Best DVD to MP4 Converter

A painless way to rip DVD to MP4 and transfer to your iPod, Zen, Zune or Archos player.

Playing your DVD library on your iPod, Creative Zen, Microsoft Zune or Archos players has always been a tricky subject. The process can be painful, with the current tools, converting the DVD to an appropriate format (ripping), then transferring it to the target system.

The two most difficult parts of the process are the initial ripping from DVD to MP4 format, or converting the VOB files. Not to mention the fact that different pmlayers supprt different file formats – from DivX and XVID, WMV and MP4 to audio formats such as MP3, AAC and M4A.

With and all in one solution, such as the iSofter DVD to MP4 Converter, there is no need to separate the process down into the capture, convert, compress and create steps. It is a step away from having to know about the formats; click a button, set some options, and the software will rip the DVD, create an appropriate file and tailor it to the player.

Part of the issue of converting DVD to MP4 has always been in the time taken to actually:

• Extract the DVD data
• Convert to the right format
• Compress and format for the player
• Upload the result

This can be time-consuming, even if you know what you are doing. The iSofter DVD to MP4 Converter is faster than other products on the market, and certainly faster than doing the ripping and converting manually. There is no time wasted opening and closing applications, checking file sizes, and so on.

A bonus with this package is that there are a set of optimized profiles for different devices. Each one is chosen to give the best:

• Quality
• Screen size
• Compression
• Audio options

All portable vide players are different, and these flexible setting with automatic detection facilities are the perfect complement to a good DVD ripper. They adjust the image to get the best quality for the device, with the smallest file size so as not to waste space.

The iSofter DVD to MP4 Converter is cheaper and more complete than the competition, without some of the advanced features which might have been available, but which only complicate the tool. You get something that works, out of the box, with no superfluous advanced features.

The Main DVD to MP4 Interface

One feature that has been added, however, is the support for external codecs, which guarantees that it can be used with future players. The setup of external codecs can be slightly involved, but once it is done, the one click operation ensures that the software will continue to be useful even after the current generation of players have been superceded.
