Does anybody have any thoughts on the best software for converting DVD to a format for the ipad i.e MP4 etc;

Handbrake is great for this.

I have lost count of the number of threads asking this.

Please use the search box.

But yes, Handbrake + VLC is good.

Handbrake can't get past all copy protection, so RipIt is a great program for getting movies onto your computer, which you can then encode with Handbrake.

Download handbreak
Use the Apple Tv settings
Rip
Then go into iTunes and make the movie for iPad settings

Some external cheap DVD drives also have no region lock.

Does handbreak work In windows?

I didn't think it was about region lock? I thought it was about encryption / copy protection.

I agree, it is getting annoying. DVD43 gets past the copy protection, that way you don't have to run two processes just to get one file

Well, Handbrake may be the easiest one and free to use, if you do not need any extra options.

However, I am stilling looking for the best way to add softtitle into m4v for iPad viewing......

What is the best way to save the subtitles of a DVD into .srt format on Mac?

Handbrake plus Subler has some problem when playing (not smooth if I turn on the subtitle). Any ideas?

Actually, besides Handbrake, the second option to you is using Leawo DVD to iPad Converter — powerful and easy to use. But it's not free and not so expensive also. Whatever...

Why on earth would you encode things twice? This is not the correct way IMHO.

handbrake now has a iPad preset
and i've never had any issues with subtitles using handbrake, are they not syncing or is the entire audio track off?

 

[zebedde]

Is it normal for handbrake to take almost 2.5hrs to convert 1 dvd to ipad mp4?

 

[Stefx73]

Faster processors will convert quicker.
2.5h seems a bit long, either it's a slow processor or you had other stuff running in the background.

 

[zebedde]

Processor Type: Intel Core 2 Duo 6600; Processor Speed: 2.4GHZ, it is slow Processor???

Shucks. I read the thread headline and thought "now this sounds like a way to afford an iPad". (It's early)

1. Check the data side the DVD. Clean if needed.
2. Are you trying to rip a BluRay on a DVD only drive?
3. Is the DVD upside down?
