Convert DVD to mp4 for watching on iPad with multi-track or only one audio track

Look for DVD to multi-track/one-track video solution? Pavtube ByteCopy will help you rip DVD to multi-track mp4 or standard mp4 for iPad streaming via icloud with few clicks.

Question: Since I’ve seen how easy and fast it is to convert a DVD (already stored in my HD) into a single mp4 file, I’ve thought about converting all my dvd’s into mp4’s then I can directly stream them onto all my iPad via icloud. But what is important (to me) is to be able to rip some DVDs keeping at least two audio tracks in one conversion (ex: both English and French audio, or German, English and Spanish audio) and for some DVDs I only need one audio track. With VLC, I would then be able to select which audio track to hear, if any.

However, DVDFab only supports one audio track; FairUse only supports one subtitle track; AutoGK does not seem to do h.264 at all and HandBrake seems to be limited to a single subtitle track as well. So I am wondering if there is a software (free or not) that can do that? Please note that I am quite new to DVD conversion and would prefer a software that's relatively easy to use, i.e. with simplified options or some sort of pre-validated presets. 


In fact, it is easy to archive DVD to mp4 container conversion with one track or multiple audio tracks preserved. The following short guide shows you how to convert a DVD to mp4 with multiple audio track as well as one audio track. 

Software Requirement: Pavtube ByteCopy/ByteCopy for Mac

With such a tough task, I had spent a lot of time searching online, tried several SWs - some ok but always something that does not quite to do what I need. Luckily, I finally got this Pavtube ByteCopy. Not all videos output from a multi-track DVD can keep the original video effect, intact audio tracks in different languages. 

It is a pro version Blu-ray/DVD ripping program, it's not only able to remove disc encryption and rip them to iPad readable format, but also keeps the original DVD/Blu-ray multiple audio tracks, so that you can free switch the language during playback. The mac version is ByteCopy for Mac.

Step 3. Adjust video & audio settings (optional) 

Click the "Settings" button to check all video & audio settings. By default it will check all the audio tracks (languages), so if you only need some of the languages, just check the unwanted ones. 

Btw, video size, bitrate and frame rate can all be changed if you are not satisfied with default settings. 

Don't forget to click OK to confirm all the changes. 

 

Step 4. Start conversion. 

Click the big red "Convert" to start converting DVDs to MP4 with multiple languages.
