How to Convert DVD to iTunes
<< Back to Mac DVD Ripper Site
Most people own several DVDs that they would like to see on iTunes. However, for commercial reasons, Apple does not provide any means of ripping a DVD to iTunes. Therefore, the only recourse left to people is to use some other software to do the conversion. There are professional products in the market that will allow you to convert your DVD collection for viewing on iTunes.
You can easily rip your DVDs with a professional DVD ripper like Tipard iTunes. You will be able to convert DVDs without any loss in quality. Other features available are cropping of the black bar, appending effects to the DVD video, splitting the video, or merging multiple files and many more. This converter makes it possible for you to play your DVD collection through iTunes on your iPod Touch, iPhone4, iPad or other compatible portable players.
The operation of conversion is simple and can be performed by anyone, without technical knowledge. The software is available on two platforms, Windows and Mac, so both types of users can avail it. Linux users will need to use AVIDemux-2 and convert their DVDs to MP4 for watching on iTunes.
Windows users will initially need to download and install Tipard iTunes DVD Ripper on their system and run it. Clicking on 'Load DVD' will add the DVD Movies that you want to rip to iTunes. With this converter, it is possible to convert ISO files as well.
Next, you will have to select the output format. For converting and playing on iTunes, the format you will need is M4V, MP4 or MOV. Therefore, select MP4 from the 'Common Video'. Indicate the output folder where you want the converted file to be.
At this point, either you may want to convert the entire DVD without any further changes, or you may want to edit the video to get a customized iTunes video. The software has several powerful editing features that will make the editing a simple affair, and you can enjoy your self-produced video in your favorite iTunes in any of the portable devices.
However, if no further editing is required, then simply hit the 'Start' button to begin the conversion. Depending on how big your original DVD was, you may have to wait for a while before your converted file is ready.
Once the conversion is finished, you may check out the quality of your converted video file in any iPhone4, iPad or iPod Touch, playing iTunes. If you are satisfied, you may plan to store the video on your hard disk or burn it onto a DVD.

Convert DVD to AVI
The Best Way to Convert DVD to AVI
<< Back to Mac DVD Ripper Site
DVDs are all very good and nice to have, until you have accumulated enough of them that you start thinking of where to store them. This is one time that you start thinking of converting them to simpler formats and storing them on your hard disk. There may be other reasons as well, for wanting to convert DVDs. You may wish to watch the DVDs on other popular devices supporting formats such as MPEG2, MPEG4, H264/AVC, Xvid and DivX, or other formats such as QuickTime MOV, Flash video and WMV.
There are several popular programs to convert DVD to AVI format. These are available on all popular OS's such as Windows, Linux and Mac. Most are very easy to use even by novices. However, their features allow for sophisticated controls as well, useful for professionals who would like to edit the video before conversion. With these conversion tools, the DVD movie can be easily converted into an AVI video format, which you can save on the hard disk of your computer and share with your friends. It is also possible to convert the DVD into a MP4 video format, which you can view on your portable MP3/MP4 player. These programs are intelligent enough to understand the different video standards such as the NTSC and PAL, while converting.
The converter program has to be downloaded and installed in your computer and made to run. The DVD is then inserted into its drive and read by the program. This will show you the video files in the DVD. If you are interested in converting the whole DVD as it is, reading the IFO file is advisable as it contains information about the entire structure of the video file, and you will be able to avoid problems of audio and video not in synch after conversion.
Since this type of conversion is fairly computing-power intensive and occupies a lot of space, it is preferable to use the hard disk for holding the output file. Output file format should also be chosen correctly to one of the AVI formats that you finally need.
The video conversion programs are fairly simple to use by beginners, who do not have any knowledge of video formats. The user interface is generally friendly and intuitive. One of the advanced features allows splitting the video file from any desired location, which is useful for editing. The program also allows you to replace the original soundtrack of the DVD with your own. You can also rip the audio from the DVD to be stored as a standalone MP3 file.

Differences between DVD +R and -R
What is the difference between DVD+R and DVD-R?
I notice that many people keep asking this question on yahoo answers when they are using DVD recorder and DVD burner, and these two recorder format are really very similar and could be confusing. So if you are still unclear about the difference, just read on for details.
As of June 2006, there is no physical difference between a DVD-R/-RW disc and a DVD+R/+RW disc. There is, however, a series of technical differences between DVD-R/-RW DVD+R/+RW recorder format. The DVD+R/+RW format offers subtle extra functionality for people who record their own movies and data.
The Standards Differences
Both formats can be written once, and the truth is that the two competing technologies use different formats. No single company "owns" DVD and both technologies have their "champions".
DVD-R (pronounced "DVD dash R") and DVD-RW are officially approved by the standards group DVD Forum which was founded by Mitsubishi, Sony, Hitachi, and Time Warner, so it has tremendous industry support for its technical standards. DVD-R is supposed to be slightly better for videos and movies as widely accepted by home DVD players
DVD+R ("DVD plus” R) and DVD+RW formats are not approved by the DVD Forum standards group, but are instead supported by the DVD+RW Alliance. The DVD+RW Alliance are supported by Sony, Yamaha, Philips, Dell, and JP, so it also has tremendous industry support for its technical standards. Note that Sony supports both organizations. And DVD+R is supposed to be slightly better for data, because the data can be added later (not rewrite, but still accessible) if the disk has enough room.
The Main Functional Differences
1) the DVD recorder's built-in defects management
2) the way the recorders format and rewrite DVDs
3) the price.
According to the claims of the DVD Alliance, DVD+R recorder will let you:
1. Instantly eject without having to wait for finalized formatting.
2. Ability to record one DVD disc partially on PC and partially on television.
3. Background formatting: while the disc is being formatted, you can simultaneously record on already-formatted portions of the same disc.
4. Enhanced ability to edit filenames, movie and song titles, and playlists.
5. 100% compatibility with all other DVD players, while still enjoying these extra recording features.

