How to Use Cucusoft iPhone Video Converter Suite

Though the iTunes store is a convenient place to obtain new movies for the iPhone, many people would also like the option to view the movies they already have in their collection. The Cucusoft iPhone Video Converter Suite is a great way to convert almost any video from a DVD or from your PC to a format that is compatible with the iPhone. This article will discuss the basic procedures for using the Cucusoft iPhone DVD Video Converter and the Cucusoft iPhone Video Converter, which are the two pieces of software included in the suite.

Things You'll Need

• DVD or PC video file
• Cucusoft iPhone Video Converter Suite
• iPhone
• iTunes software

Instructions

Using the Cucusoft iPhone DVD Converter

1. Install and run the DVD Converter package from Cucusoft. The main program window will open, which contains the basic controls for converting your DVD to an iPhone-compatible video file.

2. Choose the desired options for the video conversion from the four drop-down menus on the right side of the window. The “Profile” box determines the output format of the file, which directly correlates to the size and the quality of the converted video. The “Crop” and “Resize” menus allow you to format the video for the best viewing experience on your iPhone. Finally, the “Output” menu determines where on your computer the converted file will be saved before it is transferred to the iPhone.

3. Insert a DVD into your PC’s DVD-ROM drive. By default, Windows will try to play the disc, and the auto-play window will open. Click “Cancel” to close the window.

4. Click the “Open DVD” button in the Cucusoft DVD Converter window. A window will open, allowing you to specify the drive in which the DVD is located. Click “OK” after the drive is selected, and a new dialog box will open with the DVD conversion options for that disc.

5. Enter a name and the desired location for the output file. Then, using the slider in the middle of the window, determine the quality, size, and bit-rate of the file. A larger file will have better video quality, and smaller files will allow you to fit more content on your iPhone, though it will be of a lesser quality.

6. Press the “Yes” button to begin the conversion process. Depending on the speed of your computer, it may take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours for the Cucusoft iPhone DVD Converter to finish its work.

7. Transfer the file from your computer to your iPhone using the iTunes software, and the movie is ready to watch.

Using the Cucusoft iPhone Video Converter

1. Run the Cucusoft iPhone Video Converter by navigating the “Start” menu or by double-clicking the icon on the desktop. Two windows will open. One will resemble the iPhone, and it is used to preview the files to be converted. The other window will contain all of the conversion options.

2. Open the file you would like to be converted by clicking the “Open file” button and navigating to the directory in which the movie is stored. More than one file can be selected, allowing you to covert many files at once into the iPhone format.

3. Select the iPhone video format of the output file from the “Profile” menu. This will help to determine the size and quality of the resulting movie, as well as its compatibility with devices other than the iPhone.

4. Choose the directory into which the file should be saved by using the “Output” menu.

5. Click the “Convert” button, and once the Cucusoft iPhone Video Converter has finished running, you can transfer your movie to the iPhone.
