The tradeoff is the higher the quality, the longer it takes to convert and the file size is the largest. You can experiment but I would generally recommend EXCELLENT QUALITY WIDE SCREEN H.264 for all your choices but you can decide what you like best.

There are different ones for each choice – here are the AppleTV choices. Once you select the TAB choice – you then select the “PROFILE SETTING” popup menu. It’s great if you have an older iPad, iPhone or iPod as you can select the specific resolution choices for your device. I’m not going to bother covering them all because if you know all your choices, then you are an advanced user and you don’t really need all the detailed info.įor most users, the choices are really APPLETV, IPAD or IPHONE as they cover all the formats you need for the most flexibility.ĪppleTV is the highest resolution and will allow you to play it on your computer (Mac or PC) and of course stream it to your AppleTV device hooked to your TV.īut the AppleTV resolution and setting is too high to drag straight into your iPhone or iPad so if you want a file designed for your iPad or iPhone, you might prefer to select the iPad or iPhone setting. Then in the bottom tabs, you can select what file format you want. In the OUTPUT settings section, you can even switch from English to a dubbed language choice, whether you want subtitles and the “output folder,’ where you want the file to be saved to.
Macx dvd ripper pro episodes movie#
If the name is cryptic, just look at the time length – the movie should be the longest one. If you only want the movie converted, then just click on the movie.

If you want copies of them all, just click on each line item in the TITLE INFO area so the button on the left is highlighted. Under normal circumstances, your DVD (movie) disc has the the main movie, some trailers and maybe a few mini featurettes so they will be listed in that “title” area. It will take a few seconds to load the the “TITLE” info on the right. It will pretty much search and find the DVD disc in your drive – presuming you only have one DVD disc drive – click OKAY on the DVD disc you want to convert. This is pretty the one and only screen of the app.Īt first glance, it can look a little overwhelming but I think for 98% of users, a couple mouse clicks will get you going.Ĭlick on DVD Disc in the top left tab. MacX DVD Ripper Pro could not be easier to use. If you only a few dozen DVD’s to convert, it’s probably un-necessary but if you have hundreds, then it’s probably worth buying an external drive to save wear and tear on your internal drive and of course, peace of mind and easier to resolve stuck disc problems.

I find the peace of mind is worth the extra $40 – it’s so much easier to disconnect an external drive and remove a disc if a problem arises than trying to dislodge a disc stuck inside your machine. If you plan on converting-ripping a lot of DVD’s to your device, I recommend buying an external DVD reader-burner like this $37 Samsung one from Amazon. Based on the storage space you have, you can determine how many movies you can load. Most movies are about a MB a minute at a great resolution so you can figure a 90-minute movie at excellent quality will be about 1.5 GB … now you can go a little lower on the resolution but you can generally figure about 1 GB for a solid resolution conversion-rip. It’s great when they offer a multi-disc version with a digital copy but often times they do not … and as much as I like iTunes, I am not willing to pay another $14.99 when I’m holding the DVD in my hand and want to watch it on my iPad.Īnd while DVD’s seem fairly impervious to damage, they are easily scratched so it’s much easier to deal with a device loaded with a couple dozen movies than carrying around 20-discs in the car or on the road. I am not a pirate and I am not uploading to offer it anyone else.

When I buy a DVD, I want transportability. MacX DVD Ripper Pro takes care of that and is updated for the latest 2011 schemes and roadblocks that the studios try to throw at us. You get an error message you don’t have enough disc space even though you have hundreds of GB’s left on your HHD or the disc takes 20-minutes and is still not mounted. As some of you might’ve stumbled upon, most of the movie studios have updated their DVD “protection” scheme to create problems with many other DVD copying & converting software.
