Have you ever been fed up with the slow ripping speed by the DVD Ripper you are using? You would never expect to spend longer time on ripping than the duration of the time, would you? There are ways to speed up DVD Ripping, for example, to rip DVD directly from DVD Rom rather than copying it to Hard Disk or to choose XVID movie rather than DIVX movie, or to install API layer etc. There, after all, are external elements. The most important thing is the DVD Ripper itself. This is philosophical truth.

Today I am going to show you how to rip DVD fast with Pavtube DVD Ripper 2.0, which is the latest version. This program, itself, is a fast one, and can rip DVD with supreme fast speed and there are also some skills to be faster. And don’t worry about the output video quality. The fast ripping speed does not degrade output video quality at all.

First, if you want to speed up DVD Ripping, you can choose to backup DVDs to your hard disk firstly and this means you need to decrypt the files in advance. In this way, you can set the max process and rip up to three files at once. And thus the ripping time would be shorter.

Second, if you have DVD movie with interactive games and menu tiles, ignore those chapter or title info since even if you select them, you can not output game or menus that is available to use. And chances are these chapter or tiles takes quite a lot of time to convert to video.
Take the DVD movie of Garfield for example, you can choose the main movie to convert only.

Third, Pavtube DVD Ripper provides features of trimming the video as well as splitting and merging. Therefore you can select the titles or chapters that you want to convert to video, rather than convert the entire movie. Or you can just trim the movie by cutting the ads and cast, to shorten the movie and thus to save time on ripping. You can first rip the first hour of the DVD movie and watch it first and then trim the rest of the movie and rip while enjoying first hour.

One of my friends tries to put a movie from one of my DVD's to my newly acquired 80 iPod Video. He is using DVD Fab Platinum 3.0.5.0.It's converts without any error messages but only half the movie. The file is half the size that what was showing on the screen and progress stops at 52 %.
I suppose this maybe the problem that app cannot read correct data from DVD so conversion finished in half of the movie, I suggest trying to convert other titles in this DVD or try to use other profile in "Generic" or "PSP" to convert this title and see the result.

If this does not work, look at the DVD in the Customize mode and see if the main movie is not perhaps broken up into two titles. The MPEG 4 modes will only encode ONE title at a time. If the DVD is structured so that the second half of the movie is in another title, it would produce the result you are seeing. There is a way around it if this is the problem.

DVDFab has a few issues with the iPod format and decryption.

Try the following;
1. Get yourself a copy of DVD Decrypter. If you are unable to find it, get Pavtube DVD Ripper from Pavtube DVD Ripper - Professional DVD Ripper and Convert DVD to iPod/iPhone and choose DVD VOB format to backup your DVD movie on your hard drive.
2. Try converting the DVD again. This way, you chose to remove the CSS protection first and then convert DVD to iPod Video again.
You may need to copy the main movie only if it fails.
I brought this program to do the same thing but have ended up using other programs after having too many problems. Nice concept in DVDFab iPod conversion. If you find you iPod battery drains quickly, repack the files with Apple QuickTime Pro. You will have to register QuickTime to have this option.

All these method sounds fussy and complicated and there is no way to trouble yourself so much at all. A smart DVD to iPod Converter is enough to help you out and enables you convert DVD to iPod immediately.

All you need to do is to import the DVD movie to the program, choose output format and hit the button of “Convert” to convert the movie. What’s more, Pavtube DVD to iPod Converter is 50% discounted and it costs $14.5. Though most people prefer freeware if there is one, this DVD to iPod Converter is really a value.

Where you are, holding the latest iPod Nano, or iPod Touch to enjoy hit music or movies, would just turn you to be the focus of crowd! Enjoy DVD movies or hit MV seems to be the most in way to enjoy audio/video playback, and DVD watching is no longer limited by time and place, no need to carry those bundles of DVD disk anywhere you go. All these owe to DVD Ripping software which can backup DVD to hard disk on PC or convert it to iPod video.

But do you know how to enjoy the DVD movies with a DVD Ripper to the fullest? Here I have collected seven tips that iPod fans must pay attention while converting DVD to iPod videos, and want to share them with all iPod fans. If you have any other skills, please share it too.

First, you must choose a good DVD Ripper and this is the most important factor. You’d better choose one which can rip not only fast and smoothly but also output DVD videos of high quality. For this reason, I recommend you to try Pavtube DVD Ripper, which is upgraded lately.

