Ripping DVD to iTunes

Having trouble ripping a DVD to iTunes, it plays in real player just fine.

You have to extract/demux the audio portion from DVDs using a tool like MPEG Streamclip http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-win.html
As most commercial DVDs come CSS encrypted in this case you have to use a so called Ripper to copy the DVD's content first to your HD.

Problems Moving Ripped DVD from Itunes to Ipod

Problems Moving Ripped DVD from Itunes to Ipod
I am having a problem transfering ripped DVD's from the Itunes Video folder to the actual Ipod. I thought one of the cool points of the Video Ipod was that you could play DVD's on it. I know I needed to use special software to achieve this since I researched it here. I am using Handbrake Lite since regular Handbrake look too daunting for me. I also used Isquint, since it was recommened here. I used both without changing anything on both of those progams other than click the go button. The DVD's will play in Itunes but it won't allow me to drag them to the Ipod. They are in the Video folder in Itunes. What in the wild, wild world of sports am I do'in wrong? I assume it's something stupid because the device is stellar. Hope someone out there can lend us a hand.
Kind Regards,
Julias

How to rip DVD to iTunes for AppleTV?

Hi all,
I am new to the mac world and interested in how best to rip a DVD to iTunes for use in AppleTV? Using 2010 Mac Mini. Thanks!

I use "Mac DVD Ripper Pro" to rip the DVD to my iMac (not free but works well), then use handbrake to convert to a iTunes friendly format (just use the AppleTv 2 preset).
I do it this way so i can rip several, and then load all of them into the handbrake queue and let it process them over night.
Then i use iDentity to add the metadata to the file and add to iTunes.

Ripping DVDs inti ITunes

Am I able to rip my DVDs into Itunes to synch onto my IPad & IPhone?? If so how?

I doubt that Warner considers copy protection to be a "waste of time". Instead, it's that they are producing less-popular titles as "made to order" and cannot put copy protection on those one-off DVDs; it's not technically possible. I very much doubt that they'll drop copy protection on the mass-produced DVDs, though of course we can all hope.
In any case, though, you're right; there are some studio-released DVDs that do not carry copy protection. Most still do, though.

Ripping DVDs to iTunes 7

I have just moved to Australia from the UK and bought a new mac mini (intel duel core) and can't watch any of my DVDs shipped from the UK as they are region 2. With iTunes 7 incorporating movies, is there a way of ripping them all to a format I can store, then import to iTunes 7?

You could purchase an external DVD/CD burner and set it to region2 and watch your DVD's that way and have the internal drive set to your new home region.
As noted you can use several different programs to change the region code to "All" or "none" and the new DVD will play on any player. If you have the time then that is another way.

Ripping dvds to itunes

how do I take a movie dvd and rip into itunes?

If you are talking about commercially issued DVDs, you can't - they are copy protected to prevent you doing that.

Ripping DVDs to iTunes/iPod?

I want to put a DVD onto the computer so I can then put it onto my iPod. My brother put the first POTC movie onto my iPod, and want to put others on, but I don't know how and the software my brother used (Sompy) seems to hate my computer.
So, can anyone help me out here? What FREE software can I use to get the DVD onto my computer? I know that iTunes will convert it to mp4 format so that's okay, I'm just having trouble getting the damned thing onto the computer in the first place.
Thanks!

See this for help: Guide to converting video for iPod (Mac/Windows).

Ripping dvd's to itunes

Is there any way I can rip dvds to itunes, so that I can put them on my ipod? Please help me.

Not directly, no.
You need to look for third-party applications that can convert DVD audio or video into a format that iTunes can handle.

ITunes Ripped DVD Fustrations

Hi Guys,
This topic must have been covered before but here is my problem, I have a new MAC Mini, 2TB Time Capsule both networked by Ethernet, 2x ATV's. I have ripped over 300 of my own DVD's to the Time Capsule via a registered version of DVD Fab for MAC, I have run the Rips through Identify to get all the Meta Data, this intern adds the Ripped DVD to my iTunes library. My iTunes Media files are located on the Time Capsule. Everything is the viewed via the ATV's using Home Sharing within iTunes.
All was working great until a few weeks ago when titles started to grey out on the MAC and disappear completely on the ATV's, I can get them back by using the get info option, but why do they keep disappearing? It's not all of the titles, just some of them, I would say about 40-50%, I also leave the MAC and the Time Capsule left on all the time, not sleeping.
This morning I checked my library and again a lot of the titles were not showing up but last night they were all there and working.......it's as if something nips in while I'm asleep and plays around with the library, please help anyone........ps sorry for the long post......

You will have to get the content into a format iTunes can accept. For format information, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2729
Handbrake is often recommended for doing the conversion. It works quite well, in my experience, and has the benefit of being free.

ITunes 11.3.1(2) stopped ripping DVDs on iMac i5 2010

I've a 27 inch, mid-2010 iMac w/ 2.85 GHz i5 processor, 12 GB of RAM and running OSX 10.9.4 (Mavericks). iTunes is 11.3.1 (2) has stopped ripping cds to iTunes. Just ejects them. I have used this option quite a bit, any ideas as to how to help? FYI, I had my hard drive replaced by Apple free of charge about 2 years ago. Thanks.

Search to forums for similar questions. This is a 4 year old drive so it is not inconceivable it is failing.

How do I add a DVD to Itunes to add to Ipod Classic?

I just got a 80gb Ipod classic as an upgrade from a 4th gen nano and am trying to upload movies onto itunes for the first time, but cant. I've tried inserting the movie with itunes on like I do cds, nothing. I've tried importing or adding folders like I would do to add multiple cds, ad still nothing happens.The dialog/choosing boxes close, but itunes doesnt do anything. Please someone tell me what I have to do to upload my movies to take on trips. Thats the whole reason I got the 80gb instead of just getting a new nano.

If you mean commercially released films or TV shows on DVD I'm afraid that can't be discussed as that involves breaking the encryption on them (you can't simply import a DVD into iTunes, they are copy protected).

Ripping Dvd's

I am trying to use my new ipod and i was wondering does Super DVD to Ipod Converter,rip dvds to your computer and then convert them so itunes can use it? Please answer this somebody who know this!!!
Windows XP

I tries Super DVD-iPod Converter, but with the DVDs I tried (Lion King and Fight Club) it didn't work. As far as I know, these DVDs needed to be Decrypted first. When I tried so, I didn't have sound with Super DVD-iPod Converter.
Cucusoft's converter immediately worked: it ripped the DVD and converted it all at once.
For me it's the best alternative!
Let me suggest you download trials of both programs (just Google both converters and add "free download". You'll find plenty of sites!). When you do so, REMEMBER those are Trial Versions. This implies that texts like "Trial Version" spoil your picture! You have to buy it to remove the texts. However, the trials are good for testing though! (Unless you want to convert complete DVDS in Trial, try to not fully convert the film, but Abort after a couple of minutes. At least Cucusoft's converter provides the opportunity to watch that couple of converted minute!)
Good luck!
