Many CD's will include a DVD disc as well containing music videos. Is there a way to import these video files into iTunes as well as the music files?

I have a number of music CD's that also include a DVD which has music videos or concert movies. Is there a way to import these video files into iTunes as well?

wjosten - thanks very much for the detailed instructions. I'll try this as soon as I get my replacement and it looks like you'll probably end up getting the green tick

Same problem here. iTunes just won't import some of my mp3s and I can't figure out why. Most of my mp3s work respectively iTunes adds them but some of them won't - just nothing happens either through adding via the menu or drag&drop them. They just don't appear. Oh yeah and the mentioned mp3s work perfectly in winamp...

Is it possible to import an avi file into iTunes?

I am trying to import in a TV show that i have downloaded as an avi file into iTunes. However when i try to import it nothing happens, if i try and change the file format into a mp4 it wont recognize it. Does anyone have any ideas?
I can not find it in any other file format anywhere online.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you

Export the OMF from an audio app like ProTools or Logic as a stereo pair AIFF, then use that with your video. Chop it up if you need to checkerboard.
Of course this will only work if the audio is very simple - overlapping audio will mess you up. If you can figure out the audio app part, you can split up your OMF into separate tracks.
But then if you can't get it into an audio app, you're a bit hosed.

Image problems importing Illustrator 10 file into Flash MX.

Hello,
I'm working on my portfolio and want to import an Illustrator
(version 10) file into Flash (Flash MX). The problem I'm having is
that when I import the Illustrator file into Flash, it comes out
looking blurred. I tried exporting the Illustrator file into
Photoshop and saving it as a JPEG, PNG, and TIFF (in each file
format, changing the image size to 72 dpi) and I still get the same
blurred result. I also tried saving the file for web, in
Illustrator (in JPEG and PNG formats) with no success as well.
The Illustrator file is a small collage of my graphic design
work (where I pasted graphic work done in Illustraor and made
clipping masks to collage them together), so I'm not sure if
bringing these files together maybe causing some technical issue or
is importing Illustrator files into Flash just something that will
always appear blurred. If so, is there a way I can bring the file
into Photoshop and work with it where I can import it without the
blurred appearance?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

We have multiple request to add support for externally linked files and certainly see the value. There also are a couple third party solutions that offer linked file behavior (I'm not sure what versions of Ps they work with). You can see and add to the request (and find the third party solutions) here:

Can no longer play or import Sound Studio files into iTunes

I recently updated my iTunes and now I cannot import music files that I created in my Sound Studio program (AIFFs, WAVs, MPEGs, whatever). And none of the Sound Studio files I imported into iTunes previously will play. What's up??? Is there a way to "un-update" iTunes and go back to the previous version?

Nevermind, I just did some more searching on the boards and found this topic from someone who had the exact same problem.

Importing Quicktime Audio File into itunes

I have a couple quicktime audio files that I'm trying to import into my itunes library. When I try to simply drag them into my itunes library it will not accept them.
Also I tried using the import control from the itunes window, but when I choose the the quicktime file to import it also will not go into my library. These files where orginally windows media files inwhich I converted over using the "flip4mac" program to convert the windows media files to quicktime files, but neither file type will import into itunes.
These files were simply voice recordings from a digital recorder, how do I get these audio files into my itunes library?? ... Thanks

Ya, looks like the file is still a real WMA file and all that application did was give your QT the ability to play WMA files perhaps? I am not familiar with that one. You need to locate a WMA to MP3 file converter. Some that come to mind are MediaMonkey, EasyWMA, and there are many others. Those first two might both be shareware programs and I don't have any first hand experience with them. I really haven't had the need to do this type of conversion (yet) so haven't looked into the various applications. Perhaps someone reading this can chime in if they know any free ones that work.
In the meantime, hit up versiontracker.com or download.com and do a search and see what you find. But the root cause of your problem is that the file is still in the wrong format for iTunes and iPod use.

Importing a wav file into iTunes

I get voice mail forwarded to email in the form of a .wav file. It will not play back on my MacBook (1st generation black). If I import it into iTunes (drag n drop) it looks like it accepts but nothing happens. Why?

The WAV files produced by voice recorders are low bit-rate WAVs, quite different from CD-quality WAVs.
I do not know exactly what the problem is, but I can tell you that since iTunes 8 came out, this forum often gets complaints about iTunes not properly handling low bitrate WAV files.
Personally I would get a 3rd party conversion tool and make them into MP3s, but maybe someone has a better idea.

