Ever since its launch, iPhone has turned into the new hype. Everybody on the Internet talked about it, Apple fans (and not only) were hysteric about it. If you have an iPhone, iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S, you know what wonders those little machines perform supporting music, video and pictures. What could be better than pulling out your iPhone to watch a few clips from your favorite DVD movie when you’re bored on the road or if you have extra time between classes? Mac DVD to iPhone software will help you rip DVD to iPhone-ready video on Mac OS for enjoying entertainment on-the-go.
If you're looking for easiest solution to handle the job on Mac OS X Lion, with no spyware inside the application, iFunia DVD to iPhone Converter for Mac comes as a good choice. Just like its name suggests, it is perfectly designed to aid you in your DVD ripping and converting needs in order to make a movie viewable on an iPhone or iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S.
Ease of Use
A blue interface with three easy steps neatly arranged in plain view. Everything is so straightforward that an average user won't need to peek into the help file not even once. There are three possibilities for importing the DVD-Video into iFunia and these cover loading it from the DVD disk(automatically load and display the movie name if you insert DVD disk before running the program), from a specific folder or import IFO files.
Features Set
Working with the output formats is easy as you benefit from a set of predefined iPhone profiles that do not leave room for error. And given that you can set ouput parameters for resolution, frame rate, kbps (for both video and audio) as well as the audio sample rate (I wouldn't recommend that as the default choices are properly balanced for a great result).
Once the DVD is loaded iFunia DVD to iPhone Converter for Mac will show all the chapters and titles available and let you decide on what to select for ripping. Among the benefits of the software there is the fact that it lets you choose the subtitle (if available) and audio track (if there is more than one).
In the right hand part there is a video player that can play the selected chapter or title of the movie. The basic controls it features include only stop, play and pause, but the progress bar doubles as a seek bar so it is easy to find a specific scene or part of the video. Taking snapshots is part of the embedded video player's options offering a choice for two picture formats to save it into: BMP or JPG.
What iFunia DVD to iPhone Converter for Mac can do for your DVD-hungry self is not limited simply to ripping DVD to the iPhone-playable one. The app can also help you trim down the movies and convert only what you deem most interesting as well as cropping video to remove black bars of the movie. More than this, you can personalize the video with text or image(like logo) watermark.
iFunia DVD to iPhone Converter for Mac sounds all joy up to here, and it's no hard work from now on either. With the operation running you will be given time estimation for completion so that you know how long it is going to take.
Finishing the job does not take long with iFunia DVD to iPhone Converter for Mac, but it is not the fastest, either. Also, if you want the task done when you sleep or tea-break, simply tick "Shut down when done" check box.
The Good
The interface and the ease of use of the application are the first things you see the moment you launch the software. Everything is neatly organized and three easy steps are showed in plain view.
Video quality in the output file is just great. The list of editing options is not expansive but gives the possibility to adjust brightness, contrast volume of the movie as well as crop the image and trim the video to your favorite scene.
The Bad
Faster time when processing the file would be nice to have. It also would be nice to have an option to open iTunes when the procedure finishes, to make it easier for the user to copy the file to the Apple device.
Conclusion
iFunia DVD to iPhone Converter for Mac proves to be a great solution for DVD ripping to iPhone devices providing you an easy-to-work-with interface, great quality of the output result, access to all the components of the DVD movie (subtitles, audio tracks, titles, chapters) and a simple set of video-editing tools. It does not offer amazing processing speeds, but used on an average system iFunia DVD to iPhone Converter will deliver great video quality and fast conversion time.
