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.

1. Launch iTunes 11, add the movie video file to your iTunes library, create versions optimized for your device using the Advanced menu.
2. Click "Add to File" under "File" and browse and add the converted DVD video to your iTunes library. iTunes 11 will auto classify it in Movies category. You can play it directly on iTunes.
