Importing itunes movie

Can you import a movie from itunes into imovie to edit and cut-it up. I know you can with a dvd with the elgato. But if you purchases movies off of itunes can you do it?

No.
Not allowed by the ToU you signed with iTS and technically prohibited by DRM inside these purchased movies.

  • Import iTunes movie into iMovie or Motion

    I am a teacher and I wanted to show the movie Hocus Pocus to the kids at my elemtary school. But the school doesn't allow movies with ANY language. I would like to be able to import this movie into iMovie '11 or Motion 5 and block out the cuss words. This is a protected MPEG 4 video, so, none of these programs will let me do this! Any suggestions? (Please don't recomend any video convertors unless they're free, don't have a time limit, and will work with protected MPEG's) THANKS!

    You cannot edit the movies and you cannot legally remove the DRM.
    You can't show movies in school unless it is part of the curriculum (the movie actually pertains to the studies). Simply for entertainment is not permissible (without copright owners permission).

  • I'm using Windows 8.  I have 2 folders in my videos library - movies and personal videos.  When I try to import a movie into iTunes, it puts it in the Home Video section and if I import a personal video, it puts it into the home video section.  what up?

    Im using Win8.  I originally had all my ripped movies in a movie folder listed in the videos library.  This imported into iTunes movies with no issue.  I later added a second folder t my library - personal videos where i put all my home videos.  I was able to import this into iTunes and it showed up in "Home Movies" - very cool and exactly what I wanted.  Now, if I add a new ripped movie and put it in my movie librairy and try to import it into iTunes, it places it in Home Movies.  And if I put a new personal video, it will also import into iTunes under 'Home Video?.  What is going on here??  Any help would be greatly appreciated - it seems like this is a bug in iTunes 11.

    I thank you for the response.  Apple does some assinine things sometimes and this is one of them.  Ask the planet the difference between a movie and a home video and with the exception of Apple, you'd get 100% consenus on the what difference is.  A home video is something that I shoot, like my kids birthday party.  A movie is something I urchased either via download or a DVD that I ripped.  Unbelievable!   The fact that Apple has chosen not to distinguish based upon which folder I tell it is Movies and which folder is Home Videos is really hard to fathom - sounds like something Windows would do. I find it funny that in my iTunes movies sub-section of the movies section, the movie icons have a cloud icon in upper right corner to distinguish it as bought from Apple iTunes versus no cloud icon for movies that I have ripped - so the distintion was already made and clearly visible.  Now - everything just defaults to "home videos" if I try to import a new ripped DVD - why even bother to have this distinction on the iTunes bar?  WOW!
    As for your direction, I do not understand what you are telling me - what Media Kind and what Options tab are you referring to?  I see no Options tab in iTunes.  Right licking on the movie icon does not yield media kind or options as well.  Gping to the source file does not yield these options either.
    Thanks again for your help.

  • How do i import my movie and dvds from my computer onto itunes. it not importing

    How do i import my movie files from my computer onto itunes? its not importing when i go to file and import files.

    If you backed the library up by drag-copying it, drag-copy it to the same location on the new computer. If you backed up an entire iTunes library, you can also drag it to any location, launch iTunes with the Shift key held down, and specify it.
    If you used a backup product, check that product’s documentation.
    The song files must be located on the computer’s internal drive for them to play without the external one connected. If needed, organize the library in iTunes.

  • Lately, when I play a song from a newly imported cd, itunes moves the song to another location. The song is still in the main list but it is no longer with the rest of the album. Any ideas?

    Lately, when I play a song from a newly imported cd, itunes moves the song to a different location in the library. The song is no longer grouped with the rest of the album. Any ideas?

    Hi, llmrfan.
    I have experienced this as well.  Usually it is something simple in the metadata that iTunes recognizes as different.  Try selecting all the songs at once in that album and get info on multiple tracks.  At that point you can mark them as part of a compilation.  The article below walks you through this process.
    Why aren't songs with the same album art grouped together?

  • Import Quicktime Movies to iTunes - Lion

    I just downloaded some tutorials which are in Quicktime format.  I want to load them onto my iPad and iPhone to watch while I am on the go.  Historically I have had no trouble importing Quicktime files into iTunes through either File>Import or the drag and drop method. 
    I have tried to add my recently downloaded files to iTunes using both methods and nothing happens. 
    I am running Lion 10.7.1 and iTunes 10.4.1.
    Any ideas on how to fix this?

    Hi,
    I have more or less the same issue. I'm running the 10.4.1 iTunes version on my Mid-2010 17" MBP with Lion installed. So all this stuff is pretty up to date.
    Before installing Lion on this machine, I imported a lot of .mov videos/movies into the previous version of iTunes without any problem.
    Now I want to import into iTunes some .avi movies from my collection. Those .avi movies have subtitles, but the conversion to .mov is easy through QuickTime 7. (You just have to have your .avi and .srt files into the same folder and with the same name, you chose to "Save as", and the job is done within seconds. You get a "muxed" .mov file with integrated subtitles. Cool.)
    The problems begin when I want to import that movie into the iTunes Library, 'cause it's absolutely now way to succeed. Opening the new .mov file through iTunes doesn't work. Same result wishing to go through the "Add to Library" command in iTunes, simply trying to drag-n-drop it into the main iTunes window or even dropping the movie's folder into the Library under the path "users/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Movies".
    The nasty thing is that this move looks working fine when the movie is converted through the iSkysoft Video Coverter, but there are some problems: the present version of this app doesn't accept subtitles and the conversion takes far more time then the one through QT7.
    But the nastiest thing is that I tried to add the same movie to a 10.1 iTunes version Library, on someone else's Late-2008 15" MBP running Snow Leopard and it just worked perfectly fine !
    So, could anyone explain me what's wrong here: the OS ? the iTunes version ?
    Thanks so much for any help.

