Is there a way to import commercially purchased DVD Movie to my iPod?

Is there a way to import commercially purchased DVD Movie to my iPod?
I tried the "Import" function and that didn't work. Is there a function to convert and import or is there a program that might accomplish this?
Thanks in advance.

I would argue that transferring the movie to another medium for *your own personal use* is covered under "fair use", but of course I am not a lawyer. The law that you may be breaking would be the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). Read up:

In any case, we still can't tell you how to do it on these forums.

  • Is there any way to import my OWN DVD movies into iTunes and my video iPod?

    I just purchased the new 30 GB video iPod last week, and although I have already purchased a few movies from the iTunes store, I wanted to know if there was a way to import a DVD movie from my own DVD library like we can with our own music CDs?
    Thanks,

    "That's too bad, because these are movies (DVDs) that I own and have purchased legally myself. How is that different from importing your own purchased CDs into iTunes? Seems like a double standard to me."
    About "legally owning" the DVDs - Yes, I understand, and I'm figuring that most folks who want to put their DVDs onto their iPod are owning the movies legally (or, at least, it appears so).
    That's not really the issue here, though.
    The problem is, there is an encryption that is written onto regular, copyrighted DVDs (i.e., movies). In order to get that onto your iPod, you will have to use software on your computer that breaks that encryption, and makes the file into some more "normal" format, like say, MP4.
    This action can arguably be considered as illegal, in a sense, since you are removing the encryption that's on DVD, which is protecting it from being easily copied, and transferred around. (which would be illegal).
    This is a bit different than CDs, since, although they are copyrighted too, the songs are usually not in a protected format.
    If you have a song that you've purchased from the iTunes Store, and you want to break into that "protected" file format, that's the same kind of issue as the DVD ripping.
    (Notice that the Hosts included that into the ADUA as well, right along with DVD ripping.)
    ...It's quite an interesting kind of subject, isn't it?

    Is there a way to put my own DVD movies on my iPod touch?

    Are these home-made movies or commercial? If commercial we cannot discuss here
    For your movies, you can use handbrake to create a file (there ia an iPod Touch preset) and then import into iTunes and sync over.

  • Is there a way to import your entire music library from an iPod classic into iTunes on  my PC?  PC was wiped out and my iPod is the only complete library copy I have.

    My PC hard drive was wiped out and I am rebuilding my Windows 7 system.  The only complete library I have of my music is located on my iPod classic.  Is there a way to import the library from my iPod into a  new iTunes library on my PC?  I was told if I connect my iPod to the PC, ITunes will try to sync with the iPod and wipe out the library on the iPod.

    "Can you put purchased DVD movies that you have on your ipod? "
    No.  breaking the encryption in order to copy them illegal.
    " what about recorded DVD's that you have? "
    Add them to itunes.

  • Is there a way to import iMovie2 for iOS movies into iMovie 10 on a Mac?

    I used to be able to save the individual components (clips, voiceover tracks, etc) when I chose "Save to iTunes."
    Now that functionality seems limited to sending to another iOS device. Is there a way to get the "pieces" into
    iMovie on the Mac for further editing?

  • Is there a way to get an owned dvd movie into the movie folder for eventual syncing w/ipad?

    I own a collection of Pink Panther old movies some of which I'd like to load into my movie folder on my iMac and then sync them into my iPad2 for viewing while traveling, etc. Is there a way to do this or am I limited to what's available on the Apple store?

    But if they're not copy-protected, you can use Handbrake. It works pretty well to rip to H264 format.

  • Is there a way to import movies to iTunes?

    Is there a way to import movies that I already own to iTunes?

    Sorry, but if you're referring to a commercial DVD, those are copy-protected. Breaking the copy protection is illegal in the US, so discussing ways of doing it are not allowed here (since the US courts have been holding in some cases that even discussing in print such cracking may be illegal).

  • Is there a way to import my movies on dvds to macbook pro then sync onto to Ipad2

    Is there a way to import my dvd movies onto my Macbood Pro and then sync to my IPad2 so that the movies go on that device?

    Sorry, but if you're referring to commercial and hence copy-protected DVDs, breaking the copy protection, which would be necessary to copy the videos from the DVD and convert them, is illegal in the US (and other countries), so we're not allowed to discuss it here.
    If these are home movies that you or someone has burned to DVD and hence are not copy-protected, Handbrake (freeware) is one of the more popular converters. Once converted, you just drag the movie into the iTunes window on your computer and you can then sync it to your iPad.
    Regards.

  • Is there a way to import music from my ipod to the computer?

    is there a way to import music from my ipod to the camputer?
    I have music from all over the world and i want to import all of it to my computer..

    Sorry for insulting Apple. This whole thing has me frustrated. You would think that this is an easy thing...which it is after downloading the third party software and all.
    I am just a bit edgy after talking to 3 customer support folks for almost 2 hours, who I could barely understand and then having them just tell me to download the files again. 3500+ songs...jumping out the window was looking more pleasant (jk). Now I have to explain to the wife why the phone is busted in-two...lol.
    Anyway, I was able to get hooked up with some software and it seems to be downloading fine. I am using iPodCopy. Thanks for the nudge in the right direction and putting up with a bit of attitude. I am sure they have their reasons for not making this an easier operation.

    Is there a way to import music from my windows media player, if so how?

    Exploter the settings in Windows Media Player. It should tell where it is currently storing files. You can also enable the path column in WMP to see where individual tracks are stored. See also Getting iTunes & Windows Media Player to play nicely.
