Best solutions: Convert/Rip DVDs for Sony Xperia Z2/Z1 smartphones

Sony's Xperia Z1 came very close to being up there with the very best of smartphones in 2013, but was let down by a select few features that stopped it being truly great. Now we have the Xperia Z2 and with it, Sony appears to have addressed every major problem we had with the first generation Z1.
  
If you have some DVD movie collections and want to watch the DVD movies on Sony Xperia Z2/Z1, you’ll need toconvert DVD to Sony Xperia Z2/Z1 supported format first.



To get the work done, a 3rd-party software is needed. Most of you are likely familiar with the excellent Handbrake for ripping standard Def DVDs, however, it cannot yet decrypt the commercial DVD discs (ie: Disney and other animated movies) the way it can with regular DVDs, so you’ll need to add an intermediate step. Here Pavtube DVD Ripper is highly recommended to help you backup and rip DVD to MP4 videos to play on Sony Xperia Z2/Z1. 
  
Frankly, the program is very easy to use for editing and conversion. I’ve had success using it to convert DVDs to Sony Xperia Z2/Z1 playable format and I’ve found the quality to be excellent, and see no difference when compared to playing the discs themselves. The time it takes to convert in this software is almost half that in other.
