Now select a good DVD to convert. To test things out I’d suggest you select a nice blockbuster movie you enjoy, like Avatar or Toy Story 3.
Next, put the DVD into the computer. Then, launch Clone DVD Mobile and select the output device, which is iPod Video.

 

Step 3: Select Audio And Subtitles To Convert

Click on the Next button and find the DVD on your computer – usually your DVD sits in the D: or E: drive. You should see folders like “VIDEO_TS” and “AUDIO_TS”.

Select the tracks and chapters to include in the converted video

Select the top-level movie and you’ll find the software lets you pick what tracks and chapters you want to include in the converted video file.

Step 4: Specify An Output File Name And Format

The next thing to do is to specify an output file name and output format. You can select to have higher or lower quality video encoding and change the size of the resultant output file.

Typically, I’d choose slightly lower video quality (“20” on the scale, the default is 23) at 428×320 which should look great on the iPhone and my iPod Video.Specify your output options for the converted video

If you convert a typical DVD movie to iPhone format, such a setting will give you a resultant file size of about 800MB, compared to the 1.4GB file size for a similar length movie downloaded from the iTunes Store.

You can also adjust the letterbox zoom (which you should usually do). Also, if you want to see the movie as you would on TV, you should choose “cinemascope zoom”.

Step 5: Convert Your DVD

Next thing to do is to click Go! And sit back and wait for a while. This conversion process can take quite long, usually about an hour. But it’s definitely worth the wait once you see the output. Once the processing is done, there’s a bit of post-processing to prepare the video file for iTunes playback.

Step 6: Add The Movie File To iTunes

And that’s it! Your new iPhone movie file is ready! You just need to copy the converted movie file to your iTunes folder. In Windows systems, this will usually be in

C:\Users\Your Account Name\Music\iTunes

Next, just drag and drop the movie file onto iTunes.Your converted video will be available in the iTunes