  • I have an older Sony digital camcorder, and I am having trouble importing the movie files. Sometimes I get the audio in iTunes without the picture. I have a Pinnacle Dazzle interface. What am I doing wrong. Is there a way to skip the dazzle device?

    I have an older Sony digital camcorder, and I am having trouble importing the movie files. Sometimes I get the audio in iTunes without the picture. I have a Pinnacle Dazzle interface. What am I doing wrong. Is there a way to skip the dazzle device?

    Chances are the pinnacle is producing .avi files or MPEFG1/2 streams - iTunes may know how to decode the audio but not the video. Download Handbrake and try running the Pinnacle files through it and adding to iTunes - use Universal format unless you have a specific device in mind.
    Keep copies of the originals.
    Another option might be to try to install Perian.  Can't remember if the Apple MPEG2 plugin allows MPEG2 to be played in iTunes.

  • Importing AVI movies to Itunes ver 6

    How do i import avi movies from my hard drive into Itunes 6.I have tried dragging and dropping into the movies folder but to no avail.do i have to convert them to another format and what programme would I need to do this?

    .avi is not one of the few formats that iTunes supports. Use Google, there should be a bunch of programs that convert from .avi to mp4 or other iTunes/iPod compatible formats.

  • Importing home movies into itunes

  • Why can't I import a movie I bought from itunes into my presentation

    Why can't I import a movie I bought from itunes into my presentation?

    msjones,
    Most, if not all material sold on itunes is copyrighted and there are anti-piracy provisions embedded in the code. You may not have the rights to copy the movie to another medium such as Keynote. Your purchase of the movie and what you can do with it are limited.

  • Unable to import mp4 movies to iTunes 9.2 ver

    Hi I'm have some trouble importing mp4 movies I've rip with handbrake into iTunes. I have no problem importing music files such as mp3, but it just would not import movies.
    I've tried add file to library, drag and drop into iTunes, nothing works and the confusing part is that there are no error messages!

    I am able to import a .ts file into Premiere Elements 10, 11, and 12 Windows 7 64 bit.
    But, not so, for Premiere Elements 4, 7, 8, and 9.
    And, the reason why your .mp4 conversion did not work would be in accord with the fact that you used AVCHD as the video compression, and AVCHD video compression was not supported by Premiere Elements until version 7.
    If you do decide to move to version 12, please note that there is a dramatic difference in workspace between 3 and 12. So, go the free tryout of 12 before any purchase.
    You could try to convert the .ts to H.264.mp4 and not AVCHD (MPEG4 AVC/H.264).mp4 and see if that works for you.

  • HT1529 i want to watch my dvds on the television by playing them on my mac computer and using apple tv.  hpw do i window share, or how do i import the movie to my iTunes?

    I just got an apple tv and need helpin learning how to do the window sharing from my computer to the television.  mirroring i think it is called.  Additionally, how do i get dvds that i own into the itunes movie location so they will be 'selectable' on the tv?  thanks for your feedback.

    Ripping DVD's is not something that can be discussed here due to the legal rammifications.
    If the Mac support AirPlay mirroring, simply play the DVD on the Mac and then use AirPlay to mirror the content to the ATV.
    Honestly, a DVD player connected to the tv would be a simpler solution.

  • Can I watch an iTunes movie rental on a TV connected via mini displayport?

    I'm not sure if there's been any headway with this, but I've got a mini displayport to HDMI adaptor on the way that I'm going to use to connect my MacBook Pro to my HDTV, effectively using the TV as an external monitor.
    And of course, I want to watch some iTunes movie rentals on the TV instead of my laptop, but digging around the internet has shown that I might be facing an issue relating to the HDCP standard that would prevent me from being able to use my TV in this manner.
    Is this still an issue? I have a fall 2009 MacBook Pro, which may be important, as I've read that Apple modified the mini displayport on the MacBooks in 2010.
    Other than renting a movie as a sort of guinea pig with the possibility of being shot down and wasting my money, is there any way to know if this is going to work? Or is it simply a fact that any monitor/TV connected to my MacBook through the mini displayport is incompatible with HDCP, and I'm totally out of luck?
    (Which, FYI Apple, is utter horse **** and is absolutely counter-productive to the notion of encouraging me to pay for digital entertainment.)
    What are your thoughts, folks?

    If your HDTV is HDCP compliant, you probably will have no problems. But you might want to read this information which while written a while back still, to the best of my knowledge, applies:
    http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/16488
    HDCP compliance is, from what I've read, rather a "rubber ruler" so even if your TV lists as being HDCP, it might or might not work correctly with your Mac. Testing with one movie first might avoid an expensive surprise.
    As to your complaint to Apple, it probably wasn't up to Apple but instead was forced on them as part of the conditions by the content owners for licensing movies and shows to the iTunes Store. But feel free to comment to Apple via their feedback pages:

  • Can't import iphoto movies into imovie 08

    The first time I launched iMovie 08 it imported the movies I made with my still camera from iPhoto. Some time later iMovie asked me to import some new movies from iPhoto I added. I did not want to wait for this process so I canceled. I thought it would be easy to import them later. Now I am trying to do this but it is just not working.
    I would prefer to have these movies in the iPhoto-Videos event. But it seems to be impossible.
    So I try to import them as normal movies. I can chose them and import them but they do not appear in the selected event.
    Does someone have ideas?

    Now I got it:
    I converted them with "MPEG Streamclip" software and then imported to iMovie without any problems.
    The movies from iTunes iMovie can handle came from my Nokia N93 cell phone and not from my digital still camera.
