Loading DVD movies into iTunes 10.6.3 over OS10.6.8 stream to iPad

Hi,
I am on holidays and want to watch a DVD (No Code of Conduct, always been a Martin Sheen fan) I bought at a Yard Sale. My van is set up to port the iPad audio through the van stereo and has a mounting bracket for the iPad that makes it handy to watch while in the bed. Fortunately, I brought my MacBook along for the DVD player. I want to watch the movie on the iPad while it is playing in the MacBook. I tried to load the DVD into iTunes for Home Sharing , but no luck there.
How do I stream a DVD movie to my iPad from my MacBook?

Sorry Winston, but I can and have done it.
Not the way I wanted to but it works none the less.
First, convert the DVD to a format usable by iTunes
Second, import the converted movie to iTunes and turn on home sharing for the MacBook AND the iPad, log in both machines
Third, make sure both devices are connected to the same network. I also tried turning on web sharing on the MacBook but for some reason we sharing wouldn't run so I connected to an another available network.
Last, run Video on the iPad, select the movie and badda bing, it works.
NOTE, try this with a better movie next time. Although I like Martin Sheen, not the best choice.
Ken
PS. I'll report back when I get websharing working to see if it runs without an outside network.
PPS. Since the movie was loaded into iTunes it was easy to sync the movie into the iPad for watching without the help of the MacBook.

How do I get DVD movies into iTunes (and thus my iPad)?

I have a pc with Windows XP. How do I import my DVD movies into iTunes? Do I need to buy additional software? Or is my best bet joining netflix?
Thanks!

you can copy them for your own use.
Copying is not the issue. Breaking the encryption is.
But it's kind of a catch 22 in that you cannot copy a DVD unless you break the encryption.
in Europe it is not
Europe is not one country.
Most European countries have their own equivalent of the DMCA and it is illegal to break the encryption in some of these countries.

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?

Loading DVD Movies to iTunes

How can I load a copyrighted DVD movie, such as "The Matrix," to iTunes so that I can load the movie on my iPod?

I loaded more songs into Itunes. How can I move them to my IPhone?

I loaded some CDs into Itunes and they show up in the Music folder okay. When I connect my Iphone to Itunes, I see a music folder under the IPhone icon in the left column but clicking on that shows the list of songs already on my IPhone. How do I move the new songs loaded onto the IPhone without erasing the songs already on the IPhone. I need to do a "merge" somehow. Advice please...

You need to select the iPhone 'device' (not the Music section underneath it which just shows what is already on the device) and then select the Music tab that will appear on the right-hand side of iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1351
You can also just highlight the new songs in your iTunes music library, and drag-and-drop them over to the iPhone device.

Is it possible to download a dvd movie into my itunes account so i can put it on my ipad?

Is it possible to download a dvd movie into my itunes account so i can put it on my ipad? If so, how?

Sorry, but if you're referring to commercial and hence copy-protected video 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) and hence Apple explicitly forbids such posts. We're therefore not allowed to discuss it here. Some DVDs and Blu-Ray movies come with a "digital copy" that allows you to download a copy of the movie for use on computers and portable devices. You might see if any of the DVDs you have come with such a feature. Walmart/Vudu also has a service that basically gives you a digital copy of a DVD you already own. See:
http://www.vudu.com/disc_to_digital.html
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.
Regards.

Trouble loading movies into iTunes

I recently aquired several movies as files on my computer (I assure you this is legal) However, when I try to load these movies onto iTunes, namely V for Vendetta and Advent Children, it simply refuses to do so. These movies are in the same format as several other files I have sucessfully uploaded, and there is room on it for them.
How can I fix this

I had the same problem and now I use iVI to import my video into iTunes. You just drag your videos onto it and it converts them and puts them into iTunes for you. It's worked great. Hope it helps.

Merry Christmas Holly!
They must be in mp4 format. With quicktime pro, you can convert videos to the file type that itunes will recognize and that will play on the video ipod...
Or you can download this free converter...

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. "

DVD movies to ITunes ?

Hi guys
I wasn't able to find this answer...so here it goes...
Is there a way to get your own DVD movies onto ITunes so that you can load those movies on your IPod?

Your own unencrypted disks from iDVD for example, can be converted with a number of legal applications such as Videora or iSquint. Protected files cannot. The fastest way on a mac is with Elgato's Turbo.264 USB device which offloads the H.264 encoding to the device and is a lot faster like 4X the speed (note ADS makes/sells one that looks identical so there may be a Windows version out there). However the above applications and device will not work with commercial DVD's at all.

I'm unable to drag mp4 movies into itunes and sync with ipad after updating to 10.5.2.11 version. I'm using windows 7? I was able to in the previous version, why?

Im unable to drag mp4 movies into itunes and sync to my ipad2 after updating itunes to 10.5.2.11? Im using Windows7. I was able to before this update, why?

I see same question with itunes not accepting mp4 videos and no answers? Has anyone been able to sort this out or is it a software problem being attended by apple? Please reply?

How do I get iPhone movies into iTunes' movie menu in the sidebar?

I've tried to get iPhone movies into iTunes, but they turn into .MOV files and won't transfer!
I've tried exporting iPhone movie files from iPhoto into iTunes shared movie files (Movies folder), but
they don't appear in the iTunes movie list! They don't appear in the iPad video app either!
What's the story! . . . . thanks f

Allan, I tried all you suggested. I ended up with 'IMG' files in the source list, and they won't play. When double clicked they try to open for a blink, then back to the list.
When exporting the iPhone video from iPhoto, what did you fill out in the dialogue box. All I saw were selections referring to photos (jpeg, medium, etc.) I didn't see choices for video! Wouldn't it be just as easy to just drag
the video from the iPhoto thumbnails to the desktop? Am I missing something here?
Thanks again

Why cant i drag and drop movies into itunes?

why cant i drag and drop movies into itunes?

To make it display on the desktop, Finder > Preferences > General tab > check external disks.
The drive might be formatted NTFS for Windows which is treated as read-only on the Mac. Need to reformat it using disk utility.
