Transfering DVD to Iphone - recommended software

berkeley384 · 26-06-2009, 7:03 PM

Hello

I have all the futurama box sets and some scrubs box sets also that I would like to convert so I can watch them at work on my iPhone

Does anyone have any recomended software they use, ideally thats free so that I could do this.

I assume that once they are converted, its just drag and drop

Thanks in advance

Mac or pc? If you have a mac then handbrake is really good, took me about 50 minutes to convert each disc for family guy season 5 (3 discs). Not sure what's available for the pc though

Videora

Handbrake is still good for PC

You will need a dvd decryptor, however.
Google is your friend..

Then just use the presets.

Best part is, it's all Free...

I had this trouble ripping PE for my psp.

Basicly, write down the number of chapters for each episode (futurama's are all 4)

Then set the begin/end chapters for each one, then add to the que (sorry, can't spell for toffee...)

Ie, Futurama: Se2e01 = cpt 1-4, Se2e02 = 5-8, ect...

Yes, but learning these skills is usefull for converting for other devices.
Plus HB is faster :D

Its running in the background now, but what I really wanted to do was split the episodes off of the disc so I could save space by uploading only the episodes I want - Is that possible

Sorry I dont get this bit ...

Ok, when you open the disk in handbrake, there are two dropdown menus, start and end chapter,
labeled chapters ___ through ___
Just set those for each episode, then add them to the queue

So to rip the 1st futurama episode, select chapters 1 through 4.

For episode 2, chapters 5 through 8.

I use DVD Decryptor and then total video converter - very simple and straightforward - converted the Band of Brothers boxset - excellent quality

Thats doing it straight off the disc, should I rip it 1st with DVD decryptor

I have an avi file on my puter, its 22 mins long , using that it will take 35 mins

Michael · 26-06-2009, 9:37 PM

Nope, I do it straight off the disk too...
Is dvd 43 running in the background?

berkeley384 · 26-06-2009, 9:45 PM

Stop everything now!

What you will have so far is a slowly encoded, garbled mess...

Dvd's are encrypted with Macro\/ision, which is removed by your dvd player when watched.

However, Handbrake does not have this, but it still tries to encode, resulting in 20x time needed, and useless results.

Run dvd43 in the background at all times during encoding,and you will be fine

For avi i use Winavi MP4 Converter-a 22min episode takes about 5 mins
For dvd i use DVDFab-converts in real time but file size can be big.For example Wall-E was 944mb and The Incredibles 688mb, both using default settings.
