Question: I have an iPhone. I use my iPhone for calls, texting, email, music listening and some surfing the net. Now I’m looking for the right tool to rip DVDs to an mp4 file for playback on my iPhone. BTW, do you know anything can make these movies into one playable DVD-disc for myself and for my friends that can be played on any DVD-player? Thank you!
The reason I write this guide is I was in the same dilemma few months ago before I find Pavtube DVD Ripper for Mac – rip DVDs to different files, above all to mp4-files, and DVD Creator for Mac – the best DVD Burning tool on Mac I ever used to burn videos to a playable DVD-disc for playing on any DVD-player.
Because I already had Pavtube DVD Creator for Mac and it seemed like a good idea to get a DVD Ripper for Mac to combine the two programmes so they - as to speak - could communicate seamlessly, which they also did and do to my satisfaction. I find them at App Store and then on Pavtube website. I have used many other similar softwares but Pavtube seems to be the best for me.
First of all, let’s talk about ripping DVD movies to MP4 for playing on Mac.
