Importing Videos & Movies to IPOD

Can I import DVDs that I own into my itunes library? Or do I have to purchase them from itunes store.
I thought I would be able to import the ones I already own. Any help?

If you are referring to commercially produced DVD movies, unfortunately, because of copyright issues discussing this subject is not permitted on Apple's forums as the Apple Discussions User Agreement now clearly states.
Under item 2, para 8.2 it says "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."

  • Can't import video (.mov) from Coolpix P100 camera to iPhoto

    I can't import any .mov files from my Coolpix p100 camera to iPhoto (iPhoto '08, version 7.1.5) Mac OS X 10.4.11. I can import pictures no problem when I use a firewire connection from the camera to my iBook G4. This is the message I get:
    Unreadable files.
    The following file could not be imported. (The import failed)
    DSCN0573.MOV
    For example, I can see the .mov file under "Information" before I try to import. It says it is a QuickTime movie, 274 MB. I can watch it on my camera.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

    Is there a chance the .mov file could be imported via some
    third party (free ware) video software into the Mac, such as
    VLC or a shareware video utility; perhaps Snapz ProX?
    Another idea may be to see if the iMovie software would do it.
    This topic has come up several years ago, and depending on
    the model or brand of camera in some cases, different paths
    were taken to get the product and files to work.
    In a few cases, some proprietary software provided limited
    support for a camera's feature set; some didn't work for Mac.
    When the camera creates a hybrid image file, and their own
    software was not available in a Mac format, another may be
    available to provide the missing link.
    There may be some third-party plug-ins that may allow the
    QuickTime you have, to open and view the .mov files; not
    sure what exact ones would qualify, however, to do it.
    With my cameras, which can create .mov files, I have not
    experimented with them; as both are essentially still image
    cameras and know the results wouldn't suit my projects.
    Hopefully one of the video player software products can help.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Lightroom 5.7 will not import video (.mov) from iPhone 5s- Windows 8.1 64bit

    I am running Windows 8.1 64 bit and Lightroom 5.7.  I am trying to import video from my iPhone 5s (.mov).  After trying to import multiple times, now previews are not showing up.  I received the message, "The following files were not imported because they could not be read. (13)."  Then it lists the individual file numbers.  Where do we go from here?

    There's a right way and a wrong way to fix this problem.
    If you get tired of searching for the right way, consider using a script named
    'Import Any Video'
    free by me here:
    robcole.com - MiscLrScripts
    If all goes well, it will be able to transcode it to a known good importable format, and then import the transcoded file instead. (the "right way" is to figure out how to get it to import the original file without transcoding).

  • Downloading Video:  Converting Video (Movie to IPOD)

    HELP!!! I am soooo frustrated with Quick Time Pro!!! I am just trying to download a video to my IPOD and the video converts and downloads fine using Quick Time Pro but there is no volume when i open the converted file. I have tried a number of different videos and installing the Pro Key again and nothing seems to work. It is also so annoying that it takes over an hour to download each video!! Before I convert the file the volume is fine.
    If anyone has run into this problem, please let me know!!!
    Thanks!

    I am having a similar problem.
    I ust upgraded to Quicktime Pro in order to convert existing video/movie files to either MPG-4, Quicktime Movie and/or iPod format, to play on my iPod.
    It seems the conversion works fine, as it appears in my file folder as either MPG-4 or Quicktime Movie. When I open the files (either format), Quicktime application opens but will not play the file. The title of the file appears across the top of the application, but when I click play, the timer and timer bar runs across the screen rapidly with nothing happening!!!
    Help!!!!
    thanks so much!!

  • How to transfer video/movie to ipod from iTunes?

