How do I convert my DVD to digital file to upload it to Cinesouq?
There are a few free software that allow you to do so, the one we like and it seems the easiest to use is:

bitRipper is FREE DVD to AVI software that allows you to back-up your DVD's as AVI files on the hard drive. It can be used for one-click ripping as good as for advanced modes. You are free to choose whether to use default configuration values or to set them manually. There are all necessary settings available:

  • Video and audio codecs configuration
  • Video resolution and aspect ratio
  • Sound track language and sound value normalization
  • Variety of actions to be performed after the copying process is completed
  • Includes 3rd party decryption module for CSS protected DVDs

bitRipper does not require gigabytes of space to copy all DVD content to the hard drive before converting to AVI. It converts video on-the-fly, copying data and writing it to AVI file at the same time.

Commercial product quality

When bitRipper was a commercial application, we constantly worked to improve it. So now, when it became free, you can be sure that you get a commercial quality product at no cost. Here is the list of the most important updates and added features since the first version was released:

  • Ability to control the ripping process system priority
  • Internal video bitrate calculator to fine-tune the compression level
  • Authorization support for protected discs
  • Episodical discs support (multiple DVD tracks containing multiple parts)
  • Support of the most of video export formats including AVI, MPEG, DivX
  • Reduced installation package, maximized stability and reliablity

Quick start

With bitRipper the start will be really quick. All you have to do is:

  • Put the DVD into your DVD drive
  • Start bitRipper
  • Choose source DVD drive (if bitRipper didn’t guess)
  • Specify the output file path and name (if you’re not satisfied with the default value)
  • Click Start ripping...

That's it. Nothing more to do. bitRipper will inform you when the job is done.

Additional software recommended

bitRipper uses audio and video codec modules installed on your system. The more codecs are installed, the more compressing methods are available to choose from. We recommend that you download and install one of popular codec packs. Most of them are absolutely free. The one we recommend to use is K-Lite Codec Pack. It is 100% free and available for download at http://www.k-litecodecpack.com/


Another software to use:

MPEG Streamclip is a powerful free video converter, player, editor for Mac and Windows. It can play many movie files, not only MPEGs; it can convert MPEG files between muxed/demuxed formats for authoring; it can encode movies to many formats, including iPod; it can cut, trim and join movies.

You can use MPEG Streamclip to open and play most movie formats including MPEG files or transport streams; edit them with Cut, Copy, Paste, and Trim; set In/Out points and convert them into muxed or demuxed files, or export them to QuickTime, AVI, DV and MPEG-4 files with more than professional quality, so you can easily import them in a DVD authoring tool, and use them with many other applications or devices.

Supported input formats: MPEG, VOB, PS, M2P, MOD, VRO, DAT, MOV, DV, AVI, MP4, TS, M2T, MMV, REC, VID, AVR, M2V, M1V, MPV, AIFF, M1A, MP2, MPA, AC3, ...
