Importing movies into iTunes to synch with iTouch

Is there a way to import a movie (a DVD I purchased) into iTunes so I can synch it to my iTouch?
Thanx...

I'm afraid that importing of commercial DVDs can't be discussed on the forum as that involves breaking the encryption on them (which is illegal in most countries). If your discs don't have a digital copy then there's no advice that can be given. Such discussions are against the Forum's terms of use.

Import movies into itune

Hello,
how can I import movies into itune. I have tried it with many formates but i doesen´t work and it doesn´t convert.
Thanks

If they are your own private vdieos, it's fine to import them. They need to be in the right format i.e. Quickitme format or MPEG4.
If the are not you need to convert them, here is a link to a free converter, I have not tried it myself so can not vouch for its quality:

Importing movies into iTunes 11

I'm trying to import a few movies into iTunes. I used HandBrake to rip them (used AppleTV preset). Previously, I've imported them by going to Add to Library. But this time it isn't working... I also tried to drag and drop into iTunes (as per another thread). When I checked the iTunes Media folder (in home movies) all the movies are there, but they don't show up in Library. What am I doing wrong? The only thing I've done differently this time was using the Apple TV preset, previously I've used Regular Normal - could that be the issue????

I was having the same problem today with a m4v file. After a bit of searching around I found that manually putting it in iTunes' "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder did the trick. All of my earlier attempts to drag the movie into iTunes showed up as well (in the Home Movies category). I deleted the extra copies and added my own meta data.
Found on this site: http://johandry.blogspot.com/2013/01/digitalize-dvds-with-handbrake-for.html
" just copy the movie to the folder 'iTunes Media/Automatically Add to iTunes' located in the iTunes Library folder, usually in the /Users/username/Music folder but you may have it in other location even in an external hard drive. "

How to import movies into itunes

Hi All,
Here i am using Ipod touch, nw i am trying to add the movies into itunes but nothing is happening when i drag the movie into itubes and even added also.
Can anyone help me on this.

Looking on the web I found that the Graboid video content needs converting. Itunes will accept mp4 or m4v.
There are many converting apps out there. Handbrake is free and has presets for Apple TV and iphone etc
Remember it is illegal to convert videos you do not have copyright to.

Import movie into iTunes

Probably simple but i don't know how to do it.
Made a video and put it on dvd of my kid - deleted it from my mac, now I want to import it to iTunes so it can be synced to my kids iPod.
I need to be walked through the steps to do this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

First you need to get the movie on your DVD into a iPod format:
- RIP the movie file from the DVD using Handbrake (or some similar app). In Handbrake, you make sure the output file is for iPod (or whatever format you may want)
Once the movie is ripped from the DVD, you can then drag it onto the iTunes icon (or onto iTunes' window), and iTunes will import the movie.
Then, with your iPod connected, under its Movies tab (in iTunes), make sure it will sync with the iPod. Click sync an enjoy.

How do I import photos to iTunes, to synch with iPhone?

The manual for my new iPhone says I can synch photos via iTunes with the phone. But I can't figure out how to get photos into iTunes to start.

Hi cafox513,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Two applications you can sync photos from (through iTunes) are iPhoto and Aperture. This article has some more information:

Import song into iTunes after purchasing with Pepsi Stuff points

I purchased a song using my Pepsi Stuff points on amazon.com. It downloaded fine, but I can't get iTunes to import it into my library. I tried emailing Amazon and all of the solutions I received still don't work. I was trying to figure out how to contact Apple, but the email support forms all ask for my order number, which I don't have since I didn't purchase the song through iTunes. Has anyone else done this and had the same problem? Please help!

This is an issue... but I think it is an Amazon issue. I too got Pepsi downloads, the songs download fine, butI am not able to import, the auto import doesnt seem to funtion and on top of that, you cannot even play the song in Media Player. Good thing I didnt purchase the music!
If anyone can think of what I am doing wrong or how to fix it, that would be greatly appreciated!!!!

HT3775 How do I import movies into iTunes

We used Handbrake to compress out own movie so we could add it to itunes and when I try to drag and drop the movie into "Movies" on itunes it won't let me...

Try "google" for iPod video converters. I know one of the pieces of software for PC's is Videora, other than that "google" is your best bet.

My folder of playlists is showing up on my phone, but is no longer in itunes! How can I get them back into itunes to synch with my ipad? Sharing on our home network is enabled.

I'm relieved the playlists (there are 11 in the folder) are still on my phone, but I can find them nowhere in itunes. Other playlists are still there- just that one folder has disappeared. I synched my new ipad to the library, and when I did, the playlist was not one of the options in itunes.
Background: I have enabled sharing on our home network, and I haven't moved the locations of itunes files or changed anything with my computer, the settings, or my itunes login (apple id).
My goal is to restore the playlists from my iphone to the itunes library on my laptop so I can then synch the playlists to my ipad.
Thank you for your help!

Music is not included in the backup (and nor are films or tv shows), only the contents of third-party apps are included. Did you not do File > Transfer Purchases when connected to your computer's iTunes to copy your iTunes purchases over, and/or have you not got a backup copy of your music somewhere e.g. on an external drive ?

Import movies into itunes

Hello,
I have a hard drive of 2 teras full of 1080p movies.
I tried to drag and drop in itunes, "add to library", nothing is working, they don't appear in my itunes library..
I'm pretty much frustrated, this worked perfectly with my mp3 collection, most of them have been recognize in itunes match, which is allowing me to easily use them either on my iphone or ipad.
Does anyone can explain what's wrong with the movies ??..
Thanks
George

That's the problem. MKVs are not supported in iTunes.
However :-) I use VLC Media player to play MKV files and it works great. The iPhone/iPad version has also been released I believe if you wanted to get your files mobile. http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.en_GB.html
Are these full-quality MKV rips (i.e. 20Gb + per film)?
BTW, if you need to do any more converting, I wouldn't pay anybody to do it. Buy yourself an external Blu-Ray, use MakeMKV (free) to convert from Blu-Ray (full quality MKV files, but massive)
Handbrake to rip to a Full-HD iTunes compatible file (roughly down to 5-6 Gb and still perfect HD quality)
I then finish it off with an app called Subler that adds all the artwork and metadata to make it look and feel as if it had been bought from iTunes :-)

Why cant i import movies into iTunes?

please answer me im really frustrated

The only format acceptable by iTunes for iPhone or iPad are m4v and mp4.
You may play mpg in iTunes but not in the Devices. Other formats like AVI, WMV, FLV, RMVB, etc are all not playable in iTunes.