    Hi,
    Recently, I have got my new iPod Touch 4G.  I succesfully transfered songs/apps from iTunes to my iPod Touch. But I don't know how to transfer video/movie to my iPod. I can't add a movie/video clip to iTunes ( File-> Add file to Library).
    Is there any video format conversion required?
    Thanks
    Siva

    Hi,
    You are right! I just converted my videos/movies into MP4 format using HandBrake and it works!
    Thanks

  • Import dvd movie to ipod

    Hi
    Is t possible to import a dvd movie into ipod? If so, how?
    Regards
    DS

    Yes, it is possible. The basic process is to convert the movie from the MPEG-2 format of a DVD to a format the iPod supports, typically a variant of the MPEG-4 standard known as H.264, & add it to your iTunes library. This will require significant processing power & time, especially if you want the best compromise of quality & compression. With a G4 Mac, expect the process to take quite a few hours per hour of content converted.
    Several applications will do the conversion. Many include presets for iPod-friendly "one button" conversions that do not require any knowledge of which formats the iPod will support.
    HOWEVER, note that the legality of copying ("ripping") almost all commercial DVD releases to other media for any purpose is questionable at best, & certainly so if you do not own the DVD or have specific permission or a clear legal right to do so. This is not the place to discuss the nuances of the Fair Use principle or the implications of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, so all I will say about it here is respect the property rights of others just as you would want them to respect yours & don't steal movies.

  • Downloading videos/movies to ipod

    is it possible to download a movie to your ipod straight from windows media player or iTunes, havn't found a way yet. do i have to download a decrypter or is there a faster and easier way?

    If your movie contains multiplexed flies ("muxed"), then Quicktime won't do it. You'll end up with video and no audio for your movie when playing it back on your iPod.
    See: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302588
    You'll need a 3rd party converter. Check out the recommendations on these forums for Windows use.

  • How to IMPORT QUICKTIME movies into ipod?

    I've created a 2:00 video using fcp and exported it using Compressor as 'video for ipod'. the file is
    10 mb.....
    I can't get my ipod (60g color) to recognize the file either by 'importing' it or 'adding to library'...
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Mark

    Ya everything has to go into iTunes first then it can go to the iPod. Apple has made it so iTunes is the portal and there normally isn't anyway to go straight from computer to iPod, at least not for things to be played ON the iPod.

  • How do you import a movie for Ipod

    How can you put a DVD movie on the new IPOD?

    Actually, what you want to do is illegal in the US (and probably Canada too) since it requires breaking the copyright protection on DVDs. As such, even discussion of methods is prohibited by the [terms of use of this site|http://discussions.apple.com/help.jspa]
    A DVD wouldn't play in itunes anyway since it isn't a supported format.

  • Imovie won't let me create an event or import videos

    I am trying to create a new event with imovie and when I do I get this box that says,
    "The operation could not be completed.
    No other information is available about the problem."
    When I try to import videos (MOV or MP$A) it doesn't do anything. I select the video, click import selected, and nothing. It just stays where its at.
    I am running the Mavericks version of imovie that was updated when I installed Mavericks.
    Any solutions?
    Thanks,
    grappler1999

    Sorry, I misread your post - it won't even let you create a new event when you select File - New Event
    Have you been able to update any old events and projects from iMovie 9?
    Can you create a new project?
    Do you have MacKeeper installed?  (It is known to interfere with the Share menu but I have not heard of it affecting event creation)

  • Putting Videos/Movies on I Pod

    i dont know how to put videos/movies on ipod..yes i am very duumb. I have quicktime 7 pro and I tunes 6. What do i do? anyone have any step by step information? i tried looking up pages on this site..couldn't find any...
    plz help! =]

    Videora works okay, but has MAJOR sound/video syncing problems and can't convert a widescreen movie. Everything gets pushed to 4:3 (same thing with ImToo video converter. Here's what I have learned: Use Neros Reencoder 2 (comes with Nero package, which I already had but is expensive if you don't). Reencode the movies to Nero Digital, choose resize to 320x240 and in the burn options, select simmple movie (quicktime compatibility). It works 95% of the time
