<< 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.
