iTunes enables you to import and watch videos directly on your PC, but it doesn’t include a feature for downloading content from a DVD. To help your easily add DVD movies to your iTunes library, you have to get aid of a DVD ripping applicaion at first to help you rip DVD to iTunes compatible videos before transferring them to your iPhone, iPad, iPod, or stream to Apple TV etc. for playback. 

   
The process of extracting audio and video from a DVD is commonly referred to as “ripping.” Ripping also includes the process of encoding, which converts the DVD content to a specific digital file format, such as MP4. Here, the best program I can recommend is Pavube DVDAid- the Best DVD Ripping software program, which can help you rip DVD to iTunes supported video formats quickly and easily and with good video quality. 

Besides that, you can crop the black bars, add special video effects, split or merge videos, etc. as you like with the built-in editor. Just get it and rip DVD to iTunes supported videos for playback on your iPad Air, iPad Mini 2, iPhone 5S, iPhone SC, iPod touch, etc. in just a few mouse clicks!

How to Watch DVD Videos on iPhone, iPad, iPod via iTunes

Part 1: Convert DVD to iTunes 

Step 1. Run DVD to iTunes Converter; load DVD movies

Click the disc button to browse and import DVD disc from ROM, or load the ISO/IFO files that you want to convert for viewing on Apple iOS-based devices. 
 

 
Pavtube DVDAid will detect and list the main title (the full length of this movie with all the chapters) and check it by default. So just keep it untouched and let’s move on to Step 2.

Step 2. Choose export format

You can click the dropdown menu between “Format” and “Settings”, you will see many presets sorted of different device models and programs. Move your cursor over the left column to locate your device model/manufacturer, or you can try the small search box on the bottom right corner.
 

 
For example, if you own an iPhone, iPad, iPod, just choose the best profile from iPad/iPhone/iPod column.

Step 3. Adjust specs or edit video before conversion (Optional)

Click “Settings” button to configure target file quality. After entering “Profile Settings” panel, you are allowed to adjust video and audio parameters such as bit rate, frame rate, sample rate, etc..

If you prefer a much better video quality and don’t mind the output file size, you can rise the video bit rate higher than 1500. Generally speaking, the higher video bit rate will result in the larger output file size, and vice versa.
 

 
Step 4. Start conversion

Now hit the big red “Convert” to start converting DVD movies to MP4 with best settings for playback on different idevices.

After the conversion, you can get the converted DVD rips in *.mp4 format by clicking the “Open” or “Open output folder” icon.
