Summary: From this article, you can learn how to convert MPG to iTunes supported video and import to iTunes for organizing, playing or sharing.

Q1: I have been unable to transfer .mpg videos to iTunes[/b] from my hard drive. I need better instructions than the tutorials.

Q2: So I was cleaning my office this weekend, and I found a hard drive that has some video files in MPG format on it. So what I want to do is get these MPG files into iTunes to play on my ATV3. I took a quick second to look at one video, and the quality is ok, but of course it's in SD. So all I want to do is get it into iTunes. What method would be the best, while not loosing any quality of the video?

When you try to load VOB to iTunes library, or even want to add them to work on your iDevices like Apple TV, iPhone or iPad, you may have met some troubles like above quoted. Are you looking for a simple solution to importing multiple VOB files into iTunes on Mac with smooth playback? Here is how to.

As far as I know MPG(MPEG) is unaccepted by iTunes. Since iTunes only accepts MOV, MP4, and M4V formats, you will need to convert .mpg to iTunes supported format and then transfer to iPad and other iOS devices. Brorsoft Video Converter for Mac is just such a Mac video converter you need, which comes with super high conversion speed and keep the output files in good quality simultaneously. If you running a Windows computer and looking for a solution for converting file format from MPG to pretty much any other video file, please try Video Converter. Now follow the step-by-step guide for you.

3. Finally click the Convert button to begin encoding MPG to iTunes format.
