Importing a DVD onto iTunes

does anyone know how to import a movie that I currently own on DVD onto iTunes?

I don't have much problems with HandBrake. Some recent DVDs are giving more errors and won't be converted. Older ones can be converted to iPod size without any problem.
Once they are playable with QuickTime, they can be added to iTunes without any problem.
I guess copy protection schemes are interfering with the conversion.
I'm not knowledgeable about these techniques to give an accurate explanation.
I always try to convert a movie trailer (often present on the DVD) first.
If that's flawless, I try to convert the movie.
You might try another ripping application (search on versiontracker.com for "DVD ripper") or get help in the HandBrake forum.

  • Import home videos onto ITunes

    How can i import my home videos/ DVDs onto Itunes just as you can import your audio CDs onto Itunes?

    I had home videos that were sat in my iTunes library no problem but I couldn't get them across to my iPhone, even putting them in their own playlist, ticking all the right tabs in the synch menu etc. After a lot of playing around I found that if you right click on the video, select Get Info, go to Options and then in 'Media Kind', manually change it to Music Video and it will then happily go into the music videos playlist and will synch straight across.
    Hope this helps.

  • 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.

  • I can't import my cds onto itunes

    whenever i import my cds onto itunes.... the songs are all messed up and i'm pretty sure that my cds aren't the problem... the time for the songs are all messed up.... for example... one of the song's time would be 798:4354523948595 and i no that that's not the rite time... and whnever i click on the song to listen to it... it just doesn't play ne thing and it skips it and go on the the next song...

    I'm not sure how to fix your problem, but you may want to post in the iTunes forum that fits your issue, as you may get more help in there.

    Unless you have some (illegal) ripping software to convert it to a playable format, iTunes doesn't play DVDs.

  • Dvds onto Itunes?

    Is it possible to transfer my DVDs onto my itunes account by importing them like a CD? Is there anyway to get my DVDs onto my itunes account? Sorry for such an obvious question, but I didn't see any information about this in the manual.

    Not with commercial DVDs which contain copy protection. Most music CDs don't contain DRM.

  • Importing from DVD to iTunes 7 on Windows XP -- blue screen crash?!?

    Hi,
    I'm trying to import a DVD of music I burned from my iTunes library on my iMac to a Windows XP laptop. The first disc burned just fine, but the second one crashed with a blue screen error (though it flashed by too quickly to get the particulars). After re-booting, when I open iTunes, it continues to rip the DVD just fine. Until I insert the next DVD, when the same thing happens all over again.
    I have already authorized the windows machine with my iTunes password. The iMac is an intel core duo running OS 10.4 and the laptop is a T61 Thinkpad dual core processor (2.4gHz?) with Windows XP and 4 gigs of RAM.
    Does anyone know what is going on or what I need to do to fix it?

  • I can't import mp4 files onto itunes

    i tried several times to import my mp4 files onto itunes but failed everytime. how to overcome this?

    1) find an MP3 file on your file system (in Windows Explorer)
    2) Right click on it to get contextual menu
    3) Select Properties
    4) on the General Tab the text "opens with" appears - in your case it'll be windows Media Player
    5) Click Change
    6) Select ITunes
    7) Select Always for this type checkbox
    8) Now try double clicking on an MP3 file
    9) Does it start playing in ITunes?
    10) Check Itunes settings: Edit>Preferences>Advanced
    11) Are the checkboxes Keep Itunes folder organized and Copy to Itunes foler when adding selected? If not - read the manual to understand what those two settings do

  • Why does it take so long to import a CD onto iTunes?

    Whenever I try to import CDs onto iTunes, I literally have to let it import overnight before an album is finished. I thought it might be a hardware problem, so I got an external disk drive for my laptop. It didn't make any difference. Why does iTunes take so long, and is there any way to import/rip CDs faster?

    sorrry i dont buy that whole firewall issue. it just doesn't make sense. no disrespect. please I have an issue where I downloaded a cd. Published it and all of the songs except for the one that i had unchecked and another one all synced to Itunes. why did that one song (Al Green "For the Good Times" not be accepted yet it is on the interface of Itunes but by itself and the only way I can play it is if I click on the file on the right that says "untitled playlist". go figure. not to dog out your issue if someone could help me out with this problem it would be helpful. thanks mike.
