DVD to Mobile

Many DVD to Mobile copy modes are available: Generic, iPod, PSP, Cell Phone, PVP, Zune, Xbox360 and more. Support for additional devices can be added manually using the Customize UI function.

Generic: Converts DVD titles to PC MPEG-4/DivX/XVID/H.264 AVI/MP4 files. It also supports all other devices which are not listed individually in the navigation bar. The bar lists certain devices by default but others can be added as described above.

DVD to Mobile also has a VOB Passthrough function you can find in Generic or add as a Device using Customize UI. It will produce a VOB file for use on some media servers and players (you can change the file suffix to MPG if necessary in Windows Explorer). This file can be one large file or split by size options (1,2,4 GB) or by chapter marks of the original DVD. The target drive must be NTFS for the larger file sizes to appear.

DVDFab comes with support for some devices that are not displayed in the navigation bar by default, you must select the ones you want. To make any of these devices( AppleTV, etc.) appear in the bar, select Customize UI in Common Settings, then select "DVD to Mobile" and click on the "New" button as shown below. The new devices will appear in the drop down selector. Further details can be found on the Customize UI page of this tutorial.

Common Features for Most DVD to Mobile Modes

New! DVDFab will automatically crop images that have black bars encoded on the sides or top of the picture. See the "Settings/Generic" page in this document for information on how to turn this feature off; the default is On. DVDFab will also automatically select select the screen size and aspect ratio for the conversion (there is no switch or checkbox for this function). The 'autosize' and 'autocrop' features will help users produce better output files in most cases.

A checkbox found on the Configure screen("Display only forced subpicture") will allow you to display only subtitles that have a forced start (like the translations in movies like The DaVinci Code).

You must select the main subpicture (English in the example above) that contains the forced subpics for the new checkbox to have any effect.

Also available is the option to split the output files by the chapter marks of the original disc (or by output file size in some modes).

This function will assign file names as specified and insert the chapter number in the filename in the format: Titlename.chapter01(02 etc.).filesuffix.
