Best software for converting videos (DVD) for use on iPhone?

**jamesus** · 11-20-2008, 11:58 AM

Look into Handbrake or Videora.

**DSKinTX** · 11-28-2008, 10:43 AM

I recently noticed that my "Digital Copy" of Wall-E was encoded at 853X356. Does anyone know of any software with will create these resolution files for the iPhone?

**Gibralter** · 01-12-2009, 08:34 AM

It is probably because I am an ***** but I can't actually get the video that Handbrake has worked on onto my iPod (no iphone yet but hoping soon

). Once it finished, Handbrake automatically set the icon up to be on my desktop. I dragged it to iTunes but the video will not go over. I know it has to be something simple but I have read the wiki over at Handbrake and am just not getting it.

Thanks for any help

DVD Smith is freeware and is great if you just copy DVD to your hard drive. For DVD to DVD copying, I recommended Movie DVD Copy. It is a pretty good DVD Copy program that rip protected DVDs. I've been using it all the time and never miss backing up a DVD. These two software can be found at movie-dvd-copy.com

I *am* using Mac and used to use Handbrake (but they no longer support OS10.4.) Even when they did, it often took 10 hours or longer to rip a DVD, for me at least. I'd love to find something that works with 10.4.
BTW, my first post to this forum.

PQ DVD To Iphone/Pod should work?

**aifans007** · 02-28-2009, 06:46 AM

I personally use Cucusoft iPhone Video Converter Suite.It works well for me.

**tehflakes** · 03-16-2009, 04:21 PM

I was using videora but when it finishes converting movies for my Iphone it fails to add them to Itunes. Anyone had have any suggestions for this? thanks

**aifans007** · 03-23-2009, 08:29 PM

I personally use . It can converts DVDs to almost any video format including H264, MP4, WMV, AVI, MOV, RM, 3GP, flv, SWF, mpeg-1, mpeg-2, VideoCD, SuperVideoCD, DVD, etc.

**Ekelon** · 03-23-2009, 11:48 PM

Handbrake for DVDs. For everything else Videora is the fastest (as far as spending time clicking goes).

Handbrake and Mac the Ripper are good used in conjunction with eachother.

I got better quality that way

**zulman** · 04-08-2009, 01:12 AM

Thery usefll theme, thx for your help. I have problems with convetation and ripping everytime. Do you know anything about special services, which make for-iphone-format films? After search i find (films-iphone.blogspot.com), it was great if you post your links))

**bartkuer** · 04-16-2009, 08:58 PM

Avex DVD to iPhone Converter is a powerful DVD to iPhone Converter software, it can conver dvd to iphone format.

**newyorkunit** · 04-21-2009, 06:11 PM

Tried several different ones, but ended coming back to handbrake; its fast and easy to use.

Woah, it shouldn't take that long. I use handbrake on my mac, it takes max 15 minutes, and that's if it's a relatively long movie.

**mrainford** · 04-23-2009, 08:14 AM

Nero should do the job if you are Windows based. Not sure about on the Mac though

**RyanH** · 05-07-2009, 11:17 PM

I've used "avex to dvd" ripper for almost two years and its great!! it records at double -speed, so if it's a 1hr movie it will rip it in 30min. I've never had a problem with it and it works great.

(ps, I'm on a PC)

**wenling85** · 05-12-2009, 10:15 PM

Handbrake fails to work on my computer.

Just try [URL="http://www.hd-dvd-ripper.net/dvd-ripper.html#139"]iSkysoft DVD Ripper[/URL].

**faniman57** · 05-13-2009, 08:37 AM

ultimate converter tends to work for me the best. just go and google it

**Soldier1969** · 06-20-2009, 10:12 PM

google free dvd to iphone converter its what I use. Runs flawlessly with vista 64 bit Sp2.

**canamera** · 06-30-2009, 10:07 PM

Mpcstar's tiger play works great for me.

**angelsniper45** · 07-02-2009, 09:51 AM

i use a combination of dvd decrypter for the ripping, it even removes the DRM !!

and handbrake, works flawlessely. although whats the difference between the normal ipod/iphone settings and the "legacy" settings? i did one movie with both settings, but i didnt see a noticable difference.

**Great_Bizarro** · 07-05-2009, 01:47 PM

I have had good luck with DVDFAB 6 it will rip the movie and place it directly in your ITunes directory.

I use handbrake, and mac the ripper if I need to rip the copyright off first.

Not to do anything illegal, but I'm obviously not going to pay to buy a movie from iTunes I already own.
