Putting video into itunes

How do you put movies or tv shows that you have downloaded from limewire, kazaa etc into itunes. Also, how do you convert video files into whatever format that the ipod reads.

Hows about using Google or maybe I will educate you.
Purchase Quicktime Pro 7 and it will do it for you.
Just so you know, The new Video IPOD (Got mine today)
is and never will be a replacement for products like
the Archos AV 700 or similar units. It doesn't
support DIVx, which is the easiest format to work
with. Great Quality. I have done testing all day and
I have come to realize that their MP4 video files,
which of course are locked (and they want to keep it
that way) were meant for the IPOD and iTunes.
MP4 files (audio or video) are only locked if you purchase them from Apple. If you convert your own files to MP4, they will not be locked in any way.

  • Putting videos into iTunes library

    For some reason, my iTunes doesn't recognize .avi or other video files except for .mpg ones and it doesn't put them in the library. I have currently 3 video's, all .mpg. Can you help me please?

    The problem is indeed that by default iTunes only supports videos that are MPEG4 or MOV. However, there is a tool available, VideoDrive, which allows you to add all current video formats (including AVI) WITHOUT reconversion. The tool simply adds a small pointer file in your iTunes library, pointing to your AVI file. Problem fixed! And you can keep your videos on any (external) drive you like.
    The tool also adds cover art (so your videos appear with DVD covers in Cover flow in iTunes) and metadata info about your movies and TV Shows. I use it almost every day to add new content to iTunes (we don't have videos in the iTunes store over here)
    The tool is available at www.aroona.net (only for Mac OS X)

  • Can't put video into itunes or ipod

    Hi,
    I did spend some time searching and I tried several things but I can't figure it out. My friend burned me a cd with Wedding Crashers as an .avi file. I used "im too mpeg encoder" to change the file into .mp4, mpeg4. I click and drag it and drop it in my ipod folder on itunes, and nothing happens. I try the same thing except drag it into my library and nothing happens, doesn't even show up. I have clicked on file 'add file' to library and i click on it and nothing happens, and add folder and added the folder it was in. All the files in the folder loaded except the wedding crashers .mp4. If anyone has any suggestions or links to places where this has already been asked and answered I would be very appreciative. Thanks.

    I am having the same problem. I need HELP!

  • How Do I Get Home Videos into iTunes?

    I have 6 home videos that I want to put into iTunes....both the iTunes library on the hard drive and the iTunes app.  I had them in there but for some reason they got mixed up and I deleted them. I have the copies so how do I get them into the iTunes library on my hard drive and into the itunes app so I can look at them.
    It is such a mess and I'm trying to make my question as simple as possible.  Here is one thing that happens...when  I tried to put the videos into iTunes they went into a folder called Home Videos.  But there is no folder on iTunes called Home Videos....it is called Movies which is where the videos were before.  There is no place for me to access a folder called Home Videos because there isn't one.  And, If I access the old Movie Folder it is empty.  The Movie folder is permanent....put there by iTunes so I can't delete it and add add one called Home Videos. 
    Can anyone straighten out this mess?  The only good news is that I still have copies of the home videos...they were not deleted.

    Drag them into the library folder.

  • Cannot upload videos into itunes library!

    sorry if this is the wrong place to post or something, but i'm in desperate need of help!
    i can't seem to upload any of my own videos into itunes video library. i heard that i'm supposed to drag the file into the library but when i do that it just stays the same and nothing happens. i tried to reformat the video files to MPEG but it still doesn't work.
    Can someone please help me?
    PS. I'm using Ipod video

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Open Quicktime. Try to open the video through that. Does it open and play in Quicktime?
    Also, right click on the video file. Go to properties. What is the file type/kind?
    You will most likely need to use a 3rd Party Converter, as iTunes will only accept videos that are compatible with Quicktime.

  • Putting Mpeg4 into Itunes.

    I ran a video through videora and converted it into the proper format. But, I am having problems getting the video into itunes and into my ipod video. I've tried dragging it and going to file add to library. And those didn't work, I am running the newest version of itunes. Help?

    What exactly do you mean by "...into the proper format"? Are you encoding in H.264 or MPEG-4? I have heard that alot of people are having trouble with H.264. What resolutions are you encoding in? It has been my experience that if you try to import a video that is outside what iTunes expects it just seems to ignore you. No error message or warning or anything. That sounds like what you may be suffering from.
    The iPod will support the following:
    H.264 video: up to 768 Kbps, 320 x 240, 30 frames per sec., Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats
    MPEG-4 video: up to 2.5 mbps, 480 x 480, 30 frames per sec., Simple Profile with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats

  • Can't import QT compatibile videos into iTunes 6

    Here is what it says about importing video into iTunes 6 in the Help menu:
    You can also watch other QuickTime-compatible videos (for example, files that end in ".mov" or ".mp4") in iTunes. Drag a video into the iTunes window, as you would any song file. Videos have a display icon next to them in the library.
    I have tried everything to get a .mov and a .mp4 movie into iTunes and I can't make it happen. Anyone have any luck with this?
    Dave

    I assume these files play fine in QuickTime?
    Have you tried Add to Library from the File menu (Command O).
    If that doesn't work, try a Save As from QT. You should then be able to import the new file fine.
    I did notice that changing the extension (from .mov to .mp4 in my case) rendered the video un-importable. You don't get any feedback from iTunes either - it just doesn't work.
    Good luck!

  • How to load BBC MP4 DRM video into iTunes?

    Can BBC MP4 DRM protected files be played in iTunes? I don't seem to be able to import a downloaded BBC video into iTunes.
    Sometimes I see files called M4v or something like that which I don't understand. My downloaded file suffix is mp4.

    Place a copy of the file in <Media Folder>\Automatically Add to iTunes. If iTunes knows what to do with it then it will be added to the library. However if the DRM has been applied via BBC iPlayer then the chances are that iTunes cannot authorize or play it.

  • How can I download a song without automatically launching/putting it into iTunes?

    How can I download a song without automatically launching/putting it into iTunes? I download my royalty-free music from VideoBlocks and it automatically launches iTunes and plays the song in iTunes. I just want to save it to a location without going through iTunes. How do I do so?

    Open your web browser's preferences and set it not to automatically open safe files. If you're using Safari, this option is in the General tab.

  • Cant get official Apple test videos into itunes or any mp4

    I am using Apple test video files, I got from apple here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1425
    I cant get any video into iTunes. 
    When I try to drag the video into my ipod I get a pop up saying

    I tried everything I could find online..
    Can someone help?
    I am using an IPOD Classic.

    The videos that will not play, open them and see if they will play in Quicktime first. Also check this artical out and make sure your video is in the format iTUnes supports http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302758
