MP4 is almost the most popular media format among competitors and it is supported by almost all portable devices, such as iPod, iPhone, PSP, and Zune etc. To extend your enjoyment and to realize watch movies without worries of carrying disks around, you can choose a DVD to MP4 converter. Remember that, this kind of software is only intended for personal convenience and individual entertainment, any case of using this kind of software in a commercial is illegal and prohibited.
MP4 is a container format and it has many presentations, so you need to pay much attention on the output file types or the profile settings, make sure that you have got plenty of profiles of MP4 format. You don’t need bother to adjust the resolution or bitrate with additional application. Being able to customize the output video through adjusting the brightness, contrast, trim your favorite part, crop the image and even allows you to split the video to several ones or merge several videos into one would be a plus. I would recommend you to try Pavtube DVD Ripper, and it boasts wide range of profiles and allows customization.

1. Add DVD videos and Load the Entire video and the title through clicking the button of “Load DVD” and “Load IFO” respectively.

2. Choose an output format and do advanced settings on the profile you have selected if you choose. You can adjust the video codecs, bitrate, resolutions and sample rate etc.

3. Change subtitle, audio track, and angle.
If the DVD movie includes subtitle and audio track with more than one language, you can click on the option box to choose the language you want to show on the video. You can preview the effect immediately, after changing the subtitle/audio track. If the DVD movie has been recorded with different angles, you can choose one angle to enjoy.
