Processing Movies for iPhone/iPod Touch - mjgkramer - 01-16-2010 I have been successful putting some of my DVDs on my iPhone by ripping them with RipIt, DVD2One, etc and then formatting and compressing them using Roxio Crunch, with Crunch outputting the files into iTunes. A friend has asked me if there is a way to process the ripped files using one of the Apple apps, such as iTunes, QuickTime, or whatever, avoiding the need to buy an application to do it? Re: Processing Movies for iPhone/iPod Touch - Gareth - 01-16-2010 Apple apps, no. But Handbrake is free and will process the ripped files. You can also use Handbrake & VLC to rip the DVD's for free too, though I haven't tried that myself. Re: Processing Movies for iPhone/iPod Touch - mjgkramer - 01-16-2010 Thanks Gareth. I keep reading that Handbrake can be used to rip copy protected DVDs as long as VLC (how about Fairmount?) is installed but so far not found HB to be straightforward enough for casual use. What I need to find is a free app that is as easy to use and powerful as DVD2One. Re: Processing Movies for iPhone/iPod Touch - H1N1 - 01-16-2010 HB output to h.264 why fairmount? also iSquint' Re: Processing Movies for iPhone/iPod Touch - mjgkramer - 01-16-2010 DVD2One requires Fairmount to run before it will work. I think Fairmount does the same thing as VLC with respect to allowing copy protected DVDs to be ripped. Re: Processing Movies for iPhone/iPod Touch - Winston - 01-16-2010 The people who make Fairmount also make something called DVDRemaster, which looks like it does what you want. And Fairmount is apparently just a front-end which uses VLC. http://www.metakine.com/products/fairmount/ Free & open-source DVD decryption But DVDRemaster is $40, or $50 for the "Pro" version. http://www.metakine.com/products/dvdremaster/ Good luck. - Winston Re: Processing Movies for iPhone/iPod Touch - deckeda - 01-16-2010 If you've already got RipIt, keep using it. Handbrake via VLC will only be successful some of the time, whereas RipIt will be successful most of the time, and when it's not they want to know about it. Handbrake is dead-nuts easy to use. Point it towards your ripped title and it'll find the movie within it. Use one of the presets for your intended player and hit the go button. If you rip several titles and set them aside you can add each to a queue in Handbrake and let it go all night if necessary. But if you only use Handbrake/VLC you're stuck doing them one-at-a-time because your optical drive will be consumed during the entire process.

I use MTR but a lot of the more recent DVDs I've purchased (Disney) can't be ripped by MTR. Re: Processing Movies for iPhone/iPod Touch - lazydays - 01-16-2010 Handbrake is about as easy as it gets. You start the program, select your dvd, hit the ipod preset, add to queue, start. When it is complete you drag the resulting file to itunes.