Can't import ripped video files into itunes

I stupidly made a copy of itunes - the entire directory structure - to a new external drive by simply dragging all the directories to tne new drive. this seems to have broken something because now i cannot import ripped vid files from external source and the movies & tv files i bought from iTunes store are also unplayable. Any idea on how to fix this?
I tried using the original library but that seems broken too. luckily all music files are accessible, mainly because i ripped them from purchased CDs.
help, please

took a little time to check - the directory structure looks ok altho the music directory is a little screwy - iTunes Music holds artist names wirh albums below, but there is also a generic "music" directory that has a few artist directories that are duplicates of the abovementioned artist directories; not necessarily in a consistent manner. no rhyme nor reason that i can discern, yet.
the original problem remains - i get no response when import ripped dvd (m4v format). no response as before i made the copy - no indication that the import is happening and no movies show up on the movie tab in itunes (and no movies in itunes movie directory).
similarly, downloaded tv progs also don't play in iTunes are are not in a recognized format by Front Row ("format not recognized")
help, please!

Problems importing Illustrator CS2 files into InDesign CS2

Using a MacIntosh and Creative Suite Premium CS2 system 10.3.9
I have created a restaurant menu in Illustrator and want to import it into Indesign with the ability to make changes to text and other formating. As it is, it is importing a pdf file which I can do nothing with, If I copy and paste the Illustrator file, I get non-formatted text and no graphics.
What is the solution or is this possible to do? I thought these two were supposed to work together. Hmmmm

Diane How is a waste of time to learn?
Had you originally set up you menu in ID you could edit it in ID, by placing individual pages made in Illustrator you now have to edit them in Illustrator. as soon as the file is saved it will be updated in ID.
instead of thinking that this forum is a waste of time you would be better served learning how to use the tools you have to their best advantage instead of criticizing a very knowledgeable person who did a nice job of explaining the relationship of the tools you use.

How to import ipod backup file into itunes

hi. accidentally all of my itunes library was removed. i have the files still but they are very unorganized & mostly .wav format so that if i just paste them back into itunes i'll have to label all of them. there's an xml file called "ipod backup" that i found in my itunes music folder but i don't know how to use it. is there any way i could use this file to restore my library and tags? thanks, emily

Open iTunes. On the left you will see a Ringtones category. Open it. Drag the .mr4 file there. It will tell you the length of it, etc. You can then sync it into your iPhone.

Importing a wma file into iTunes

How can import this file and, if it requires converting the file first to a different format, how do I do that?
Thanks!

iTunes for OS X does not have the ability to import WMA files.
One issue I know about importing Windows Media Audio (wma) files is described here:
iTunes for Windows cannot import or play WMA files that are protected by Windows Media Digital Rights Management (DRM). These files usually come from other online music stores. Additionally, Windows Media Player encodes CDs to protected WMA format by default, though you may change that setting.
Both the above come from this article:

Problems importing After Effects files into FCP

Hey guys--
So I have this odd problem importing my after effects clips into FCP. I am working in standard DV, and my After Effects composition settings match my FCP settings.
I am snipping little bits from my FCP project, exporting them to QT, adding stuff on top in AE, then shooting the clip back to FCP. The problem is, whent he clip goes back to FCP it is slightly "pinched." It's not really thaat visible, unless I try to edit a cut in the same shot. The after effects clip is a couple pixels wider, and the quality is a little blurry. If it is a hard edit, you wouldn't even notice the difference, but the two shots together make it pretty noticeable. I'm not set to square pixels or anything, and i get the same results no matter which codec i render in AE with.
Any ideas?

I am having horrendous problems importing XD-CAM files into Premiere CS6

Please tell me if there is a fix for importing XD-CAM .MXF files into Premiere CS6 6.0.0. Have tried the import and the media browser functions. The paths look like this:
PROAV
     CLPR
     CMPTR
     EDTR
     USERDATA
Let me know how to do this.....

Also, update your Premiere to 6.0.3 on PC, or 6.0.2 on Mac.
And transfer the entire folder structure from media to hard drive without modifications. That includes any Sony transfer utility, just use Windows to copy stuff straight over.
Then use Media Browser as directed previously
Thanks
