I want to convert DVD to MP4. I’ve been trying to use VLC to convert DVD to MP4, but it doesn’t do anything. I downloaded 4 other software programs that were totally bogus. I have the same short film on YouTube but converting from YouTube to MP4 looks like shit. This is a film I made a few years ago and I would like to be able to save it to an mp4.
Searching a lot, I tried Handbrake. Handbrake is an open-source and free transcoder application that allows converting DVDs into a number of formats like MP4, AVI, MKV, and others.
Steps for Handbrake DVD to MP4 conversion:
Step 1: Download, install and launch the Handbrake application on your system.
Step 2: Insert the DVD that you want to convert into your PC. Hit on the icon saying Source and then select the DVD drive option.
Step 3: Select Title and Chapters for the DVD files. The main title for the source is selected by default in case of non-commercial DVDs. Hit Browse to select the location where you want the converted file to be saved.
Step 4: Choose MP4 as output format. You can also select other file parameters like the quality of the video, bitrate, settings, audio track, and others.
Step 5: Finally, hit Start to proceed with the conversion process. The progress bar at the application will show the speed of conversion.
The steps for windows and ubuntu convert DVDs to MP4 are almost the same.
Drawbacks of HandBrake Converting DVD to MP4:
●It does not allow converting protected and commercial DVDs.
●The interface is complicated to understand and use.
●A lot of users complain about compatibility issues while working with the application on Mac Mojave and other versions.
●DVDs can be converted to a limited number of formats.
Digging further, Compared to VLC, Handbrake, I think DumboFab DVD Ripper is much more professional in DVD ripping. The main thing of appreciation about this DVD Ripper is that we don’t need to worry about the quality loss in overall transformation process.
