You don't need to buy software or do anything fancy to add your ripped video to iTunes:

source menu near the upper left.
2. Keeping the iTunes window visible, click the Finder icon in your Dock or other-
wiseopenaFinderwindow.Navigatetothefolderholdingyourmovie,andthen
drag the .m4v file into iTunes.
Your movie may not end up where you'd expect, in the Movies view of the Movies pane. In
iTunes 11.1.2, Apple added a Home Videos view to the Movies portion of iTunes. By default,
iTunes organizes dragged-in video files as home videos ( Figure 41 ).
