Importing Movies, Music Videos, etc.

Whenever I import a DVD THAT I OWN into iTunes from another folder on my computer, it copies it. I don't want to have 93984349Gigs of movies when I just need 100GB or so. Where can I place my video files to where they are just imported, like the music for iTunes?

Figured it out. Owned movies & media needs to be saved directly to the "Movies" folder in the iTunes folder. That way you won't have doubles of every media file.

Need help with Video Categories Movies, Music Videos, ETC.

Is there anyway to put ripped videos into other categories besides just Movies? I would like to put some of them under Music Videos, is that possible?

Neither Quicktime Pro or iTunes have the ability to successfully encode a muxed video file with audio. You'll end up with video and no audio.
You'll need to use some other third-party software to do the conversion. There's a handful of software available. Just search the forums and you'll find many titles mentioned.
Videora iPod Converter seems to be popular amongst Windows users, although I've read that you might get mixed results using it.

How do I import movies, home videos etc from my Laptop to iTunes (then to iPad)?

I am trying to import some Home Videos and some DVDs onto my iPad and iPhone, I have the video on my Laptop but I am struggling to get iTunes to import it.... In the help it states to drag and drop, this did not work, import, this did not work... I am now lost for what to do?

Video needs to be in the correct format.

Do you recognize the effects that's been used, when you see movies, music videos etc immediately?

From AE and its presets for instance?

Spider scene: look at all the bad matting and mismatched black levels.
Balrog scene: bad compositing (esp. transparency where it shouldn't be), mismatched black and white levels.
I think those were the worst moments, but the whole movie had very visible compositing mistakes, plus more than a few 3D CGI mistakes (bad motion match, bad camera match, bad lighting match, bad level of detail matches, etc.).
When you work on this stuff every day, the mistakes just jump out (kind of like having perfect pitch and listening to a poorly tuned orchestra).

HT1349 what is the quickest way to move all my iTunes music, video, etc. to a new computer? any help would be appreciated. thanks. p.s. i purchased a belkin transfer cable - will that work?

You copy it from one computer to the other.
Type "move itunes library" into the google search bar.

Itunes 7 crashing in tv/movie/music video areas of store

I'm not sure if any one else has this problem with itunes 7 but; when I go to the itunes store everything is fine until I go to the following sections--movies/music videos/tv, I think you see where I'm going with this; another BUG! I get "itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." PC users knows what this means. Before it crashes I see in the main itunes store window, itunes cannot support this browser what! It's itunes 7. I have all the updates and have adjusted quicktime etc although its my belief I shouldn't have to do this in the first place if Apple would have provided a more reliable upgrade! This is my second posting ever in Apples discussion.
I was once an Apple hardware geek back in the early adoption of the powerpc daze. You know; 6500/6300 computers and powerbooks hardware and software that didn't work days. The Gil "daze"--those were bad times for Apple. Don't do it again Apple--make bad software and hardware. Keep the quality of your software and hardware intact Steve. Are you listening or reading these posts?
FYI: This only happens on my laptop not my desktop. Also, this never happened with itunes 6x. You had a good product Apple. I think you pushed this upgrade out to fast.
1. support 24bit
2. fix your browsers issues
3. provide the customer with a sane way to back out of an upgrade.
4. fix it now!
Otherwise--the new features are COOL!

Are running the current XP updates? Have you restarted your computer? Have you tried downloading music? I was successful downloading music on my desktop; itunes crashes when I access the video, tv, music video part of the store using my laptop I dont have these problems with my desktop. There are a few workarounds posted. Make sure directx is updated--check you settings for quicktime (16bit instead of 24). Unfortunately at this point there's no solid solution. You can back out of itunes 7; if your interested I'll post it on this discussion. I'm not sure that solves your problem for your new ipods. Sense you have new ipods your entitled to support. I would call them and let the discussion groups know whats up.
Good luck.

I have set up a second iTunes user account on my PC, but when I create the new iTunes account it copies the music, videos etc from the original account and they seem to be linked. What am I doing wrong?

I have set up a second iTunes user account on my PC, but when I create the new iTunes account it copies the music, videos etc from the original account and they seem to be linked, so that when I delete a song from one library it deletes from the other one.
On the online tutorials I've seen it shows that when you create a new iTunes library it should open as a blank account, but that isn't happening.
What am I doing wrong?

If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar

ipod nano 7th generation having issues with the UI. Out of box everything worked great. Once I snyc the device and it finished, the UI becomes unuesable. You have to double tap every icon in order to open music, videos, etc. I cannot swipe to the second page of icons, black box appears around an icon and then switches to a different one anytime I swipe. A box even appears around the time and battery power. iPod & iTunes are both updated. What is the FIX on this issue?

I had this problem as well. This is what I found by searching online. I tried the fix on my nano 7th gen and it worked. I hope this helps you. Make sure to use two fingers for sliding and double-click the icons to get into settings. Good luck.
It would seem that Voiceover has been enabled on your iPod Nano. The following article contains information regarding Voiceover, and how to disable it once it's been enabled.
iPod nano (6th generation and later): How to use VoiceOver
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4317
To turn off VoiceOver on iPod nano using VoiceOver gestures
From the Home Screen, swipe right or left with two fingers until you see or hear "Page 2 of 2" on iPod nano (7th generation) or "Settings" on iPod (6th generation).
If the icons have been rearranged, or if there are more than four Home screens, you may hear something different.
Slide one finger around the screen until you hear Settings.
Double-tap to open Settings.
Slide your finger up or down the screen until you see or hear General, then double- tap.
Slide your finger up or down the screen until you see or hear Accessibility, then double-tap.
Slide your finger up or down the screen until you see or hear VoiceOver, then double-tap.
Double-tap when you hear "VoiceOver switch button on."
You'll hear "VoiceOver off" to confirm the setting. Now you can use standard gestures to control iPod nano.
Note: You can also turn off VoiceOver by resetting your iPod.

