How to Download DVD Movies Into iTunes
With the continuing advancement of technology, an increasing number of methods are becoming available, when it comes to multimedia and entertainment. The iPod device allows you to view photos and play music and videos. Download your DVDs onto iTunes, so you can watch your favorite movies anywhere you go.
- Download and install a video file converter that features a DVD ripper option. This type of software allows you to copy the data from your DVD and save it on your computer. The converter features changes the format of the video file so that it is compatible with iTunes.
- Launch the program and insert your DVD into the computer. Follow the prompts to set up the program for the initial startup. Be patient while the program rips the information from the DVD, as it can take a few hours to complete.
- Convert the DVD video file into the appropriate format for iTunes. An ideal option is to use a DVD-to-iTunes converter program to complete this step. This may also take a while to convert into the correct format, but is a necessary step in order to get the movie to function properly on your device.
- Launch iTunes and select “Import.” Locate the file you just converted from the corresponding folder on your hard drive and click “Open." The video will then appear in your iTunes library once it has been uploaded.
- Watch your movie directly from the iTunes software or send it to your iTunes-compatible device. This type of file can be played on your iPod or an iPhone.
