If you want to watch DVD movies on iPod, iPhone, Zune, PSP, BlackBerry, etc or convert DVD to video formats such as AVI, 3GP, WMV, MP4, this tutorial may help you out.

The software you need is Clone2Go DVD Ripper.
Free download

Unlike other DVD rippers, Clone2Go DVD Ripper combines the following features into one single program:

1. Rip DVD to video/audio
2. Convert video to video/audio
3. Download YouTube/Google video

However, in the following guide, I'd like to focus on the first feature: rip DVD to video/audio format using Clone2Go DVD Ripper. Let's take a look at how it performs:

1. Click the "Open DVD" button to load the DVD movie. Alternatively, you can click "File -> Open DVD..." to import the DVD movie. After the DVD is imported, there will be a list of DVD chapters/titles showing in the program.

2. Extend the "Profile" category to select an output format. For example, if you want to watch DVD on your iPod Touch, you can choose "iPod touch MPEG-4" as the output format.

3. Click the "Start Encode" button to start to convert DVD movie to AVI, WMV, 3GP, MP4, FLV, SWF, MPG, MOV video file or for your mobile player.

The steps are quite simple, however, there are several tips we can take a look at while using this DVD ripper to rip DVD to iPod, iPhone, Zune, PSP, BlackBerry, AVI, 3GP, WMV, MP4, etc.

Tip 1. Merge all DVD chapters/titles into one file

Click the "Options" button on the main interface. In the pop-up dialog, navigate to "DVD" and tick "Do not separate a DVD video disc as titles". You will get a whole DVD movie rather than separate files.

Tip 2. Customize profile for the output

If you want to customize the output video, you can click the "Video Options" and "Audio Options" buttons below the "Profile" category. There you can set video resolution, frame rate, bit rate, video codec, etc.

Tip 3. Specify the output folder

Click the "Options" button on the main interface. In the "General" tab, you can specify the folder for the output file. For your convenience, the output file is easily available by clicking the "Folder" botton in the main interface after the encoding process.

Tip 4. Trim the DVD

If you don't need the whole DVD movie, you can use the "Trim" function to get the exact clip from the movie.
