DVD ISO image file is an archive file of an optical disc. It is a sector-by-sector copy of the source DVD by specific disk imaging software, and it contains all written contents from an optical disc and owns large file size - almost the same file size as original DVD disc. If you have ripped your DVD movies to ISO files or have some DVD ISO image files downloaded from the Internet, you may want to add these ISO movies to your iTunes library for syncing with iPad, iPhone, iPod or Apple TV, etc. To do this, you have to convert ISO to the digital formats that iTunes supports, as iTunes doesn't allow you to import ISO image files directly.
Get to Know Something About ISO and iTunes Compatible Formats
iTunes is the media player and management app for all Apple devices. To play videos on Apple TV, iPad, iPhone, and other iOS devices, you need to download or purchase them from iTunes. iTunes is very picky about what kind of formats can be imported into it, and only a few of media formats are supported by iTunes as below:
Video Formats: MP4, MOV, M4V
Audio Formats: MP3, AAC, AIFF
Obviously, ISO is not in iTunes supported lists. In fact, DVD ISO images are normally in a large size and many devices cannot directly play ISO Image. And that's why many people are in need of converting ISO to MP4, MOV, AVI, or other ditgital formats to make them more compatible with playing, sharing, and even editing on various devices without any hassles.
Note: iTunes has gone since macOS Catalina released. It has been split into three separate applications: Apple TV, Apple Music, and Apple Podcasts. The function to backup iPhone and iPad is assigned to the Finder. After connecting to the iOS device, it will appear in the Finder sidebar just like any other external drive, and it's very convenient to directly back up, restore and synchronize.