Second, you must choose a DVD Ripper with plenty of profiles if you are not a professional. DVD Ripper with considerate profiles would save you a lot of time and efforts. You don’t need to do many detailed settings.

Third, before you start converting DVD to your iPod, you must have a clear idea which type of your iPod belongs to and what are the specs, including, supported audio/video, aspect ratio, resolution and bitrate etc.

Fourth, make sure that the output video is compatible with your iPod, in other words, you must make sure that your output video is encoded in the way that your iPod accepts. Generally, you must be sure that you need to convert your DVD to video with MPEG-4 codecs and H.264 codecs.

Fifth, I suggest you to buy an iPod with larger capacity, in case that the output video has enough space. Usually a movie of 120 minutes takes about 1 or 1.5 GB if it is converted to MP4 file. If you choose a higher bitrate, or higher resolution, it would be larger. And iPod users would rarely put only one movie into the big toy of iPod. Songs, photos also takes up space. So choose an iPod with enough space according to your need, or if you cannot afford an 8GB iPod, you’d better set the parameters of output video relatively lower.

Sixth, to enjoy the movie in a free way, you can split the movie into different chapters and convert your favorite parts only. What’s more, you can merge several different chapters into one and convert them into one video. This is simply a movie clips by and for yourself. Pavtube DVD Ripper realized so and performs perfectly.

Want to enjoy magic Harry Porter series on your mobile phone when you are traveling?

Third, if you choose, you can edit DVD video in the way of cropping image, trimming the video and adjusting effects, flipping the video and cutting of black edges, and adjusting the volume etc.

Fourth, you can also split the DVD movie to different parts and choose some to merge to one video. In other words, you can convert part of the DVD Movie to 3GP/3GP2 video rather than converting the entire DVD.

Fifth, hit the big “Convert” button to start converting after you have finished all the settings. It takes about an hour to finish the converting depending on how long you convert the movie.
Now that you have got the exported 3GP/3GP2 video, and the rest of the work is to transfer the video to your mobile phone. Simply, you just need a USB cable to connect your computer and your mobile phone, or you can turn on Bluetooth of your computer and your mobile phone to transfer the videos on your computer to your mobile phone through Bluetooth.

PSP is a synonym of fashion and young as well as being in. If you are a master game player, how can you go with this cool software?
Besides, you can enjoy DVD movies with PSP when you are traveling on a flight, boat, or subway, etc. As you know, PSP boasts a large and comfortable screen, which provides quite a convenience for movie watching.
There are some tips you need to pay attention when you convert DVD to PSP video.
First, though PSP has a screen resolution of 480*227, actually, you can only playback video with resolution of 368*208. So you must pay attention when you are setting the resolutions and aspect ratio. Or you just cannot play the converted video at all.
Second, choose a good DVD ripper. What, you may wonder, could be a good DVD Ripper? A good DVD Ripper should have fast DVD ripping speed while outputting video of excellent quality. Besides, a good DVD ripper should have enough profiles which will save users a lot of time and efforts on format settings, especially convenient for users who are not professionals. For the three reasons above, I recommend you to try Pavtube DVD Ripper. You are going to lose nothing to have a try. I bet you will get maximum satisfaction from recently updated Pavtube DVD Ripper.


Third, when you are transferring files from your PC to PSP, you’d better try USB cable rather than card reader. Though USB Cable transferring is a little bit of slow, data will not lost or damage, By contrast, card reader is convenient and fast, but the problem is that card reader will often cause data damage or loss with frequent plug in and out.

Fourth, you better not to change the frame rate much. Though PSP support frame rate up to 30fps, I suggest you keep the frame rate untouched, and use the default frame rate of the movie. Otherwise, you may output audio/video out of sync.

Fifth, PSP supports picture with extension of THM, if you want to capture some pictures when previewing DVD movie. You need to make sure the program supports snapshot in THM format. Pavtube provides THM format pictures and users can get THM picture of high quality with the preference setting. In addition, you can cut off the black edges if you choose.

Sixth, if you need to convert DVD to PSP only, you can choose a DVD to PSP converter instead of a DVD Ripper.

Converting DVD movies to PSP can help you get rid of bunches of disks and you can still enjoy the DVD movies but without limits on time and space.
