Ripped HD Movies into iTunes?

Hi folks.
I'm in the process of trying to see what solutions are out there to host all my movies/photos/music from a NAS or MacBook Pro, to 2 TV's in my house. On that topic, i'm looking at the Apple TV solution. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
Anyway, the question i have for the iTunes section is this.
I want to start watching HD movies in my possession. Lets say for arguments sake have a Blu-Ray home movie and ripped it to a file format. Will iTunes allow me to import the HD file? I'm assuming format will have to be either .m4v, .mp4, .Mov? (Being .mp4, wont that impair the quality of a HD film?) Again, any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.

Yes, there are several options you could find on Google.
Some ask for a small registration fee.
You may also find freeware or shareware for this purpose.
I tried to be more specific, but this BB prevented me.
Sorry.

    I know this is an old thread, but I've been researching ripping my Laserdiscs to my Mac.  Did you ever get it worked out?  I've been reading here about the Grassvalley ADVC300 to capture and convert analog video to digital.  Still learning about it.  Also, here's a wiki that has a lot of information about ripping laserdiscs:

  • 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. "

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • How to import movies into itunes

    Hi All,
    Here i am using Ipod touch, nw i am trying to add the movies into itunes but nothing is happening when i drag the movie into itubes and even added also.
    Can anyone help me on this.

    Looking on the web I found that the Graboid video content needs converting. Itunes will accept mp4 or m4v.
    There are many converting apps out there. Handbrake is free and has presets for Apple TV and iphone etc
    Remember it is illegal to convert videos you do not have copyright to.

  • Import movies into itune

    Hello,
    how can I import movies into itune. I have tried it with many formates but i doesen´t work and it doesn´t convert.
    Thanks

    If they are your own private vdieos, it's fine to import them. They need to be in the right format i.e. Quickitme format or MPEG4.
    If the are not you need to convert them, here is a link to a free converter, I have not tried it myself so can not vouch for its quality:

  • Can you download movies into iTunes then watch them via airplay without an internet connection?  We want to be able to watch them in our RV that does have an internet connection always.

    Can you download movies into iTunes and watch them via airplay without an internet connection?  We want to be able to watch downloaded movies in our RV.

    If you want to watch on your iPad screen, you don't even need airplay.
    If you want to watch on a television screen, you need an AppleTV.
    In both cases...
    If the movies are purchased, there is no need for an Internet connection to the outside world.  If they're rented, you need an Internet connection for the first minute or so that Apple knows that you're watching the movie.  I do not know if a rented movie can be stopped and restarted without an Internet connection.

  • Ripping Music CDs into iTunes

    When ripping music CDs into iTunes, the tracks are occasionally saved into separate albums.… how do I avoid this? I want them in one album as they were on the CD so that I can play the music by clicking only one album.

    The Gracenote database sometimes has entries that list a track via a different artist, usually when there's a guest artist on the track and so whoever uploaded the track data listed the artist as something like "Joe Smith featuring Fred Mertz". For instructions on correcting this, see:
