Import Movies Into iTunes
A Small guide on how to import all your movies into iTunes.
Open With QuickTime
Open the movie with QuickTime Player. If the movie is on two seperate files go ahead and open the second file so both parts of the movie
are now open in QuickTime Player.
Skip To The End
Now what you need to do is skip to the end of the first part of the movie in QuickTime Player.
Select All
Next, go to the second part of the movie thats open in QuickTime Player and choose Edit > Select All.
Copy The Movie
Now choose Edit > Copy to copy all of the second part of the movie.
Paste Onto The End
Now go back to the first part of the movie and choose Edit > Paste from the menu so that we now have both parts of the film together.
Save Movie
Staying with the full movie we now made choose File > Save As from the menu. Give the movie whatever name you want and then choose “Save as a reference movie” from the two options at the bottom of the window, then click Save.
Import The Movie
Now we need to import the newly made film into iTunes, to do this simply drag the (the-name-you-saved-the-film-as).mov file onto “Movies” in the iTunes sidebar. You should then see iTunes say its importing it and once thats finished the movie should be in iTunes, HOORAY!
