonderful music video I'd like to put on my iPod, but can't seem to figure out how to do that from the cd-drive on my laptop.
If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it. Yes, I've checked the manual....can't seem to figure out what to do.
Thanks.

If it's a commercial DVD, sadly, the Terms of Use for these forums prohibit us from discussing methods of cracking the encryption which would be required in order to copy it.
If it is a non-commercial, non-encrypted DVD, you should check out your favorite download site (e.g. versiontracker.com) for video converters appropriate to your operating system.
Just one note, in your post, you mentioned that you have a CD drive in your laptop. If it's only a CD drive, you're not going to be able to do anything with a DVD. Is it, perhaps, a CD/DVD drive?

Importing playlists from itunes to ipod

Am i missing something obvious or is it not possible to import a regular playlist from itunes onto the ipod? When i tried to drag the finished playlist to the ipod it wouldn't let me. Suggestions? thanks!

Am i missing something obvious or is it not possible to import a regular playlist from itunes onto the ipod?
You don't import playlist to the iPod. If you are manually managing, you drag it to the iPod.
If you are not manually managing, you auto-sync it.
When i tried to drag the finished playlist to the ipod it wouldn't let me.
Select the iPod in iTunes.
Is *Manually manage music* and videos ticked?

Importing songs from Windows-formatted iPod to a Mac

Because everyone knows that FireWire is a **** of a lot faster than importing from CD... When I run BrokenHelix with the iPod attached, the iPod doesn't register with the computer, so I can't import that way. I have a PC, but got a Mac to take to college, and I'd like to change the formatting. Anyone have any suggestions?

If the music is still on the PC this is what you'll want to get it on to your mac http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300173
then, one that's done you can use the iPod updater (in/Applications/Utilities on your mac) to format the iPod for your mac. but the windows formatting should still work on the mac.

Importing music from CDs onto iPod

Hi there,
I have an iPod Nano 1GB. I am having a problem because I only have 28 songs on it, but it says it is almost full! The songs I purchased from iTunes are very small (3-4 MB), but the songs I tried to transfer from my CDs are much larger (25+ MB). I imported the songs using iTunes and then moved them from the library into the selected playlist that I want to sync from. I don't understand why they aren't compressed. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks for your help!!

Do you have the imported songs on your computer? You can choose to copy files to Itunes Music Folder.(You can find the folder in the preferences/advanced/general tab) If you did, then you can check the file sizes. If the size is too large, I would delete them, and I would re-import using the MP3 encoder and 128Kps(Good Quality). This setting will give you about 5MB per song. Go to edit/preferences/advanced/importing/ to change the setting.
To diagnose your current problem, I would remove the songs with the large file size from your library (you can probably just remove the checkmark in the ipod library) and update the ipod. Then, disconnect the Ipod, and check the space available. If you agree with it, then the import setting is the problem. You will need to right click and clear the files from your Ipod library as well as deleting the copy from your computer, then re-import. If the large files are not the problem, then your ipod probably isn't properly formatted. I would then run the updater to fix it and properly format it.