How do I transfer music, videos, etc from my IPad to my IPod or vice versa?

You can copy them via your computer's iTunes - you can't connect an iPad to iPod for direct transfer, though if you iOS 5 set up on both devices and iCloud enabled you might be able to re-download some of your iTunes purchased music on the other device.

$50 worth of my movies/music videos are gone

I bought roughly $50 worth of music videos/movies on iTunes, and this happened: They were all downloading, but there was more then one of each of them, for example, it said "GI Joe" multiple times (It wasn't the special features part either) same exact thing, over and over. They downloaded (kind of) But when I clicked on the movie part, there was about 10 of the same "GI Joe" movies there, none of them would play. In the end, my computer crashed, and when I opened up iTunes again, $50 worth of movies/music videos are gone. I'm extremely upset and don't know what to do. The downloaded and processing was completed.

First, relax. Sometimes everything doesn't go perfectly.
If you bought the HD version, the SD version downloads as well so that you can watch on an ipod, if you so choose.
You can go to Store>Check for Available downloads
If this doesn't work then go to purchase History, click "Report a Problem" and report the problem. Apple will resolve within a day. You could also e-mail itunes support:

Importing itunes music videos

I would like to import my itunes purchased music videos to a folder seperate from itunes music, similar to the fashion that itunes movies are imported.

There isn't a way to set up iTunes to use more than one folder, so you can not have it set up to automatically put music in one place while putting videos into another.
However you can do it manually, but it is a bit of a pain in the arse. Basically you would have to go to your iTunes preferences, change the location of the iTunes Music folder over to your video folder. Exit out of preference. Now add your video files and iTunes will copy them into your video folder. Then go back into preferences and change the iTunes Music folder to the original location for your music.
iTunes will continue to access the videos from the other folder. The preference change only tells iTunes where to put all FUTURE added files to the library. It does not change where any of the current files are accessed from. So you can use this to switch locations before adding new stuff. But you have to remember to change it back before you add any more music and it is all manual.

Patrick

from Byron.

You can indeed burn moves and shows from the iTunes Store to a data DVD (via Finder or other software) for backup purposes, which is I believe what Byron is asking about (though I can't be sure). You just can't burn them to a video DVD to be played in a standard DVD player.
Well, I'm not sure about that. Having just re-read the terms, it appears that you may re-download content, and that you can burn songs, but this appears to not include videos (unless it is iTunes Plus content):
(iv) You shall be authorized to burn an audio playlist up to seven times.
(v) You shall not be entitled to burn video iTunes Products or ringtone iTunes Products.
(vi) iTunes Plus Products do not contain security technology that limits your usage of such products, and Usage Rules (ii) – (v) do not apply to iTunes Plus Products. You may copy, store, and burn iTunes Plus Products as reasonably necessary for personal, noncommercial use.
Reading further, then there is this:
(ix) Content Rentals
(a) Content rentals are viewable on only one device at a time. You must be connected to the iTunes Service when moving rentals, and you may do so only between your computer and other compatible devices. Content rented using your Apple TV, iPad, iPhone 4, or iPod touch (4th generation) may not be moved. If you move a rental to a compatible device and then use the iTunes Service to restore that device, or choose Settings > Reset > Erase all content and settings on that device, the rental will be permanently deleted.
(b) You have thirty (30) days after downloading a rental to begin viewing. Once you begin viewing, you have twenty-four (24) hours to finish viewing a movie, and forty-eight (48) hours to finish viewing a TV show. Stopping, pausing, or restarting a rental does not extend the available time for viewing.
Some iTunes Products, including but not limited to Content rentals, may be downloaded only once and cannot be replaced if lost for any reason. It is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage iTunes Products once downloaded, and you may wish to back them up.
Even after years of deciphering contracts and the sometimes rather complex content, I find this a bit confusing and I'd be checking with Apple to make sure I'm not doing anything I shouldn't be.

Firewire port does not always work to import movies from video camera

I've been having issues with my Mac Pro lately, it is an 06 model. Opening up iMovie and starting the import process for video from my Canon camera, the software will not recognize that the camera is connected.
In system profile I do see that the camera is connected via the fire-wire port and shows the correct name, etc.
After a bit of troubleshooting, restarting software, I unplugged the fire-wire connector that is part of the dongle coming from the 23" cinema display and the camera appeared like it should.
System profile indicated that the fire-wire connection from the 23" display was unknown. I do know that I can plug other items into the display and they work fine.
Rebooting the Mac Pro did not have any effect either.
Granted, it is working, but I wish I did not have to unplug the cinema display port each time I want to do this.

The firewire port on the Display does not have enough internal power requirements to support some devices. Try the firewire port on the back of the Mac Pro. If you are using a firewire repeater then don't connect it to the Display firewire port, use the Mac pro.
