Play DVDs in iTunes!!!

Many of us have collected a library of DVDs in our place over the years. Till date, DVD is one of the main sources of movies. Of course there are thousands of websites that gives you entrance to thousands of movies, but what about the collection then? And moreover, streaming movies from the Internet is a tiresome work. Many times the screen will be locked in one place, audio and video will be out of sink and so on. So, DVD is the best source of movies to many of us.

Now, those who have Apple products such as iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, Apple TV etc. may have wanted to watch the DVDs in their Apple products but were unable to. Watching the DVDs in your widescreen TV through your Apple TV or watching the DVD movies in your iPhone, iPad or iPod while on a journey or waiting for someone is an appealing option. But there are two problems that occur. Apple does not support all the video formats that are out there. It only supports Quick Time File Format and MPEG-4 Format movie file with extension .mov, .mp4 and .m4v. Whenever you want to see a video of another format, first you have to re-encode it so that iTunes can play it. Well, that is for videos, not for DVDs. iTunes or Quick Time Pro does not support importing DVD contents. Otherwise I would not have to write this article.

Another problem with the DVD is that often you will find it protected by DRM (Data Rights Management). DRM is a scheme against piracy and illegal copying of DVD contents and mass distribution. It is done to stop the copyright infringement. But in the process, the legal users are also the sufferers. As the owner of the DVD you have complete rights to copy the DVD to your hard disk drive or burn them on other DVDs to create backup, clip some parts of it or whole for personal usage. It is ensured by the Fair Use doctrine in the copyright law. But yet, DRM is in actions to hold back the pirates. Our problem with the DRM is that it won¡¯t let us convert the DVD into a format that iTunes can play. So, we need to remove it first to take our desired action.

A very useful tool is available on the Internet to handle all the above mentioned problems and lets you enjoy your DVDs through iTunes in your Apple products. The tool is Aimersoft DVD ripper.
