Convert DVD to mp4 for watching on iPad with multi-track or only one audio track

Look for DVD to multi-track/one-track video solution? Pavtube ByteCopy will help you rip DVD to multi-track mp4 or standard mp4 for iPad streaming via icloud with few clicks.

Question: Since I’ve seen how easy and fast it is to convert a DVD (already stored in my HD) into a single mp4 file, I’ve thought about converting all my dvd’s into mp4’s then I can directly stream them onto all my iPad via icloud. But what is important (to me) is to be able to rip some DVDs keeping at least two audio tracks in one conversion (ex: both English and French audio, or German, English and Spanish audio) and for some DVDs I only need one audio track. With VLC, I would then be able to select which audio track to hear, if any.

However, DVDFab only supports one audio track; FairUse only supports one subtitle track; AutoGK does not seem to do h.264 at all and HandBrake seems to be limited to a single subtitle track as well. So I am wondering if there is a software (free or not) that can do that? Please note that I am quite new to DVD conversion and would prefer a software that's relatively easy to use, i.e. with simplified options or some sort of pre-validated presets. 

In fact, it is easy to archive DVD to mp4 container conversion with one track or multiple audio tracks preserved. The following short guide shows you how to convert a DVD to mp4 with multiple audio track as well as one audio track.

Convert M2TS with DTS for Playback on PS3 with AC3 5.1 Surround

This guide shows you how to convert an m2ts file (with DTS audio) to AVI/MP4 so that it can be played on the Playstation 3 with AC3 5.1 surround sound.

I'm watching M2TS through a HDTV on my PS3. All works fine except the M2TS files with DTS audio (I can see the video, but there is no sound). Then what's the problem? Any way to make my M2TS files with DTS audio playable on PS3 correctly?

In fact, M2TS files can also be played on Sony PlayStation 3 (Learn how to convert MKV to PS3 with tsMuxeR). However, DTS audio is basically higher quality than AC3, which can't be playable on the PS3.

Therefore, the DTS audio will need to be converted to AC3. This is a lossy conversion, but it is a very acceptable sacrifice considering AC3 can have a very high bitrate. Here with Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate, you can convert M2TS with DTS to playable format on PS3 much faster and easier-to-use than other similar tools with high quality AC3 5.1 audio. Besides, it integrates many presets for iPad 4, iPad Air, Amazon Fire Phone as well as the upcoming Nexus 8; many other presets waiting for you to pick up.

Here is how to encode M2TS with DTS audio to AC3 5.1 AVI/MP4 for playing on PS3

Please make sure the output and speaker setup support 5 channel audio which can be accomplished by using an optical out connection with a surround speaker system. 

1. Import source media files

Download, install and run Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate. Click “Add video” button to load your source MKV files into the program. The DTS to AC3 Converter is multi-task based and supports batch conversion, this means you can load in multiple video files to convert at one time.



2. Select output format

From the Format bar, navigate to “PSP/PS3” catalogue, and choose "PS3 Video(AC3 5.1)(*.avi)" which can directly output AC3 5.1 audio without settings.



P.S.

If you only want to get mp4 format, choose "PS3 Video(720p) MPEG-4(*.mp4)" or "PS3 Video(1080p) MPEG-4(*.mp4)" depending on your requirement.

Tip:
If you choose mp4 format, you need to change the settings from AAC Stereo to AC3  5.1.

Click “Settings” button, the “Profile Settings” windows pops up, on which you need to set the audio codec to ac3 and set audio channels to 5.1 Channels. This ensures your output videos encoded with ac3 and create 5.1 surround surrounds for PS3 playback.

Apart from changing audio codec and channels, you are also allowed to reset video resolution, video bit rate, frame rate, audio bit rate and sample rate on this window.



4. Start conversion

Click “Convert” button to start converting M2TS with DTS to MP4/AVI AC3 with 5.1 Channels. As soon as the conversion finished, you can click “Open” button to get the generated files with ease.

Now, you can transfer converted videos to PS3 via USB flash drive for smooth playback without any problem.

Note:

The PS3 has a filesize limitation. Files over 4GB cannot be played on the PS3's hard drive. Of course, files larger than 4GB can be played from a burned dual layer DVD or Blu-Ray. Alternatively,  you can click the split button on the main interface.

When the Video Split window pops up, tick off Enable > Split file size (MB), and either enter the desired maximum size of each file chunk or choose an appropriate size from the available drop down option. In my case I entered 3900 MB for each chunk of file. 4 GB is equal to 4,096 MB, so if you want your file size less than 4GB, just enter/choose the maximum size under 4,096 MB.



Click Ok and back to the main interface to click Convert. Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate will convert the source file to your desired format and split it into several files with your desired file size. Special function, so simple to use!

4K is the hottest buzz word in the tech world right now, and it's rewriting the rulebook when it comes to image quality. It affects not just the world of 4K TV and cinema, but also cameras and image capture, smartphones and tablets, computer monitors and PC games - practically anything that displays images or records video.

4K Ultra HD is a much more intimate viewing experience than Full HD. In many respects, the best way to view 4K is analogous to the way we view films in a cinema. Old style cinemas were shoe-box shaped and most patrons sat typically 3-5 screen heights away, because that was the most comfortable viewing distance.

However, it is also costly to achieve 4K Ultra HD, for the data amount of each frame is as big as 50MB. That is to say, the facilities of top configuration are required for both decoding, playing and editing a 4K Ultra HD video.

The optimal tool I prompt here is Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate. Just like the way it is dealing with 1080p HD videos, this all-in-one converting tool is surely in the support of converting 4K UHD videos in any formats faultlessly. As the best 4K Ultra HD Video Converter, it can 4K Ultra HD videos in MP4 (AVC coder) or other extension not only for playing on portable devices like iPad, iPhone, Galaxy Tablet, Surface Tablet, Kindle Fire HDX, but also for editing in Sony Vegas, Adobe Premiere Pro, Windows Movie Maker, Pinnacle Studio, Cyberlink Powerdirector, etc..

2. The trial version will create videos with PAVTUBE logo standing in the center of the output image. To bypass the watermark, you should purchase its full version.

Step 1. Follow the installation wizard to install the program onto your computer. After transferring 4K Ultra HD Video files to hard disk, run Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate. Click the "Add video" icon. button to import 4K UHD video to the program.



Step 2: Choose an output format on a smaller window of this 4K video converter which accords the format you want the output 4K Ultra HD video to become, be it AVI, MOV, MPEG, WMV, FLV, etc.



Step 3: Make any other personal settings you need and click the "Convert" button under the preview window, and the 4K Video Converter will start converting any 4K YouTube Ultra HD videos. When the conversion is finished, you enjoy the compressed 4K Ultra HD video easily.

P.S. Can 4K UHDTV play original HD videos? The answer is yes. The principle is almost similar to that of playing a standard video on an HD TV. 4K UHDTV is 2016p and 3840 pixels wide, having an aspect ratio of at least 16:9. 

Good News is that Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate allows you to change video resolution, as well as the aspect ratio, from 4:3 to 16:9, to faultlessly fit the 4K Ultra HD TV. After converting ,you can freely transfer the video to 4K UHDTV for watching by use of HDMI or the like. Now just have a try.
