Importing a DVD to iTunes

HOW DO YOU IMPORT A DVD TO YOUR 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.

Choosing a language when importing a DVD in iTunes ...

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.

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?

How to import a dvd to itunes

I have a 2.88 GB DVD (in universal disk format) that I burned from a video I shot. I'd like to bring it into (publish) iTunes so I can easily show it and so I can send it to others. When I use the menu and select "Add to library" with the video selected that is in my drive, I get a folder with Video-TS and Audio-TS. If I click "Open" nothing happens. So I'm not sure what to do.

You need to convert the Video-TS file into a MPEG-4 (mp4) file. You don't need the Audio-TS file. If you look in the Audio-TS folder you'll see that it's empty. I would use an APP like Handbrake to convert it.
Heres what I would do and make sure you have permission to do it.
Drag the Video-TS file to do the Desktop. Once downloaded, open the Video-TS file in Handbrake and convert it to MPEG-4 using the H.264 Video Codec. See the example below. You can set the resolution to fit yor needs.

Import music dvd to itunes

Hi all, new to this and can't figure out how to download my live music dvds so I can hear the music on my ipod. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You might try Audacity. It will, I believe, allow you to record the sound output of your computer. This is legal as far as I know (the so-called "analog loophole") as it doesn't involve breaking the encryption. It is a bit of a pain but it should work.

Best of luck.

Hi,
Since MacBooks aren't builded with superdrive, I don't want to always carry an external driver with me..
I have imported all my CDs in iTunes and I would do the same with DVDs. Most of recent DVD doesn't have copy protection, so there should be a way to import just like CDs.
By chance, did you find a way to to it ??

How do I add a DVD to Itunes to add to Ipod Classic?

I just got a 80gb Ipod classic as an upgrade from a 4th gen nano and am trying to upload movies onto itunes for the first time, but cant. I've tried inserting the movie with itunes on like I do cds, nothing. I've tried importing or adding folders like I would do to add multiple cds, ad still nothing happens.The dialog/choosing boxes close, but itunes doesnt do anything. Please someone tell me what I have to do to upload my movies to take on trips. Thats the whole reason I got the 80gb instead of just getting a new nano.

If you mean commercially released films or TV shows on DVD I'm afraid that can't be discussed as that involves breaking the encryption on them (you can't simply import a DVD into iTunes, they are copy protected). Such discussions are against the terms of use. "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.":

HELP! How do I import a DVD?!

Ok, maybe I'm just slow. I cannot figure out how to import a DVD into iTunes. I have read the manual, but when I tried to do it, the button it said to click on was not there. I've tried every other way possible that I can think of. In the manual it mentions that I have to convert the DVD, but it doesn't tell how or what program to use if any. Someone please help! I would really appreciate it.

You need to convert your DVD to mp4 format.
What you will need;
A PC with
1. Enough hard drive space to do the conversion
2. A DVD drive to read the DVD
3. Software to do the conversion
4. Time for the conversion process to happen (I suggest you do NOT use your PC while it is processing)
If you have #1 & 2, then you will need to get #3.
I personally use 2 pieces of software to do the conversion. AnyDVD and CloneDVD Mobile. Check them out here; http://www.slysoft.com/en/
The CloneDVD Movile allows for converting your DVD's to MANY different portable media formats. Just pick the one that you have (there are 2 different formats available for iPods, depending on what generation of iPod you own).
You can also take a look at this web site for other software (some you can find there are free) and user guides on how to use these types of software; http://www.videohelp.com/
Why should you not use your PC while doing a conversion? Because it's a labour intensive process for your PC. If you run other programs at the same time, you may affect the quality of your conversion. I use a separate PC that isn't connected to the internet and therefore doesn't require a virus scanner to be running all the time. That way nothing interferes with my conversion.
