iCal in 10.5.8 and the new mobileme
How do I get movies off my DVD’s and into iTunes using Handbrake?
___________
Your movie will now show up in itunes and can be synced to other devices.
Test this out before investing a lot of time into importing to make sure you've selected the best format for your viewing experience with handbrake. The .m4v movies should be fine. Just nice to check to make sure there are no problems. That's it.
___________
- insert dvd
- open handbrake
- select the DVD icon in the left column of the drop down window. chose "open"
- After handbrake scans the dvd for chapters, select start. Choose the location you want these movies to live. ie: External drive If you have the space the just let them live in the iTunes folder. filepath: users/music/iTunes/itunesmedia/movies
- Now that the movies are in the right location, it's time to tell itunes they exist.
- Go to iTunes preferences under Advanced. Uncheck the "copy files to iTunes". This has already been done. Hit ok.
- Now, in the menu bar, go to File and select "add to library"
- Navigate to users/youruser/music/iTunes/itunesmusic/movies and select the movie(s) ...(multiple select by holding down the command key) then hit choose.
