Step 1 : Install the DVD Conversion Program

Step 2 : Run the DVD Conversion Program

  • Put the DVD into your computer
  • The Joboshare Ripper Bundle Platinum comes with 2 programs: a DVD ripper and a video converter. Run the “Joboshare DVD Ripper Platinum” program via the desktop icon or the Windows “Start Menu”.
  • You’ll find a simple-to-use interface where you can browse for your DVD - select “Add DVD Folder” from the File menu or just click the “Open DVD” icon on the far left of the row of icons and select your DVD.
  • Class : The “Class” pull-down menu is used to select your device. For the greatest amount of choices, select “All Profiles”.
  • Profile : Choose your iPhone setting in the “Profile” pull-down menu. For example: for the latest iPhone, select the “iPhone MPEG-4 (.mp4)” setting. This will automatically give you a great-looking video and take the least amount of conversion time. You can also see the details of your chosen setting at the left-hand side: video size, bit rate, frame rate, sample rate, quality, etc. BTW - there is a very extensive list of devices and formats to choose from in the “Profile” menu.
  • Destination : “Destination” is used to select where you want your final video conversion to be placed on your computer. Hit the “Browse” button, choose where you want your final video conversion to be, then hit “OK”.
  • Title : The “Title” box near the top-right allows you to rename - title - your final video conversion.
  • Start Ripping : When you’re ready, hit the big red “Start Ripping” button on the right and go get a snack. A 90 minute DVD takes about 30 minutes to convert.

Step 3 : Transfer the Converted DVD Video to Your iPhone

  • Hook up your iPhone to your computer
  • Choose where you want your new DVD video to go - on your iPhone
  • Drag and drop your new DVD video onto your iPhone

Step 4 : Play the Converted DVD Video On Your iPhone

  • Show it to your friends and enjoy!
  • “Rinse & Repeat” to convert and transfer more DVDs to your iPhone