Exporting Movie Files in Final Cut Pro for DVD Authoring
Once you have poured your sweat and blood into a digital video project you may want to put it onto a great DVD to show your family and friends. When you are editing in Final Cut Pro you must first export your movie file in a certain way to get it into the DVD authoring program.
Compressor
Once your final movie sequence is finished in the Timeline you will be ready to turn it into a movie file outside of Final Cut Pro. If you have been working on separate sequences that are all part of your final film then you need to nest all of the sequences and get them into a single one. Once you have done this make sure that sequence is up in the Timeline and then go to File in the task part and go to Export. When Export is highlighted it will open a number of options for how you want this to be done.
You need to select Export Using Compressor, which will then open a different program from the Final Cut Suite called Compressor. This program does what it sounds like and compresses regular video files, such as QuickTime files, into smaller ones. Once here a menu will open up, and in the upper left hand section is where you need to drag settings and destinations. Below that window is a menu that has two tabs, one containing settings and one containing destinations. Click on the settings tab and then select the Apple folder. A number of options drop down under it, and you need to open the DVD folder. Under here you will have a number of options, but the best one to use for DVD authoring software is the “DVD: Best Quality 90 Minutes” option. When you open this folder there will be two items in there, one for video and one for audio. You then drag and drop each of these items into the window in the upper left hand part of the Compressor display. Once you do that you will have two things appear in there, one listed as Dolby Digital Professional 2.0 and one labeled as MPEG-2 with a variable size next to it.
Choose Your Destination
The next thing you are going to do is select a destination on your computer or external hard drive for the compressed files to go. Highlight each one individually and go to Target in the task bar and the Destination option. There is will let you choose where you would like the files to go. Once you have done this both the audio and video in the upper left hand window will lose the exclamation points they had in them and will be ready for compression. You simply click on submit in the lower right portion of this window and the compression will begin. It will process the video and audio separately, and do so by cutting out frames. This can be a lengthy process depending ony your computer and how large your film was to begin with.
Authoring Software
Once it is done you will be ready to import them into your DVD authoring program, which since you are using Final Cut Pro will most likely be the associated program, DVD Studio Pro. This is a relatively easy task that is necessary if you want to use an advanced DVD authoring system for your final copy.

dvd disc size capacity
Different DVD discs size capacity
The basic types of DVD (12 cm diameter, single-sided or homogenous double-sided) are referred to by a rough approximation of their capacity in gigabytes. In draft versions of the specification, DVD-5 indeed held five gigabytes, but some parameters were changed later on as explained above, so the capacity decreased. Other formats, those with 8 cm diameter and hybrid variants, acquired similar numeric names with even larger deviation.
The 12 cm type is a standard DVD, and the 8 cm variety is known as a MiniDVD. These are the same sizes as a standard CD and a mini-CD, respectively. The capacity by surface (MiB/cm2) varies from 6.92 MiB/cm2 in the DVD-1 to 18.0 MiB/cm2 in the DVD-18.
As with hard disk drives, in the DVD realm, gigabyte and the symbol GB are usually used or distinction, gibibyte (with symbol GiB) is used . Most computer operating systems display file sizes in gibibytes, mebibytes, and kibibytes, labeled as gigabyte, megabyte, and kilobyte, respectively.
The DVD sizes can be a bit confusing. There are basicly 4 different DVD Sizes,
DVD-5, holds around 4 700 000 000 bytes and that is 4.37 computer GB where 1 kbyte is 1024 bytes* . DVD+R/DVD+RW and DVD-R/DVD-RW supports this format. Also called Single Sided Single Layered. This is the most common DVD Media, often called 4.7 GB Media.
DVD-10, holds around 9 400 000 000 bytes and that is 8.75 computer GB. DVD+R/DVD+RW and DVD-R/DVD-RW supports this format. Also called Double Sided Single Layered.
DVD-9, holds around 8 540 000 000 bytes and that is 7.95 computer GB. DVD+R supports this format. Also called Single Sided Dual Layered. This media is called DVD-R9, DVD-R DL, DVD+R9, DVD+R DL or 8.5 GB Media.
DVD-18, holds around 17 080 000 000 bytes and that is 15.9 computer GB. DVD+R supports this format. Also called Double Sided Dual Layered.
* In the computer world is 1 KB data = 1024 bytes so 4 700 000 000 bytes / 1024 = 4 589 843KB / 1024 = 4482MB / 1024 = 4.37GB.
DVD+R/DVD+RW/DVD+R DL and DVD-R/DVD-RW exact sizes
DVD-R/DVD-RW = 4 706 074 624 bytes ( 4488 MB )
DVD+R/DVD+RW = 4 700 372 992 bytes ( 4482 MB )
DVD+R DL = 8 547 993 600 bytes ( 8152 MB )
