How to convert your DVD collection to fit your iPhone

Ok everyone I know I mentioned this awhile back before my trip to Atlanta. So here it is. You'll have to download two (2) seperate downloads that I have provided links to. The following instructions are for the DVD DECRYPTOR program. Once you download this, just follow the steps below. What I did was create an iPhone folder to my desktop to move all my files into. Once you are done converting the movies into your iTunes account you can just delete the file from the folder.

After a few downloads and conversions this should become easier. I hope everyone finds this useful. If anybody has any questions feel free to email me.

Step 0 - Download Required Software
You should already have a copy of our iPhone video converter. If you do not, simply Download Videora iPhone Converter now. Next you will need a copy of DVD Decrypter, a popular DVD ripper prorgam.

You can download DVD Decrypter from here

Step 1
Place the DVD you want to rip your video from into your DVD drive.

Step 2
Launch the DVD Decrypter software.

Step 3
Go to the Mode menu and select IFO I mode. This will give you access to two new tabs; Input & Stream Processing.

Step 4
Go to the Tools menu, select Settings, go to the IFO tab, then under Options, change File Splitting to None and press OK.

Step 5
Go to the main screen and click the Stream Processing tab. Enable it and only select the first video listed. Note that home encoded movies do not support subtitles of any kind and that your file can only have one type of audio.

Step 6
Before you begin ripping your video, note the destination of the video file. This is where your raw DVD rip is going to go and it will be rather large in size. If you want to change the directory that DVD Decrypter will output to, click on the Browse button and navigate to the folder you want and press OK.

Now that you know where the movie file is going, click on the Decrypt button to start decrypting the DVD to your hard drive.

Once it is done, close DVD Decrypter. Expect a 4 GB to 6 GB movie to take about 12 to 18 minutes.

Step 7
Convert the file that you ripped using DVD Decrypter like you would any other video file in our video iPhone converter. It will be located exactly where you put it in Step 6.

Next you will have to open the VIDEORA iPhone program. Once you start this program it's pretty self-explanatory. It will actually guide you through each step. There are some features for the more advanced but I just stick with the preset options. Once the file is converted it will automatically import the movie into your iTunes account. Next you will have to sync your iPhone to your account and just transfer the movies.
