to learn is what video and audio formats iTunes
support. So that you could select proper video
and audio formats during Blu-ray to iTunes video

why iTunes doesnt accept your video files even
when these files are with extensions as required
by iTunes. Below weve listed the video and audio
formats supported by iTunes.
- iTunes supported video and audio formats

QuickTime and files purchased or downloaded from
iTunes store. Files with a .mov, .m4v, or .mp4

files and purchased M4A and M4P music files from
iTunes store. Also, iTunes can convert audio
files between MP3, WAV, AAC, AIFF, Apple
Lossless. - Note Due to limitations on video codecs, sample
rate, etc., some .mov, .m4v or .mp4 files might
be rejected by iTunes. You then need to convert
these files to iTunes compatible formats and

ripping selected parts of a Blu-ray into an MKV
file that can then be used by HandBrake to encode
the video into the right format that iTunes
recognizes. MakeMKV doesnt do any re-encoding
or compressing of the file so you are likely to
end up with a 20-30GB file when youre done.
