How to get my video file smaller with Leawo DVD Ripper?
Leawo DVD Ripper is a suitable tool to rip DVD movie to all kinds of videos while it can help you adjust the videos size to your content, say smaller file for space saving. Although it involves the knowledge on codec settings that matter in the task, it is nevertheless easy to learn, by following a step by step guide below, how to reduce the size of your DVD movies with Leawo DVD Ripper.
Step 1, load the DVD movie into Leawo DVD Ripper for processing. After import, you will see numbers of titles and chapters listed in order. Select all to get a full length output or otherwise partial output by your wish.
Step 2, select a profile for the DVD conversion output. More than 100 profiles, with reference to common video formats and particular terminal formats, are in distinct order. You may judge on the file extension and the description for one that matches your need.
Step 3, assuming you have assigned a XviD profile, then click “Settings” to open codec settings panel. There is a full list of codec settings, dividing into two parts, for you to make distinct differences.
Video Codec: it is to determine which arithmetic to use in encoding the video. If you have ever uploaded videos to YouTube, you should be acquainted with YouTube’s recommendations on uploaded video format, which are H.264, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4. Leawo DVD Ripper has many codec plugins to cover most picky demands.
Quality: it specifies how much the video quality is to preserve after conversion. High quality usually brings good details on screen with the only holdback of large file size. It is recommended for video backup or broadcasting. When you want to view the video on small screen or memory-tight terminals, low quality is the best choice.
Bit Rate: it describes the bits per second in the video stream, reflects the video quality and video size in number form.
Video Size: namely the actual resolution of the video display in full size. Common DVD video size is 720*480, or 480p.
Frame Rate: it gives the idea of the frames per second in the video stream. A smooth video usually adapts a frame rate higher than 24. If the video contains mostly intense shots, a higher frame rate is required. Otherwise, you can lower the frame rate and reduce redundant frames in a slow motion video.
Aspect Ratio: it affects the display style on your player. 4:3 is preferred aspect ratio for TV or standard CRT screen, while 16:9 is often favored by wide screen LCD screen.
Audio Codec: same to video codec, except it is dedicated to audio. A moderate choice is MP3 for its widespread popularity around cyberspace. AAC features a better performance in a smaller file size, preferred on memory-tight cell phones or PMPs. AMR is the best choice for carrying voice because of its slim body, but not suitable for music enjoyment.
Quality: same as video.
Bit Rate: same as video. Usually a video file would contain both video stream and audio stream, so the total bit rate will be the sum of video bit rate and audio bit rate.
Sample Rate: a factor that determines the details of audio. It goes the same as Frame Rate.
Channels: an audio stream can be single channel (mono), double channels (stereo) or even 5.1 channels (surrounding). It can be easily determined by how many sub sound boxes you have in your audio system.
Important rules to reduce the size on output:
1. use high compressing codec such as H.264 to convert your movie. The output file size is smaller while the quality is better.
2. do not apply too high settings on bit rate and sample rate. It will increase the output file size and obviously not in the direction to reduce it. A modest advice is to use the default settings to reach the best balance between video quality and file size.
3. do not use overwhelming frame rate. 24 fps can well support a smooth movie playback while more means waste of frames and space.
Now you should get a picture of how the codec settings work and are ready to start conversion. Leawo DVD Ripper provides comfortable experience during conversion, such as batch converting and after done actions, brings the task easier and faster to its goal.
As a professional DVD to any video converter, Leawo DVD Ripper provides efficient and productive solution for users. Anyone seeking an all-in-one converting solution would be remiss to not check it out.
How to crop video for my players?
Some DVD movies are accompanied with black margins, so that they can be comfortably displayed on standard screens without distortion. However, as most PC media players can instantaneously fill empty space with black during video playback, such preset black margins become useless and are in an appeal to be removed. Here we utilize Leawo DVD Ripper to settle this issue.
Open Leawo DVD Ripper and load the DVD resource for cropping.
Then select one of the titles or chapters and click on the Customize button to reveal the video edit panel. The panel packs in 3 video edit functions: Effect, Trim and Crop. The Crop feature is easily found among them.
There are three ways to crop the videos on the panel.
1. Use the Letter Box profile. It provides several profiles to easily pinpoint the black margins in common cases.
2. Adjust the parameters of Top, Left, Right, Bottom to get an accurate crop shape.
3. Most straightforward is to tell apart the black margins with your naked eye and directly resize the frame on the preview window, representing the output video size.
The modification will be reflected on Crop Info telling the cropped video size and aspect ratio. When you need to crop the video to match your PMP’s screen, say 320*240, keeping an eye on this information is really helpful.
After having the video cropped, we have to generate a new video file with this modification. Leawo DVD Ripper embraces more than 100 output profiles you can choose from, ranging from the popular formats to the fashionable portable players.
There you have successfully cropped the DVD movie with black margins thoroughly removed. Leawo DVD Ripper can be a very handy tool in ripping DVD, converting DVD to any other format, and cropping their black margins, because it is a professional DVD ripper all right.

How to convert DVD to MPEG4?
Leawo DVD Ripper provides a conceptual ready-to-go interface, on which the immediate settings are well aligned and the pertinent information is clearly shown.
Firstly, load a DVD resource in preparation for the conversion.
It is possible to load DVD resource either from a DVD disc or a folder on your hard disk. When the loading process is complete, a list of DVD video content is shown by titles and chapters. This information is contained in a file by an extension of .inf, so if you don’t see the list, it is probably the inf file is missing or corrupted.

You can make selections of whether to convert the chapters. A preview of the video can be triggered by double clicking on the file name. It is a very intuitive way to fix any mistakenly import. Now it leads to the settings as are explained below:
Subtitle: if the movie is multiple-language available, you can select one to combine in the converted video.

You can deal with several types of MPEG4 conversion whether the quality is lossy or lossless. If you have devices that support the playback of MPEG4, you may find a corresponding profile in the library directly set you free from further settings in line with the specifications of your device.
Video quality and Audio quality: this is the most intuitive way to determine the output quality. They are graded in three levels each: high, medium and low. Generally, the high level will generate high output quality but result in large file and high requirement for playback on CPU computing ability. Simply pick a choice that would best match your need.
Finally, give it one click on the Start button to begin the DVD to MPEG4 conversion. Believe it or not, it takes only a few minutes to let you convert your DVD to MPEG4 videos. Much easier than before. And beyond that, Leawo DVD Ripper has some helpful tricks for you.

‘Potter’ fans urge drivers to ‘Stop Voldemort’
Fans of the Harry Potter franchise are suspected of vandalising a series of traffic stop signs in the small suburb of Wauwatosa, Milwaukee.
Police have discovered that several signs have had the word ‘Voldemort’ added in permanent black marker so that they now read ‘Stop Voldemort’ in reference to the fantasy film’s main villain.
“Is it the crime of the century? No. But the problem is it’s starting to add up,” patrol specialist Paul Liest told the reporters.
It is thought that around 80 signs have been vandalised in the city, although similar markings have also been spotted across the US and in England.
Leist added: “You couldn’t find a more important sign to vandalise. It’s imperative people can read a stop sign. We’d like to see this come to an end. Besides we’ve got more important things to attend to.”
Speaking to the Chicago Tribune, Captain Jeff Sutter admitted that officers had only realised what the vandalism meant when one policeman’s young son came forward to enlighten them.
“It took a seven-year old to tell us what [the graffiti] was,” he explained. “We thought it was just some type of new tagger.”
Residents have been offered cash rewards for any tips that lead to an arrest. It is estimated that each sign will cost $80 to replace.
